FOLLOW CHRIST IS
Dim AND OF SUNDAY
Continued from 1'nRe Oni
ought to do ns Christ did. Halt the
people In the churches today Jilst say they
nro Christians. Something Is expected ot
a Christian that Is hot expected of a non
Christian or a man who does not attend
church. If therd is no difference between
a Christian and the so-called Christian
then you might, with equal propriety,
tack a W. C, T. U. sign above a saloon
and a Y. W. C. A. streamer above thd
house of HI fame."
To Illustrate tho power of a good Chris
tian nnd his actions for tho Itedcemcr,
he told how Moody had led a young man
to a decent llfo hy asking him about his
soul's salvation whllo riding on a rail
road trnln. N
"What would have been Moody's power
over that young man had ho been play
ing cards In tho smoking car?" tho
evangelist asked. "William Beynolds
vns that young man, and, but for Moody's
oxamplo and activity for Christ, all tho
good that later camo from Reynolds' Ufa
would have been lost.
"Billy" Sunday ngaln had a happy tlmo
this morning, Once more ho got an op
portunity to meet n big crowd of working
men In their oveinlls, a pleasure for which
ho Is always keen.
While on his way to the city from John
Wnnamaker's Jcnklntown mansion, whero
ho spent tho night, tho evangelist stopped
at the Haney-Whlto Company's plant,
Broad and Somerset streets, and Bhook
hands with nil tho workmen. Efforts
wore mnde to hnvo him speak, but because
of tho busy afternoon ahead of him, ho
could not do so.
Mrs. Sunday accompanied "Billy," and
they were greeted by William McBrldo,
president of tho company, and William It.
Nicholson. Cornelius Flannngan escorted
them through tho big mill.
Thousands of persons came to tho
city toduy from the cities nnd towns
throughout eastern Pennsylvania, Now
Jersey and Delaware to attond tho
Sunday meetings today and tomorrow.
Because of the announcement that to
morrow would bo the last day, beforo
Sundav decided to stajf a week longer, the
cvnngellht would preach In Philadelphia
tho rush of outside delegations will doubt
less be greater than on nny other day.
"Billy" announced this morning thnt
he would go to Trenton on Monday, when
ho will address the New Jersey legisla
ture He will bo received by a delega
tion of Senators and Assemblymen nt
tho State House, and before speaking nt
2 o'clock he will bo a guest at a lunch
eon, nnd will be taken on a sight-seeing
tour.
NO SECOND CHANCE.
"There Is no second chance. If you
onco get Into hell you'll never be given
a chance to get out ngnln."
This was the message "Billy" Sunday
delivered to the thousands of persons-who
filled the tnbcrnaclo last night. Several
thousands wero unablo to got lnsldo nnd
had to be turned away.
Tho call for men and women to como
out and profess their faith and belief In
Jesus Christ nnd their dcslro to lead
Christian llveB took 227 persons down tho
"sawdust trails," swelling tho total for
the day to 452. One woman shrieked hys
terically Just after sho had taken the
iiand of tho evangelist and then swooned
nnd fell In tho Bawdust. She regained
her composure Immediately nnd was given
a scat In tho front "glory row."
There were more than 23 special delega
tions In nttendnnco last night Many
gifts were taken to the platform for
Sunday and "Ma" and members ot their
party.
Cash presents for Sunday, to bo added
to next Sunday's thank offering,
amounted to $250. One check for $100 was
sent by representatives of the Crane Ice
Cream Company; another, for $30, enmo
from employes of tho firm of Hnlpen,
Green it Co.; another, for $13, was given
by workers for William II. Horstmann. A
delegation from the Williams & Marcus
Company gavo Sunday a check for $23.
A box of gold from 200 employes of Cnrey
Brothers Wall Paper Manufacturing
Company waB also presented. Other gifts
Included many useful nrtlcles.
There were more than -1000 seats occu
pied by the delegations.
WOOL MEN NOT ALARMED
England's "Contraband" Order Gives
Them No Anxiety.
Many Philadelphia merchants said to
day that England's latest action in mak
ing wool contraband will have very little
effect upon business, as there Is not much
wool exported from here. In view of
this condition there ls no uneasiness
among the dealers.
Thomas II. Ball, of 15 South 3d street,
said: "Wo export very little wool. Wo
get almost all our wool from British
Columbia and South America. England
had already declared an embargo on
wool, nnd wo nro holding on to all wo
have, rtegaiding foreign contracts for
goods, these contracts are gradually run
ning out for this season. England ls
now better prepared to supply her
needs."
Percy Peiser's Funeral Tomorrow
Percy Pelser, president and general
manager of the Keystone Trading Stamp
Company, who died Thursday, will bo
burled tomorrow from his late residence,
114 North 40th street. Ho was 39 years

SUNDAY'S SERMON TODAY
"WALK AS JESUS WALKED"
"Text, I John II, e-'He that snlth
he abldeth In Him ought also to so walk
oven ns Ho walked.' '
"I consider this a moat rcmarkablo
verse. It represents what real Christian
ity Is. Wo who nro of Him should do,
think nnd walk ns Christ docs. When
j'eter, .Tames and John started to follow
Jesus, they did not expect to sny good-hy
to Him nt tho next town. They did not
expect to go In an opposite direction from
Mm. What would you think It 1'etcr,
James and John, His disciples, would
hnvo gono to Damnscus when Jesus went
to Jerusalem? Supposo they were to bo
met by some who would ask them who
they were nnd they would say they wore
Christ's disciples, but thnt they wero not
following Mm because Ho was used to
their absence.
"Just such scenes aro being witnessed
all over the land today. This Is Just tho
way many church pcoplo nro acting. You
aro supposedly of His people, but you
nro not accompanying Mm wherever He
goes, Did you tako Chtlst with you when
you went to thnt card party? Was Hn
with you at the dan to? At the theatre?
If some ono Bhotild nak you what yon
wore doing at thoso places, would you
say, 'I nm following tho Lord?'
"If a mnn claims to bo a ChHstlan he
ought to do as Christ did. Half the
pcoplo In churches today Just say they are
Christians. Something Is expected of n
Christian that ls not expected of a non
Christian or a man who docs not attend
church.
THAT WHICH IS EXPECTED.
"Something Is cxpocted of a professing
Christian that Is different from tho per
son In the world. If thcro Is no difference,
then you might with equal propriety tack
n W. C. T. IT. sign above a saloon nnd a
V. W. C. A. Btrcamer cbovo a house of
111 fame.
" 'What do yo more than others?' You
say, 'I go to church.' So docs the dovll
ho beats tho sexton there so does the
browcr. You sny, 'I put money In tho
collection box.' So does tho browcr. Hilt,
'What do yo moro than othciti?'
"Over In Peoria, III., lived William ney
nolds. A friend asked him: 'Do you think
I nm going to hell?'
" 'Yos.' answered Iteynolds.
" 'And you nro going to heaven?
" 'I hopo so.'
" 'What I can't understand Is why you
have known mc for 15 years, known thnt
I was going to hell nnd never talked to
mo nbout It.'
"Reynolds wns dumfounded.
" 'Of nil tho people In Pcorln, you nre
the ono man I thought was least Inter
ested. What made you think nbout it?'
"Tho man told nbout traveling on a
train nnd sharing his seat with another
man, who nskcrt him If he wns a Chris
tian. Thoy leaned forward against tho
Beat In front of them, while the stranger
prnyed. And tho Btrnnger provod to bo
D. L. Moody. Reynolds decided thcro was
something wrong with his religion and
ho went to Chicago to see Moody.
HAD MOODY PI.AYED CARDS.
"All tho good that came out ot the
latter life of William Reynolds would
havo been lost had lUoody been riding In
tho smoking car playing cards. There's
something for you old half-baked elders,
deacons and other church ofllclals.
"What would Jesus do If Ho wero a
Sunday school teacher, as many of you
ore? Would Ho put as llttlo time In the
work as you? Your praycis, you will
find, nro worth no more than tho nld you
aro wilting to put forth to bring them to
pass.
"All of our work for tho Master has
been done by the Holy Spirit working
through weak human beings like you and
me.
"Beforo the meetings close I'm going to
Invite all tho preachers upon tho pint
form to tako n good look at you. You
aro Jicro for every meeting, but you aro
too weak to go to the prayer meetings.
So your preacher won't seo you out ngaln
until tho next revival sweeps around.
"There "has to be a first step In order
to bo a Christian. You had to decide to
got married. You reached a decision be
foro you become a lawyer, doctor or
preacher. You likewise con not be a
Christian without first making a decision.
It should not bo done on mere Impulse.
Jcbus Christ did not come to tho world
to drive men into tho kingdom. You must
decide yourself. It Is a personal matter.
Tho reason wo havo so many milk, chalk
and vinegar pcoplo In tho church Is be
cause they never cut tho shore lines.
They are still held to tho old haunts on
earth.
YOU MUST PROGRESS.
"Once a decision Is made thero must be
consistent going forward. Tho Christian
life Is warfare. There can be no going
back. If you cannot say good-by cards,
good-by dancing, good-by theatre, then
God does not want you. Do you think a
man can plow and still look back? What
sort ot furrow do you think he would
make? In this manner you will know
just how much you weigh beforo tho
gates of hcavoii. These who look back
will surely go back. When you Indulge
yourself just onco In these things It Is a
challenge for the devil to get you. Thero
Is no uso for you to sing: 'Jesus, Keep
Me Near'the Cross,' nnd you aro looking
and going the other direction. What Is
tho uso for you to pray when the devil
is your daddy? If you really want to
keep near tho cross you'll do what God
wants you to do.
"When you have settled the question,
'Whnt does It mean to be a Christian ac
cording to Jesus?' you will settle a thou
sand others that will como up.
"If you are w'lllng to follow Christ
nothing will Interest you so much na a.
revival or a prayer meeting. 'If any man
would come to Me let him deny himself
and follow after Me.' Every man has
two ndturos, and there Is constant war
fare between them, If you love God
UNITARIAN
CHRISTIANITY
Come to the Unitarian churches
tomorrow all you that know that
tho theory of evolution has brought
enlightenment to mankind; nil you
that comprehend that to read the
Bible intelligently Is the only way
to find Its real meaning; nil you that
In your hearts comprehend that Unl
tarianlsm" is tho, sunniest, bravest,
most devout manifestation of Chris
tlan truth that the world has ever
known. Hold aloof no longer through
prejudice or Indifference. You do
not need salvation. You need Joy,
light, freedom, faith and progress,
you need to be lined up for right
eousness hy a music like unto that
by which soldiers proudly maroh.
Do you not see that you have It In
Unltarlanlsm?
At the First Unitarian Church,
2125 Chestnut street, the minister.
Rev. Charles E. St. John, will preach
tomorrow at 11 and 8, Ills subject

A CONTINUOUS PERFORMANCE.
"Religion Is a continuous performance
for God If you have religion you will
bo tho pollen tlfat will fertilize Into activ
ity for God all tho people you meet. It
Is the evergreen religion, not tho ground
hog vnrlcly, that moves tho world.
"Thcro nro some of you whom your pas
tors have to pat on the baclt nil of the
tlmo to keep you going right. You nro so
sensitive. I despise that .sort If you
follow Christ, nail your flag with nails
long enough to be clinched on the other
sldo of tho masthead. Bo like Job. Ho
kept tho dovll busy and tho devil had
llttlo chanco ,r sleep with him on tho Job.
"Tho warfare Is on between your two
natures. Get Into tho fray. PUt on the
whole armor of God, Being a Christian
will furnish you with all tho scope for
battle that you want.
"There Is nothing to tho situation but
two things. Thero tiro two slJes. You
nro cither saved or lost.
"The only way to got salvation Is by
repentance through fnlth In Jesus Christ.
Why should peoplo be afraid with God
on their side? The word of God Is flnnt
with me. The duty ot man Is unques
tioned obedience.
"Every question can be settled this
wny: What would Jesus do? What docs
the Bible Bay? What would Jesus do In
all of your deliberations and actions? If
you employ, do ou treat your help as
you would be treated? If you aro em
ployed, do you do your best? If you are
a merchant, nro you square with your
clerks ond customers? If you aro n min
ister, would He prench what you preach?
If you aro n lawyer, would Ho take some
of the cases you take?
"If Jesus Christ camo to you home
would you show him tho Ico chest?
Would you let Him look Into tho Bhclvcs
that hold tho cards? Would you Invito
Mm to tho theatre, to the dance?
"If you will not bo n Christian, then In
God's nnmo stop professing you aro one.
It's Jesus Christ or nothing at all."
I.IQUOIt INTERESTS DRIVEN
INTO OPEN BY GOVERNOR
Snloonmen Take to Circulating: Peti
tions in Local Option Fight.
The liquor forces, In their fight to pre
vent the pasaago of a. local option bill,
havo been driven Into tho open by the
vigorous campaign waged by Governor
Brumbaugh, and have adopted the tactics
of the men who nro conducting tho cam
paign for local option.
In nenrly overy wholesale and ictnll
liquor establishment nntl-locnl option pe
titions arc being circulated today. Saloon
keepers and wholesale liquor drnlcrs nre
tttglng their patrons to sign them. They
will bo sent to the Philadelphia legis
lators. "As voters in your district we are op
posed to tho pending local option bill nnd
the prohibition of the wine, spirit and
beer Industry by stntute." reads the potl
tlons of the liquor men.
"Ho voted for you because, as a can
didate, you ran on the platform opposed
to local -jptlon. Together with hundreds
of your constituents, we assisted, by our
ballots, to elect you, feeling absolutely
sure that you would have the manly
courage to represent tho views of tho
otors who elected you. We are still of
that strong confidence In you In the belief
that you will oppose an prohibition or
local option bill, bocnuse ou know that
the local option fight In your dljtrlct was
square and open during jour campaign.
Because of the further fact that tho
voters of tho State defeated local option
by a very large majority of tho members
of your body ngulnst It.
"It Is true that any attempt to persuado
or coerce you Into voting agulnst the
views of the people who elected you Is ns
much n dishonor nnd as greatly Immoral
in tho Governor as It ls honorublo nnd
moral for him to stand by his pre
election, per&onal political pledges. We,
therefore, petition you to oppose the local
option bill No. 2S3, nnd use your Influ
ence to defeat It."

HOLLAND, FIRST v
SUBMARINE VESSEL,
A NEGLECTED RELIC
Buried in Sand in "Grave
yard of Ships' Along
With Other Once Fa
mous Craft, Now Dis
mantled and Forgotten.
Partly burled In the s.nd, half-filled
with the waters of the Delaware Itlvcr,
neglected nnd almost forgotten, the flrst
modern submnrlnc the United Stntcs ever
owned, the Holland, Is ljlng today an Ig
nominious wreck In the "Graveyard of
Ships" of Henry A. Hltner's Sons Com
pany, bnck of Petty's Island, opposite
Cramer Hill. Nearby llo tho hulks of
other vessels which onco proudly sailed
tho soon seas. Pieces of ships that
have mndo places In history nre scnttcrcd
around on the bench.
Advanced types of tho Holland have
revolutionized modern naval warfare.
Tho country Is clamoring for tho building
of more of tho undcr-watcr craft, yet tho
vessel which mado tho success of tho mod.
orn submarine posslblo Is now a prey to
thp heartless machines of tho scrap Iron
dealer. She has been ripped apart, her
engines removed and Is now n mockery
of tho vessel, sho was when John J. Hol
land sold her to tho Government 15 years
ago.
Around this dilapidated craft Is written
the history of the Indomitable courage,
tho painful pattenco nnd Inflexible per
Bcvcrance of her Inventor. Sho repre
sents tho labors of a quarter of a cen
tury. Hollnnd constructed many sub
marines which wero unsuccessful beforo
tho Government finally ncceptcd tho Hol
land. I.ewls Nixon's plant at Elizabeth, K. J.,
turned out tho Holland, along the lines
suggested by her Inventor. Sho was 63
feet 10 Inches In length, 10 feet 3 inches
In breadth, with a depth of 10 feet 7
Inches. Her displacement wns 75 tons.
The Government paid $130,000 for tho
ci aft, which tho builders said hnrt cost,
counting tho pi Ico ot tho experiments,
previously, more than $200,000. She wns
such a success that six similar sub
marines wero ordered Immediately. They
havo nil been superseded by modern
craft.
Tho Holland wns operated on tho Biir
faco by gasoline engines with a speed
of bcvcu knots. Electric motors supplied
tho undcr-wnter motlvo power nt less
speed. One of tho features of tho boat
was the aerial gun In tho bow, which
could throw a shell of high explosives
nearly a mile.
Keeping the Holland company In tho
"cemetery" arc tho romalns of the Brit
ish steamship Santos, which Inter became
n fruit steamship called Venus and beforo
her death wns tho Maxltro Ferez. a gun
boat of tho Nlcarnguan Navy. When she
was being broken up n swarm of tarantu
las hidden In tho cattle halt used for
refrigerating purposes drovo the workmen
overboard. With her bow lying against
the Maximo Ferez Ib the old Iron side
wheel steamboat Clinton, which piled for
many years between Jacksonville and
Havana. She was built In "Wilmington In
1872.

WE DO NOT LIVE Tlfo
SERMON ON THE MOUNT
The Rev. J. II. Earp Saya
Christ's Word Is Explained
Away or Misread.
"Wo havo foctisscd our spyglasses upon
our neighbors until their faults havo been
magnified Into scandals," said tho Hev.
Joseph H. Karp, pastor of St. Paul's Me
morial Church, In n, sermon nt today's
I.cnlen service In St. Stephen's Church,
10th abovo Chestnut.
"We hnvo condemned them In tho name
of God," ho continued. "Wo havo In
vented theologies with which to damn
thoni. Wo havo taken tip stones with
which to crush them. Wo havo done
everything except to remember tho words
of Him who said, 'Let him that Is with
out Bin among you cast tho flrst stone.'
Mon havo not had courago to llvo tho
Sermon on tho Mount. Wo lvave preferred
to explain It nwny or to misread It."
'DEVOTION TO FAITH
The Rov. Mr. Pfnttcicher Plenda for
Lasting Belief in Christ.
"Are you going to bo like the ttoman
centurion, a momentary convert, or nro
you going to walk forovor In tho path of
Christ, IIUo Paul?" asked tho llev. E. P.
Pfattelcher In tho noonday sermon at Old
St. John's Lutheran Church, llnce below
6th street today. Mr. Pfattelcher tlrew
a pnnallol between tho momentary con
version, through fear nnd passion, of
tho soldier, who, when ho saw how Christ
boro His suffering on the cross, cried,
"Truly, this wns tho Son of God," nnd
Paul. Taul beenmo converted nnd his
n.tmo appears over and over ngaln In tho
IJIblo. Tho centurion, on tho other hand,
wont back to his former llfo nnd wns
lost.
WEAK CHRISTIANS SCORED
Tho weakness nnd hosltnncy of men
who profcos to bo Christians and yet do
not tnke a determined stand for the prin
ciples of Christianity wcio strongly de
nounced by lllshop Charles E. Woodcock,
of Kentucky, who delivered the noonday
I-entcn nddrcss at tho Garrlck Theatre
today. "The hearts of sonic men," he
said, "aro so calloused that tho truth of
God cannot enter them, because they
have the power to kcop It out. If there
wero nothing more In God than you can
explain there would not be enough of
God to save ou after you have done ex
plaining. You cannot meet God on the
l.usls of power, because He Is omnipotent,
and not on tho basis of Knowledge, bc
cau?o Ho Is omniscient. But you can
meet Him on tho basis of lovo nnd father
hood." Dr. Hobnrt Amory Hare Improved
Dr. Hobntt Amory Ifnie, 1S01 Spruce
etieet. who Is 111 In Atlantic City, Is re
potted today to be recovering rapidly. Dr.
Kdwmd Martin, chief of curgcry In tho
University of Pcnnsjlvauln, attending
him, said that Doctor Haio may return
to his homo within nfweek.
