PATEHSON, N. J., May 12.-In ,i
stralght-from-tlio-shoulder nddress this
morning to 175 young students at Diew
Theological Semlnnry, the lending Meth
odist trninlng school for clergymen In
this country, "Illlly" Sunday pleaded that
they go out Into the world nnd preach tho
Gospel ns he knows It.
He exorted them to ipvnr of
"theories," nnd to shun modern "Isms,"
which ho characterized as the devil's
trnps for snaring unwary souls.
It was the duty, "Billy" said, of the
men about to enter upon ministerial
careers to feed a world of spiritual slnr
vntlon. His nddress was bnsed on tho
story of Christ feeding tho GOO.
Ezra Squler Tipple. D.D., president of
Drew, Introduced "Billy" to tho somln
nrlans, lauding him highly for Ids woik
and for tho steadfastness of his Gospel.
Just like any other crowd of college
hoys, the students cheered tho ovnngellst.
Robert W. nosers, professor of Hebrew,
nnd the noted nssyrlologlst, who Is well
known In Philadelphia, after hearing
"Billy," said:
"I cannot praise him too highly. Al
though I differ from him In some of his
conclusions, thero can be no question but
that ho Is a great and powerful force for
rlghteousnem."
The moment "Billy" reached the broad
green campus of the seminary he said,
"It's great. How I wish I might have
nttended a place as beautiful as this. God
Is everywhere. You feel Him everywhere.
No wonder Drew turns out such men nn
Bishop Theodore S. Henderson, of Chat
tanooga, who Is tho Bishop with the
punch."
One thousand members of thn Pnterson
W. C. T. U. were In "Billy's" audience at
tho tabernacle thU nfternoon, waving
handkerchiefs and flags and giving loco
motive, cheers for "Billy."
"Sunday will help us drlvo out the
booze," they chorused, and hundreds if
grny-halred women shouted "the boozo"
as sterdily as did their much younger
sister.
In the tent city surrounding the taber
nacle the sailors from the North Atlantic,
lying In the Hudson, who nre to attend
the tabernacle services tonight, will be
fed by the members of the local cam
paign committee.
"Rodey" sang "Pure White nibboqs"
for the W. C. T. U. people at tho after
noon meeting, which became a regular
temperance session. The audience wm
a 1st go one for an afternoon, number
ing more than 5000, but a usual very
few attended from this city.

complaint was made to the police.
It Is difficult to figure accurately tho

tho estimate upon an nvcrago of 325 vot

tho percentage will figure about 70 per

In the du Pont offices
it is L. B. steel
Everybody knows that du Pont stands for
dynamite and powder. And for a variety
of by-products, too.
In keeping with the character of its splendid
new building in Wilmington, Del., the duPont
Powder Company has equipped its sales divi
sion with Library Bureau steel files.
This corporation is partial to L. B. filing
methods. Main office and sixteen branches
hnve been standardized with the L. B.
Automatic Index.
The choice of steel was an appreciation of the
fact by the du Pont Company that, in this
age of steel, Library Bureau combines
Bmooth-working construction and beauty of
design with service.
Library Bureau steel fits the small business,
too. Even the one-man concern.
