Bethany Presbyterian Church, Twcn-tv-secend
and lialr.bridge streets, where
Mr. Wanamnker was senior elder and
Superintendent of the Sunday school for
mera than a half century, were of a
memorial character. The Rev. Dr. A.
Gorden MacLennan speka of the grent
ervlce Mr. Watamaker rendered te the
hurch and te humanity.
Speaking at the memorial service in
gethany Temple la6t evening, the Itcv.
Dr. Walter B. Greenwny, the pastor,
told hew Mr. Wanamakcr's little
Jwcket Testament, which the great
xnerchant carried with him ever since
he was a young man, was buried with
)llm. Dr. Oreenway said that many of
the pages were tern from years of use.
Dr. Greenway told hew Mr. Wann
waker gave the ground en which the
Bethany Temple was built and a small
contribution when the congregation
atarted its work. "H miirht hnve nnid
11 the expenses, but he chose the better
way." Dr. Greenway declared. "Mr.
"Wanamaker waB always willing te help
Jjeeple te help themselves."
Sunday Scheel His Monument
"Bethany Sunday school is his men-
bment," declared Dr. Lewis S. Mudge
Jn enumerating the merchant's splendid
qualities. "Bethany is a great edu
catienal institution. Mr. AVnnamaker 1
aw te it that the great eternnl truths, I
upon which men can take a firm stand,
were taught there." Dr Mudge mid
that Christians should praise Ged for '
ending a man like Jehn WnnnmaUer
among them.
Praising Mr. Wnnnmakcr as a
fchurchman, Dr. Mudge said the mer-
chant was proud of the fact thnt the
JPresbyterian Church had n reprrsentn-
tive form of government, and thnt the
founders of the Natien hud meiir'eii
the form of gevernmeut of the i'nitel
States after that of the Prsebvterian
Church.
"Mr. Wanamaker wns socially !n.
rlined. Although a very ileh man lie
possessed thnt wenderfull) censtnut ve
Xiewer called love. Menev will net
uake friends. Leve will always. Mr
"Wanamaker was n spiritual man, h s
nptritual life resting upon a sovereign
Ged, a sovereign Lord Jesus Christ, n
fceverclgn Boek, the Bible, and a sev.
frelcu self, capable of accepting or re
JlcthiR Jesus.''
Had Talth In Tiespul
Dr. Geerge llnwes. who is pnstnr of
the Market Square I'resbvterinn
Church, Harnsburg, pni.t that i'rebv
terlans have been studying Jehn Wann
maker for years, but "meta thnt he is
Bead we begin te realize what :i gient
man be was. I susnect that when ,m.
!U llthcr twenty-five years have missed
Bethany Church and Hethanv Temple
wlll consider him a bigger man than
they de today. Jehn Wanamaker was
great in religion because of his faith in
the old Gospel. It was a (iesnel of
rhlch he was never ashamed. We will
taiss his inspiration; we will miss his
influence; we will ratsa his counsel."
Nineteen hundred member of the
3Betllny Temple Sunday Scheel con
ducted memorial exercises yesterday '
afternoon, singing the hymns that were
Jfr. Wanamaker's favorites. Judge
larmend MacNellle deluered a memo-
ktal address.

WHY
PAY
AS
MUCH
AS
for eny Playor-Plane, lf you can buy a new, high-grade and guaranteed instru
ment for less, en easy weeklv or monthly payments, with several dozen music
rolls, a bench and cabinet thrown In?
A well-made Player-Piane, if carefully handled, will taat from 25 te Sfyen
and be a constant source of pleasure and entertainment te its owners.
The Cunningham Player-Piane is manufactured with the celebrated REO
STYLE patents owned and controlled exclusively by us, In our modern. vreD
quipped factory. Se perfect In construction is this instrument that n child enn
play with all the expression of the master composer himself.
Every Player-Piane we manufacture has a double valve action and metal
tubing. De net let anybody talk you Inte buying an Instrument with a single valve
nctien( as it has net the power or endurance lf it had, why should we spend twice
as much money in developing a double valve action?
The very fact that for ever a quarter of a century we have been offering
810,000.00 for a better piano than the MATCHLESS CUNNTNGHAM should be
sufficient proof of its quality!
All our instruments are priced from 20 te 80 per cent. lower than any dealer
anywhere (whether large r small) ran afford te sell. Terma arranged te suit the
