PRACTICAL SERMON
OF REV. DR. GIFFIN
DELIVERED IN ELM PARK
CHURCH LAST NIGHT.
Hi Topic Wris "Our Citizens' Duty
to Our City" What Our City
Needs Abovo Everything Else Is
a Man Ona Who Hits the Power
to Lead We Do Not Need New
Policies ns Ratlly as We Need ti
Good Manager to Enforce the Pol
icies Now in Vogue.
lU-v. Dr. C. M. aiiilti delivered In
Hlln Park church Inst nlirbi n discourse
In which lie viewed the leut need of i
Serantcm. it wns nupplementtuy to a.
talk he wave two iveelts itfjo on "our
iJItlzetm' Duty to Our City." which
whs very ntlrrlns and much enjoyed by
the large iiudlence which heard -t.
His remarks liiHt cvenlntr wu not
iltilte so pointed mid exciting as on
the ptcvloiis occasion. Ills text wiih
froin Isaiah xllt: 12: "I will make a
man mote precious than pure sold."
Dr. (Htlln said, in part:
An overseer looklnv over u Ilia nf op.'r
utors about to Ik'kIu woil; said. "We n-e
short of a num.' That seems to b. t ho
condition of our city now. It is sm Ii a
serious Hcmclty Unit we do well to face
It and M'i If the shoiliiKc tun lit over
enme. The woril of the text refer to a
dearth of the warrior sen. It lndlcato a
(lcfoncelc'is condition In u military stat ,
In our day anil place we need les" sol
diers and more statesmen.
Some female agitators KURticst thst th"
link of male side of the rate will not
prevent good government as the women
can rule better than the men have ruled.
We should be ashamed of them If they
could not. Ceitnln It is that we can have
no Improvement In the conduct of public
affairs until we get that Improved con
ductorthe rlKht man.
The doctor Insistent on the si'entnesa
of a real man, one who has the full
proportions and thought, one such lull
orlild specimen would shine in our
olty'a firmament like a sun. lie at
tempted in general terms to Indicate
what he meant by this one of such Im
portance to our municipal manage
ment and quoted as Indlcatlnu: him,
the declaration ot Frederick of Prus
sia when IiearitiR that the creat Will
iam Pitt had been given the premier
ship in 1'hiRland. "Al last Kuglnnd has
brought forth a man." That product
our city needs above all other tilings.
His enumeration of the features' of this
Important Item In our city develop
ment watt as follows:
ML'riT UK A LF.ADINU SPIIIIT.
First lie must be n leading spirit. If
he is not pushing lie will he a candle un
der ii bushel, r.etwcen leading and lord
ing he drew a distinction. He declared
bosses were not a recent growth. Self
chosen despots alwuvs have been when
the people pelttlltted them. In Athens
his name was Cleon. In New Yo'1;,
Tweed, Crokcr. In Pennsylvania a ques
tion hanging in the scales, in Beratitnii,
disputes as to wlio Is the power. The
fireeks declared "that Is not a city which
Is owned by one man."
Knghtuil broke up the pocket boroiiuli
system and we want no pocket cities
latriid about by the ealtcd manager.
We do need a man big enough to he man
ager. We are running alter petty self
announced politicians unfit to be direc
tor. Wo are playing kitten, the head
chasing the tall. If you think of our
city as like a company playing on the
stage wo have no leading man. We aro
without the star. One night a proces
sion of American citizens, a howling lot
In Its foreign accent, bote a. banner with
these word", "No one man power. Vote
for D." This D was only another king
to take the throne.
This cry ugainM the competent as con
trolling is the rebilllon againt proper
nilership. History shows that as yet we
are not so tutored generally that we must
not have that magnificent magnetic per
sonallty whose sense will guide the mnnv.
The call is for this man who has Ideas
and can commend himself to the com
mand of our Interests b his lordly worth
and constant sense.
Tho second feature In this man is to
be largeness. He will be a specimen of
that princely stock who have brain, In
dustry, goodness. That crabapplo sort out
numbers tho "seek no fnrther" or "king"
vanity of folks, most will admit. It is
not safo to shut the eyes and tap the
first person nnd say: "You bo chief." The
size Is not uniformly great enough to al
low such a way of selecting mayois. Yet
we pick our otllclals by almost us much
hazard. We stay at home and let the
tools of schemeis nominate nnd then wo
east ballot for their choice. We, do not
unilrrrute the people In our town. We see
on tho streets true hearted citizens. Good
enough for what tasks they have to per
form, they teach, preach, plod, dig.
CALLS FOH Till: P.F.ST.
The speaker here put himself with
them In every-dny work. Hut govern
ment calls for the supreme samples of
our race. Tho. doctor scored the wor
ship of the pendants to the man as he
denounced their readiness to accept for
public positions these fragments, a
dozen of whom put togethei could not
make one full, complete man. He made
a wide distinction between a man and
a full grown male of our race.
HU third and fourth lines in the por
trait, lie was drawing were liberality,
which ho defined as being open to best
and truest Ideas, and the lasting power;
the ability to decline to bo tired or

touch and the brittle sort who break
under the slight Jar. Ho called for 11
man with back bone and not simply 11
knotted siting for 'the spinal column;

After some- further discussion of the
