POUND FOR THE POOR. -HIE SLOGAN [Continued From I'lrst l"i*f] fearrlßburg whose officers will be able to use the supplies to the best advan tage. Hears of Much Distress Dr. Stough hopes to make this "Pound Night" one of the most mem orable of the campaign specialities and a time of Christmas cheer for the en '/re city. He spoko last night of the many letters he has received from time to time, asking for assistance for the poor of the city. Some of these letters were pitiful in their appeal and all of them showed, he said, that there Is much dire want, of which prosper ous public seldom hears. One of the letters he quoted was Trom a little boy who said his papa and brothers were out of work and all the Tamily hungry. Another from a little girl said she had heard that Santa Claus cftuld not come to her home be cause they were too poor. Meeting Continues 'til II "Almost like a Sunday school Christ mas concert," was the way Dr. Stough described the service last night when songs from the railroad men and their glee clubs, responses from the choir, presentation speeches with flowers for Dr. Stough and his party, &nd other special features occupied more than an j hour of the service. A general spirit of jollity reigned throughout the meeting and there was much more laughter and applause than has been noticed at any of the recent nights. Dr. Stough was late in starting his sermon and he preached longer than usual, as he said he wanted to give the railroad men the full benefit of his discourse. The after service was fur ther delayed by the personal efforts made by the evangelist to persuade some of the railroad men to hit the trail and the meeting was not con cluded before 11 o'clock. 1,000 Railroaders Attend The tabernacle was comfortably heated and the attendance was better than on the night before. Dr. Stough said he was more than pleased at such tt good turnout on such a night and said he felt more than justified for staying another week. About 1,000 railroaders occupied reserved seats. Both the Harrisburg regiment and the company from Enola were, headed by bands and each played "Onward Christian Soldiers" in a confused con cert as they neared the tabernacle. A glee club of twenty-six railroad ers, all of whom are either trailhitters or were Christians before the cam paign. sang from the platform, "What Will You Do With Jesus, Neutral You Cannot Be." A quartet from the Pennsy also sang from the platform. The entire party of Pennsylvania rail road boys sang several songs. Gift From Rotary Members William S. Essick, president, of the Harrisburg Rotary Club, in behalf of (dumber of his members who attend ed In a body, presented Dr. Stough with a fine "bunch of pansies," which he Invited the evangelist to smell. In his neat speech, Mr. Essick told Dr. Stough he had hit the trail forty years ago and was proud of the fact. He paid he represented a "bunch of fel lows who stood for integrity in busi ness as well as uprightness in living.'' 'ln thanking the Rotarians Dr. Stough said he guessed that he too was a Rotarlan as he had been rotat ing all over the country in the busi ness of evangelism for the last four teen years. Flowers were also presented by groups from the Evangelical Publish ing House and the W. O. Hickok company. I The Rev. George F. Scliaum of the Harris Street United Evangelical Church spoke in reference to the col lection for the Stough party next Sun day and said he hoped to see "not a poor offering but a generous thank of fering for the men and women who have done such noble work In the citjfc" "Good Night Nurse" The sermon had more of the comedy and slangy touch of Stoughism than usual and was delivered presumably with an especial appeal to the rail roaders. Dr. Stough acted and waved his arms with a freedom that proves the vaccination performed the other day has not taken effect. At one point i he balanced himself on the big plat form chair In a comic effort to imi tate the well-known painting supposed to represent the rock of ages, in which a buxom young woman is shown crawling up on a rock and stretching her arms toward a cross. Ho called the picture "A Travesty of Religion," and not at all giving the meaning of the cross. His discourse was based on the work of St. Paul and John the Baptist, who were nothing rf the side-stepper or apologetic, stripe of preachers who preached high-brow literature, but good straight - from - the - shoulder righteousness. Tti comparing their methods and difficulties to the present time he said they had a much harder job than he has now, which seems hard enough. "If you want, a nice scrap, nowa days. just go after the gang with righteousness, go after ballot-box stuff ing for Instance or preach a sermon on the string-pulling practiced to get jobs on Capitol Hill —good night, nurse!" He spoke of the "delegation of the official board of the First Baltlst Church of Jerusalem going to John the Baptist in his jail and asking him to please modify his harsh statements about King Herod running around with his brother's wife"; to all of which John violently answered no, and paid for hia refusal with his head. Why I'olks Won't lilt Trail In speaking of people who do not hit the trail he said ho occasionally meets a man who is reasonably skep tical and cannot understand the prob lems of inspiration, regeneration, the K'onement, or the divinity of Christ; it he declared that 97 per cent, of ose who refuse belief do so because they are unwilling to give up some pet Bin. "If you are really in intellectual difficulty, come to me and I will be ready to help you with my explana tions of the problem which may clear it." Among the eighty odd trailhitters was a bartender, and another who said he was out of a job but had refused a place on a brewery wagon; there was also a member of the Rotary club and a. claim agent of the Pennsylvania railroad. People came up to the last moment of the trailhitting period and several got under the ropes after the prayer of confession was begun. STOUGH CAMPAIGN NOTES The W. O. Hickok Manufacturing Company employes. about thirty strong, were at the tabernacle services last night and sang "Let the Word of God Be Burning in the Heart of Dr. Stough." Miss Palmer will hold a meeting at (ho Moorhead factory to-morrow noon. She will preach in the taber nacle at 2 o'clock.

It was war that brought forth the charity stamp—our Civil war of '6l to '65. Some of your grandmothers first played "post office" with stickers similar to Red Cross seals 'way back in 1862, when thep conceived the idea of selling stamps at fairs for the bene fit of the relief funds for the soldiers' hospitals in Brooklyn, Boston and elsewhere. Nearly $1,000,000 was rais ed in this way before 186 5. After the war this method of raising money was discontinued in this country for a generation, although it found vogue in Portugal, Switzerland. Austria, France, Spain. Denmark. Norway, Russia, Sweden and other European countries. There are. now several thousands of different types of charity stamps used in all parts of the world, as many as forty being used in Austria for chil dren's hospitals alone- Stamps on seals were first used to get money for the antituberculosis crusade in and Sweden in 1904. To Jacob Itiis, the well-known social worker of New York, and to Miss Emily P. Blssell, the energetic secretary of the Delaware Red Cross, jointly belong the honor of originat ing our American Red Cross Christ mas seal. In 1909, Mr. Riis' interest was aroused by the receipt of a tuberculosis stamp on a let ter from Norway. He published an ar ticle about this queer-looking stamp in the Outlook, and suggested some possible uses for it in this country. Miss Blssell at once, saw an opportu nity here and prepared a stamp, from the sale of which her society .realized $3,000 for tuberculosis work. So im pressed was she with this success that she induced the American Red Cross to take up the sale in li}oß on a na tional basis. With very little organi zation and with hardly any attempt at careful advertising the sale that year brought in, nevertheless, over $135,000 for antituberculosis work in various parts of the United States. In 1909, with more'thorough organiza tion, the sale, was Increased to nearly $310,000; in 1911 to over $300,000, and in 1912 to over $400,000. Last year the sale was increased to nearly 45,- 000.000 seals, netting $450,000 for the antituberculosis campaign. It ie fitting to note that war, in human and cruel, was the mother of the Red Cross seal, and that now war for humanity against disease brings it back to its fullest usefulness.

MASONIOTEMPLE IS AGAIN NEARLY BURNED [Continued From First Page] of the building, was working in the cellar and when Fire Chief Kindler rang the elevator bell and told Mr. Machlin the building was on fire, the custodian thought it must be a mis take. He took the fire chief and fire men to the sixth floor. But when the doors to tho kitchen were opened flames blasted forth in all directions. Building Hose in Action The firemen were ordered to put the several lines of "building hose" In ac tion, and to turn as many chemical streams to the top floors as was pos sible. The plug streams were also used. The flames had spread through the floors and were eating their way rapidly to other portions of the build ing. All the companies in the lower district wero ordered into service, and the firemen fought the flames on three different floors at one time. With a temperature of ten degrees above zero the water froze on the nre escapes anil ladders. Fighting the flames from the outside was out of the question. Holes were cut in the floor and walls and streams of water were turned in the direction of the flames. The flames from the fire In the kitchen ate through the floor to tho lodge rooms below. Directly beneath the kitchen is the paraphernalia and ante rooms. Adjoining Is the secretary's and officers' rooms. Flames Destroy Costumes The flames spread to the room in which the costumes are kept In steel lockers. The heat was so intense that the contents of the lockers were eith er burned to a crisp or badly scorch ed. The leather portions of the uni forms were charred. Many of the swords were also badly damaged by tho heat. Fearing that to open the lockers before they had cooled, would mean further loss, no effort will be made to ascertain how great the loss to the paraphernalia is until this even ing. The fire reached the blue room where a meeting of the Robert Burns lodge was scheduled .for to-night, and then spread to the red room. The lat ter was damaged slightly by flre, but mostly by water and smoke. Valuable i papers and books in the safes were not reached by the flames, but records and papers awaiting consideration were on the desks, and a large number of these were destroyed. Members of the various Masonic lodges will bo unable to state how great the loss will be until a complete inventory is made. Tho origin of the fire this morning is a mystery. There was no fire in the building except in the basement where the steam heat plant is located. Per severance lodge held a session last night and after a meeting a buffet luncheon was served. Hot coffee and cocoa were served with sandwiches. Tho gas stoves in the kitchen were used to heat the coffee and cocoa, and at the close of the luncheon the gas was turned off in the main pipe lead ing to the kitchen. This is always done by a lodge member. Gas Was Turned off When tho firemen opened tho doors of the kitchen the entire room was a mass of flames. The firemen had to get out of the room for a time, be cause of the heat and smoke. There was nothing in the kitchen but bread, some leftovers, and a pot of cocoa. Nothing that could cause a flre was used in last night's luncheon. Thoso in charge of the kitchen piled up tho dishes and linen on the tables, intend ing to return to-day to clean up. Firo Chief Kindler could not give any idea as to the origin of the blazo and said he would make a further investigation after the debris was cleared away. None of the Masonic members would advance any theory as to the origin off the flre. The firemen remained on duty untii> after 10 o'clock. A force of men wa9 put to work cleaning up and getting the lodge rooms in shape for a meet ing to-night if possible. t. EVEN IF.
