iHev. Manfred C. Wright Compares Christians to Children of Ephraim in His Sermon.

Christians were compared with the children of Ephraim by the Rev. Manfred C. Wright in his sermon at the Montrose Methodist church Sunday night. The Rev. Mr. Wright took as his text "The Children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, turned back in the day of the battle." He said: "One of the most scathing indictments ever made by a sacred writer is this one against the Ephraimites. The odiousnesa of their conduct appears under four counts. "Count on®: They were recreant in the day of battle. "Count two: They were fully armed and well equipped for battle. "Count three: They were the most powerful tribe of all the Israelites. "Count four: Their desertion put the greater burden upon others who were already doing their part. "The cause of their recreancy was likewise fourfold. First, the want of enthusiasm at the moment of crisis. Second, want of courage4 when the battle was on. Third, lack of confidence In their leadership. Fourth, failure to get a conspicuous place in the fight. "All these causes operate in the re«reeLncy of many today to the cause of God, and the indictment that may be aoade against them may De supported on these same counts. "•Wfcn are among these modern Kphralmites First, those in reform work wtoo in the day of battle are recreant to the cause. Often those who are loudest in their enthusiasm for a proposed campaign in civic righteousBess become the weakest when the fight la on, fearing loss of business, pxwstiga, or popularity and this notwithstanding they have the most effective weapon of modern warfare—a freeman's voice and a freeman's vote^ "Second, those dress parade christians who tarn back when the shouting and the tumult dies and there Is nothing left to do but to fight. In the day of calm they are ready to show their colors for Christ, but let the enemy show an aggressive front, let temptation come in like a flood, let trials come and they are ready to give tip the fight and this notwithstanding they are promised all the equipment of the soldier of God, the helmet of salvation, the breast-plate of righteousness, the girdle of truth, the swora of the spirit which is the word of God. "Third, those laggard churchmen whose zeal and loyalty end when distressing, disturbing and discouraging conditions arise. And may God deliver this church from such spiritual recreancy. We are called to the soldiers of God. And that not only of the kind that appears ouly on dress parade. iWe are called to battle. God help us to stand by the guns in every crisis, financial, social, civic, spiritual, and not to- run up the white flag or retreat from the field, but to be men and women who stand by our posts until victory crowns the banner of Christ."

/SAYS CHRIST IS NEEDED.

Rev. J. Boyd Jones Explains CHristianity in Sermon. Jn the sermon on "Practical Christianity," by Rev. J. Boyd Jones, at the Central Christian church Sunday ^ight, he said: "The revelation of Jesus Christ is tthe supreme need of the hour. This oan be done in only two ways, by prefiept and by example. When the church .revealed Christ in the past her needs jhave been answered but when she adopted human creeds she scored a miserable failure. And I do say that the church in the past has failed. Why, you ask? Take for an example this horrible war which is raging in

7

Europe this bloody butchery that is being carried on by the so-called christian nations. Christ gave us the task of evangelizing the world. Then is It not our duty to stop this terrible blot on the history of civilization and religion. Is it not our duty to insist upon a world peace? "In the past we have laid more emphasis upon creed than we have on character and more stress upon quantity than we have on Quality. While we have been busy with our denomlnationallsm the world has been going to the devil. Jesus Christ advocated a united church and still those of us who say that we are followers of his still do not care to break away from those small ties which we consider so important. "The last step from barbarism up is to free our women, to give them the rights which are theirs under the constitution of this nation and under the laws of God. If the church expects to maintain the sympathy of the women of their churches it is high 'time that they recognized the rights of the women. "Let the church demand that those who have been its friends in the past shall now be given the opportunity to pave the way and clean up this country for a cleaner and better day."

CHAPTER IX—Continued. Thaddeus continued: "It is necessary to explain that at Bakou my little house is one of the first before you reach the quay. I had some Aremnian em play es there. When arrived, what do you suppose I saw? A file of soldiers with cannon, yes, with a cannon, on my word, turned against my house and an officer saying quietly, 'there it is. Fire!'" (Rouletabille made yet another discovery—two, three discoveries. 'Near by, standing back of Natacha's seat, was a figure not unknown to the young reporter, and there, in one of the orchestra chairs, were two other men whose faces he had seen that same morning in KoupriantAJ barracks. Here was where a memory for faces stood him in good Btead. He saw that he was not the only person

keeping watch on Natacha.) "When I heard what the officer said," Thaddeus went

"I nearly dropped out of

the drokji. I hurried to the police commissioner. He explained the affair promptly, and I was quick to understand. During my absence one of my Armenian employees had fired at a Tartar who was passing. For that matter, he had killed him. The governor was informed and had ordered the house to be bombarded, for an example, as had been done with several others. I found Gounsovski and told him the trouble in two words. He said it wasn't necessary for him to interfere in the affair, that I had only to talk to the officer. 'Give him a good present, a hundred roubles, and he will leave your house alone.' I went back to the officer and took him aside

he said he wanted to do anything that he could for me, but that the order was positive to bombard the house. I reported his answer to. Gounsovski, who told me: 'Tell him then to turn the muzzle of the cannon the other way and bombard the building of the chemist across the way, then he can always say that he mistook which house, was intended.' I did that, and he had them turn the cannon. They bombarded the chemist's place, and I got out of the whole thing for the hundred roubles. Gounsovski, the good fellow, may be a great lump of fat and be like an umbrella merchant, but I have always been grateful to hlms from the bottom of my heart, you can understand, Athanase Georgevitch." "What refutation has Prince Galitch at the court?" inquired Rouletabille all at once. "Oh, oh!" laughed the others. "Since he went so openly to visit Tolstoi he doesn't go to the court any m-ore." "And—his opinions? What are his opinions?" "Oh, the opinions of everybody are so mixed nowadays, nobody knows."

among some people as very advanced and very much compromised." "Yet they don't bother him?" inquired Rouletabille. "Pooh, pooh," replied the gay councilor of empire, 'It Is rather he who tries to. mix with them."

Thaddeus stooped down and said, "They say that he can't be reached because of the hold he has over a certain great personage in the court, and it would be a scandal—a great scandal." "Be quiet, Thaddeus," interrupted Athanase Georgevitch, roughly. "It is easy to see that you are lately from the provinces to speak so recklessly, but if you go on in this way I shall leave." "Athanase Georgevitch Is right hang onto your mouth, Thaddeus," counseled Ivan Petrovitch.

and all the splendor with which she had been accompanied the first time, Annouchka appeared as a poor Russian peasant in a scene representing the barren steppes, and very simply she sank to her knees and recited her evening prayers. Annouchka was singularly beautiful. Her aquiline nose with sensitive' nostrils,' the clean-cut outline of her eyebrows, her look that now was aljnost tender, now menacing, always unusual, her pale rounded cheeks and the entire expression of her face showed clearly the strength of new ideas, spontaneity, deep resolution and, above all, passion. The prayer was passionate. She had an admirable contralto voice which affected the audience strangely from its very

The talkers all grew silent, for the the flesh and for the spirit, and she curtain was rising. In the audience there were mysterious allusions being made to this second number of Annouchka, but no one seemed able to say what it was to be, and it was, as a matter of fact, very simple. After, the whirlwind of dance* and char uses ,iC'

aroused. Little Rouletabille, who, not understanding the words, nevertheless caught the spirit of that prayer, wept. Everybody, wept. Ivan Petrovitch, Athanase -Georgevitch, Thaddeus Tchitchnikoff were standing up, stamping their feet and dapping their hands like enthusiastic boys. The students, who could be easily distinguished by the uniform green edging they wore on their coats, uttered insensate orles. And suddenly there rose the first strains of the national hymn. There was hesitation at first, a wavering. But not for long. Those who had been dreading some counter-demonstration realized that no objection could possibly be raised to a prayer for the Tsar. All heads uncovered and the Bodje Tsara Krari mounted, unanimously, toward the stars.
