J. Villers nt the First Ilaptist Church. The Rev. Thomas J. Vlllers, pastor of the First Paptist Church, took for his morning sermon yesterday Hebrews vi, 1. Dr. Villers said in part: "When we talk of leaving principles we think naturally of an essential departure from the faith. For example, the apostasy of Hymenacns and Philetus, who erred concerning the truth, faying that the resurrection was past al-readj-. Put when the apostlo speaks of leaving the word of the beginning of Christ he refers to the elementary instruction concerning our Lord; the rudiments, the

IMiilpntt nt the Central Christlnn Church. Yesterday, in the Christian churches, collections were taken for foreign missions. At the Central Christian Church a large sum was realized at the morning service, when the Rev. Allan B. Philputt preached the sermon. Ills text was from II Corinthians vi, 9: "He that soweih sparingly shall reap sparingly, and he that soweth bountifully shall reap bountifully." He said, in part: "This law pervades all the spheres of life. It is, of course, a mere truism in husbandry. It 13 almost as obvious in the lower ranges of human activity. In business he who would accumulate must Invest. In social life he who shuts the many out of his fellowship will have few to love or care for him. Many people complain that they get so little out of life. But how much have they put into life? "There are men and women who live for the good of others. They scatter benefits with an unselfish hand. Little children love them and smile upon them, the poor bless them, the sick and the lonely cherish their names, and when such are called to their eternal reward the whole neighborhood or city pauses to drop a tear and leave a blessing upon their graves. They have sown bountifully of affection and good deeds; they reap not only ln kind, but ln the enrichment of their own natures. This reciprocity runs all through life. It belongs to the higher ranges as well as to the lower. In the spiritual realm only do men hesitate to act upon it. And yet, in one way and another, the Scripture is always placing it before us. 'With what measure ye mete It shall be measured to you again; 'God shall reward every man according to the deeds done in the body. Be not weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap If we faint not. "We are this morning to make our offering to foreign missions. The principle holds good in this matter, too. Churches that do not support missions are without life and progress at home. It has been suggested that the quickest way to bring up current expenses Is to raise a liberal missionary offering. It has been tried more than once and found to be successful. I know it is not according to the wisdom of this world, but a church can't be run according to the wisdom of this world. It will dwindle and die. All the sap will go out of it. There is a philosophy down deep below the surface that explains all this. People love to give when once they have tasted the joy of it. Giving is an aid to faith. When a man puts $5 on the plate it comes pretty near being a confession that he believes in a personal God. Giving, in the broadest sense. Is the real thing ln religion, anyway. Anel the more remote the purpose for which we give the better. Men will pay for eloquent preaching and line music from mixed motives, but they will not send money to the heathen Chinese from personal pride. The size of the missionary offering is a pretty fair test of the spirituality of a church. NOT TO EE SNEERED AT. "Missions are not to be sneered at or laughed out of court. They have in every land preceded commerce and civilization. Missions Is the chief business of the church. In fact,, it has never done much business worth speaking of in any other line. Her creeds have mostly crumbled, her rituals fade out and change with time. She has been the fountalnhead of organized charity, but the state is now doing it better. Education owes her . a tremendous elebt of gratitude as a foster mother, but It is no longer her province to control schools of learning. She remains a voice, an evangel to sinful men. The church must utter her message to the ends of the earth or fail in loyalty to her great Head. "Jesus Christ was a missionary sent from heaven to do the will of Him that sent Him. The first preachers were calleel apostles because they were sent. The New Testament rings with a call to world wide conquest: '(Jo ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.' The spirit of the early church was intensely misslonan. To arguo to a congregation of Christians that they ought to send the gospel into benighted regions is like arguing with a company of soldiers to march and to tight. It is to argue about the most fundamental thing. The church member that needs converting to missions needs converting to Christ. "We elo neeel converting from our niggardly way of giving. We do not give so as to honor God with our substance. We do not get the blessing and grace that comes with liberalltj'. The great mission fields of the world are open to us as never before. The whole heathen world is brooding. Our cause has martyr graves ln every land. It is no time to falter. Put men allege that the enterprise of converting the heathen is futile and Quixotic. The thing cannot be done. Why measure "duty by an impo??ible scale? The church has never eUme so well or been so true to her mission as when she undertook the impossible. Ordinary, common things she cannot do well. It Is only when the heroic spirit is awakened that her work gets well done. It is her's to remove mountains and cast them into the sea. to heal the blind, to make the lame walk, to cure the sick and to cast out devils. "A short while ago we rejoiced when the allied force found entrance through the walls of Peking. Our fellow-citizens were at lagt, we thought, to find succor. The' walls of ancient superstition are beginning to crumble, and benighted millions may soon rejoice in an intellectual, social and spiritual deliverance for which they have waited long." PROTECTS HIS BODY. Harry Quillait Thinks a Medical College Wants It. A man giving tiie name of Harry Quillan. of Indianapolis, was locked up last nicrht at Mur.cie as insane. He said a physician and a lot of students from a medical colleg-1 had been pursuing him hi order to get his body. He said the "doctor with Ions whiskers" had followed him to Alexandria. Elwood.

Governor Harbin Flensed with Coli mid His Reception at the Charleston Exposition. Governor Durbin and wife and the Governor's staff arrived home yesterday noon from a visit to Havana. Cuba, and the Charleston (S. C.) exposition. Governor Durbin, on seeing the snow and feeling the chilly winds sweeping over the city, said to one of his friends who greeted him on his return: "This is fine weather Co give a party of people who have just come out of the tropics, I do say." The spirit in which Governor Durbin made this remark clearly indicated that he was in excellent health. His appearance also showed a marked improvement after the sixteen days' trip. Mrs. Durbin was also in excellent spirits, and said she enjoyed the trip greatly. As for the remainder of the party, each expressed himself as being well pleased with the outing. Governor Durbin, speaking for the entire party, said if it were not for the great amount of business which each member had to tackle in the next few days there might be some arrangements made for a return trip over the same route. Governor Durbin was more than enthusiastic ln talking of his trip to the Cuban capital and of his reception in Charleston. At the latter place Governor Durbin said he was well pleased with the exposition and the courtesies extended on "Indiana day" last Wednesday. When the Governor was informed that great anxiety had prevailed in the preceding forty-eight hours as to the whereabouts of the party he laughed and said they were not lost, but the railroad officials made arrangements to take the special car containing the gubernatorial party four hundred miles south to escape the washouts in Tennessee and Kentucky. FIFTY-FIVE LANDSLIDES. "In taking a short pleasure Jaunt through a district about sixty miles in length," said Governor Durbin, "we ran across fifty-five landslides. They came from the hills along the railroad. The heavy rains had caused the earth to loosen, and with the sliding earth, many trees also came sliding down the mountain sides." Governor Durbin 6ald that as the party was about to leave Ashevllle, N. C. Friday morning, reports reached the railroad officials that heavy rains and storms had caused great damage to the roads In Tennessee and Kentucky, and in many cases the rails were submerged In two feet of mud. He said that upon leaving Ashevllle they came to a point a short distance from the city where suddenly the train was brought to a stop as the rails were covered with several inches of mud and water. Just ahead was another train that was also in a like predicament. None of the passengers of the two trains could leave thefr berths, as the mud was too eleep. While the officials of the two trains were holding conferences as to how they could best get the passengers out of the mud an official of another road came along and said he could get them out ln half an hour. He was allowed to proceed, and the Governor's party was soon speeding on its way to Atlanta, Ga. Governor Durbin said he saw no washouts along the road, but he understood from the newspaper reports when he arrived In Louisville that great damage hati been done along the route which the party was to have traveled. RECALLED AN INCIDENT. Governor Durbin laughed heartily as he recalleel an incident that happened while the train was on its way from Ashevllle to Atlanta. He said he had often heard of the scenes around railroad trains when outlaws in the Western States undertook to hold up an express train, but It was done in a realistic manner along that route. He said a number of tramps were trying to steal a ride. The train was going very fast, and the conductor and brakeman undertook to make the tramps get off. They refused to comply with the order, and the train was brought to a stop. When the tramps got down from the train they pulled out revolvers and began shooting at the conductor and brakemen. The tramps eild not aim their pistols at any one other than the conductor and his assistants, and the latter kept under cover. The excitement caused by the shooting, Governor Durbin said, was intense, and for awhile the scenes about that train much resembled a wild-west hold-up. Governor Durbin said there was but one thing that slightly marred the pleasure of the whole trip. That was the news that the father of Col. and Mrs. A. W. Lyons, of Ladoga, had died. This- news was received on the morning of the second day the party was In Havana. Colonel and Mrs. Lyons left the party at once and returned to the United States to attend the funeral. The reception given the party in Charleston, Governor Durbin said, could not have been improved. Every citizen, from the mayor to the laboring man, turned out and made the day an auspicious one. The party arrived ln Charleston early Monday morning from Havana. That day and the following one looked cloudy, and gave promise at any time of bringing a good shower. When Weelnesday came the sun shone brightly, and the day was very warm. The party went out to the exposition grounds verv early and took in the sights. The ladles of the city served lunch. The party also attended the races on the grounds in the afternoon. U. C. T. OF A. Xotes of Interest to the Wearers of the Crescent anel Grip. G. W. Matheny went to Terre Haute yes terdav. D. H.

of common schools. It Is for the purpose of displaying the work that the comlr g exhibit is being arranged. Miss Rose Seillck. art critic of the school, has charsc of the preliminary arrangements, and the success of the exhibit, which Is assured, will be due largely to her untiring efforts.

GAVE POOR PERFORMANCE. Prof." Ralph Moore Failed to Enter- ! tain Ills Audience. "Prof." Ralph Moore, an alleged spiritualist, who gave a performance last night ln English's Opera House, was in no way embarrassed when the greater part of the audience hooted and hissed him at the conclusion of his work in the first act. It was said that Moore had been for ten years I a resident of Calcutta. India, and that he had studied the magic of the Hindoos. He failed to display any of it at last night's performance. He was slow of speech, and what little he did utter failed to enlighten the audience on what he was about to do. During the second act "Prof." Moore was more successful. He gave some fair tests In mind reading. He closed his entertainment w ith a cabinet scene. He was placed on a platform supported by two wooden horses. Several assistants tied him to a chair. Then the curtains were lowered. In about six minutes a guitar and two tambourines were thrown over the tops of the curtains. This was followed by the ringing of a bell. Then two or three carnations were thrown over, followed by about two dozen cut flowers. An assistant gathered up the flowers and handed them to persons in the audience. While this was going on the cabinet was quiet. In another Ave minutes the sound "All right" came from the cabinet and the curtains were drawn aside and disclosed Moore sitting ln the same posture as placed by the men. FIRE IN TUXEDO PARK HOMES OF JOHN II. FLECK AM) CHARLES O. Bl'SEIt DESTROYED. The Fire spond Department Did ot Ilellecause of the Lack of Water. A fire that destroyed the homes of John Ii. Fleck, 4301 East Washington street, and Charles O. Ruser, 4306 East Washington street, about 3:30 o'clock yesterday morning, was the subject of indignant comment among residents of the locality, which Is known as Tuxedo Park, and a serious charge was made against the local fire elepartment. Mr. Fleck suffered a loss of 51,800, and Mr. Buser J1.200. It was asserted by n?ighbors of Fleck and Buser that had the department answered the call to the fire as soon as it was made the Fleck home could have been saved from even the slightest damage. The statement was made that a half hour elapsed after the beginning of the fire in the Buser home before the Fleck house began to burn. The fire was discovered in the Buser house at 3:30 a, m. by a motorman and passenger on a in-bound Irvington car, and the two at once rushed to a dwelling a half block away, where they telephoned fire headquarters. Both houses were burned to the foundations. From the Buser house only a lamp was saved, but the Flecks succeeded, with the help of neighbors and friends, in getting out all of thair effects, even to the carpets. The belief was ex pressed that the destructive fire started from a grate in the front room of the Buser residence. Mr. Fleck is one of the proprietors of the Indiana electrotype foundry, and Mr. Buser is a solicitor. Chief Coots said he did not send any ap paratus to the fire because there was no water to be had. and by the time a chem ical engine could have reached the houses it could have done no good. Chief Coots claims that when the alarm came in he telephoned to a house near the fire and learned that both houses were then on fire. and It was too late to render assistance. WILLIAM BLTTME'S ARREST. Local Detectives Secureel Their Man at Anderson. William Blume, a young man who formerly lived at 1709 Columbia avenue, was brought back from Anderson last night by Detectives Colbert and Hauser and charged with grand larceny and burglary. The detectives claim there are a half dozen more thefts for which he should be given credit. He is charged with breaking Into the home of M. F.
