‘SELFISHNESS’ GNAWS HEART OF RELIGION So-Called Christians Pleasure Crazy, Unmindful of Duties, Says Gipsy. BIBLE CLASSES ATTEND Several thousand members of Bible classes in Indianapolis churches last night heard Gipsy Smith tell them their failing* in their duties toward God. The fact that the evangelist s audience was made up mostly of members of the city s Sunday schools did not preclude the possibility of obtaining many conversions following the forceful sermon, for many persons heeded the call and advanced | down the sawdust paths to the platform. Representatives of several large cities Jfof the country were present at the meeting. and a representative of the churches of Syracuse, N. Y. t who attended the services, invited Gipsy Smith to that city to hold a revival meeting. The evangelist was the recipient of several large bouquets from the ushers of the tabernacle and other persons. "Many of you people go to Bible class on Sunday and that is as far as you get." said the evangelist. "You never stay for the preaching. You study, in a way, a portion of the Scriptures. You know the letter. But that is not enough. NOT FOR FAME BI T TO SERVE. "You know it isn’t enough. Your own conscience tells you it isn't. Where does God come in in your life? Has He a place in it? "I'm going to talk plainly to you people," he said. “I am not going to try too be clever with you. “I am here not for a reputation, but to give to you, God's message. "You’d better never know the Scriptures than to know the letter, and treat God as if He were a farce, and treat your soul as If It were a trinket. What place has God in your life, at your table, in your home. In your business, your social arrangement? When you plan your week's program, do you consult Him? "You go to church because the Bible class Is there. You affect a sort of respectability because you go to church. Why, you don’t know religion at all until you know Christ. PCTS TO SHAYfE “MONGREL GOSPEL.” "Don’t believe this mongrel gospel that anything will do for Christ. God makes big demands on you. Your sacrifice must be acceptable to Christ. It must be a complete surrender. "There is a popular sort of religion that teaches Christ Is all forgiving. That is not the religion of the Old Testament or the New Testament. Your coming must be acceptable. I dare not cry peace, when there is no peace. M “You must put God wheTe he ought "to be—ln your heart. It Isn’t reformation; It’s transformation. Not to be reformed but to be renewed. Inhere is nothing In the world that will take the place of God. There Is no substitute. "The Sunday school lesson doesn’t count, if you leave God out. If you leave Him out, it's blasphemy. Better to be bora in tbe darkest regions of Africa than not to know God and never let His word leave your lips. Y'our knowledge is strong enough to save this city, yes, this State, if you only will yield to it. "If you go to hell. It will be because you refuse God’s remedy for siu. And that’s the biggest 6in of today. Jesus has crowded you at every turn, and you have tr.r&ed nim down. "The only way to salvation is to turn yourself over to Christ, submit to Godsoul, spirit and body—make a complete sacrifice. If your heart is unclean, bring It to Him, and He’ll clean it for you. He'll do it for you, but you must surrender. "The trouble in your life, in your home, in the world. Is the want of God. Let God come in, and see how quickly He'll straighten things out for you. "The absence of God is discord, misery, tragedy, burden, sin. guilt, comlemna,tion. hell. Where He is, is heaven. * “If a man is in with the world, he is out with God. If he Is in with God, he Is out with the world. Let God in your hearts and you'll not want a lot of the world's nonsense. Jesus said. ‘Be not conformed of the world.’ What do you make out of those words? “Professing Christians of this world •re going crazy over the pleasures of the world. Five or six evenings are •pent by your young people in shows or at dances. Isn't that true?" he •houted. "Yes," the answer went up in loud chorus. “Then where’s your religion?’ shouted the evangelist. "Some John the Baptist will have to • ris® to show your churches where to call a halt. N'O ONE INVITES GIPSY TO JAZZ. "Why, I've been here two weeks and nobody ha 9 asked me to a bridge party or asked me to Jazz. “ ‘Oh, no.’ they say, ‘they wouldn’t Insult you.’ They couldn't Insult you. either, If they knew you were out and out for Christ. You’re dancing your way to the deviL You can’t love God and the world. "You can' thold out your hand for a cross on Sunday and hold the other hand out for the black paw of the devil on Monday. “S-E-L-F, there's another word for It flesh. Leave off the last letter of that k word and spell it backward. What have fyou left? SELF. “Self life is enmity against God. You’ve been singing ‘Love Lifted Me.’ Did you mean it?" Thousands arose when an appeal was made for those persons to stand who had accepted Christ. Next was an appeal to those who wanted Christ to enter their hearts to stand up. Hundreds more, arose Appeal after appeal was made by Gipsy Smith, answered each time by the arising of more professed sinners. "It’s a wonder to me that the whole gfftfience does not arise," said the evan“You’ve been a public sinner, so I why not now be a public saint?” Preceding the sermon by Gipsy Smith, Merle Sldener, Indianapolis advertising man, addressed the audience on the subject of collections. He told the. present condition of finances of the organization which bronght the evangelist to Indianapolis, and had pledge cards distributed in an effort to wipe out the $5,000 deficit that confronts the organization now in payment of expenses.

The Truth About Indianapolis
} CHAINS CHAINS which, if linked together, would reach twice across the United States, are manufactured each year by chain companies in Indianapolis. Roller chains varying from one-half-inch to two-inch pitch for bicycles, motorcycles and trucks—silent chains for automotive equipment—large link chains for agricultural and industrial machinery, manufactured at the rate of twentyfour miles a day, have a retail value of nearly $17,000,000 annually. Cyclists in every civilized country in the world ride bicycles equipped with these Indianapolismade chains. Cuba’s gigantic sugar crop is harvested and refined by equipment using Hoosier chains and in our own farm belts the machinery is equipped by chains made in this city. Chains with an export value of $2 000.000 reach the four winds. To make these different chains, 3 600 iren and women receive nearly $5,000,000 yearly in wages. Scientific manufacturing methods and high quality of product enable the Indianapolis chain makers to compete in foreign markets even against an unfavorable exchange rate.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Cory.
Well, the bats in the belfry tower were very good last night and didn’t ring the bells except at thirteen o’clock, o Puss Junior slept very well in the castle of the beautiful princess, whom 1 told you about In the story before this. After spending a few days at this stately castle, Puss started off once more upon his Journey of adventure, and by and by, after a while, he came across a great white bird that was sitting on'a golden egg. So Puss stopped and said: “I won’t bother you, big bird. But, tell me. Did you lay that gold egg?" But the great bird did not reply for a little while. Maybe she was frightened and maybe she was waiting for the golden egg to hatch, for just then, all of a sudden, the shell broke open and out hopped twenty little white birds armed with swords. And one of them was dressed like a captain, with gold epaulets on his shoulder wings, and one had a drum, like a regular little drummer boy. And then they all began to sing: "We are the soldier birds of the air, And we need no aeroplane, For we can fly o’ve the great blue sky In sunshine and In rain. And if an enemy comes in view With our bright, sharp swords we’ll cut him in two.” "Hurrah!” cried Little Puss Junior, forgetting all about the great white mother bird who was standing by flapping her wings, for she was mighty proud to think she had raised a little sky army for Uncle Sam, you know. And then Puss asked the little bird captain when he was going to start for America, for they were all in Fairy Land, you know, and that's a long way from the U. S. A. "We start at once,” replied the bird captain, and then the drummer bird

beat his drum, and away they flew as fast as they could fly, over the ocean and far away, till they reached the wonderful U. S. A. And then they got there, so I'm fold, they went straight to the White House to see Aunt Columbia and Uncle Bam. Well, after that, Pugs said goodby to the big white mother bird and continued on hi? way, and before long he heard a voice say: "WheTe are you going, my small pussy cat, With your bright, sharp sword and your feathered hat?” "I’m seeking adventure,” replied Puss. "But who are you?” And then, all of a sudden, a little bear walked out from behind a clump of bushes and sat up on his hind legs. He had a small red cap on his head and a pair of khaki trousers, but I don't think he wore any shoes, for his claws wore so sharp that he wore out, his shoes so fast that his mother wouldn’t buy him any more.” “Why don’t you seek your fortune?” asked the little bear; "I know where there is some treasure hidden In a deep cave." “Lead me there," said Puss with a grin, "for my purse is empty, and a traveller needs money unless he wishes to beg.” And next time you- shall hear what happened after that.

KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERS
(The Hoopers, an average American family of five, living in a suburban town, on a limited Income, will tell the readers of the Daily Times how the many present-day problems of the home are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. Hooper has evolved and found practical. Follow them daily in an interesting review of their home life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.) Finishing the last of the Ironing after luncheon, Mrs. Hooper went Into town to do her week’s marketing. Her pantry supplies had run rather low and necessitated replenishing to the extent of potatoes, flour, sugar, tea, various spices and cocoa. The usual butter and eggs were ordered with th gratifying discovery that both were going down in price. Her fruit bill was also smaller as she found another bargain in apples, and so cut down on oranges and grape fruit for the remainder of the week. At the fish market she ordered some halibut for Friday, and told the butcher she wanted him to save her a good-sized shoulder of lamb for Sunday, from which he was to remove the blade. One pound of bacon and some dried beef from the delicatessen counter at the market, and the bulk of her marketing for the week had been attended to. Bbe found she needed a yard of pale green raessaaline for a girdle for Helen’s dress; Betty’s garters had to be replaced; Her hairpin box needed replenishing and Helen required a fresh hair ribbon to wear with the new organdie frock. On her return home she spent the remainder of the afternoon working on the dress which she wanted to have finished for the dancing class on Saturday. The

white sateen slip that had been doing duty for the dotted swiss which had been Helen's best for the last summer was in perfect condition to line the organdie with nothing to be done to it but to let down the hem. This dress was simplicity itself, being a straight skirt gathered very slightly on to a round necked blouse, reaching a little below the waistline and fastened with surplice ends of the rneasaline in the back. A deep hem finished the bottom of the skirt and a narrow lace remnant of edging, which Mrs. Hooper found in her scrap bag, outlined the low round neck and furnished a little trimming for the elbow sleeves. “Now, that’s what I call some dress,” exclaimed Roger, approvingly, as Helen tried it on for the final fitting at tea time. "There wasn’t a prettier one at your class dance, I’m sure,” Helen said delightedly as she kissed her mother. "It’s just lovely. Not one of the girl’s in the dancing class has as nice a one.

GIRL DOWNTOWN THEFT VICTIM Purse Torn From Her Near Postoffice. A negro purse snatcher committed on* of the boldest thefts last night that has been reported to the police recently. Walking up to Miss Hazel Nash, 1815 H Central avenue, as she was walking on Pennsylvania street at the east entranco of the Federal building, the thief seized her arm. For an Instant Mis* Nash thought that It was some person who knew her. Then the m.u grabbed her purse and ran. So quickly was the theft committed that she was unable to toll if her assailant was white or colored. The thief ran north and then turned west and ran through the private driveway of the Federal building. Carl Kistner, 1401 Leonard street, was close to the man when he ran paßt him and informed the police that he was a negro. The purse contained $1.7.50, two letters, a pair of eyeglasses and a pair of whit® silk gloves. Miss Nash is employed at the Spink Arms HoteL COMING TO HEAR GIPSY.
