GIPSY BOOSTS AMERICANISM, LEADS CHEER (Continued From Page One.) more or less concerned with the claims of Jesus Christ. In some way, this Jesus is forcing himself upon your attention and Is forcing beautiful things upon your life." YOUNG PEOPLE’S NIGHT OBSERVED. Last night was again observed a* young people's night and the evangelist purposely directed hit remarks and so fashioned his sermon so It would be an appeal which would interest younger minds. At no time did he threaten but pleaded and gave sound argument why the young person should accept Christ while they are young. The evangelist chose as his text the twenty-seventh chapter of St. Matthew, beginning with the nineteenth verse, which concerned the actions of Pilate in asking the people what they wished done with Jesus The Gipsy drew many beautiful lessons from the actions of Pilate In yielding to tho clamoring of the mob that Jesus should be crucified. Is still unable to work behind the bat “The question that Pilate asked In that day Is being asked you today," said the evangelist. “What are you going to do with Jesus? Yours Is a more gracious opportunity than In the days of Pilate, as you have more enlightenment, you know more about Jesus and the way of the cross Is here to aid your understanding and to Illuminate your Judgment. Just as Pilate was making history and as the priests and the scribes were writing history in answering that question, so are you today. We have to decide to love Him, to live with Him, to follow Him and to obey Him. Those of you who do not decide that way drive the nails again into His hands and His feet and place the crown of thorns deeper on His head. Those people are crucifying Him again. You are to give your verdict for or against Him. ANSWER GIVEN WILL DETERMINE CHARACTER. “The answer you give will decide the question of whether you are a good man or a bad man. It will determine your character and you will go up or down Just as you answer that question. You cannot shut Jesus out of your heart and be a good person. You will be a bad man If you shut Christ out of your life. You can’t be truly happy without Jesus. All of your misery comes because you have shut Jesus out of your life. The trouble with us today Is that God Is not In our plans. “A prayerless and Godless life Is animal, vulgar, mean, selfish, and cruel—there Is no peace in that sort of a life. Your happiness will be determined in the way you anstver the question—What shall be done with Jesus? “You may have all that money can buy and yet if you haven't Jesus in your heart, you will be miserable. You cannot be truly useful unless you have Jesus In your life. The Jewels of character are but the pearls of suffering. If your heart aches and sorrow dims your eyes with tears and a great sorrow comes into your life, you don’t go to the flippant person for comfort, but yon go to the one who has walked through the fires of pain with Jesus. You get the sweetest and purest things from those who have gone through the fires with Jesus. DESTINY TO BE DETERMINED. “Something else will be determined—your destiny. You are In school today but next week you may be In the cemetery. Next week you may be measured for your casket and tomorrow you may be marked for death. If there is no Christ, there Is no heaven. No Christ, no crown s and no Christ, no victory." The Gipsy then assumed the attitude of a lawyer defending a client In court when he said, “I want a verdict. I am pleading for your souls Just like a lawyer pleads at the bar for a criminal. I want a verdict from she Jury for Christ. "You can’t get along without Jesus. You cannot escape Him. You cannot hide some place when He passes by because He will come to you. You admire the flowers. He made them. I see Him in the wing of a sparrow as much as In the wing of an angel. I see Him as much In an atom of dust as I see Him in a mountain. When I passed through the Rocky Mountains a few weeks ago I saw God in every valley and on every peak. I saw Hi mon every leaf, on every tree. When you take up a piece of bread He is In it He fathers the rain. “What will you do with Jesua? “There is Just one more question—what will Jesus do with me? You determine that by the way in which you answer the question. The noblest thing you can do is to give your life to Jesus. I know what I am talking about, because I did It. There Is no friend like Jesus.

Has Taught thousands upon thousands that Instant Postum as the meal-time v drink,is better for health than coffee. " There’s a Reason’

Home Run Drives by Gipsy Smith “If wo can capture the women for Christ, we shell capture the homes." “You own not shut Christ out of your hearts and be a good person." "The Jewels of character are but the pearls of suffering." “1 am pleading for your souls like a lawyer pleads at the bar for a criminal. I want a verdict for Jesus Christ." “I see Jesus as much in a wing of a sparrow as I do In the wing of au angel.” “Boys, God wants you for men who will stand for clean and decent citizenship an dmen who will hold up tho Stars and Stripes until they become the pride of tho world.” “Girls, you are wanted to lift the womanhood of the state and the nation to Jesus."

He has held on to me all through these years. His power will break away the chain of handicap. NO CHARGE OF WRONGDOING. "Jesus lets you keep what is worth keeping. He only comes to save you from debauchery, vulgarity and sin. My dear young people, I am not charging you with any wrongdoing, it you have not put Jesus into your life, you have sinned against Jesua. “Boys, God wants yon for missionaries. He wants you for Christian statesmen and Christian politicians. He wants you as men and citizens who will stand for clean and decent citizenship. "He wants you as men who will hold up the Stars and Stripe* until they become the pride of the world. “Girls. He wants you to lift up the womanhood of the State and the Nation to Jesus.” Pausing for a second, the evangelist said: “I have tried to lift you np to Jesus. The next step is up to you. Do you want to love Jesus and be a real Christian? If so kindly stand to your feet?" During the course of the Invitation many young people rose to their feet and so declared themselves for Jesus. SOLDIERS CHEERED. The evangelist then Invited the young people to come to the altar and shake his hand. Hundreds of young people hit the sawdust trail and came forward. When more than a dozen soldiers from Ft. Benjamin Harrison came forward, the audience broke out with cheers. “If heaveji Is no better than this I will be satisfied,” said the evangelist as he grasped the hands of the soldiers. A 70-year-old man was led forward by a personal worker of the campaign. A little girl came forward and asked for her “daddy.” “Father, you are a doctor. Come forward and Join your daughter," pleaded Gipsy. In a few seconds the doctor came forward, Joined his daughter and then his wife came to the front and took her place beside her husband and her daughter while the audience cheered and the evangelist prayed. Ice Box Burglars Given SIOO Fine and 180 Days John Abanathy, negro, north side ice box burglar. was found guilty of charges of petit larceny and wns fined SIOO and costs and sentenced to terve 18*J days on the Indiana State Farm by Judge Walter Pritchard in city court yesterday afternoon.

NEGRO ACTED AS DOG^SEASONER’ (Continued From Page On*.) went operations there recovered. He called one dog out aDd said: “This dog has undergone an operation that no human being ever underwent and yon see how lively he is." Dr. Gatch. in a statement made to Lieutenant Houston of the police department and others, said that there were no experiments conducted on dogs at the Burgery, but that they were used solely for the purpose of lustructlng the students. The statement of the attendant that the dog had undergone an operation such as no human being has ever undergone Is at variance with this statement and tends to support a rumor of a recent “most remarkable experiment" in which it was reported that a dog’s stomach was removed and replaced in an unnatural position and the dog lived. The disclosure that a protest was lodged with Dean Emerson more than a year ago against the treatment of the dogs is the direct result of the recent failure of the “humane officers" whose work appears to have fallen under the direction of Dr. C. A. Pfafflln to take any Interest in the college’s treatment of dog*. HE’S ONE AND THE SAM E DR PFAFFLIN. Dr. Pfafflln, who, through somo mlsarrangement of the affairs of the Indianapolis Humane Society, appears to be able to block an investigation of cruelty to animals by the "humane officers,” Is the same Dr. Pfafflln who boasted of having been Invited by the Kaiser's government to take charge of a German hospital at the opening of the war. It Is said to have bsen largely through file influence that action against tho college by the Humane Society was blocked more than a year ago when complaint wns made that dogs were being cruelly treated at the college. Persons Interested In these complaints are snld to have laid them directly before Dean Emerson and to have received his personal assurance that the operations on dogs would be so conducted at the college as to preclude any possibility of complaint from any one who understood their purpose*. Prior to that time It Is understood dogs were received by the college from the city dog pound, but since then arrangements have been made at the pound by which the Humane Society finds homes for friendless dogs that can be saved and humanely destroys tk-so that are not fit to become home pets. ACTION AT DOG POUND UKFLOTED AT COLLEGE. The refusal of the authorities at th# dog pound to give the college dogs for use in the laboratory Is said to have created a market for dog# at the college which has apparently been met by persons more Intent on the financial benefits than an observanc eof law In procuring them. Considerable dissatisfaction was expressed when the college was obtaining dogs from the pound because the better class of dogs only were desired by the college for Its use. The peculiar circumstances surrounding the recovery by Judge Walter Pritchard of bis airedale, have given rise to the suspicion that the dog was cached sorafe place awaiting eventual transportation to the college. Following publication of the story concerning the loss of "Jerry” a man, who refused to reveal hi* identity, phoned the Judge that he had “Jerry" and would return him. The next morning “Jerry” was on the porch at the Judge’s home. PRACTICE CONDEMNED IN 2 MORE LETTERS Editor The Indiana Daily Times: I’ve read your letter to llttt# Vernon Robinson in last night’s paper about his little lost dog. I, myself, lost a dog about four years ngo, and my heart never quit bleeding for biro to this day. It is an awful thing to lose a pet. Please expose tba negro that steals those dogs and perhaps he will meet with something he won’t like. A dog is the best friend man ever had or ever will have, and indeed people that don't care for the suffering of animals have something wrong with their make-up, and God one day will bring them to an account. A READER. Indianapolis, Ind. To the Editor of the Times: It Is surely a great satisfaction and a relief to know the horrors of vivisection are at last being uncovered, and I am so grateful to know we have one newspaper that isn’t afraid to publish such fact* of brutality. The Times Is to be commended for such a fine sense of humane work for our dumb animals and I know this is only the beginning of the cleaning out of cruel, useless experimentation. This Is in reference to investigations being carried on In the medical college. Let us keep up the good work. Thanking the Times so much for Us courage and kind feeling, I am Sin. -rely, HELEN KRULL BROWN. 544 East Nineteenth St.
