HELD Jjili These Take Place in Two of the City's Leading Churches. PALM SUNDAY DULY OBSERVED I Rev. Sliannon, the Irish Evangelist, Talks Before Baptists Bev. Sharp's Scathing Sermon. Palm Sunday was duly observed in the Catholic churches and-Episcopal and Lutheran churches. At most of these places there was the usual dlstribution of palms and in many cases there was the reading of the lesson of the Savior, At tw0 of the churches there were red hot revivals in progress. There are the Baptist and Christian churches The Irish Evangelist arrived here Saturdar n,bt ahd made his flrst hit at the evening service . in the Baptist church. Sunday morning the choir was a little late, but at time to begin Shannon started off right on the dot. Mr. Shannon said: "If you people want to toot a horn you had better get a pay day move on you.

W. Bump, the chorister moved back a pace and the young ladles of the choir drew in their feet. Shannon's hot shot included a few remarks like the following: Some people don't like sensation. I like sensation better than stagnation I would rather ride in a band wagon to a sheep's head You're not a Christian because you go to church, every Sunday; you might go to a show every day but' that wouldn't make you a monli monkey. At the Christian Church. In dealing with sins among church members last night the Rev. C. J Sharp of the Christian church hit right and left, He went after his congre gation and the congregations of other churches rough-shod, giving quarter to none ne nam some neiicate comniiments to the "No account member." and laid down a few Ecarcastic rules to govern the conduct of such. Here are, a few of the epigrams with wjjilch the congregation was raked fore and aft, it having" been explained how ever, that the remarks meant no more for the Christian church members, than for the members of other churches who answered the description. "One kind of 'no account church member' is the sore church member. My finger may be a member of my hand, but it is a no account member as "Sw".",,, ! The 'nothing doing church member Is a no account member. Talk about the army of the unemployed Just read the church rolls, the roster of God's army and see what you come across.' "God wants to use you to save sin cursed old Hammond, but how can He take you into partnership with Him with a bible In one hand and a deck of cards in the other?" 'How can you sing 'Come to Jesus to a doctor or a grocer or a merchant or a landlord whom you have beat out of a Just bill by forgetting It I Following Is a set of rules for the i no account member: I Don't sing; you might break your r face Find fault with the service but don't take any part If you see a stranger be sure to not shake hands. He might be encouraged to come again. Just give him the frosty mit and the Klondike stare and tramp on his toes in your mad rush for the door, Every time you see the pastor be sure to say something cute and cutting about his having not called on you latoiv.

What' me use ior me cnurcn 10 pay ia non est' bills? Carefully and cheerfully follow these rules and you will be a perfect sue cess as a "no account church member' and one of the most useful hands th devil has In town. One convert came forward in re sponse . of the invitation, making twenty-nine additions to the church in the last nine Sundays. The subject for next Sunday evening Is, "Hypocrites Who Have Not Yet Joined the Church." Rev. Smith at St. Paul's. J Rev. C A. Smith at St. Paul's Epis cPal church gave a sermon appro Palate to the day. He spoke of the flrst Palm Sunday when Christ entered Jerusalem and of the reception he was given by the populace. He told of those who welcomed him with glad Hosanas and of the chief priests who looked upon him with hatred, while the Roman soldiers regarded him and his coming and the cause he represented, with indifference. The rector applied the situation to the Christians of the present day, when the circumstances were exactly similar in spirit If not In the manifestation thereof.

The Hammond woman, who ever she is, had spent it and fearing to bring the purse back to this city, left it in the store. It Is possible that the thief may be apprehended, but Miss Culinine, who took her loss bravely, is not counting on that and she is even charitable enough to admit that she would not prosecute the woman if the money is only returned to her.
