CHARACTER IS REST ASSET MAN CAN HAVE

J! MEEDS NO EPITAPH -r- IT IS A BENEDICTION The text: "I find no fault In Him." John, 19th chapter, 4th verse." In his sermon, "Pilate verses Jesus," on Wednesday night, Rev. W. A. Sun- " day said: . Borne things must be faultless In order to ber valuable. The value of a diamond depends on its quality, not - its quantity.. When I wa3 in New . York I went down to Tiffany's and Mr. Kerr showed m through. I picked up the famous Tiffany dia- ; mond and said, "How much is that worth ?"- . "One hundred thousand dollars." . I picked up another little one, and said. "How much Is that worth?" "Fifty thousand dollars." I picked up a rope of pearls, "How much is thi3 worth?" "Two hundred thousand .dollars." I picked up a string of black pearls that they find over in southern California. "How much i3 that worth?" - "Eighty-five thousand dollars."

" I picked up a little pigeon bloodiyear3 or age, had av ruby, two carats. "How much is that j neard them talking.

worth?" "Five thousand dollars." One of the most valuable stones in the . world, as well as the rarest, Is the pigeon blood ruby. Only ten per cent of the diamonds on the market are what they call first-class or firstwater. They are either a little off in color, size or shape, or have a flaw that reduces the value of them. To be Perfect is High Ideal We have a pure food law which says that nothing adulterated shall be In the composition of the food, because that . would Jeopardize our health. A horse, to be valuable, must be without a flaw. If he kicks or runs away, has the heaves, is blind, or epizootic, he is not valuable. Those are flaws. A picture, to be a masterpiece, must be flawless. With a flaw. Its value is reduced. Character: A man may be known by five things. First, his character, what he is. Second, his conversation, what he says. Third, his conduct, what he does. Fourth, his contribu tions, what he gives. Fifth, his creed, ( wnat ne Believes, i Love is the greatest thing In the world. Character is the grandest. It will remain when all things else are taken away. you can't lose character. . It will stay when money is gone. It will stay when your friends are forsaking you. You can't burn up character. You can burn up money, you can burn your house, You can burn your clothes, but you can't burn up your character. It won't blow away. It can't be lost. You.. can't buy character. A reputation may be lost in one act of your life. - You can lose a reputation that has taken you a lifetime to build up. : ' , , . .Character, needs no epitaph on It3 tombstone; , You may bury a man and his character will beat the hearse back from ... the cemetery. He will walk the streets long after his name has been obliterated by time from the tombstone. There are men that lived in this city years and years ago you have forgotten ther names, but they are still living, either re-j produced in a benediction or a curse.! Character . has to be flawless; and I bring before you Jesus Christ. Canj you find any fault in him? He claimed to be the Son of God, and can you prove that that claim was false? AH right, all right, I challenge you. Con you find any flaw in that claim? Didn't He talk like the Son of God should have talked? And' didn't He talk like you would if you had been the Son of God? Did He say anything that you wouldn't have said if you had been the Son of God instead of Him? . Son of God Was Flawless. Did any words that are - recorded that He spoke show that He had no right to say what He said or do what He did? Can you find any utterances that are out of place in the Son of God. Don't your own heart say that every word Jesus unrist saia was true? He declared God to be what, every true heart wants God to be. He declared that God loves men and that He was willing to forgive men if they had gone astray and if they would repent. Can you find any fault with that? Isn't that what you feel that God must be in order to be God? Years ago, in a western town, a man came and rapped on my door at 2 o'clock in the morning. I opened it. I said, "What's the matter?" He said, "I am sick." "I will call a physician," I told him. "Don't you do It" he said. "It isn't a physical disease, he can't help me." I said, "What is it?"' He said, "You wouldn't respect me if I told you." I said, "I wouldn't respect you if you didn't." "Suppose I tell you it -is different from what you imagine," he said. I said. "If you tell me because you are sorry and want my help, I will gladly give it to you." He said, "I ve got to go Home ana confess to my wife that I have been false to my marriage vows." I told him, "God pity you, I don't wonder at your grief, neither do I envy your feelings." Knew His Family Well. Now, I knew the family well. She was a high-strung woman and they were a mighty fine class of people, and I will do anything on God's dirt to keep a man and his wife from separating or bring them back again if they are separated. I will do anything in the world, and I'd keep anything away from anybody that's not anybody else's business, too. I knew his wife, and I said I was going to lead the meeting on Sunday night I said. "I will go home with you if you will wait." And he said, "All right" He came around in the afternoon and said. "I can't I think I will die unless I go home and confess it and I am afraid that somebody might tell about it and that would, make it worse." - Then I said to a friend of mine, "Weilr you .go with him, and don't let your eye get off of him because he might go out aud commit suicide." And so they reached town about 12:30 at night and they went up Md-rang the - door - bell. - - His wif 3 ;

ON ITS TOMBSTONE; TO WHOLE COMMUNITY

raised the window and said, "Who is it? I wasn't expecting you before Monday or Tuesday" He said, "I had to come home. I am so sick. No you can't do anvthine" She said, "I will call ud father." Finally he told her. Why, the love emed to flee from her hearts Rh seemed to flee from her heart. She said, "Out of my house, out of my heart, and out of my memory!" He said, "Afe you a Christian?" She said, "I hope I am a Christian." Finally Arouses Conscience. "Has God ever had occasion to forgive you for anything?" "Not for anything like that" He said, "But God counts your relationship with me at the marriage altar and a relatlonshin."

He said, "I am married to you and;d him?

ne counts your faithlessness to me the eame as fornication." He talked and reasoned with her. and finally their little girl, about 2 years or age, had awakened and she As she stood at ine bead of the stairs, clothed in a white silk nightie, she looked like an angel dropped from the throw of God. He bounded up the stairs and threw his arms about her, kissed her as he carried her through the rooms, and he said, "What a sin a man has to commit to drive him from his home." He put "the little one down and opened the door and said, "Good night, Araelle." And as if from a sepulchre she said, "Wait let me think." She fell on her knee3 and sobbed and prayed and 6he Jumped to ter feet brushed the tears from her eyes and said, "You must have been sorry or you wouldn't have come home and told me what I didn't know, ana wnat i might have never known, and since you have promised to bo true, I will forgive you." They rushed to each other's arms. and he laid his head upon her breast ana Heard the beatinz of that out raged heart a picture of the love of uoa. And I can take you to a home tonight that's as noble and clean and true as any home beneath the stars and stripes. No matter what you have done, God says, "All I am waiting for you to do is to express your sorrow for that sin, and forgiveness, full, free and 'perfect and eternal is yours.1 And every word shows that God is good and God is merciful and patient and God is forbearing; and there Is not a word said about God's anxiety to punish; he wants to make us all good. Can you find any fault with that? Do you object to the physician who wants to make you well?" Well, do you object to anybody that wants to do something that will make you tell the truth instead of a lie? Do you object to anybody that wants you to be sober instead of drunk? No Reason Why Man Should Refuse. Why does a man refuse to be a Christian and receive God? God has no pleasure in the death of the wicked. God knows that if a man dies a sinner, he will be In Hell before midnight. God has no pleasure in the death of the wicked, because he knows he isn't ready to die. Not at all! God sent Jesus Into the world, not to condemn the world, the world was condemned before Jesus Christ came. He came into the world to open up a plan of redemption to save the world. I didn't come here to preach anything to condemn you. You were already condemned before you ever heard of me. If you came in here tonight to be saved, I am not coming here to condemn you. I am coming here to preach to you, to tell you what to do to be saved. You came in here condemned, you may go out without condemnation. Jesus didn't come to condemn the world, he came to save. Give a man a chance to be redeemed and if God loves the world and if this world ha3 'gone Into sin, God must do something j to win it back to prove that he does I love it. If you will take the New Testament and study what Jesus eaid about the Father, you will say every word of that is true. He said, the time would come when God would wipe up this world and he'd separate the good from the bad, like the shepherd does the sheep from the goats. Well, we do that same thing. We separate the sick from the well; we separate the coal from the slag; we separate the wheat from the chaff; we separate the criminals from those that will keep the law. Saw Boys In Reformatory. I was going through a reformatory out in Illinois, in Pontiac, and I saw boys there the laws of Illinois take boys 10 years old. If a child is 10 years of age, they will take him and confine him in the reformatory! I saw about 200 boys in there from 10 years up to 14 and 15 years of age, and it seems to me as if the State of Illinois, by exercising its sovereign power in penning these boy3 up with hardened criminals, was doing all in its power to prevent those boys from ever becoming decent or having a dacent thought I never wanted to be governor of Illinois so badly in my life as I did to turn the key and send those 200 boys back home to their mothers and out of that institution, for if they stayed with those hardened criminals they never would succeed when they get out in the world. God, we all know, could not be God and pen the good and bad up in the same place. Heaven wouldn't remain Heaven at all. This earth would be Heaven if there was no sin here, and this earth would be Hell if there was no Christianity here. This old earth is neither Heaven nor hell because it has some good and some bad in it. If it was all good, it would be Heaven, and if it was all bad, It would be Hell, so the only thing that makes it decent to live in is due to the religion of Jesus Christ. If Jesus Christ had said that God wouldn't or couldn't shut the good and bad In the same place, that would have been enough to convince me that he was a fraud, that he wasn't the Son of God. Can you find any fault with his condition? v Christ Did Noble Deeds. Can you find anything In anything that Jesus did that was dishonoring to God, anything that he said or any-

thing that he did? Can you put youyjhe cut-across lots and when he got

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN

finger on anything that was out of place? I challenge you to do it What did Jesus Christ ever do that wasn't for the benefit of human beings?" What has Jesus Christ ever asked you to do that wasn't for your good? What did you ever refuse to do that God wanted you to do that you werent a rooi ror refusing? God don't want you to do anything that isn't for your betterment. So if you want the best there is, God has it waiting for you, And did Jesus Christ ever lntnr i anybody In thought or AeeM iMn i Did Jesus ever lie? Dirt h w deceive anybody? No! Did he ever misrepresent? Vr! rM ha That's all wool," when It was half - - v.t v i i.i oaj cotton No! Did he ever say it was imported when it was made in Chicago? No! Did he ever raise a finger against anything that was good? No! Do you think that If Jesus Christ lived In this city he would stay here for five weeks and not poke his head around this tabernacle? No! Did Jesus ever turn his backon anybody that was in trouble? No! Did he ever refuse to help anybody that asked him? No! No! And wherever ne went lives were made happier,, men ana women were made purer. Can you find any fault with that, in the transforming power of God? Over in the trenches of France, was a French soldier named Maurice. The Y. M. C. A. was distributing little testaments of John printed in French. He got it somebody had found it and threw it away. Maurice found it one day In the mud under his feet in the trenches. He picked it up and he read it. Signs His Name to Card. In the back part of It was a place where it said "I accept Jesus Christ as my savior." He read this gospel of John. It was" the first time he had ever seen it and he signed his name in there. Maurice had a cousin In the trenches named Jacques, an infidel, and on his day off, he came to visit Maurice and when he came in he said, "Maurice, what's the matter with you?" Your face shines eo." He said, "I found Jesus Christ" Maurice said, T found Christ and here's where I found him." He handed Jacques this little testament. "Here'3 where I found him." And , Jacques read it and was converted. He said, "I could answer all arguments about God, all arguments about Hrven, all arguments about Hell to my own satisfaction, but I couldn't answer the argument of the bright cheerful look in his face." And wherever it goes. I sav it make3 lives brighter and shines this old world up and he said that God loved everybody and he went about trying to show that that was true. He cured the sick. He opened the eyes of the blind. He unstopped the ears of the deaf. He raised the dead. He cleansed the leper. He helped everybody that asked him and he helped a good many that didn't ask him, and he never sent anybody away with a heavy heart The only one that ever went away with a sorrowful heart wa3 the rich young ruler, and if you go away with a sorrowful heart, it is your own fault, not Christ's. If you will let him help you, you will be Joyful. This young fellow thought he had so much that he could get along without Jesus. Christ Taught Life's Message. Jesus never attended a funeral. He never followed anybody1 to the grave. He never preached a funeral sermon. That was out of his line. He came that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly. The man that's sober has life more abundantly than the drunkard. The man that's honest has life mora abundantly than the thief. The man that's virtuous has life more abuntantly than the man living in vice.. The one that believes in Christ has life more abundantly than the infidel, who doesn't believe in Christ. Moody was one time asked to preach a funeral sermon, and he looked into the Bible to find out what Jesus said and did at a funeral that he might have a standard to go by, and he found out to his surprise and delight that Jesus Christ broke up every funeral that he ever attended by raising the dead. He turned the house of sorrow into joy, tears into laughter. Can you find any fault with that? "I find no fault in Him." Don't you wish bed come to your house before the hearse had called? Don't you wish he'd have come when the coffin was there and raised the dead, put your loved one back in your arms? "I find no fault In Him". What are you in favor of that Jesus is against? Do you consider yourself honorable and decent to favor what Christ is against? Do you think you ought to be respected by decent people when you are In favor of everything that Jesus Christ is against? No, sir! I don't. I think you forfeit the right there. whether you are a millionaire or a hobo Right there! Now, Jesus Christ 13 against all wrong. Jesus Christ is against it. Has anybody cheated or defrauded you? Jesus Christ is against it. Has anybody lied about you? Jesus Christ is against it Are you in favor of honesty? So is Jesus. Are you in favor of purity? So 13 Jesus. Do you believe that every man ought to have a fair equivalent in return for the brain or muscle that he gives in working? So does Jesus. Do you believe that every em ployer ought to pay honest wages to every employe? bo aoesesus. Should Be Honest In Work. Do you believe that every working man ought to give honest, square work for the wages he is paid? So does Jesus. Do you believe that cap ital ougnt to give labor a square deal? So does Jesus. Do you believe that labor ought to give capital a square deal? So does Jesus. Do you believe there ought to be 36 Inches in every yard? So doe3 Jesus. Do you believe there ought to be four pecks in every bushel. So does Jesus. Do you believe there ought to be 12 inches in every foot? So does Jesus. Do you believe there ought to be 2,000 pounds in every ton? So does Jesus. A hundred cents in every dollar? So does Jesus. Jesus is against all crookedness. Are you? Jesus is against all vice. Are you? Jesus is against all dis honesty. Are you? Jesus is against everything where men feed and fatten and gormandize upon the misfortunes and sins of others. Jesus Christ never dealt in generalities. Jesus Christ never went around Robin Hood's barn to get a point; invariably

there, nobody had any doubt who hef meant or what he meant j If Jesus Christ should become pas-1 tor of one of the leading churches in i wa DUCUUI, IU mem as he did to the treacherous Jerusalem set in the temple, I wonder how long he'd hold his iob. I think some i of these elders would be pulling their long wnisicers. Then the prudential committee would get on their high hocse, and the vestrymen would hit the celling. Then the stewards that are always making a muss out of the stew; and the church dignitaries that are digging for the devil would kick. Take his rebuke, my friends, to the Jerusalem crowd and see if he was always the weak, two-by-four, three-carat, sissified Jesus that a lot of people are always trying to picture him. "I find no fault in him." Can you find any fault with what hi3 teaching has done for the world? Wherever his teaching ha3 been accepted and believed, it has made the desert blossom as the rose. Homes have been made sober. Tears have been dried on the cheeks. Mothers have ben able to sleep. Is Supreme Old libertines have been made pure. Blasphemers have been made to pray. Girls that sold their womanhood now go home with tears of repentance coursing down their cheeks. Men have been made true to their wives and employers true to those that toil. Before Jesus Christ came, there wasn't a hospital on earth. There wasn't an asylum on earth,- .. .There wasn't a home for the aged or the In. firm, or for the boys and Qirls. His teachings have planted them, until today, they are as thick as the sands on the seashore. That's what Jesus Christ did and is doing for the world. "I find no fault in him." Before Jesus came, woman was a slave. She was looked upon as a divine nrerosa tive, as something having no soul. Today, the respect and honor that is paid to womanhood 13 due to the restrain ing influence of Jesus Christ. I think you are an ungrateful wretch if you refuse to arise and put the crown upon tho brow of him that has brought such wonderful blessings to womanhood and to you as a woman in the world ; and he has come to help all that need it. A father and son were in the same company, and at the close of the battle of Franklin, when the roll was called the son was missing. The father went out, stumbling over the dead and dying, calling John Harkman, John Harkmari!" Hears His Son's Voice Away in the distance he heard a faint voice. At last he stopped beside his son. He dragged him back to the hospital. There he wa3 nursed back to health and strength. Jesus Christ's mission on earth was to bind up the broken heart and help those that needed it. "I find no fault in him." Do you find any fault with his peace? "My peace," he said, "I leave with you." Some men, when they die, leave their land to their children. Other men, when they die, leave a bad character to their children. And others, when they die, bequeath weak, anemic bodies to their children. Still others, when they die, bequeath idiotic minds to their children, and others bequeath to their chidren tainted blood, but Jesus said, "My peace, I leave with you." I will give you something better than that. Some people, my friends, couldn't wear any longer faces than they do, if they were dead sure that God was dead. When they smile, why, they do it in a way that makes you think it hurts them and you are glad when they quit Some people are praying for the Lord to use them. You ought to pray God to help you stop looking sour, for God can't use you with a map like that If Paul and Silas had gone to Jail looking as sour as some folks do when they come to the tabernacle, that Philippian jailer wouldn't have been converted yet. No, it is a great mistake to think that God wants you to look solemn, when you put on your Sunday clothes and start for church no, no! He said if you will accept him, you will be saved. That was his mission in the world. PRESBYTERIAN 'Continued from preceding page) pent up energy, on the very edge of me piatrorm, Sunday thundered at the church members who were in op position to tne revival campaign. "Did you find that Christ ever did anytning wrong? "No, No," he shouted, "Then why do you cnurcn members oppose this campaign, and in the four week3 that it has been going on never darkened tne aoors of this tabernacle. Why they are so low down that I wouldn't spit on them." "And then when all of the things worth while in this world are a tp. suit or Christianity, and the life of j Christ, you are a black hearted ingrate for not doing everything you can to forward his cause." RELIGION (Continued from Preceding Page) something that maybe you will use in a sermon. Come down. I wont' be so insistent, but I know it will do you good." Move Over to Auditorium My friend kind of stalled around, and the Bishop kept hurying him and finally he had a cup of tea, and they strolled over under protest to the auditorium, and there the crowd was very large. There on the platform stood Dr. Smoker, and what was he talking about? He was talking about a Gila monster. That's this monster that lives on the plains of Arizona and New Mexico. He was talking about the Gila poisons, and the horned owl, and an opposum and rat and if you can find more unattractive things to talk about, I wish you'd tell me what they are. If you had asked me to add one more, I would have put in a pole-cat But there he 6tood, and he was talking about their characteristics, and their habits, and their love, and their care for their young, and many things that nobody would know unless they had made an intense and close observation of long years of study, and the audience would cry and show their sympathy when he told of their affection for their young. He found " himself leaning forward and then waving his handkerchief and giving him a Chautauqua salute and then wiDing the tears from his eyes. He said he never enjoyed an hour

Shavings From the Tabernacle Sawdust Trail

BOOSTS GLEE CLUB "I hope that you will get out for the Pittsburg Theological Seminary Glee club when they are here Friday afternoon." said Rev. Sunday Wednesday evening. "I have gotten used to a small audience in the afternoon since I have been here, but the glee club should have a turn out WEST SIDE NIGHT Next Tuesday night is to be "West Side Night." "The west side has not been reached by this campaign," declared Charles Woodman, pastor of the West Richmond Friends meeting, who is in charge of the arrangements for the special night, and we want to take our part in the revival." Plans at present outlined include the distribution of special tickets to every one on the west side who can be reached through a church, Sunday school or store, so that all of the west side residents will be able to sit together in a reserved section. REV. RAY PRAYS Dr. J. J. Rae gave the prayer for the "trail hitters" at the service Wednesday night BUSY TIME AHEAD Mrs. William Asher has a busy time ahead of her for the rest of the week. Friday noon she addresses the girls at the Indianapolis Glove company. At 3.30 she speaks at New Paris before the Thimble club of the Presbyterian church, a missionary club, and at 5:30 she will talk to the girls at Vigran's Ladies' shop. On Saturday, if plans go well, she will be at the Old Ladies' Home, possibly with Mr. Rodeheaver and at 2:30 in the afternoon she will talk at the Home for the Friendless. CHORUS TO PRACTICE Friday night at 4 o'clock the children's chorus practices at the tabernacle in preparation for another appearance before a tabernacle audience. Mr. Rodeheaver has asked that all of the children possible be there. PORTLAND MEETING The meeting at Portland which Mr. Sunday is to conduct next Wednesday morning is to be under the charge of more in his life than he did sitting there listening to Profesor Smoker talk about an owl and a Gila mon ster. And I never heard of anybody who had interest in an opposum but a colored man. My friend went out and said, "If a man can talk about those things and keep a man awake, and even laughing and crying, and while I am talking about Jesus Christ, they will sit and yank and pull their watch, then I know there is something wrong with me, and I have lost my vision." Wants to Interest People In Christ If I can't interest people in my Christ, and the gospel, and if I can't interest you more in trying to get you to go to heaven than trying to keep you out of hell, I will consider that there i3 something wrong with me. I preached some years ago out in Boulder, Colorado. Have you ever been in Boulder? Oh, that's a pretty town! It is a beautiful city. It lies up about 5.000 feet high in the Rocky Mountains. I think Boulder and Colorado Springs are dandy. So I was preaching there, and theyv had there the annual picnic, where" the men from the mines all around, from the gold and silver and the lead mines, come to Boulder with their families, for their annual picnic. They have various races and entertainments. They have three-legged races and all that sort of thing and among other things they had, there was a baby show, and they asked me to serve on the committee to give the awards, and I'll be darned if I wasn't fool enough to do it! The Lord forgive me. I will never do it again. I voted to give the nrize to a red headed kid. He'd stop a street car h wSit so ugly. There wa3 a mother there, she gave me a pain. She kept saying, -on, X Know the Judges will take one look at Harold," and I have they will vote unanimously to give the little dear the prize." Nothing doing! although he was a nice looking kid. But I voted to give the prize to the red-headed kid. Men Try to Win Prize Among other things' they had was a drilling contest. They had a piece of granite Oh it weighed tons, and then the miners would come and they had drills all the way from three inches to thre fes-t long and they were stripped to their waists like men from a battleship. Great bundles of muscles would stand out like steel on them, and those husky miners would grab the drill and hold it and a man would take a 16-pound hammer and he'd pounT the drill, to start it They had a bucket and a siphon to run the drill in. And he'd pound and pound and when he got tired out he'd drop the hammer and this fellow would pick it up. They stood with their watches to see how deep they could drill into that granite in 10 minutes. Well, sir, the people stood on their seats, thev waved their hats and their coats, they 1 snrienea ana tney screamed, they took sides. I found myself picking out a couple of fellows as my favorites, and I'd say, "Go to it Jack, that's the stuff, now you are going." Why, the perspiration rolled down their faces and their backs as they pounded and they drilled 26 inches in 10 minutes. I said, "Oh. if two fellows can take drills and pound' in the granite and stir an audience of a thousand men and women until they will shriek and scream like maniacs, and when I stand up to preach about Jesus Christ, they yawn and go to sleep, I have lost my, vision! I have lost my vision! Pastors Often To Blame Many a lime the people are denied theirs because the preacher has lost his. That's why they are not catching a glimpse ofjesus Christ and his truth. Dr. Arnold of Rugby, wrote a letter to Dean Stanley saying, "If ever the day comes that I can receive a boy Into mv school without fPiinr monif swept-with feelings of emotion over the fact that the parents are willing to trust him to me to the develop v --"O UAA. ment oi nis cnaracter ana his morals, 11... t -in -i , vi T , - , ' then I will feel that I have lost my liTn iJ'L'St? 13 tim f0r me to aTtSS,m t? L t t rIght!, " time e7eT comes that I can look Into the face of an audience large or small and not be enthused and stirred to the depths of my soul; and if the time ever comes

the Ministerial association, with the following men interested: W. E. Ho-

gan, Hugh Rhonald, J. H. Temple, Mr. Knoll and Mr. Jones. BUSINESS MEN MEET "The Business Men's meptinsr la tn be held every noon at 12:30 o'clock at tne Y. M. C. A," said Fred Rapp, who is in charge of that phase of the revival work. "And every day means Monday and Saturday as well as the other days of the week." The meetings have been well organized, and will conintue to the end of the campaign. Everybody is invited to them. THREE SERMONS There are to be THREE sermons on Sunday at the tabernacle. "The ministers decided that it would be better to have union services at the tabernacle," said Rev. Sunday at the tabernacle Wednesday night, "so I 6hall preach in the morning, in the afternoon and in the evening." All of the sermons are to be open for all, the "men only" sermon3 have all been given. Original plan3 called for services in the various churches next Sunday, but the number of visitors from out of town who come to the tabernacle on Sunday morning to hear Mr. Sunday was so great as to make a union meeting desirable. that I can take the hand of a man or woman mechanically (and it enthuses me as much today to grasp the hand of a woman who is coming to give expression to the thought that she wants to live for God! and! for Christ) if the time ever comes that I can grasp their hands without a feeling of emotion sweeping through my heart and saying, "God, I thank y$u for the honor you have given me to preach your truth for the people," then I will know I have lost my vision and I will say, "I know it is time for me to quit" Refers To Great Surgeon Now, some years ago, Dr. Lorenz, the great Austrian surgeon, came to this country to operate upon J. Ogden Armour's- little girl in Chicago. She had congenital dislocation of the limb. Both of her limbs. The hip joints that's what they call a ball-and-socket joint. It fits like this. It goes down. land it is held in place by the flesh ana ligaments. This is a ball-and-socket So i3 this. This- i3 a hingeJoint So is your knee. That's a combination. So is your ankle, so is your head. t That's a ball-and-socket And so sometimes in an accident or in birth they will slip out, that ball, and form a new.place in here and you will see them as they go along there, a dislocation of the hip. Dr. Lorenz came to this country to teach what they call bloodless surgery whereby he would slip the head of the femur back in its original place and hold it there until the muscles would knit and the skin hold it in place. So he came to operate on the little girl. Armour gave him $50,000 to make her roll a hoop like other girls. Then he took her back to Vienna with a retinue of servants to keep her under his care during the period when the musclese and ligaments were re uniting.
