Tho Rev. W. A. walllng of Delaware
Avenue Baptist Church preached last night
on rs the Young Nan Safe?" His text
was Samuel ., IS. p. As an introduction
he told the story from which the text Is
taken.
Mr.. Wailing said in part: Many fathers
and mothers In this rity tonight are cry
ing aloud for the safety of their boys. He
said that there were four things which II a
young man does render him unsafe. First.
he Is not safe II he drinks. Some say that
that subject should BID let alone; that mem
bers Of your church drink, | know that
The man who drinks is standing at the
door Of hell. Sometimes the door is gar
nished over and a ypung woman acts as
bar maid. which role she plays in her
home while a young man is calling on her
The preacher then spike of some firms and
corporations that would not employ drink
ing men and gave several Illustrations.
Continuing, he said in the second place
n young man Is not safe IL he CANDLES.
do not mean horse races. but that gam
bling which is creeping into games and
pastimes. This smal sin soon lays hold
of the vital parts of a mans moral nature.
The habit OF gambling makes men laugh
at death, blunts thtir heart and con-
science. Walpole tells of a gambler falling
In a fit and his fellow gamblers betting on
his chances OF recovery. They refused to
let the doctor administer medicine for fear
Of losing their bets.
Thirdly, a man is not safe II he is
bum" because "buns" are "incarnate
flends, vultures Of he'll" They rob Gods
time. They live to have fun in the
morning, afternoon and night. They are
slaves to self. Such men seek out clubs,
tlme-killing institutions. Clubs are good
for nothing except to get men away from
the church and home don't mean the
Y. NJ. c. A. These clubs should be wiped
out, for life is more than play ground.
A young man is not safe who neglscts
his private deyotlons, No man Is safe un-
less he plants his knees down on the floor
and burying his heai in his blankets prays
In secret to Him who hears all things. To
be safe the young man should put on the
ariuor of God.

Rev. W. Ii. Hendriokson preached in
Mt. Lebanon NJ. L. Church at RockIand on
Sunday morning. to an appreoiatIve con-
RIegation. The Rev. MIR. ,Sypherd inn
proved the condition of tho church very
greatly the past year, his salary has beon
paid. and the collection for other pur-
poses have been quite liberal. some s7S
on rent OF parsonage ls still due. As AIr.
Sypherd does not intend to return for
another year 1t has been suggested that
the Conference or Bishop should not
make an appointment for this charge. but
leave :the Presiding Elder to appoint or
select a supply,
II this should be done no better man
could be- selected than Mr.. Hendrickeon,
who would need only a nominal salary.
and as he Is highly popular he could In the
course OF a year or two Increase the mem-
bership 30 greatly that it would be q much
more desirable appointment tnan 1t has
been for number OF years 1t was so
neurly run down under the administration
OF keys. Mr.. Sanderson and Smith that It
became almost nonenlty, when Mr.. Hen.
erickson was called In. and through his
efforts 1t became fairly prosperous. Tue
presiding elder should acquaint hlms,lf
with the facts and determine whether re-
newed prospellty Ia not more Important
than the mere tiHiing OF place for soma
one. who. like a barnaole. has fastened
himself on the Conference.
