APPEAL TO CHRISTIANS.
Urged to Fast and Pray in View of
the Great Political Crisis.

CHICAGO, Sept. Plat a union meeting
denominations to-day, which called by
d. L. Moody, and which completely filed
the Central Auditorium, the suggestion
was made that in view of the present po-
utical and industrial crisis, it would be
desirable to have a day of humiliation and
prayer throughout the whole Nation. The
suggestion so manifestly reflected the feel
ings of all present that the following call
to the Christian patriots OF the Nation
was at once proposed and unanimously
adopted by a rising vote:
ITO the Christian Citizens of the United States;
We in common with a large number of
our fellow-citiZens of every religious and
political creed. believe that our Nation Is
in the throes of a great conflict portend-
ing the most serious consequences unless
there be the merciful interpoSitlon or the
divine hand. We believe this to be true
independently of any settlement of the
present presidential contest, one way or
another. On the one hand that mysterious
factor known public confidence is de-
Ginning as illustrated by the depression in
both financial and industrial circles. while
on the other. political. class and even Sec
tional feeling is running unusually high
and likely to become intenSer as the day of
election draws near.
Not only is 1t true that questions requir-
ing the most careful and dispassionate con-
siderations are very likely TO be deter
ined in many instances in the heat of pas
sion. but. after their determination. the re-
suits may prove baneful over a wide sur
face and for d heightened period. We would
not view the situation. perpexing and fore
boding as 1t is. outside of its relation to

the mind of God. We believe in His pres
ence and agency among US. He is the gov
ernor among the nations and will be en-
treated of His people. But we believe this
to be a time for Christian patriots to fol-
low the example of our forefatherS in ear
lier crises which have confronted us and
pray unitedly to Him that keepth cove
nant and mercy for them that love Him
and keep His commandments, that He
would visit US with special grace.
I'VE, therefore, affectionately invite and
earnestly urge our Christian fellow-citiZens
throughout the length and breadth of our
land, irrespective of UNCONVENTIONAL or po-
ilLlCsl aTrihattouS. tc Join with US in OBJ
serving Thursday Oct. s. as day of fast
ing, confession and prayer to Almighty
God, that He will allay passion and re-
strain evil among US; that he will
strengthen faith and inspire hopei that He
will impart wisdom and bestow patience,
and that He will forgive our iniquites as
Nation and grant us His salvation. We
would further respectful recommend that
in addition to the gath gs held in the
usual places of worship 1at day union
meetings be arranged fG the afternoon
or evening where all m. come together
to unite their hearts and voices in what
we are persuaded is a common cause"

Been Pounded Into Jelly.

NEW YORK, Sept 21.-Steve ODonnell
defeated Frank Slavin in the fifth round
at the Empire Athletic Club in Maspeth,
L. l., tonight. They met for a twenty
round bout. Slavin was 2-to-1 favorite at
first. but a rumor that he had injured
himself while punching the bag, these. odds
dropped and there was fair betting at to
in his favor. When the men entered the
ring both looked to be in good condition,
and each weighed about 1S2 pounds.
Round 1-Slavn led off with his right on
the body. Both exchanged lefts on the
neck then clinched. Slavin landed his left
or the body and ODonnell sent straight
left on the face. Both men then roughed
it and fought wildly. O'Donnen assumed
the aggressive and landed his left twice
in quick succession on the face. Then they
exchanged lefts on face, and in breaking
away O'Donnell hit Slavin a hard
punch on the back, which staggered
him. O'Donnell again sent his left twice
to the face and had the better of the round
at the call of time.
Round 2-Slavn was very awkward and
O'Donnell got in his left and right on the
head. Both men fought rapidly, exchang-
ing punches on the head and body. hard
right from ODonneH made blood flow from
Slavin's nose.
Round 3-Slavin led off with his left on
the face and both clinched. Slavin landed
his left on the neck and right on the head
O'Donnell jabbed his left the face. They
exchanged lefts the face and clinched
When they broke O'Donnell came back
quickly with straight lefts on the face
without a return.
Round LSlavin opened with a hard left
on the face. He then went at O'Donnell
in wild fashion and the fighting was of
the gfve-and-take order ODonnen then
sent his right over on the jaw and Slaven
backed into his corner. O'Donnel smashed
him right and left and the bell just saved
a knock out.
Round 5-O'Donnell went at his in
slam-bang fashion, raining blows the
head and neck. Slavin fed painfully around
the ring and Paddy German, his second,
jumped through the ropes to take him out.
but the referee warned him back. German
then said: Frank is dead; there is no
in his going on any longer" In the mean
time O Donnell kept hammering away with
both fists and he soon had Slavins face
pounded into a jelly. Two heavy rights on
the head and left on the neck sent Slavin
against the ropes in helpless condition,
and then the referee pulled the men apart
and stopped the contest after the fifth
round had lasted one minute and thirty
five seconds.
