Rev. n. c. Naylor Talks on This

The assembly room Of the Young Mems

n. Mayor, pastor of the MarylandAvenue
Baptist Church, who chose as his subject,
danger and Defense He deiIverea an
earnest eXhortation.
He based his remarks on the words of
Solomon MY son, If sinners intice thee,
consent thou not He laid great stress on
the danger lying in the fact that sinners
chose rather to entice than to command or
coerce those whom they would lead astray.
Mr. Naylor warned his hearers against
the influences Of evil thoughts which rob
men of their moral beauty, and of evil
men whose influences are disastrous to
purity Of life He spoke of the dangers
existing, under the lurements of evil wo-
men, and cntreated his audience to avoid
the paths Of her whose influences are deadly
to virtue and nobility. Evil association was
characterized as cunning artificer in
leading men astray. He briefly sketched
the dangers which he claimed existed in
the theater, the club, the saloon, and the
dance hall.

mands the repeal of the law establishing

Evangelist w. A Cuddy addressed the
meeting on Government chaplaincieS in
furious to Christianity
Mr.. Cuddy asked, Are government chap

said, Il am representing no creed, but am

to my God and the country. My first mo-
tive is to uplift the cause of Christ, ana
secondfy,to do justice to my fellow man.
l may say that on IN any points I am in
sympathy with the Secular League.
In looking up statistics on the subject
I find that each religious sect is supposed
to be accorded two chaplains in the Army
and Navy. But this is story made out OF
the whole cloth. There are 1O6 re-
lgious sects in America today. How many
of them do you suppose are m1nisterially
represented in the Army and Navy? Only
six. And the wonderful part OF the whole
proceeding is that the Catholics, which are

OF the law makers in letiSlating for The

to the repeal of all the Sunday observance

ance of his better half So TO rid her
self OF tile annoyance and any possible
trouble. she locked him in the basement,
which is used as q Storeroom for oysters
A friend of Robinson named Stewart hap
pened along about that time and hearing
him calling for help stopped to learn the
trouble. He soon learned the situation,
both from Robinson and his wife, who
was at an upstairs window, enjoying.
Williams discomfoture. Stewart ap-
pealed to Mrs Robinson to release her
husband. whereupon she threw down what
she said was the key TO the door. Stewart
made several attempts to unlock the door
but without success.
1t should be stated, however, that Stewart
was considerably the worse for liquor
himself, and, although it was not clearly
proven there was considerable doubt in
the minds of the crowd which had col
lected, whether Mrs Robinson had thrown
down the right key Robinson, in the
meantime was getting weary of his inn
prisonment, and after making several
pathetic appeals TO his darling" and
''hUuey'' he put his head to work as a
battering ram to break down the door.
Only one trial was necessary. With a
terrific rush across the room, and the
warning, I'm coming" Robinsons head
and shoulders crashed through the door.
Tile panelling was weak, but was hard
enough 10 cut an ugly cash over his left
eve where his head came in contact with 1T.
When last seen. Robinson was nursing
his wound and trying to convince his wife
that it was very queer that she cid not
know the key to her own house.

which the London Daily Telegraph sug-

Mr.. Bayard takes the ground that his

This is in accord with the views which
the State Department held of Mr.. Bayard's
