his young audience how great are the
risks of being able to turn to God after
mature years. The Bible is true wheth-
er 1t treats of hell or heaven. "Ye are
His workmanship" He wants to save
you and He invites you to heroic and
noble lives in His service. Whatever
mistake you make don't make the mis-
take of putting off your reconciliation
to God to after years.
At the close of the sermon DR.. Mum
hall asked those who were members of
any Christian church to rise, and it was
surprising to see the great number that
arose. Then he asked any who desired
to become Christians to rise, and scores
rose to their feet. The speaker explain
ed how easy it is to turn from sin to
God and how readily He will accept
all who turn to Him. During the exhort-
ations scores arose expressing their
willingness to accept Christ.
At the evening service the large ta-
bernacle was packed with an audience
CT $500, standing room being at pre-
MUM and a large number of people
turned away unable to get inside the
door. The evangelist spoke from Psalm
s, verses 3-4, holding the immense
audience with close attention through
out the delivery of a mastery and con-
vincing discourse. Prof. Birch with his
excellent chorus of over one hundred
voices rendered a very fine song SER

number arose for prayer.

Theosophy and Spiritualism

AT New Music hall Prof. Bowman vas-
terday discussed "Theosophy and Spir.
ltuallsm Face to Face" He said ths
meeting of these two sisters was NOT to
be hostile but friendly one. TherA
spould be no prejudice or family quarrel
between the two. Both have their vir-
tues and possibly some faults Both are
concerned with the deep mysteries of hu-
man destiny and the higher spiritual
lie. Both have abandoned the theoloei-
cal plane of mere tradition for the mill
osophlcal plane of rational investigation
Both are held as cranks and unbelieyers
by the regulars" as the worlds reform
ers have always been. Let spiritualists
remember that theosophy has treasure
of deep and transcendental wisdom-the
product of ages of spiritual and occult
research. Let theosophists remember
that spiritualism, though marred by
many crudities and follies of youth. has
much that is high and pure and true, and
that it has done more in half century
to awaken the modern civilized world to
sense of immortality, liberty ard
progress than the oriental methods of
occultism could have done in a thousand
years.

CITY COUNCIL
General Forman's Successor, to Be, Ap
pointed Today

The city council will meet this morn
ing at 10 o'clock in regular session. Tha
matter in which most interest is felt is
the selection of a police commissioner TO
fill the vacancy caused by the removal of
General Forman last week, as it is gen.
orally believed that the filling of one
vacancy may lead to another as it is
reported that Commissioner Wyman's
resignation is in the hands of President
Silver to be presented if that gentle
man thinks it should be. The fight is re-
garded as between exCouncilman
Daniel Innes and Hon. J. F. Humphreys,
with the chances in favor of the former,
unless all parties agree on Henry J..
Fleshman and he consents to take the
place
Action will also be taken on several
street Improvement and sewer jobs over
which the council has acquired juris-
diction, and there is a possibility of an
other discussion on the water question.
as the maps of the company's system
will be filed. The usual routine reports
of officers and committees will also come
up, but there is nothing of special pub

Universalist Church

The second of series Of discourses on
Natural Theology" was given at the
JJniversalist church yesterday by the
pastor, Rev. A. A. Rice from the sub
iect. Gods Goodness in Nature" In
part he said:
Nature furnishes no less evidence OF
the goodness of its maker than 1t does of
it's intelligence. There is as much sense
in saying that Gods goodness is imper-
feet because of what appear to be mala-
daptations in nature as that his knowl-
edge is shown to be finite by the imper-
feet things he has made. There is little
sense in either. We believe the evidence
of nature preponderates toward both the
infinite knowledge and goodness of God.
Neither science nor philosophy can di-
rectly solve the problem why pain is per-
mitted in the universe, but a general
argument may be made on the relation
which morality bears to power. There
is and can be ro omnipotence if morality
is wanting, for to act wrong is to be
finite, but there is much evidence of
Almighty power in the universe which is
revealed in the perfect harmony which
science traces to universal law There
fore the forces of nature are perfectly
moral forces, in other words the harmony
of the universe demonstrates the good
ness of it,

First congregational

"Now it is high time to awake out of
sleep" was the theme chosen by the
pastor, Rev. DR.. Day. yesterday.
Whatever we are doing" said the
preacher, life is slipping away. Used,
unused or misused, it rushes on! 1t is
high time to wake to the fact that every
day of delay in being or doing what we
ought is putting the weight of a lost day
against the probability that the right
step will be taken later on.
1T is high time to awake out of sleep p
when one in business or society finds
that he's of no account as a force for
Christ, because he has no definite work
as a Christian. no time to be counted as
Christian; more anxious to stand we'll
with the influential ungodly than with
the Lord Christ, when the call to duty
or the wide opening of opportunity fails
to arouse to action, and when he is so
fast asleep as not to be thrilled by the
bugle call of the Master"

CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN
DR.. Fowler on Christ's Demand for
Better Living

A large and interested congregation
heard Rev. DR.. Fowler's morning sermon
at Y. NJ. C. A. hall yesterday. The text
was Matt. XVI: so, Friend, Wherefore
Art Thou Gomez"
In brief he said: 1t is night in Jerusa-
lem and what a night! A night un-
rivaled for its scenes of sin and sorrow
its deeds of love and heroism. 1t is that
last, long, sleepless night of our Lords
betrayal and suffering. One scene in that
eventful night fills our thought this
morning. In the olive garden the earth
is baptized with bloody sweat drops and
the Savior's agony is followed by a
motley band led by ekulking pilot. AT
first subdued by his presence and his
outfiaehing might they stagger and fall
10 the ground. Judas himself, though
stricken by the unseen hand, rises with
the shamefaced throng, only to persist
in his wild and wicked design. He walks
up to his Lord and says, Hail, Master,
and kisses him. and Jesus said unto him,
Friend, wherefore art thou Gomez"
Christs appeal lay in the right he had
to expect better things from Judas and

The Annual Meeting in the New

The annual meeting of the Young
Woman'S Christian association was held
yesterday at p. m. in the new rooms,
2111a West Second street. The Scripture
lesson was read and prayer offered by
-. Kate c. Moody, after which an
effective solo was rendered by Prof. d.
II. Morrison. DR.. Chichester followed
with some very appropriate remarks
from the text: THE Lord gave the word;
great was the company of the women
that published it," emphasizing the
thought of the value and beauty of
women's services, especially when given
TO their sisters. He offered very touch
ing prayer, dedicating the new associa-
ton rooms to the work of the Master
Mrs. Bert Evans sang very sweetly
Ashamed of Jesus"
The report of the president, Mrs. 2. D.
Mathuss, was next in order. After Civ
ing brief review of the work from the
beginning she spoke of the steady de-
velopment of every department. 6urin g
the past year and of the change of Ioca-
ton.
Miss Martha E. Teal, general secre-
tary, gave a summary of the years work,
showing hrst the progress in thu phys

peasant social evenings and receptions

Some very fitting remarks were made
by Mr. Leonard Merrill, one of the trus-
tees OF the institution, asking the aud
renee 10 make up this amount, if possi-
bic. They very readily responded to the
call with a cash collection and monthly
pledges amounting to $44, when Mr. 2
