THE WAY TO REACH CHRIST
Rev. Mr.. Albritton's Sermon at
the Auditorium.
KEEP THE CHURCH OPEN
Young Men Have No Place to Go in ths
Evening Except the Saloons
and Other Dens Of
Vice.

That was a magnificent testimonial ten
dered the Rev. Mr.. Albritton at the Aud
itorium last night. Not a dozen seats
were unoccupied, and those were up in
the extreme rear of the balcony. The
great room was full of people and the pas
tor of the Mountain View NJ. E. church
was most happily surprised, for last
Wednesday night he told his congregation
| of the church that he hoped they would
turn out last night and make a show al
least in the spacious public hall tina. the
trustees have engaged for holding Sun lay
evening services until the new church is
completed.
The immense throng were In their STATS
by T:30 o'clock, and after the pastor began
his sermon he was not interrupted by
persons struggling into the hail. The
large church choir was heard to most
excellent advantage and the singing was u
beautiful feature of the evenings relis .ous
services
The pastor said he was grateful for the
splendid attendance. He took for his text
the Biblical account of Christ preaching in
the tabernacle at Capernaum, "A way to
get into a crowded house"
The house was crowded to the doors
There was sick man who wanted 10 hear
Christ. He could not get in tn 1u:gn lie
doors, so his friends bo.e him 10 the roof,
tore away a patch of thing. and lying en-
his cot, he was lowered right down INTO
the midst of the vast congregation in the
presence of Jesus 1t was here that the
people saw Jesus perform the miracle of
curing the sick man. This man had a will.
and with that will he found way to go
to Christ Jesus. 1t goes to show that if
person wants to go to Jesus he can do
so, whatever his condition may be. There
are many persons who call on Jesus only
when they find themselves in distress or
some other dilemma. In such instances
Jesus is not apt to take much heed to the
appeal.
ut is Gods will said Mr.. Albrtton in
speaking of the custom of keeping the
doors of the church closed six days of
the week. that our churches be thrown
open every evening, so that the young
men may enjoy themselves in religious
recreation. No wonder there is effort to
organize a Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation in Butte. There is no place where
the young men can spend their evenings
away from the saloons and other places
of vice. The church that first adopts the
plan of opening its doors seven days a
week for the benefit of the young men
will find that 1t has taken a popular and
successful step
II am no socialist. l am not an anarch-
ist but in literal sense ! do say that
when a man is hungry he ought to eat.
When a man wants to go to church he
ought to go. There is a certain violence
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-03-06

which is permissible. We are tonight viz
lating a rule by turning our steps away
from the dedicated house of worship. but
the violation is permissible for the reas On
that our church is not large enough to
accommodate all who want to attend ser
vices. But no matter for what purpose
this hall has been used ON some former
occasion, it is tonight consecrated to
God
The pastor then briefly told of the birth
of Methodism at Oxford. and how 1t
fiourished at Cornwall under the leader
ship of John Wesley; of Dwight l.. Moo
dy.s experience with the fastidous congre-
cation in Chicago, who discountenanced
the creation of a cosmopolitan Sunday
school class In their church and Of the
grand work accomplished by Booth of the
salvation Army.
II don't care who he is. don't care where
he comes from, If he is engaged in the
work of uplifting humanity. there is my
hand; he can take 1t and grasp the hand
Of fellowship" said he in conclusion.
Next Sunday evening there will be SER
vices in the Auditorium.

London Women Raise a Hand to Protect
the Pachyderm.

| the Pachyderm
In England there is being formed an
! association of women on the lines of
| the Audubon society, except instead of
! exercising fostering care over the
i plumage birds these ladies are goi.:g to
! hold a sheltering wing over the herds
of elephants, which are now being
slaughtered without mercy. These
ladies argue that a practical method of
discouraging the trade in ivory would
be efficacious if it were only adopted
generally. 1t is simple that we should
all forego the use of ivory and have our
knife handles. etc. made of Xylonite or
one of the good forms of cellulod. The
10000 elephants annually destroyed for
manufacturing purposes have their
long, wise lives sacrificed mainly in the
service of billiard players. This is quite
unnecessary. as xylonite billiard balls
it is claimed. are now made as truly
and are as pleasant to play with as
those of ivory.

imported into Europe and America

from the interior of central Africa go at

A Giant Among locomotives.

A monster climbing loco
motive, built to ascend the steep grades
of the Lehigh Valley railroad, has just
been completed at the Baldwin Loco
motive Works, Philadelphia. This en-
gine which is claimed to be the largest
locomotive ever constructed in the
United States, is known as compound
consolidation engine, and weighs lis
tons.
1t is so long that when it was finished
it was discovered that it could not turn
the curves of the siding leading from
the shops where it was built to the main
line of the Reading railroad. and the
workmen were compelled to jack it up
several times in order to overcome the
unforeseen difficulty Hundreds of per-
sons watched with great interest this
novel work of lifting it over the curves
1t has been numbered 6S1. and is guar
anteed to pull q, train of 1000 tons II
miles per hour over the steepest grades
Of the Lehigh Valley. This giant among
locomotives will use buckwheat coal for
fuel
Its general dimensions are as follows:
The cylinders are is inches in diameter
high pressure and 80 inches in diameter
low pressure. The boiler is so inches in
diameter and contains 511 tubes two
inches in diameter. There are four
driving wheels on each side, 55 inches
in diameter. The boiler and firebox are
of steel, While the total weight of the
engine in pounds is 225,OS3. This weight
added to that Of the tender amounts to
the enormous total of 346.00O pounds
The tender has a tank capacity of 1000
gallons, and the engine is guaranteed
to run for considerable distance,
namely, from Coxten to Fairview, two
stations on the Lehigh Valley, without
taking water.

TO PULL IT OFF IN BUTTE
Inducements Held Out for the
Observation-Disclosures Match.
OFFER OF $4,000 MADE
The Plan Is to Organize a Big Athletic
Club With Money Behind 1t.
P. j. Donahue
Talks.

P. J. Donahue of Anaconda called at
the office of the Standard yesterday af-
ternoon to say that he was here and
that he is the man who sent the follow
ing telegram to Dave Holland of New
York City, copy of which was printed
by the associated press Saturday morn
ing:
Butte, Manufacturing bill passed.
Club guarantees SIS, 900 purse"
In reply to Hollands inquiry, Mr..
Donahue wired that a check for $500
had been forwarded as evidence of good
faith
This much I said to Holland
had hoped that nothing would be pub
lished about the matter until the plans
now making reached a mature stage
AS you know, the bill has not yet been
signed by the governor and we cannot
perfect details before the bill becomes a
law However, | have consulted num-
Der of solid business men in Butte with
reference to the organization OF a big
athletic club. l will not mention names,
but / can state positively that we are
laying plans to hold mammoth carni-
val of boxing here with Fitzsimmons,
Jeffries and other nota bles as the at
fractions.
AS l said before. do not think that
this matter should be given too much
publicity at present for obvious reasons.
Our object was first to secure the FitZ-
smmons-Jeffries match, make all the
necessary arrangements and then make
our announcement in due form. There
is this much about it, if the match does
not take place in New York, Butte will
have it. There is the best material here
on earth for the formation of a big
solid club Furthermore, there is no de-
nyng the fact that 80 per cent of the
people of this city want the match
pulled off here. 1t would be the great
est drawing card ever put up in Butte.
A rootiess building with a seating ca
pacity of 10000 would of necessity be
put up. 1t would have to be built with
a view to converting it to other uses,
may be for a skating rink in the winter,
or something else of account. Once the
crowd gets here, Butte could show it
something it never saw before-its
Mines smelters and other things which
many eastern people never dream exist
here.
In Carson there was nothing to show
the crowd but a barren tract of land.
AS soon as the fight was over people
rushed away in search of something to
see. l built the amphitheater at Carson
and have had considerable experience
in such things. I am going to Red
