Judge Ashman,a of Philadelphia. judge
of the Orphans Court of that CITY, spoke
twice in Richmond Sunday, pom .litss
to large audiences. In the afternoon ne
addressed the mems meeting at the Bilou
on the subject, "The Man Who DOUBTS.
There were several requests for prayer.
at night Judge Ashman spoke at Cen
tenary and delivered one of the most pow
erful addresses ever heard IN Rlchmollo.
He said the tendency of the age
is to minimize the individui in all
Industrial pursuits. He drew picture
of the conditions existing years aSo,
when the skilled individual was a power
full factor, and those existing now. When
the machine is gradually but relentlessiy
crowding out the man. The time ana
the occasion, he said, was not proper Tor
a discussion of the trust problem and
al the outset he removed this point OF
view But his discussion frequently
hordered close upon the question. lie
showed how the individual, if the present
conditions are carried out, will gradu-
ally become a nonentlty; how the pro
cess of minimizing is constantly gong
on The.machine. he sald,. is always pc
coming larger than the man, SO much
81 that the individual is frequently dis
nosed to wonder for what particular
reason life is worth living.

for the past three weeks at Marshall
