POWER OF JESUS CHRIST
TO SAVE SINNERS
Subject of Sermon by Bishop
Wilson, of Baltimore.
Forceful and Eloquent Discourse at
Mount Vernon Square
M. E. Church.

Bishop W. A. Wilson, OF Baltimore.
preached yesterday morning at Mount
Vernon Square NJ. E Church South. There
was large congregation present to hear
the venerable divine. whose general sub
ject was Sin and Death" The discourse
was more than ordinarily interesting and
It's effect was made the more impressive
by the forceiul eloquence of the speaker
Bishop Wilson took as his text Romans
VIZ; For If, when we We're enemies. we
We're reconciled to God by the death of
his son, much more, being reconciled. we
shall be saved by his life"
In developing the text Bishop Wilson
quoted from the words of Paul to show
that If through the offense of one MANY
be dead, SO by the abundance of grace
and of the gift of righteousness shall
reign IN life by one. Jesus Christ. For as
by one mans disobedience many were
made sinners, so by the obedience of one
snail many be made righteous.
The terms of the text. the speaker said
are simple. direct. and emphatic There
Is no salvation without reconciliation with
TOD so the reverse is true that hostility
TO God is fatal to man. Some men do mot
work in conjunction with God. They en-
deavor to get the best of all that is in
life in spite of him.
There are many he said who get angry
when the subject of God and salvation Is
introduced, as they contend, at inoppor-
tune times. They will answer. Why do
you introduce the subject?' forgetting that
God Is ever present and that no one should
refuse to acknowledge the truth of n
They seem unwilling to give all of their
time to thoughts of him and seem to he
iieve that they do their whole duty whom
they give an hour or two for devotion IN
NM they Will not. he said, succeed In
that way. for God will accept no comnro-
mise. He must have all time. God "a
living God and will reign for all time
He will not abdicate and will triumph In
the end no matter how much we opposs
him.
We do not realize the nearness of God
to us, said the speaker, and the nearness
of ourselves to him. We believe in Gods
Willingness to help and do for u.s. but we
DO not make any special effort ourselves.
But we must remember that sin cannot
be put away and hostility to God removed
swithout the mediatorial sacrifice of Jesus
Christ. We look upon death as a common
condition which must come to all HUI

Appropriate Music.
Particularly appropriate to the occasion
was the singing of the occasional hymn.
The grand old hymn rang out and echoed
and re-echoed through the church. The
men who had hundreds of times sung the
battle hymns Of their country joined with
a patriotic and at the same time reverent
fervor in singing of this battle hymn OF

Shelley's magnificent "Harkl Hark, Ny

being rendered with especial feeling by
the choir.
The singing of America concluded the
service, and the members of the organi-
zation marched out of the house of wor-
ship and disbanded for another interval of
three years.
A number of the members left the city
last night. and the majority of the others

sufficient seriousness.
Death. said Bishop Wilson. is the heri-
tage of humanity. Only two men, he said,
ever escaped it. There was no need for
the death of Jesus Christ. He was sy-e
undefled. and his death was in violation
OF the law of God. 1t, however, could not
have been inflicted without his consent
Death had no power over him. He was
without sin and spotless in his human
nature.

about him. was powerful and sincere 1t
went down into the very roots of his be-
ing. and formed the basis of his manhood
and character. The waves of history of
over century have beat upon the char
acter of Washington, but have merely
served to bring out more fully and clearly
his sterling character. He is still held
up as the stalwart man, always kind but
firm, always sincere and just. always
striving to hold his temper and personal
feelings in check. He is still shown as
the man Of God who in moments of trial
and temptation got down on his knees
before his God and prayed that the light
might be shown him. Even in that aw-
full winter at Valley Forge. amid the hor-
rors and suffering almost unbearable. we
see him still as the Christian, bending to
the will of the Divine Master and placing
his trust and his hope for the deliverance
of the nation in God
Washington lived in an age of wide
spread unbelief. But he never sought to
shield or hide his principles or faith in
a Divine Ruler.
Upon every occasion that he was
brought before his countrymen he held up
TO them the fact that he was Christian,
follower of God and his commandments.
He ever held up that wonderful declara-
tion Of the prophet of Israel: AS for me
and my house, we will serve the Lord
Washington as Christian.
Thousands of eloquent orators have
sounded the praises of George Washing
ton as soldier, a statesman, as the
Father of His Country l will speak of
him as Christian, firm and unbending
man of God. whose example turned thou
sands of his countrymen to seek the light.
His name l commit to you, not only
as first in war. first in peace as a great
sage and general, a wonderful general and
molder of the American nation, but as
man OF faith-a true Christian"

The church has remained undedicated

congregation has made strenuous efforts
to remove this, witt the result that he
church has been cleared OF every OBJ
stacle in the way of its formal consecra-

the sermon by DR.. Williams yesterday.
Next week we shall enter upon
period which marks a new epoch in the
history of this particular house of the
Lord" he said. 1T is the anniversary of
the beginning of the great struggle to
establish this church. Its gratifying
growth seems but a fulfilling OF the
prophecy OF my text. The house Of the
Lord shall be exalted above all others
How many have been the persons who
have knelt at this altar and consccrated
their lives to God,
Il believe the time will come when even
thousands will gather within these doors
to worship the Master, and make this
house a place of prayer for all people.
I'VE must shake OFF every vestige OF sell

Jurisdiction, but who are deferred from
worshiping with us.

'But the time Will assuredly come when

relief. This pure Wine has relieved the
most obstinate cases of menstrual disorder.
These troubles, which are simply irregu-
larities at first, quickly involve every organ
and function of the body-the nerves, the
digestion, the blood circulation and respi-
ration: Any sort of disease may develop
in body that is run down and wrecked in
health in all quarters. A disease that has
run for ten years is generally regarded as
chronic. Wine of Cardui could have re-
lleyed Mrs. Blau years ago but the Wine
relieves SO many thousand cases Of irregu-
larlties in their early stages that this case
would hardly have been noticed. This case
IS referred to today to show all hopeless
discouraged sufferers what a reliable, eff
fectlve medicine Wine Of Cardui is. No
woman has ever, to our knowledge, taken
this medicine and not been benefited by it.
To cure Mrs. Blau who had suffered ten
years, was an achievement. If you need
the relief Wine of Cardui brought to Mrs.
Blau, go to your druggist and buy dollar
bottle of Vino Of Cardui. If you wish

Small fruits together with sugar, rub

the attention of capitalists all over the

A BOON TO BUYERS
Proposed Elwell Permanent Furni-
ture Exposition on East Side.
PLANS FOR A LARGE BUILDING
1t VIII Tend to Centralize Furniture
JobbinG and Strengthen East
Side misunderstanding Center.

j. T. ElwelPs plans for a furniture ex-
position at Eighth street and Central
avenue NE are rapidly taking form. Such
a building seems a necessity If Mime
apolis jobbers intend to hold up their
end of trade with the country merchants.
Minneapolis men refused to go into the
St. Anthony Park scheme, one which will
be of great benefit to st. Paul wholesalers
in any event. The situation is this: In
st. Paul retail merchants are taken d.
rectly to the St. Anthony Park eXposi-
ton. 1t is possible there within the con-
fines Of one building to see everything
in furniture and kindred lines. But in
Minneapolis the country merchant and
general store proprietor must travel all
about the wholesale district ON First
street n, and from one furniture manu-
featuring center on Western avenue to
the other in Minneapolis Southeast. At
least day is consumed in seeing all the
peripatetic $50
Mr.. Elwell plans to obviate this by con-
centrating ShOwrooms under one roof.
Furniture manufacturers, wholesale chair
houses, bed and, bedding jobbers, dealers
in funeral goods, curtains, baby cabs, etc,
will exhibit samples.
A general office is included in the
scheme. A clerk will be in charge, and
when prospective customers arrive a
telephone message will bring city sales
man from the firm with whom the mer-
chant wishes to consult. The site is
within easy reach of the jobbers and the
manufacturers by the street car lines.
The Central avenue, Eighth street, Mon
roe and Lyndale, Oak street and Como
Harriet lines pass directly or only short
distance from the proposed site.
The improvement means much to the
East Side. It is becoming primarily a
manufacturing center. The furniture ex-
change will tend to hold the business al
ready established and to draw other
businesses of a jobbing character. This
will make it easy for buyers to do an
immense business within short space of
thine and within a decreased radius.
The plan calls for a four story brick
building, 132x165 feetEin dimensions. Floor
space only will be rented. In style it
will resemble the Mcleod & Smith build
| ing at Seventh street and Central avenue,
and if patronage is assured the Elwell
structure may be built up to the other,
making uniform building fronting an
entire block on Central.
