Sermon by Rev. Or. Chaplin at

A large congregation filed Plymouth

He took for his text first Corinthians,
H.. 16, and his theme was Influence"
lie defined influence as the power for
good or evil upon others. II comes first
from what you say The very way In
which you speak cannot help but hinder
or help others.
Your influence for good or for Ill comes
secondly from what you do and the way
you do IL.
AS to the characteristics OF infiuence
First. Il Is universal: everyone exerts an
influence no one can help It. a little baby
everts an influence, and so from the
youngest 10 the oldest all exert an in
iluence
The second Characteristic Is that II Is
unconscious. The strongest influence
that YOU exert for good or III * an un-
conscious one
The third Characteristic Is that Z; Is
In the little things. Fourthly. our In
fiuencc Is a powerful thing and goes out
as a powerful force.
The last characteristic IS that our In
flucnce Is an eternal ono. Long after we
are dead we may influence others. We
arc told that VIC see light from stars that
have long ago become extinct. but be-
cause Il ta Ses the light 80 long TO reach
tho earth we still sec the light SO one
influence may live on through eternity.
Those OF you who are not Christians
your influence IS for cvil no matter what
YOU do or how YOU do H. "1Ie who L. not
for Me IL against Me." Those q you
who are Christians think before yor
speak. BE careful Of your words. be
careful of your acts. but most of all be
careful to be what you ought 10 hc.

prisoners Soon there was something
else to look at. however. and don't be-
lieve the prisoners could have presented

dismal line OF men. Some OF the strag-

les were. and once I'm awhile member OF

FROZEN TO
DEATH.
Former Wilmington Wo-
man Frozen TO Death
in Chester, Pa.
From Chester Republican.

From Chester Republican.
"My God, that's my wife. "The
cry came from William Simons, o
| FELTON,, as he stood in the morgue
of Coroner Edward S. Fry, a,
Third and Jeffrey streets on Sat
day morning. AS he gazed on the
features of the woman, who on
Thursday morning was found froz,
Ell to death on the steps of the
Clayton mansion, at Ninth street,
near Highland avenae, tears came
to his eyes.
Mr.Simons told, in broken tones
how on Wednesday morning last,
he and hi, wife had moved their
household furniture from Viii
mington, Del, to FELTON,, near this
city. When he. left with the goods,
she stated that she would remain
at the Wilmington house and give
it thorough cleaning, so that it
would be in the best condition for
the next occupants and he bade
her goodbye with the promise she
would 90 to FELTON, hlat evening.
He waited for her that evening,
and when she did not arrive, he
thought perhaps it had been too
cold, and that she had remained at
l friends house inv ilmington.The
following day, Mr.. Simons went to
the home Of the friend, and fail
ing to learn anything Of his wife,
he made search of the city. On
Friday night he returned to his
home in FELTON, and while reading
copy of Chester paper Thurs
day morning he saw the article
which told of the finding of a wo-
man frozen to death in this city.
Thinking that it might be his
wife, but hoping that it was not,
he determined to see the body.
During his Investigation, Coro-
ner Fry learned that Mrs. Simons
had boared a car of the Chester
Traction Company in Wilmington,
early Wednesday evening,and that
she was assisted off by the conduc-
tor at Ninth street and Highland
avenue this city. 1t is supposed
that she became bewildered, and
finally wandered to the Clayton
mansion where she sat down ex-
hausted Oh the front steps.
