STAR PREACHERS.

BY KEY. JOS. N. smith,
These are growing scarcer, and there
is more demand for them. We would
recommend to every young man Tor
woman contempla ting the ministry.
whether in the passionate or in evan
gelism. that they foster an ambition to
be star preachers.
The Bible recognizes this order.
though the colleges do not always give
them degrees, and the cabinet may
sometimes discount them. The star
preachers Of you will hunt up their
record in the Bible are those who
tGrn many to righteousness" You see.
there are two orders of minister's
those who teach tour version says
that be wise" but the margin says
'teach') and those that turn. The first
is a shining class, brilliant as the fir
mament; but the second is more lus-
trous, for they shall shine as the stars.
forever and ever That's the reason |
call them star preachers" They are
turner's.
And what do l mean by turner's?
Well, you would call them exhorters.
may be. They are rousers, agitators.
movers, persuaders. They get men TO
act. Teachers furnish the light, turn
ers supply the fire; teachers lay the
track, turner's start the train; the one
applies truth to the understanding.
the other applies it to the viii Turn
ers are result producers.
The will. All! that is the objective
point of an auctioneer or of any other
salesman. 1t is the bulls eye, too, at
which the pleading lawyer is aiming.
But lots of preachers have no eye.
They do not preach for results. They
would be surprised If anybody turned
-squarely turned around and came
out and sought salvation. at the close
or in the middle of the sermon.
Now Jesus. the carpenters son,
wants some apprentices. He wants to
teach them turning. There is need of
skilled laborers on this line and good
pay. There is much material. Not
worth much in the rough, so that 1t
can really be had handily ana without
the capital of n college education; but
hen this material is turned it is the
most valuable product In the universe.
1t is the stuff that soul winners
crowns are made of. and it has a pow
er of setting stars in their orbit so
that they shine forever.
Now, if you will read Paul's com
mission, you will find that he, too. was
called TO be a turner. Not merely a
theologian, nor teacher, nor an ex-
positor. but turner. Il send this,
saith God. TO open their eyes and to
turn them from darkness to light and
from the power of Satan unto God"
1t must be- then. that the gospel turn
er has great resources of power at his
command when by some means he
can actually turn men from the grip
of the devil and land them in the EN-
brace of God. Those that do it are
star preachers. sure enough

ALL ABOUT A DOG.
Lost Canine Leads to Blows and the
Police Court,


Police Court.
A lost dog led to the arrest last night of
George Carliss. about thirty-five years old,
and his conviction in the Police Court this
morning on a charge Of assault preferred
by Henry Page, apd he will spend one
month in jail in default of an assessment of
$40, levied by Judge Kimball.
1t developed from the evidence before the
court that Page recently lost dog, and
that while near the corner of Pennsylvania
avenue and AZ street last night he saw the
animal following Cariiss. Page whistled,
and the brute paused, stuck up it's ears.
and quickly ran to Page and gave express
sion to canine delight by sharp barks. Car
liss, however, objected to any interference
by Page and words which ensued were fol-
lowed by blows, so Page told Judge Kim
ball. The defendant denied that he had
made an attack on Page. but the court de-
cided that he had. and acted accordingly.

WOMEN PLEDGE EFFORTS

Charles NJ. Owens Draws Alarming Pic
ture of Conditions in Utah at
Mass Meeting.

A mass meeting for discussion of the
anti-Smoot crusade was held yesterday
afternoon in the Metropolitan Church,
Four-and-a-half and Streets north
west. The Rev. Henry Yates Satterlee,
bishop of Washington. presided. The
meeting was largely attended. and rep
resentatives of several prominent wom-
ems organizations were among the
speakers Each declared her intention
of doing all in her power and in that
of the body she represented to IA -
the Utah Senator unseated.
Bishop Satterlee said the purpose OF
the meeting was not to cause an inter
ference of state with the church. but
only as an additional effort toward the
unfolding of morals; that all States. in
Guiding Utah had laws against polyg-
amy. and that the law Of single mar
riage looked toward the preservation
of the purity of the family. and that it
would be the effort of every Christian
TO see that that law remained un-
broken
Among the speakers were Mrs. Mar
garet d. Ellis. of the Woman's Chris
tan Temperance Union; Mrs. Frederick
Schoff. president of the Congress of
Mothers; Mrs. c. l.. Roach president
of the Interdenominational Congress,
and Charles Mostyn Owen, of Salt Lake
City. Utah. Mr.. Owen said the condi-
lions in Utah were appalling.
Il have been in Utah over sixteen
years, and | knew whereof j speak" he
said. Il have heard women under oath
deny all knowledge Of the paternity of
their children. 1 have heard fathers
swear they did not know who were the
husbands of their daughters. And both
of these things l have heard within the
last four years.
There is hardly a hamlet in the whole
of Utah that has not its representa-
tive or representatives of polygamy.
The Mormons and their rulers have
fore becoming citizens Of the United
States. When we ask the abolition Of
such practices. we ask only that which
is good, clean, and honorable-'we'
means all of Christian Utah"

TENN ERANCE SERMONS
IN METHODIST CHURCHES
Two Speakers Say Much Is Done To-
ward Roofing Out the Saloon, and
Prophesy Final Victory.

The work done and to be done was the
subject of discourses at Waugh and
Trinity NJ. e. Churches yesterday morn
ing. At the former the subject was dis
cussed by the Rev. +. c. Dinwiddie,
superintendent of legislation for the
Anti-Saloon League. and at the latter
by the Rev. d. z. Q. Davis, president Of
Albert College. New York
After acknowledging his appreciation
for the assistance given him by the
pastor of Waugh Chapel, the Rev Mr.
Dinwiddie said in part:
The time has come when all the
churches of the land must band together
for the destruction of the common enc
my. They must study the problem of
what to do with the saloon. Prior to
the formation of this league OF ours the
temperance forces were disorganized,
and as a result of this. defeat always
stared us in the face. Now, however.
we have a definite plan of attack. an
army that means to fight. and fight we'll
Still, we need every man. woman. and
child that is opposed to the liquor traffic
TO come in and help us. We have no
political creed. Republicans and Demo-
Gratis alike march shoulder to shoulder
in the struggle, and strive for the com
mon goal, the destruction of the sa-
loon"
The Rev. DIR. Davis explained at
length the methods employed by the
league workers in arousing public senti-
ment. He said that just as the public
conscience. after long lying dormant,
was at last aroused to the evils of other
institutions, and by its force had served
to sweep them from the country, so the
traffic in liquor would at last be abol-
ished.
I'VE do not spprehend we shall &C
complish much in the next two years, -
he declared, though we have not lost
hope of beins able TO do something.
But in the end, although it may be de-
ferred for some years, we shall
triumph"
