FOUR MEN AND A BOOK
DISCUSSED IN SERMON
Dr.. Mcdowell, at Lafayette Theater,
Points Out Divergent Views on
Teachings of Scriptures.

The Rev. DR.. w. f. Mcdowell, of New
York. addressed the mems meeting held
in the Lafayette Theater last night un-
der the aupices of the Y. NJ. c. A. DR..
Mcdowell took as his subject. -Four
Men and a Book
The book" was the Bible. and Of the
four men. one was a questioner from
the East seeking knowledge Of the
Scriptures, and each Of the others was
a type of the schools teaching this sub
ject The different conclusions reached
by the three sch ols were such as would
bewilder the Fastener, said DR.. Nc
Dowel
The theologian would reply to the
question What do the Scriptures
teach?' The Scriptures teach what
man is to believe concerning God" The
student would reply to the same Ques-
ton. The Scriptures are the most mas
terful and perfect works in all ntera-
ture" The THIRD man. the reformer,
would answer. THE Scriptures princi-
pally teach what duties God requires Of
man."
DR.. Mcdowell declared that not one
OF these answers contained the truth
OF the subject. The right answer, he
said. was. THE Bibls contains the rec
ord OF Gods love; it tells how the Son
Of Man came to seek and save that
which was lost" The theologian, the
poet. the reformer are all blinded by
human inperfections; they cannot see
that the central truth is that IL tells
how Christ was nailed to the cross for
our deliverance.
The nesting was conducted by Lyman
c. Pierce. general secretary Of the
Washington association, while the mu-
sic. always one Of the most enjoyable
features of these meetings. was led by
Percy S. Foster. the associations musi-
cal director. The Temple Male Quartet
of Baltimore. sang several selections.

MONEY VERSUS CHRIST
THE RICH MANS FIGHT
Few Millionaires Converted, Says DR..
Ferguson in Sermon on "Sal-
walton for the Lowest"

That millionaires seldom become de-
Vout Christians or give themselves TO
God was the declaration of the Rev. DR..
w NJ. Ferguson in a sermon last night
at Wesley Chapel The subject of the
sermon was Salvation for the Lowest. -
Dr. Ferguson based his remarks on
the parable OF the ungrateful guests
who refused at the eleventh hour TO at
tend the feast. He compared the rich
to these guests, saying their home luXu-
ries are so great they feel content to
search for nothing outside of those lin
fits
Millionaire members OF the church
may generally be found to have been
Christians before they got their money.
Bat rich and poor can have salvation If
they VIII, he added.
1t is the message Of the gospel. the
glorious message, salvation for the low
est and for all"

HOME BURNS DOWN
0uinlan House in Paramount De.
stroyed Early in the
Morning.
WAS OCCUPIED BY BERT HULsIvBR
Lamp Upset by Mother While Giving
Medicine to One of the
Children.

The house at 1920 Forty-second
street, belonging to Mrs p. Qu1nlan,
and rented from her by Bert Hulsiyer,
was destroyed by fire early this morn
ing, the blaze starting from the up
setting of lamp by Mrs Hulsiver,
who had arisen to give sick child
medicine. The department. was mott
fed by alarm, and companies / and
and the hook and ladder company re-
sponded as promptly as was possible
through the bad roads on the
bluff. The house, valued at about
$1,000, is total loss with no insur-
ance, but Mr.. and Mrs. Hulsiver were
more fortunate, as they carried insur-
ance of $500 on their household goods.
The fire spread so rapidly that it was
impossible to save anything.
Escaped Half Clad.
The oil from the lamp flashed up in
flame so quickly that the entire room
was ablaze in an instant, and the
frightened mother had only time to
snatch the child from the encroach-
ing flames and dash out into the rain
with only few thin garments for
protection from the cold. The rest of
