HIS COMING FoREToLD.
The World Prepared by Thinkers for
Sayior's Advent.


Bishop Charles II. Fowler delivered an
eloquent sermon to the members of Foun-
dry Methodist Episcopal Church yesterday
morning. AS the anniversary of the birth of
Christ is near at hand, he thought 1t appro-
pirate to select a text bearing upon the ex-
altation of the Son of God. The bishop took
as his text q passage from Philippians:
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted
Him and given Him name which is above
every name"
The speaker said the world was put in
order for the coming of it's Savior by its
tn mixers. Age after age, by patriarch and
prophet. God was working to prepare the
world for the coming of His Son. Bishop
Fowler enumerated the heroic figures of
biblical history. There is Moses. the think
er. Today said the speaker, no nation
dares openly to enact laws In opposition to
thinkers. yet continued the speaker,
'all these are but bareheaded tots in the
torrid sun, barefooted boys running in the
hot sand before the chariut Of Jesus.
He was exalted by his society. We had
no society for ;Jesis 9ont earth-no one to
urge upon Him as a companion. Great
scholars compared to Him were but idiots.
Great rulers who sat in purple and fine
linens were mere hacks in bondage COM
pared with Jesus who had thrones, without
dimensions, at His feet. So it was that God
sent His society with Him. They hovered
around him Oh thc pist!iis VI ADranam until
the whole sky was radiant with their faces
He was exalted by God by the work in
trusted to Him. Such an honor is the real
test Of ability. Titles may help us to hob
BILE over the rough places. but the ability to
do work marks us as genuine. 1t seems to
many that Franklin's greatest work was to
go to distant France to see If we could find
friends in that country. God had sent
Jesus to befriend the world; to readjust the
balance of justice; TO make an estimate of
the direct and the indirect influence of sin;
to give some idea OF the revelation of God s
love-"

PROGRESS REPORTED
MANY CONTRIBUTIONS TO Y. NJ. G.
A BUILDING FUND.
Tho Committees Confronted by the
Task Of Procuring $50, 900 in
Ten Days.

The prospect before the Y. NJ. c. A. of
Washington today is this-to raise 100000 in
ten days completing a fund Of $500, for
the new structure or lose the $57 600 Of con-
ditional pledges In small subscriptions Of
$40 to 500, with now and then one Of $780,
the money has been coming In during the
past week at the rate of $1,000 to $1,000
daily. This is the result largely of the can
vass by the citizens committee. supple
mented by the letters and circulars sent
out by the secretary's Office.
The volunteer business mems and citi-
Zens' committee Is making encouraging
headway. One of the committee of twenty
six volunteers. who had pledged himself to
gee twenty-five men in a week, saw five
neighbors the first morning, and four Of
the five gave cheerful subscriptions. The
committeeman thereupon changed his prop
osition and guaranteed twenty-five sub
scriptions in place of simply seeing twenty
five men. There are number of larger sub
scriptions showing up, also, besides the
large inflow from friends of the cause with
moderate means. Three checks that prob
ably will average 1900 each will result
from three interviews of the past forty
eight hours.
What will the Y NJ c. A. do with its
tons which the members of the committees
have to answer many times daily. The reply
Is often found by citing the cases of Buffalo,
Brooklyn, Boston. Cleveland. New Haven.
Scranton and Chicago. where new buildings
or marked improvements have been recent
ly made. In the case of every city where
the improvements have been consummated
heavy percentage of growth in member
ship. educational classes. gymnasium work
as weA as in all social and religious meet
ings. Is at once noted.
A Notable Case.
A notable case OF growth following a lib
eral investment for Y. NJ. C. A purposes is
that of the Chicago central department.
The building and lot of the Chicago inssi-
tuition are valued at 81 $50. .o0O the creates,
Y. NJ. c. A. investment in the country. But
comparison of the membership statistics OF
1901 and 1893 shows an increase from 3.T2a
TO b.012 in total membership, with a gain In
daily gymnasium attendance of from 9,O5C
10 5,o10. The number of situations secured
grew from TAI to Loss showing that the
institution paid interest on the investment
in more ways than one
One of the most interesting evidences OF
the practical value of Y. NJ. c. A. work
from a business standpoint ts seen in the
case of the 1914 railroad associations and
branches. The leading railroad companies
seeing the advantage arising from Y. NJ. c.
A. influence on the habits and character OF
their employees and consequent efficiency OF
operation. have usually given appropriations
amounting to about one half the cost OF the
buildings and current expense OF operation
The value OF railroad Y. NJ. c. A. buildings
at 10 points last spring was 81 .S29. $50. The
railroad membership aggregated e. 34s and
the total current expense S611, ,4S5.
