ADDRESS TO MEN.
Bishop Vincent Speaks at z. M. c. A.
"Big Meeting"

Bishop John H. Vincent, the founder of
the Chautauqua movement and one of the
best known lecturers and evangelists in
this country, spoke at the Lafayette Thea
ter yesterday afternoon to an audience
which filed the auditorium to overlooking.
1t was one of the big meetings" for men,
held under the auspices of the local Young
Mems Christian Association, and was pre-
ceded by session OF the newly-formed
"Theater Bible Club This class met at
the theater, under the leadership of Mr.. w.
E. Andrews, auditor for the Treasury De-
partment, at 2:30 O'Clock, and was dis
missed when the doors were opened for
the big meeting" This new feature of
the association work, it is believed, will give
an opportunity for Bible study to many
who otherwise could not avail themselves
of this course.
Immediately following the "big meeting"
a members supper was served at the Y M
c. A. club house, 1872 G street northwest.
This, in turn was followed by another
class in Bible study led by Commissioner
Henry B. +. Macfarland,
Bishop Vincent spoke also last evening at
the Foundry Methodist Episcopal Church,
in 10Th street. Rev. DR.. Moore, pastor of
the church, introduced. the bishop. AT the
afternoon meeting Bishop Vincent spoke on
the subject, "Perils and Possibilities"
The program of the meeting included one
which time all announcements were made by
stereopticon slides. Miss E: Grace Upde-
graft sang soprano solo, II Have Read
of the Beautiful City," and the Apollo
Male Quartet sang, Some One Shall Enter
the Pearly Gates and Under His Wing
The singing of the quartet was from the
top gallery of the theater. Ten minutes
were devoted to a combination of the pic
torial lecture on the life of Christ, the talk
being made by w. H. H. Smith. "He Lead
eth Me- and abide With Me" were sung
by the audience.
Bishop .Vincent's discourse was an evan
gelistic appeal to young men to lead prop
er lives. He referred to the late President
Mckinley, and speaking of his last ad-
dress, delivered at Buffalo, said that it
contained not a word that could be called
religious 1t dwelt solely on the great ma
tional problems in a mastery way, and
yet, two days afterward, he repeated the
words. Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer
to Thee This, Bishop Vincent declared,
showed the deeply religious side of the
man Such men, he said, are needed, who
can do their parts in the business of life
and still be Christians.

Injured Man Says He Can Identify the
Footpads.

G. w. Orem, whose home is on Fillmore
street, Anacostia, reported to the police
Saturday night that he had been robbed of
SIS. some loose change and his watch. He
said he got off a street car at Jefferson
and Monroe streets about midnight and
that he was knocked down and robbed by
two white men. He gave the police a
description of the highwaymen and says
he can identify them.
Mr.. Orem's face was cut and bruised
from his sudden fall, while large wound
on the left side of his head showed where
a sandbag had been swung. Sergeant c. A.
Stevens of the Anacostia squad detailed
six policemen on the case. Officers King
and Stewart succeeded in tracing the two
men wanted to house south of the ave-
nue., but they had left before the officers
reached the place.
One suspect was yesterday taken into
custody in the first precinct, but proved

SUNDAY EVENING SERVICES.
Sermons to Young Reople-Propagat-
ing Power e Good.

At the Ninth Street. Christian Church on
Capitol Hill there are being held a series OF
Sunday evening services which are proving
very popular. Yesterday week there was
an evening with the juniors, when the ser
mon was preachedSby Rev. w. r. d. Win
tiers, the assistant pastor OF the church.
The service last evening was under the
auspices Of the BereansBible class and the
Timothy class of the Sunday school The
pastor. Rev. e. B. Bagby, preached the SER
mon from the text.93II Timothy, iii:15:
From child thou hast known the Holy
Scriptures, which are able to make thee
wise unto salvation through faith, which is
in Christ Jesus
The introduction of the sermon was an
account of the life of Timothy and his re-
lation to the Apostle Paul. How to develop
young men after the pattern of Timothy,
he said, Is the problem of parents, Sunday
school teachers, Y. NJ. c. A. workers and
others interested. 1t is supposed that boy
by nature is opposed to things religious
There is religion natural to a boy, said
the speaker, and religion natural to an
old lady. We must not expect the boy to
have the religion of the old lady. But be-
meath the boys boisterous fun-loving, mis-
chievous exterior there will be found genu-
Inc religious instincts. 1t has been said that
II we DO not care for the boys the devil Will,
and the answer is given, 1.-The devil Will
whether we care for them or not.
One of the earliest and strongest traits Oh
the boy is curiosity; he wants to know; he
would be wise. The problem is to direct
this desire toward things that are good
How can we stimulate the boys interest in
things religious? The young mems Bible
classes are trying to solve this problem. One
sin will open the door for many other sins
to follow. 1t is easy for the liar to become
thief, and the thief becomes murderer.
Sin blunts the senses, weakens the Will,
atrophieS the conscience and brings death
to the soul.
Good, also, has propagating power, said
DR.. Bagby. mo man lives to himself
While no man goes down without dragging
some one with him, it is also true that no
man climbs upon the rock of salvation with
out being an inspiration and help to other
strugglerS in the sea of life. The Bible
teaches the influence of personality.
If the Christians are to be the illuminate
ing, leavening, regenerating force in the
world they must come into contact with hu-
manity. This is the doctrine and this the
method of the teachers and workers in the
young mems classes. Wise, gentle and
good men and women are coming into vital,
personal contact with boys and young men,
and seeking to impress them by example
and precept with the great truths Of the
Bible that they may be made wise unto sal
walton.

FERRY LINE DROPPED
COMPANY ABANDoNs WASHING
TON AND ALEXANDRIA ROUTE.

Mr. Bert G. Faulhaber of New York, rep
resenting the New York owners of the
ferry which ran between this city and
Alexandria, but which was brought to a
sudden stop about two weeks ago by the
practical condemnation Of the old ferry
boat George Washington. was in the city
Saturday on business connected with the
ferry company.
Mr.. Faulhaber was seen by a Star re-
porter, and in response to the query as to
the plans of the company regarding the
ferry line stated that the New York people
were done with the ferry business, and
proposed to abandon the service. The line
has been kept running, Mr.. Faulhaber said
at dead loss for the past year or more
and he added that the company is tired of
going down into the pockets of its members
to keep up a service that the people OF
Alexandria do not appreciate.
After the steamer Columbia was burn
ed said Mr.. Fauihaber, Il was approached
by merchants of Alexandria with the as
surance that If a boat was put on the ferry
route 1t would be supported. We secured
the George Washington, the only boat we
could find, but she did not suit the people
of Alexandria, and we have been losing
money steadily. The repairs ordered for
the George Washington are much more eX-
tensive than her owners care to make, and
out of the ferry business"
Mr.. Faulhaber returned to New York Sat
urday night
New Company's Plans.
AS yet the new ferry company, organized
in Alexandria a day or two ago for the
purpose of putting ferry boats on the
route between this city and Alexandria,
have taken no steps toward the building or
purchase of the boats. The application for
the charter for the new company has been
forwarded to the Virginia state corporation
commission at Richmond, and it is expected
the incorporation will be completed this
week and then active steps to start the line
will be taken.
The Alexandria incorporators are keeping
their plans a secret. but it is understood
they propose to interest outside capital in
the venture, as we'll as to put their own
money in. They say the ferry is absolutely
necessary TO Alexandria's business men,
and that two steamers will be placed on the
route as soon as they can be secured and
terminal facilities can be obtained at this
end.
If the wharf of the old company cannot
be secured at Alexandria at a reasonable
figure. plenty of other wharf space can be
had there. The difficulty will be to find a
wharf here unless the District authorities
reserve the present ferry wharf solely for
ferry line purposes.
