TEN ARE CONVERTED
Melvin Trotter, of Grand Rap.
ids, Moves Young Men

Ten young men We're converted yes
terday afternoon as the result of an adj
dress delivered at the Central Presby-
terian church by Melvin Trotter, super
intendent of the gospel mission at Grand
Rapids, Mich. The converts were part
of a fair sized audience attending a joint
meeting arranged by the Union gospel
mission of St Paul and the Young Mems
Christian association.
Mr.. Trotter's subject was sTrhe Brazen
Serpent" which was made by Moses and
which was destroyed in later years by
King Hezekiah, after the Israelites had
begun to worship the serpent as an idol.
Such a multitude of reasons, said Mr..
Trotter. were used by men, even by pro-
fessed Christians. to keep them from Civ
ing the Lord his due measure of service.
Many personal habits were bowed to as
idols instead of being recognized as bra
zen Serpents and destroyed accordingly.
In business also. men were prone to
give unwarranted precedence to a pre-
sumed necessity for outstripping com
petitiors. Honesty. honor, godiiness were
set aside lest they might prevent sue
cess. This, too in many cases. by men
that avowed themselves saved by men
that would even boast of their conver-
sion.
80, what q glorious day it was,'' such
man would exclaim, that glorious day
four years, eight months and two weeks
ago, when Z came at last know the
Savior
mo doubt it was glorious day" Mr.
I Trotter continued the most glorious day
in the convets life. ButehoW much more
glorious it would be now to other Chris
tians if this convert would only pay his
honest debtsi
IF he were a real Christian as well as
professed Christian, if he would pay
his debts as quickly as he would lead in
prayer. he might see, with Hezekiah, that
the splendid idol of business success was,
after all, a mere serpent of brass. He
might cast down his idol, he might de-
stroy it. he might come. indeed, TO the
salvation he had boasted.
Mr.. Trotter entreated the men before
him, mostly Young men, to search their
souls, find out what brazen serpents they
were worshiping, and then destroy these
idols of brass erected on the altar Of
Christ.
After his principal appeal the evangel-
ist began prayer, in which he asked
that every one who wished to be prayed
for or who felt that he had found saliva
ton might indicate the fact,
rs there another one that'll raise his
hand ?''sexelaimed Mr.. TFotter. And when
a hand went up, God bless YOU he add
ed. THANK the Lord for it,"
The congregation was asked to sing one
verse of Just AS / Am. Then Mr..
Trotter besoughts the converts to come
forward to a front seat where he could
talk with them personally At last ten
young men were ranged in line. They
talked with the evangelist, and one of
them led the congregation in prayer

Rev. T. w. Barbour Depiores
Their Influence, but Notes

God never reveals himself through a
sewer, but through comparatively pure
channels. The theater breaches to Us its
moral atmosphere through its moral acts;
and when, like Caesars wife, it is s.bove
suspicion. we shall be able to give it our
unqualified Endorsement
This Was the sentiment regarding the
theater, voiced by Rev. T. W. Barbour.
pastor of the Clinton Avenue nj. E. church,
Clinton avenue and Isabel street, in his
sermon last night on How Shall We
Look at the Theater?''
The dramatic profession is just as
honorable as any other profession, when
those engaged in it choose to make it so.
The honor or dishonor of the stage rests
with them.
Quotes Editor Buckley
ITO quote fhe words of J. NJ Buckley,
editor of the Christian Advocate, who q
short time ago made an exhaustive study
or sixty of the plays running in New
York's best theaters:
: If language which is not tolerated
among respectable people, and which
would excite righteous indignation if adj
dressed to the most uneultivated servant
girl by the average young man, and If
profanity branding him who uttered it as
irreligious. are improper amusements,
fifty of the sixty plays should be con-
denned. OF the other ten, with three or
four exceptions, those which are visually
low order of execution
Approves of East Lynne
Il do not wish to be understood as con-
demning the theater in toto for there are
In the two classes of plays many good
ones which have 81 tendency to uplift the
spectator-such as East Lynne, - Uncle
TomS Cabin and Others of a like nature.
Even considering the plays which are
frequently produced in the theaters of
the higher classssit cannot be said that
they exercise; a abeneficial effect upon
theatergoers. sfThe stage is a riot of
color. costumes and scenery, and the mu-
sic certainly not of religious variety
all this appeals only to the senses. To
cap the climax the chorus comes on. and
it cannot be said that n man who leaves
the theater with a yision of pink feshings
and semi nudity IN his mind comes out
the better forsfilis experience
THE theatef in general cannot be said
to have a beneficial effect on Christian
life, especially when it takes people away
from the churches On Sundays. This
would be different were the stage reform
ed. If we can get a class of players like
Booth, Garrick, Macready and Henry Irv-
ing who Strove TO reform the theater
and for the apliftment of the drama-and
failed, or more preachers like Lyman
Beec1ef and Claiming, who tried the
same thing-and failed, we would get
nearer to the cherished goal.
"Our only alternative as true Chris
tians is either to reform the stage or
to desist from patronizing the theater.i' y

Better to Advertise Prices.

if a certain person who purchased a
bill of goods from we'll known Chi
cago firm at a large discount from
home trade, had come to his home
merchant and offered him cash in ad-
vance, plus the freight from Chicago,
he would have duplicated the order
for him. We carefully looked the
matter over, but failed to see where
said merchant let the people know it.
No, sir, and even worse, not single
line of advertising telling the people
he was in business there, and yet
the people are not mind readers,
and have no means of knowing
what a merchant will do unless he
tells them'-Vernon Center News.
There is world of truth in what
the News SAYS, and if the home mer-
chant would take as much pains to
let the people know what they can
sell their goods as cheap as the
Chicago house does, there would not
be so many orders going away from
home.-Kasson Republican.
