MAN AND THE DEVIL.
Topic of Address at Meeting for Men
Bible-Theater Club Meets.

Another success was recorded yesterday
for the big meetings" for men, Of the
series held at the Lafayette Theater Sun
day afternoon, under the auspices of the
Washington Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation. The principal feature of the pro-
gram was an address by Rev. Charles Bay
ard Mitchell of Cleveland, Ohio, whose sub
ject was Man and the Devil" Songs were
sung by the Lincoln Temple choir. support
ed by the regular Y. NJ. c. A. Orchestra,
under the leadership of Mr.. Donald B. Mac
Leod, director of the National Guard Band.
Stereopticon views depicting scenes in the
life of Christ were thrown upon a screen
and briefly explained by Mr.. w. H. H.
Smith. of the Bible teachers of the
association.
Prior to the "big meeting" the newly or
ganized "Bible Theater Club met at the
theater, in charge of Mr.. w. E. Andrews
auditor for the Treasury Department. Fol-
lowing the big meeting light supper
was served at the Y. NJ c. A. headquarters
at 1872 G street northwest.
IF the devil were to appear in Washing
ton today" DR.. Mitchell said in his address.
''he would not approach in an unattractive
garb, but would be seen on Pennsylvania
avenue in silk lat and frock coat, and
would look like a gentleman" was the
rather startling pronouncement of the
Cleveland divine. The men present applaud
ed the statement.
Il believe in the devil. He is Gods great
enemy. God is mans friend and so the
devil temptS and betrays man. The devil
works mostly through three temptations
which he places before men. The first is
ayarice 1t was this sin that actuated the
men who were caught in the Chadwick
fraud, because they thought they were ex
horting an exorbitant interest from wo-
man who wanted quick loan. The ability
to make money is God-gven, but the folly
of the mere desire for riches cannot salts
fly any spiritual hunger of the soul.
Character is worth more than gold. The
thing that lasts when the stars are dim
that is success.
1.-The second temptation is ambition, the
desire for leadership, which causes jealousy
and envy, the two foulest fiends that ever
Ieaped up from hell. 1t was ambition that
caused an Alexander and a Napoleon and
brought about their downfall.
1.-THE third temptation Is CONSCIOUSNESS
the desire for drink and for smoking and
satisfying the physical inclinations. There
is but one help for all this; there is but
one power stronger than temptation and
that is Jesus Christ
