THOUSANDS ATTEND
MEETING FOR WOMEN
Minister Speaks On Immanency Ct the
Divine Spirit

The woman's meeting conducted by
Rev. Henry Ostrom at the First
Methodist church was hardly less en-
Enthusiastically attended than the one
at Temple auditorium The Sunday
school rooms and galleries were
crowded and when even the standing
space of the building was taxed the
doors were closed and several hundred
people turned away.
After DR.. Ostrom had finished preach
ing, he requested all mothers who had
daughters or sons, who were not
Christians and desired the prayers of
the people, to stand A large num-
Der stood up, but the request for those
who were not Christians and wanted
to be was more generally responded to.
Between fifty and a hundred cards
were signed.
A large chorus containing over four
hundred singers furnished the music
and added much to the enthusiasm of
the meeting. DR.. Ostrom said in
part:
What we really need today is the
sense of God. 1t is encouraging for us
if we are becoming more humani-
tartan, but it is vital to us that we
become Cody.
Nearness of God
I'm nature about us, God has come
very near. With all its uncertainties
nature reveals his power, his wisdorn,
ana in part his love-"
Here the speaker told an incident
concerning Mrs. Maud Ballington
Booths little child requesting of the
nurse in her mothers absence to put
her mothers dress over her crib at
night to allay her loneliness When the
mother next day asked the reason for
the dress being there the child re-
piled that when she got her hand on
the dress she fell asleep feeling that
her mother was almost present.
"Oh," continued the speaker, 'if you
really want to know God and realize
him near as this little girl longed for
her mother, then every lily-cup, every
brook, every child's prattle, every
day-dawn, and every sunset, will give
you some realization of the touch Oe
his hand, or the whisper of his voice
more delicate than silence"
But God is especially near, in the
atonement wrought out by Jesus. DO
not speak lightly of the atonement.
There is both deep philosophy and
mighty power in it. And it takes tina t
much tragic aside from the philoso-
ply of it to rouse the soul to better
living in this world of sin. The blood
is the tide of life and if God chose to
set life to flowing upon this prettily
colored tide, why should we draw back
from his asserting his redeeming love,
bringing us to characterize life on the
same terms? Why apologize for the
very heart of sacrifice? We will
preach it, saved through the atone
ment of Jesus.

For Information we obtained on the

In stating our convictions that all

assume that not only Republicans
but goodly number of independent
citizens will join in clccting them.
This is by no means hide bound
party ticket, but t;,ir and liberal to
all, and must commend itself to all
considerate taxpayers who wish the

made lighter.

Free mail delivery has become a
settled part of life in many country
neighborhoods. While, as with
every other public convenience, there
are some causes for complaint, the
people would never permit the sy :
tenn to be given up. On the other
hand they demand IN extension of
the privilege. The success of free

A Story Of Jean Bart, An Old Time

A Story Of Jean Bart, An Old Time
French Naval Officer.
Jean Bart, a French naval comman-
der of the last part Of the seventeenth
century, was at one time ordered to
convey the Prince de Cont, a candi-
date for the throne Of Poland, to Dant-
zic. voyage fraught with danger, as
his vessel must pass through the wa
ters where were cruising the hostile
fleets Of the English and Dutch. Dur
ing the passage the little squadron was
chased by the enemy, and Bart, as
soon as they were reported, called his
little son to him and gave him whis-
pered instructions. The pursuit con-
tinued for eight hours, and at the end
of that time the enemy was no longer
In sight. Then Bart went down into
the cabin, where the prince had been
sitting in ignorance of the days ex-
citement.
you've had a narrow escape, mon
seigneur" said he.
What do you mean?" asked the
prince.
why" answered Bart, that we've
been chased by three eight-gun ships
and nine fr,gates. We've run them out
of sight, and there's nothing to fear"
But. M. Bart, If they had taken us?"
"Oh, monseigneur, that was quite
impossible"
"Eh! What? Why impossible?"
Because" answered Bart. II had
stationed my brave son, my Cornil. In
the gunroom with lighted match and
strict orders to put 1t into the powder
If we should be overpowered."
What" cried the prince. You
would never have done such thing"
Certainly I would have done IT."
said Bart. "It shall never be said that
1 allowed you to be taken when the
king ordered me to take care that you
were not"
Perhaps the prince himself might
have preferred prosaic surrender to
the doubtful glory Of being blown up.

GERMAN HUMoR.

Too Much Like Work to Be Joke.
A German was praising German hu-
NOR, says the Philadelphia Bulletin.
"I will describe a Joke" he said'
that the students are continually
playing in my country. You know
those underground, cool rooms-cei-
lars, rathskellers-where Germans go
at night to drink beer and converse
and hear music? Well, In such Gel
lars there is always an abundance OF
beautiful mugs to sell, and 1t is q
common thing for a gentleman, after
he has spent a subterranean evening"
to buy a mug and take 1t home with
him. When he does this the boss al
ways gives him a receipt.
Now comes the joke. Late at night
there walks out Of a rathskeller a
young man. The policeman on the
corner approaches him quietly, for ne
has something concealed In the breast
of his coat The coat Is buttoned over
something bulky.
Friend says the policeman, 'ex-
cuse me-
1.-THE young man gives a guilty
start.
"'Friend,' the policeman continues
you have just come out Of the raths-
keller, and you have something con-
cealed there in your breast. Your
coat is buttoned over 1t. What 1t Is
don't know, but 1t looks to me as II
1t might be a stein. I'll have to see It.
"The young man Is scared, and he
doesn't want to open his coat. The
policeman insists, though. and he has
to do 1t. Sure enough, he has been
walking off with stein.
"The policeman begins. I'll have to
arrest but the man says, Oh, hold
on: didn't steal this stein. l bought It,
IF you bought It, says the police
man. Show your receipt But the
young man can't find his receipt,
search his pockets as he will. So on
he Is marched to the police station,
and there he makes a great protesta-
ZION 10 the dSSeIIlDltu OliSidiS.
Here L. he says. was going peace
ably home from the rathskeller with
stein l. had bought. when this police
man comes up and arrests me for a
thief, Notwithstanding everything l
can say in my defense. 1t Is not right,
in free country like Germany, to
treat a man so.'
"The captain at the desk sneers.
eff you are innocent he says. If
you didn't steal this stein, show your
receipt
1.-The young man takes out his re-
ceipt and exhibits 1t quietly 1t Is cor
rect, authentic, beyond a shadow of
doubt And so the captain at the desk
has to apologize for the false arrest,
and the policeman has to be repri-
manded. The joker takes his stein
and goes away. His joke has succeed
ed we'll. German humor, believe me,
Is the best in the world"

any Mrs. Brown here"
why, you must have. for l just got

THr POLITICAL EcoNoMIsT.-John

cussing an English fnancier, says the

.'E.aidwood is an Illinois town, and l
passed my boyhood there. Marshall
Saunders had fine apiary. He raised
good bees and good honey. 1t was a
pleasure to visit his neat, well-painted
city OF hives.
Marshall had. an inquiring mind'
and he would sometimes ask himself
strange questions One OF the ques-
tions he continually asked himself was
this:
"'Have any right to rob these bees
of their honey"
And for a long time he could not
answer that question to his own salts
faction. Finally, though, he found an
answer, I heard him tell 1t to his
friends with pride.
"T used to feel mean he said. about
robbing the beehives, but after think
ing the matter over see now I'm In
the right. II 1t wasn't for me taking
the honey, all Of them bees would be
out Of work the whole Of next sum-

HIS LONE SAMPLE.-When James L.
Brady, the celebrated lawyer Of New
York, first opened a lawyers office he
took a basement room which had pre-
viously been occupied by cobbler. He
was somewhat annoyed, says the wri-
ter of Famous American Jurists," by
the previous occupants callers and ir-
ritated by the fact that he had but
few Of his own.
One day an Irishman entered.
"The cobbler's gone, / see.' he SAID
81 should think he had!" tartly res
ponded Brady.
And what do you sell?" asked Pad
DIV, looking at a few law books.
"Blockheads," responded Brady.
"Begorra," said the Irishman, we
must be doing a mighty fine business
Ye amt got but one left"
