REACHES THE CHILDREN
Rev. @. T. Schaeffer Knows How
Appeal to Them. 49,

Over one thousand children heard
Rev. G. T. Schaeffer g graphic talk on
"Habits' at Wesley M. E. church yes
terday afternoon. This was the first
Of series Of meetings for children to
be conducted by Mr.. Schaeffer at Wes-
ley church in connection with the Chap
man campaign. "1..-@. y.
Mr.. schaeffer is to children, in a re-.
ligious way, what the late Eugene Field
was to them in literature. When he
assembled the platform he looked over
as bright and responsive congrega-
tion Of ten or eleven hundred as ever
gathered in Minneapolis. Tots years
old-there was only sprinkling Of
grown-ups-and larger ones up to l6,
with every month and year interven-
ing represented, were there, expectant
and critical, as all children are.
A volunteer choir of eighteen BOYS
and twenty-five girls was called for,
! and there were more volunteers by half
! than were needed. "
The announcements Of the other
meetings of the week were all made
in "a way attractive to the children.
The talk on Tuesday was to be of e.
Worthless Book that would contain
four chapters, and not one word. This
was mystifying., The one on Wednes-
day would be about kites, kites of all
nations and how to fly them. The boy
bringing the greatest number of other
boys with him would be presented with
a kite if one were purchasable. This
was exciting to the boys. Thursday
it would be dolls, and dolls of all kinds
would be used to illustrate the talk; I;
and the girl bringing the greater num-
Der of new girl recruits to that meet
ing would have DOLL This was bliss
full to the girls. s--.,. 49,. ...:s ....
The talk on .t.Habits,'' the current
afternoon subject, was effectively illus.
trated by the use of boy from the
audience, some thread, string, rope and
piece of chain. The speaker imi
tated in funny way the first attempt
of boy to make and smoke cigaret
behind the woodshed; with an explana
tion Of how the habit grows, and by
means Of the thread wound about the
body and arms of the boy on the plat
form, the ease with which that or any
other habit may be broken in the be
ginning. Then, with the twine, rope
and chain which was wound in turr
about the boy, was shown how much
stronger the habit grows and how, i'm
possible to break it's fetters without
the help of God. In this way the chill
dren's reason and understanding was
appealed to, and in way that wa.
direct, pathetic and humorous.
Miss Bertha Chapman, daughter o1
DR.. J. Wilbur Chapman, sang, "Wa.
That Somebody You?o and was ap
plauded enthusiastically. A hymn by
the children and prayer by DR.. Stan
ley B. Roberts concluded the services.

RECALLS THEIR MOTHERS
Mrs. Emeline J. Hoyt Moves Men at
Saloon Meeting.

Burlie & Lindstrom saloon was
given up to prayer services for time
last evening. The Washington avenue
liquor shop was filed with men who
gave evidence of the ravages Of sin.
Most of the listeners were Of the type
that frequents Salvation Army head,
quarters and the several missions. At
the conclusion Of his service Rev: Will
liam Asher introduced Mrs. Emehne j.:
Hoyt, one of the leaders Of the Friends ,
society. She represented the mothers
whom each man had known at home.
Mr.. Asher said: "This is dear old
lady, and, boys, while you listen, ! want
you to think about that old mother of
yours. Let this woman be the personifi-
cation Of the one woman in the world
who loves you with her whole heart
and whose love you can bank on just
as long as you Hve.' -.. =, .
"Yes, I am going to pray for you, -
said Mrs. Hoyt. ~ am going. to pray
for you just as your mother, if she is
alive, prays every day of her life. But,
before I begin, want to ask how many
men here are willing to put up their
hands before this company and ask
prayer.' -... '-.
There we're many responses. -

Features Of Campaign.
The meeting concluded with an ex-
believed to be the features of the cam
paign. He said the work was threefold.
!'First, he explained, comes the pre-
! paratory work to the visit Of the evan
gelists. That has been well looked af-
ter here. Second, comes the work of the
evangelists in the city. That is now un-
portant Of all, is the continued work
to be kept up after the evangelists
leave The evangelists only stir up the
people to their spiritual duty. If the
clergy and churchworkers do not keep
up the work with visitations and invi-
4tations to the churches, the people will
soon forget and fall back into their old
ways. -

Fowler M. E. church was crowded
and great choir sang the hymns in a
way which thrilled the audience. Rev.
DR.. Taylor spoke on Covering Sin. 8
His text was g He that covereth his sins
shall not prosper; but .Whosoever con-
fesseth and forsaketh them shall have
mercy -
All thru the scripture, 9 said the
speaker, Hmen are addressed as sin
ners, lost and needing Christ. Jesus
addressed men as lost and said he had
come to save the lost. All human ex-
perience corroborates this view. The
greatest sin is not drunkenness or mur-
der, but the sin of unbehef. The atti-
tude of the man toward Jesus Christ
condemns him. All men seek to cover
sin, some by blaming others, some by
special acts of charity, forgetting that
if the heart is not right the life cannot
I be. What is man to do with sins He
that confesseth and forsaketh shall have
mercy. God is willing to forgive. Christ
stands ready to. blot out sin. The only
| way to cover sin so that it shall not ap

An unusually large audience FOR Mon

A general talk followed .on the de-
tails Of the work in the various dis

Rev. Stanley B. Roberts thought the
personal workers should be given more
Of an opportunity. "I think the work
ers should have a chance to clinch the
good decisions Of those who become con.
verts,' he said. "The conyerts should
be followed up by the workers and their
souls made secure for the kingdom OF
God.o This led to discussion Of the
signing Of cards.

At the Fay. Y Opera +

The people of Virginia will have
an opportunity during the week be-
ginning May 10Th of seeing in their
own town the popular comedian
Tom Marks, who has been drawing
large audiences at the Metropolitan
Theatre, Duluth, and the "Grand"
at Superior. Mr.. Marks is just re-
turning from tour of the far west
where he played to crowded houses.
The entire trip was great success
from every point of view. The four
Marks com panies, of which Tom
Marks heads NumberOne company,
have for four years been among the
most popular organizations play
ing in the east. Tom Marks has
made his great success in Irish
Comedy and it is in such roles that
he will appear during his engage
ment here. Off the stage Mr.. Marks
has the reputation of being a
thoroughly good fellow. Big and
genial, he makes friends wherever
he goes, and always receives a
hearty greeting on return engage
ment. He is great horseman, and
a dog fancier and always has one
of the best of the latter with him,
his latest being Bustor whose
picturesque contenances adorns
the billboards beside that of the
jovial Tom himself. Bustor is a
very important member of the COM
pany. The plays in which Mr.. Marks
will be seen during his stay here
are new and original. Most of them
were by Mr.. Marks himself or were
written for him. He has with him
very strong supporting company,
several of the members of which
have been with him for years. A
feature of the Marks performances
is that there are no waits between
acts, all the time being filled in
with polite vaudeville. There are
some very clever speciality people
with the company. During; the en-
gagement here the bill will be
Changed nightly and Wednesday
and Saturday matinees will be
given.

New Locomotives.

The Duluth & Iron Range road
has received two of the nine new
locomotives that it is to receive
from the shops this season, and two
others are now north of Chicago on
their way to Two Harbors. The
locomotives weigh 10000 pounds,
and are somewhat larger than any
now in service on the Iron Range.
The cylinders are 22x28 inches.
