the text was taken from Proverbs, 1:21
Il called and he refused; / stretched
out my hand and no man regarded"
Evangelist Hobson said: "One way
to miss heaven is to wear your religion
as a Sunday garment. tucking it into
your put-away box after the service
until the following Sunday.
Religion is something to be used
every day. Just keep on the way you
are and you will miss heaven. If you
have not been born again you are not
above the brute creation. Christ is the
door and you have to know the pass
word. You might stand in front of
lodge room and see others pass in, but
If you do not know the password the
guardian will refuse you admission.
The easiest thing in the world to do to
miss heaven is just sit and do nothing
and you will miss it. The devil lures
people to miss heaven, and you don't
have to scream or swear to do it,
Special music was furnished at the
meeting last night by a trio from the
Sunbeam chorus and solos by R. M.
Jeffrey. The Germain singers will be
present tonight

principal officers Of the Equitable Life
Assurance society have signed petit
tion to the board Of directors urging
them to use their influence toward
bringing about great change in the
organization.
The action urged is a grant to the
policy holders of the right to vote for
directors-in other words, to transfer
control from the stockholders to the
assured.
At the last meeting of the directors
the subject was discussed and is under
stood to have beer supported by
President James w. Alexander. Con-
sderation was postponed until the
next meeting, which will be held on
Wednesday, The petition has mean
while been signed.
The Equitable Life although its as
surance is conducted on the mutual
plan, under the laws which regulate
such concerns. is controlled by the
stockholders of the corporation, which
was founded by the late Henry B.
Hyde. The capital stock is only $780,
000 of which 81 per cent is controlled
by the Hyde estate. President Alex
ander is a trustee of the latter and the
founders son, James H. Hyde, is vice
president of the society.
According to it's last statement the
society had assets of $413, 900. The
outstanding assurance amounts ito
nearly one and one-half billions of dol
lars.
Consent Of those interested in the

Men That Crucified Christ" From the
text, Matt, 1914, Judas Iscariot, who
also betrayed him."
The speaker said: 1.-THE twelve dis
ciples whom Jesus called represented
types of human character. Peter was
the first one called and Judas the last
OF the twelve. The first denied him and
the last betrayed him. That one of the
twelve should have been a traitor
seems incredible in the face of Christ's
teachings and example. Judas had en-
joyed the society of the master and
had familiar intercourse with him, but
in the end this man came to betray
and cruelty Christ, for it was not the
Roman soldiers or even the Jews who
hated him. Judas was the first real
agent. Sin gave him the impulse and
impelled him on to do the deed
How did his downfall come about?
Perhaps from an inordinate love of
money or possibly disappointed ambi-
tions. In the end his awful step may
have been due to a refusal to accept
opportunity. When Jesus asked,
friend from wherefore art thou come
he might have repented and been saved
had he taken advantage of the op-
portunity.
"You men who are before me tonight
have your opportunity. Beware lest
you fail to grasp it,"

WANTED IN PHILADELPHIA
Owen Kelley Missing Since October,
1904

BY Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 13.-Chief of
Detectives Donaghy received a tele-
gram from the chief of police of Los
Angeles today asking il Owen Kelley
was wanted in Philadelphia. Chief
Donaghy replied that he was. This is
all the information that the police Of
this city have with reference to the
probable arrest of Kelley.
A lawyer of this city, who is a friend
of Owen Kelley's family, also received
word from Los Angeles saying that
Kelley was in that city. The family will
await further particulars before TAX
ing any action in the matter.
Owen Kelley, who was in the whole
sale grocery business in this city, dis
appeared from Philadelphia on October
25, 1904, after attending a meeting of
the board of directors of the Conti-
mental Trust company. Since that time
no trace of him has been found by the
family until the receipt of today's
telegram from Los Angeles. Little is
known of the condition of his affairs
in this city, but a cousin in New York
city has brought action to recover
about $4,000 which he alleges Kelley
had failed to account for.

CORPS OF WORKERS ACTIVE
Penitent Led to Altar at First Meth
odist Church

The meeting at the First Methodist
church last night was filled with the
same enthusiasm that has prevailed
through all sessions held there DR..
Chapman conducted the general meet
ing but the work Of the after meeting
was left to Rev. Mr.. Thompson, who
is his chief assistant in personal work.
Mr.. Thompson opened the meeting by
asking the people to sing some of the
oldest of the revival hymns and he
went from one to another and then
back to the first until every one was
swept into line and compelled to take
up the refrain.
While this meeting was in progress
corps of almost fifty church workers
was addressing postal cards and en-
velops to those who have signed cards
during the campaign, inviting them to
special meeting to be held on Friday
night in the Temple auditorium.
DR.. Chapman's text was taken from
II Samuel, 2:1S. And David said unto
Nathan, I have sinned against the
Lord. And Nathan said unto David,
liN i@Oi u ehiSO Hdtii PuI away lily SlllSs
thou shalt not die."
"A Broken Hearted Man" was the
subject and the speaker divided it
into three parts, "a Great Sin," "A
Great Repentance" and "A Great For
giveness."
Can you think why it was a great
sin that David committed?" said he.
1T was great because his sin against
the light which he had. The greater
the man the greater the sin. The great
er the position the man has, the great
er should be his influence. The greater
the opportunities God has given him
and the greater Instructions he has re-
ceived, the greater will be his con-
demnation.
IF you want to know what kind of
a repentance David had, read the 51st
Psalm. which he wrote after his con-
fession.
Can you give me a definition of re-
pentance? One man says, Being
sorry for your SINS Not at all, being
sorry for your sins will not do. An
other says, 'remorse,' but that it not
repentance. You might have a dull,
flinty kind of feeling called remorse.
but that could never be repentance. /
will tell you what 1t is. Repentance
means TO turn away from your sins,
and the man who has reached the place
where he is willing to turn away from
his sins, that very moment he has re-
pented of his sins. And something
else: it means to have in our hearts
a new nature and the hope of the life
to come"

prayers are usually observed or not,
they will be said all day. In all the

the state of his AFFAIRS there.
Jeky and Hide Case
According to dispatches from the east
Mr.. Hyde. An active church worker,
leader in the cause Of temperance, a
director in the Continental Trust COM
pany, where he had the handling Of
thousands of dollars of other peoples
money, he was respected by all his
character
The other side is not so pleasing. 1t
is alleged that at the same time he was
talking temperance he was the silent
partner in large saloon; while he was
working in the church, he also spent
much of his time in the haunts of out
casts and criminals; when his friends
handed him large sums of money to be
held in trust he speculated on the stock
exchange with it.
The case has produced several SEN
sations, and more than once men have
claimed to know where he was and
offered to take him back to Philadel-
phia for rewards ranging from $500 to
$4,000.
1t has developed that the Los An
Geles police knew of Kelley's presence
in this city at least twenty-four hours
before he was caught. Accounts of the
search for the missing man were print
ed, but as he did not read the papers
he had no idea that his presence in Los
Angeles had been suspected.
