MINNEAPOLIS CHURCHES AND THEIR WORK FOR. Goo

present time. The bill just passed by
the French senate provides that here.
after the church and the state shall
be separate. The government now
wants a free church and free state;
wants religious conditions about as
they are in this country. The bill
provides for freedom of religious
thought and action, with such restric.
lions as will preserve public order and
religious life of France.
For some little time past, France has
been coming to the present situation.
1t will be remembered some time ago
the trouble over the closing of the
church schools. It has all worked up
to the enactment by the senate of the
new law for religious freedom.

RELIGIOUS BOOKS
IN GREAT DEMAND.
CHAPMAN CAMPAIGN AROUSED
INTEREST IN READING.
Public Library Experiences Rush for
Religious Works That Is Convincing
!. Evidence of widespread Effect of
Revival Campaign-Are Examples of
Best Literature.

Minneapolis is doing some serious
reading since the Chapman meetings.
This is the statement that is made by
the circulation department of the pub
lie library, which always has it's finger
on the pulse Of the reading public and
can tell in a moment what sort of lit
erature is popular at any time
Books on religious subjects which for
years have been waiting in vain, on the
library shelves for readers, have been
called for, and in some cases the de-
mand for them is so great that reserva-
tions are made far ahead. The sudden
call for these books puzzled the depart
ment at first, but little questioning
of subscribers solved the. mystery.
They were interested in religious sub
'jects, history, biography. and philoso-
ply, thru the meetings, and wished to
find the books that would give them
still more, information.
The same demand for religious books
and books of Bible history has been
noted in the branches. Readers who
drop into the reference reading rooms
| have called for the same sort of read
ing and have in many cases followed
| d SySCS1udIlC COuISe OlszSCuuy. 1 uc dG-
tendant in the library branch in the
the Salvation Army building also noted
the demand for religious and biblical
/ literature on the part of the patrons
of the branch and reading room.
| Two books that have been called fol
more than any others perhaps, are Van
dykes ''The Gospel for an Age Of
Doubt" and "The Gospel for Worlc
of SIM" by the same author. Since
the meeting there has been constant
call for these books and cards have
been reserved for them. The other his
Itorical and biographical works, espe
cially lives Of Christ and Of the Apostle
Paul, have been much soughtlfor. Com
:mentaries and reference books for. Bibl
study and reading have been frequent
ly called for.
/ Outside the religious aspect of thu
movement toward this class Of reading
is the value of much Of the work al
literature. Literary authorities .agre,

SENTENCE SERMONS
Weeds are a call to work.

Weeds are call to work.
Heaven is either now or never.
Tact is touching with love.
!.
The immovable hearts move the world.
The blue heart always has a black sky.
!.
s The losses of truth are more profitable
than the gains Of trickery.
The empty faith is usually made of
brass.
The devil is always willing to play
dead in a war Of words.
j.
The only work without honor is that
which helps no one.
You cannot look constantly on dirt and
keep your windows free from dust.
One does not get welded to truth by
flirting with doubt.
!.
Many a deacon who is long on coat
tails will be found short on wings.
Nowhere does money create a more
mirage than in moral
desert.
He is blessed with fortune who has
learned to bear misfortune.
A man who is honest for policy will
be dishonest for promotion.
A loving heart is like summers day:
1t never needs to advertise itself.
It's no sign that you will get alone
with the angels because no one can gel
along with you here.
Many of us want God with a keer
ear for our prayers and a dull eye for oul
practices.

MIR, AND MRS. ASHER
~ TALK TO PRISONERS
Their Work In New Jersey Is Attract
ing Much Attention.

Mr.. and Mrs. William Asher, the sa-
loon evangelists who are working with
DIR. j. Wilbur Chapman in New Jersey,
are seemingly causing more of a stir in
the east than they did here.
Recent reports tell Of meeting they
= conducted in the first criminal court at
Jersey City. The prisoners were the
ordinary morning crowd that one sees
in a police court. Men with bruised
and battered faces, much the"worse for
drink.
After singing two hymns in which the
shrill voices of the women prisoners
could be heard above the rest and in
-voking blessing on the prisoners Mrs.
Asher began her address, taking for her
sermon the text: "The Lord and King
sayeth: %, be ye reconciled to God! -
am here this morning to talk to
you men and women who have been
incarcerated behind the bars on the
that if you would accept the spirit OF
God you would all be free, as the Lord

TORREY SUMMONS ALL
EVANGELISTs TO MEET
Noted Speaker and Mr.. Alexander Will
Conduct Revival in Chicago.

Fresh from their labors in Europe,
where they attracted the. attention Of
the entire world by their great evange-
hstic work, DR.. r. A. Torrey and
Charles M. Alexander will open a series
of meetings at the Chicago Avenue
church, Chicago, Wednesday, Dec. a..
Great preparations are being made for
this midwinter evangelistic and soul
winning conference, and Mr.. Torrey
believes great good will result. In a
letter he. says:
We have been rejoiced to hear of
such abundant signs Of blessing thru
out our country in recent years, but
we are praying and looking for greater
things. It has seemed to us that if we,
whom God has called into evangelistic
work, could meet together for confer
ence and especially for prayer, it would
mean much to the kindom, so I invite

TO PERPETUATE THE
WORK OF: DR.. CHAPMAN
YOUNG PEOPLE PLAN CONTINUAL
TIoN, OF CAMPAIGN.
Christian Endeavor and Sister Societies
Will Push Personal Work Along
Plans Suggested by Noted Evangelist
May Hold Street and Tent Meet
ings in Summer.

A meeting was held at the Y. NJ.
G.. A.. recently, by sixteen persons, rep
resenting the Christian Endeavor City
Union, the Epworth League, the Baptist
Young Peoples Union and the Congre-
gational Young Peoples Union.
The meeting was held simply to fol-
low out the request Of DR.. j. Wilbur
Chapman, the evangelist, who met twice
with representa- of these organiza-
tions to advise them in regard to plans
for a campaign Of evangelization to be
continued by the young people,
DR.. Chapman recommended that the
individual members of each society be
urged to do continuous personal work
in their respective denominations; that
weaker churches where the young
people are not organized be invited and
helped when possible and that the city
missions be made special objects of
interest and assistance.
At the meeting preliminary steps
were taken to begin an active campaign
for good in the directions suggested by
DR.. Chapman and before long it is be
lieved the young people will be making
themselves a power in the church work
Of the city.
Summer Meetings.
A further plan which DR.. Chapman
suggested and which is hoped to carry
out, is interdenominational work by
the young people during the summer
months in the holding Of street and
| tent meetings in such parts of the city
as do not seem to be thoroly reached
| by the churches. The idea is not to
| multiply organizations, but to federate
interests. and to promote interdenOml'
natinal cooperation and goodfellowshiI
in every way possible.
| To the better carry out DR.. Chap
man s desires, special evangelistic
committee is to be added to the Chris
tian Endeavor City Union s committee
Several young men are already arrang
ing to hold evangelistic services with
out the aid of any pastor, in some Of
the weaker churches.
Report to DR.. Chapman. a
In compliance with DR.. Chapman 4
request, letter is to be sent to hin
every two weeks reporting results o,
the work Of the young people, and h
has promised to freely give his advic.
i'll all matters concerning the goot
work. 4
It may be of interest to note tina
DR.. Chapman is himself an activ
Christian Endeavorer.. He is enthusi
astic over evangelistic work in all youn,
i people, societies, as he regards the in
fuence of such efforts as Of suprem
value. He has intimate acquaintanc
, with the work of the Christian En-
} deavor unions in Chicago, Baltimore
Boston, New York and other larg
cities, and has stated that the Mime
apolis Christian Endeavor union j
. doing more effective work than an
other of which he has knowledge.
This is a high tribute to T. H. Co
well and his associates, and is of spe
, cial interest at this time when sue
), large things are being planned by tn
Christian Endeavorers and their fou
sister societies in Minneapolis.
