MACHINE TALKS TO SINNERS.
PennsyIvania Avenue Mission Has
Valuable Mechanical Assistant.

''Rehglon-he some time be tin can
too" is what an Eskimo told the
members of a Christian mission in the
far North, who were compelled TO depend
upon canned goods almost wholly, aEc
the idea, so naively suggested, has beer
employed by Pennsylvania avenue re-
ligious association with startling results
For they have canned all the beauti-
full old-tlme hymns, and every night a
mammoth graphophone shouts out IS
words OF cheer to sinners who pass with
in a block Of the place. 1t is an improve
ment on the idea used in elections. and
that it is highly successful is the testi-
mony OF the people in the local mission.
The records consist Of nearly all the
hymns that might appeal TO and be re-
membered by the Tecalcitrant one who
has tried to evade the straight and mar
row path, and there are few evenings
that the song Of the machine does not
recall childhood days TO some passer-by
who stops and listens. After "a crowd
has been attracted by means Of the big
horn on the talking machine. songs are
discarded. and some well-knOwn worker,
who may be hundreds Of miles away, eX-
horts mis- hearers to remember the faith.
Every evening the meetings following the
graphophone concerts are followed by ses-
sions Inside which are well attended, and
where the workers come into personal
contact with the strayed ones, with the
result that the reports OF he mission
show excellent work is being accom-
plished.
