COURTROOM oRAToRY PASSING

Inspiration is lost art in the court
room. Nowadays no true lawyer adj
vises, prepares documents or tries a
case without careful preparation.
Forensic oratory has passed away. No
longer does the crowd gather in the
county courthouse to listen to and be
moved by the wit, pathos and eloquence
of the advocate as for hours or days he
addresses the jury. The courtroom
may be filled, but it is largely with the
ubiquitous reporters, many of whom
are as destitute of tears as Sahara of
water and callous to emotion as the
mummied sleepers of Egypt No longer
is it true that weeping men and women
with handkerchiefs to their eyes are
moved by the eloquence of counsel
Rather may it more truly be said that
distant Texas and the far Pacific slope
hang breathlessly on the reporters i'm
agination and manufactured eloquence.
Time is a pressing factor. Facts rather
than eloquence is the demand.-At-
lantic.

an appetite for strong drink We all
know the effects of excess. 1t unbal-
ances the brain, squanders fortunes,
blights hopes, ruins homes, destroys
happiness and converts a kind nature
into that of a cruel monster.
Yet, in spite OF all this, we do not
profit by experience. The evil is al
lowed to increase. Why? Because there
is money in it. No kind of goods are
as easily initiated with base adultera-
lions. No business pays larger profits.
The places where 1t is retailed are part
of a political machine and look for
some benefit from the spoils. 1t is
often easy for those in this business
to get possession Of the property of
their patrons and a large part of their
incomes.
TT is as natural for a wet goods
merchant as for dry goods merchant
to try to increase his trade. Tempta-
tions are therefore being constantly
placed in the path of the weak and the
way OF the young to induce them to
acquire the drink habit Laws to pro-
tect minors and inebriates are being
constantly violated
The business of Christianity is to
protect and build up virtue The eff
feet of the liquor business is to tear it
down. Hence there is an inevitable
conflict between the two Every Chris
tian should therefore regard this soul
destroying traffic as an enemy to right
ousness which he should use every
honorable means to destroy.

Millionaire American Said

DIVORCE MAY FOLLOW
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALI.
PARIS, Nov. 1S.-Even jaded Paris
Is startled by rumor that links the
names of one of the most beautiful
and aristocratic women of England
and man who is cosmopolitan. NOT
only because he is known In ali the
capitals, but because he is one of the
wealthiest private individuals In the
world.
This rumor, which is whispered only
in the exclusive clubs, the fashionable
boudoirs and the embassies, dares to
add that the lady's husband, an English
peer, who took her to wife fourteen
years ago, will sue for divorce and
make the multi millionaire the CO.
respondent. Should he bring the suit
1t will eclipse in sensational effect here.
in London and in New York the reveIa.
ton that the Duke and Duchess of
Marlborough are to be divorced.
He who may be correspondent in this
newest scandal has been a Widower for
some years and draws tremendous
income from real estate in New York
and has investments in London Both
his children have married within re-
cent years and both matches, which
turned out most happily. apparently
were made against his wishes. Never
before has scandal attacked him. AL
though he has been industriously
courted and fiattered, 1t has seemed
since his lovely wife's death that his
love for woman was buried in New
York.
This Croesus, who has dabbled in
politics and literature. has long made
his residence outside of America He
owns one of the most noted mansions
in England, full of historic memories
The lady in the case is a Countess
Her husband takes for his title the
name of a county In the north Of Eng.
land. For the last two years she has
rented country house near the mil
loinaire's English residence, but lately
she gave it up and is now living at a
quiet watering place.
The peer. who is said to threaten a
divorce suit, has visited America Like
his father before him, he is very fond
of hunting, racing, shooting and sports
of all kinds. Two sons and two daugh-
ters have blessed his union with the
Countess.

DOOM
OF MANY CITIES
Eastern Man Foretells the
Destruction of Largest
Municipalities in World
is COMING
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SPEClAl1 DISPAICH To The CALL.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 1S.-Twenty-
nine of the largest cities of the world
are doomed. Earthquake, flood and
fire. wfff-wreak the vengeance OF God
on the cities and their inhabitants
within the next twenty four months.
This wholesale destruction is to be Gods
judgment on four nations. The doomed
cities in this country are:
New York, Albany, Buffalo, Detroit,
Lansing, Boston, Philadelphia, Wash
ington, Richmond, Lebanon, Penn;
Pfttsburg, Columbus, Indianapolis, Gin
cinnati, Louisville, Nashville, Muske-
gon, Milwaukee, Chicago, st. Louis,
Hanover, No.; ST. Joseph, No., Omaha,
ST. Paul, Minneapolis and Denver.
This is the prophecy of Edmund
Scribner Stevens, ~ years old, who is a
prognosticator of events and an as
trologer of no mean ability. For more
than twelve years Stevens has been an
ardent student of the history of the
world. Since last May he claims to
have been the recipient of telepathic
messages and to have made several
true prophecies. Stevens said Today:
The world is in the throes of an up
heaval which will eventually right the
hearts and make the North Pole north
and the South Pole south, instead of
having the earth's axis on slant.
That upheaval will cause food, fire and
earthquake. Most of the large cities
of the world are going to suffer and
some of them will be destroyed.
Within the next two years twenty
six cities within the United States. and
London, Paris and Rome will be de-
stroyed.
New York City will be swallowed
in the gaping NAV of an earthquake
crack Lake Michigan is going to
swell up, hold an overflow meeting in
both Chicago and Milwaukee, and will
not be content to just meet, but will
take Chicago and her sister city back
into the hole with her."

"HAYsTACK WITH A HISTORY,
Rev. Mr.. Burlingame breaches ON the
Beginning OF Foreign Missions

Rev George E. Burlingame preached
at the First Baptist Church yesterday
morning on the theme, "a Haystack
with a History" taking as his text Acts
1910: And when we had seen the Wis
ion straightway we sought to go forth
into Macedonia, concluding that God
had called us to preach the Gospel
unto them"
POLITICALLY the United States be-
came a world power IN 1885," said the
pastor "Religiously the nation entered
into that larger relation nearly a cen
fury earlier as the result of a prayer
meeting by college students under a
haystack one rainy day in the year
1906, at williamstown, Mass. Five
young men, forever enshrined in the
history of the missionary enterprise,
were wont to meet weekly for prayer,
and on this rainy day they were driven
to take refuge under a convenient
haystack While there the conversa-
ton turned upon the moral darkness
of Asia, and one of the party proposed
that they undertake a mission to the
heather.
To-day there stands on the spot a
fitting monument, inscribed with the
names of these five young men who
gave the initial impulse to American
foreign missions: Samuel J. Mills.
James Richards, Francis l.. Robbins,
Harvey LOOMS anu byTdn Green. Two
years later some of these youths, to-
gether with others whom they had in
terested, signed a compact to effect
in. the persons of its members a mis-
sion or missions TO the heathen,' each
of them pledging himself to hold him
self in readiness to go on mission
when and where duty may CALL
shortly after this memorial was
presented to the Massachusetts
churches requesting them to under
take foreign mission work, and there
followed the organization of the
American Board of Commissioners for
Foreign Missions in 1910 and the Amer
lean Baptist Missionary Union in 1914
When we consider what mighty forces
these two societies have been in the
conversion of the heather world, we
are moved to exclaim: What hath God
wrought
1.-THE crying need of our churches
today is for the investment of per-
sonality in the enterprise of evan
gelization. Money is needed. talent is
needed, material equipment is needed.
But beyond all else there is needed the
spirit OF the five college boys who. a
hundred years ago, put all of life and
it's possibilities in the hands of God
and sought to realize His will in them
selves and in the world"

WOULD We CRUC|FY
THE SAVIOR?
Rev. Frank Ford Makes
the Question Topic of Ser
mon at Christian Church
NOVEL Z STAND TAKEN

Rev. Frank S. Ford, pastor of the
First Christian Church of San Francis
co, startled his audience last night by
stating that in his opinion if Christ
were TO come into the world today with
his teachings his life would be taken as
1t was on the cross. Rev. Mr.. Ford be-
lieves that so out of place would the
Savior be in modern civilization that he
would not be tolerated. He would be,
as it We're, wrong cog in the social
wheel, and would have to be removed
before the wheel could run in the way
desired by society.
The subject of Rev. Mr.. Ford's SER
mon last night, delivered in New Era
Hall Market street, near Church, was,
IF Jesus Were Tried for His Life in
San Francisco" The pastor attempted
to show how man objects to anything
that will upset his prevailing condi-
tions, and he assumed that the condi-
lions of our times would not admit of
the strict application of Christ's teach
ings without upsetting the whole
scheme of society.
IF Jesus Christ were tried for his
life in San Francisco, what would we
do with him?" began the preacher.
Jesus is on trial in every age. Our
problems must be solved with him or
against him. When he is cast aside in
our mode of life he is crucified afresh.
Two things must be considered in the
discussion of this topic. The first is
the fate of the righteous in an un-
righteous world, and the second is the
righteousness of Jesus and what would
be done with that kind of man If he
lived in San Francisco.
when Jesus was tried and con-
demned it was because he claimed
righteousness, and what he claimed to
be righteousness was not so regarded
in his time. The priesthood faced just
this: Either they must have their whole
system changed or dispose of this man.
They combated him with disapproba-
ton, and then with misrepresentation
Finally they resorted to death"
The speaker then proceeded to ana
lyZe Christ's righteousness, and showed
how he applied it and how 1t was re-
ceiyed by the people of those times in
which he took part
'If he were living in San Francisco
today what would we do with such a
mann" continued Mr.. Ford IF it were
left to us to decide between existing
systems and the life of a man, what
would be our decision? Either the peo-
pie would have to kill him or have
everything subject to his will"
The pastor pointed odt that If Christ
were here he v ould have decided views
on every question that concerns us, and
would not only speak out plainly con-
corning Them but would back UP his
expressions with action. The discourse
was closed with the statement that as
Jesus would interfere with the selfish
interests of men, they would sacrifice
him in order to be allowed to proceed

WHY SAILORS WEAR BLACK TIES

1t is not generally known that Mel
sons death was the origin of the black
silk handkerchief which the sailor
wears under his broad blue collar.
tied in a loose knot in front The scarf
or handkerchief was first worn as
mourning for the great admiral and by
some means or other it was retaine ed
and eventually became a part of the
naval mans uniform. The white stripes
around the broad blue collar are unin-
telligible to the average individual, but
they have very significant meaning.

JEWS IN PALEsrINE

One of the most arresting features of
the heavy exodus from Russia is the
large number of those who are making
for Palestine. According to reports
from Odessa, every ship bound for Tur-
key carries a hundred Jewish families
from different parts of the empire TO
Palestine. There can now, in spite of
the exodus of those who have failed. be
little short of 100000 Jews in the Holy
