The Future of the Airship.

An airship inventor, who recently
sailed the first airship over New York
successfully, confesses frankly the
shortcomings of his invention and ac-
knowledges that it could never be
adapted for carrying passengers nor
for express service. The only CONNER
cial value for an airship is for exhibit
ton purposes, and the day of practical
flying machines is still far distant.

ALMOST, BUT LOST
Subject of Sermon by DR.. William
e. Biederwolf Last
Evening
ON QUESTION OF SALVATION
Makes Preliminary Reference to ReIi.
gion of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
With Drawn Sword.

DR.. Biederwolf devoted a few min
utes in his meeting last evening to
showing the difference between the
Christian religion and the Mohamma-
dan, as regards its invitation to one out
side to accept its teachings. He said
that the principle of the Mohammedan
TO secure converts was to threaten.
| IF you don't become a MOhammedan, we
will kill you" The invitation extend
ed by Christ, as shown in the bible is,
Come now, and let us reason togeth-
err" DR.. Biederwolf spoke of the rea-
sons briefly and declared that when a
man really conscientiously weighs the
subject, he finds that he has abSo-
lutely no reason for not becoming a
Christian.
Answering the frequently heard
question, "Why does not God save
men whether they will be saved or
not?" the evangelist said, IF God
should do that, you would make of
heaven another hell, and there could
be no heaven and no hell. If you have
no desire to be saved. you could not
find heaven. for it is the place of sat
isfied desire"
Speaking of the amount of persua-
sion necessary to bring men to Christ,
he asked. do men need another con-
science TO convict them, another mind
to reason, do they require another
Christ. another Gethsemene, and an
other Calvary. before they will be con
vinced?"
Almost Persuaded.
The service was brief. DR.. Bieder
VOLTS subject for the evening was the
text, almost thou persuadest me to
be a Christian the remark of the
king, Agrippa, to Paul when the apostle
tried to show the king the error of his
life Dr. Biederwolf divided his ser
mon into three parts, discussing the
meaning OF being a Christian, the
amount of persuasion that should be
required. and the Interpretation of the
word. almost" ITO be a Christian
means that you gain a new relation 10
God said DR.. Biederwolf. Jesu;
Christ he pointed out to be the great
est revelation God ever gave of him
self, and he showed how it is impossi-
Bile 10 be a Christian without belief in
Christ
He defined the difference between
the Christian, and the man not saved
as being the difference between "a sin
ner at home with the Lord. and the
sinner away from home. wandering on
the hills and i'll the fields
The life on this earth is merely one
long call TO come to God" he said. He
held that the Christian comes into a
new relation, not only to God and
Jesus Christ, but into a new relation
with his fellow man THE man who
is not doing all he can TO bring his
fellow man to Christ. is not only rob-
bling himself; he rObs his fellow man,
and he robs his God" said the evan
gelist. You can not escape the re-
sponsibility placed on you for the spir-
itual life of Others"

an obligation that the city was suffer

committee appointments at the annual
meeting of the municipal assembly last
evening, but that he did so was appar-
