UNREASONABLE SIN
 DR. HENRY'S THEME
An Earnest Appeal Yesterday to the Young People of the City.

\ union young peoples meeting held in Central church was addressed by Dr. Henry at ; D. n. yesterday.
 Never before in the history of Phoe- nix has there been such meeting and it proved that there is great interest being manifested in the salvation of the youth of the city.
 Sunday school teachers were there with their pupils and parents with their children. Fifty-three made pub lie confession of faith in Jesus.
 The auditorium of Central church could not accommodate the people who wished to hear pr. Henry preach upon the "Unpardonable Sin" last evening.
 Dr. Henry never made a more earn est and able appeal 10 the unconN erted than when he assured them that while they had the least desire to seek Christ they had not committed the unpardon- able sin but he warned them that when the day of opportunity has passed they are lost for eternity.
 Several went forward signifying by so doing their intention to become Christians.
 Dr. Henry proved by his audience that nearly all Christians are convert ed before reaching the age of twenty.

LOVING TRIBU1t OF
 BORROWING FRIENDS
Funeral of Miss Flora Mills Yesterday Was Largely Attended.

The funeral of Miss Flora L. Mills was held yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock in the Presbyterian church and was attended bv large gathering of friends for there was no more widely known young woman in this city and none knew her but to love and respect her The services were simple but most impressive and had been arrang- ed as nearly as possible in accordance with her wishes or sentiments she had been known to express to friends
 The caslet. or couch. as that partic- ular type k most frequently referred to. was of snowy whiteness and was banked with the floral offerings of mourning friends. for her life had been one of simplicity and devoted to useful emplofment. In the wealth of roses that adorned her peaceful resting place. not single petal was the offer ing of convention. and every fragrant odor was the incense of affection the world instinctively tenders to the memory of good woman. Not one token however beautiful. but that in the heart of the donor seemed mex pressiblv weak for the fulfillment of its mission.
 The sermon was preached by Rev. H. M. Campbell. pastor of the church. It was a forceful message to the living in the presence of the dead. breathing a Christian sympathy for the bereaved and the Christians hope for all who cleave to the Christian faith. Tt is evident. said the minister. that if every friend who wished might drop a rose upon the bier. she would sleep meath a wilderness of flowers" but after all that would be only an express sion of sympathy. most cOmmendable in the hour of affliction. but alone un- satisfying in this world and intellectual as the means of gaining eternal life and Happiness beyond the grave. Dur ing the service Abide With Me" was sung by a quartet; Asleep in Jesus ' by Mrs. L. D. Dameron. and at the con- clusion. God Be With You" by the quartet. these hymns having been fla vorites of the deceased.

GENITAL N. E. CHURCH.

At the Central Methodist church yesterday morning. the pastor took for his text the J1th verse of the 9th chap
 ter of Luke. Lord. I will follow Thee whithcrsocver Thou goest." Said the speaker: "I like the ring of these words. they ring like true metal. They mean conseCration. self-sacrifice. true courage"
 Briefly the speaker related the cir cumstances under which the words vf
 the text were spoken. How that Jesus had gone into a Samaritan village late in the afternoon. desiring entertain- ment for the night but met with a flat refusal from all-they said. He can't stay here" X practical application was made of this fact This is just what many. many men and women In
 Phoenix are saying to Jesus right now. YOU cant stay with me- Jesus says. Behold. I stand at the door and knock but you do not let Him in.
 Note this fact. when they shut their doors on Him He went to another vii lage. When we refuse to open OFT hearts to Him. He passes on and thA time will come when He will knock at our hearts for the last time.
 As the Master was leaving this v.i- lage which had rejected Him, one man vent up to Him in the way and sat !. Lord. l will follow Thee whitherso.vsr Thou goest." What do these words re- veal to us as to the makeup of tr'is man? They tell US that he was man of courage. It takes courage to de clare for Christ anywhere. but more under some circumstances than others. This man had the opposition of tho whole community to face. It talk IS courage to go against public opinion more than many men have. There are multitudes of men who would be Christians if there were no opposition Ito face.
 Another thing. the words of this text prove that this man had will power. Many man would be a Christian tut he has not the will power to break away from the gang with which he has been running. Hobab wanted to go with Moses but he chung too tenacinj's- Ky to the associations of the past. Young man every day you remain away from Christ you are making con ditions and circumstances that make it more difficult for you to accept the Savior. This is an old and trite say ing. yes. but you had better take heed thereto.
 But there was another man in this village who was favOrably impressed with Jesus. He went up to Him and said. Lord. I will follow Thee. but let me first go Did them farewell. which are at home at my house." These words furnish us a striking illustration of indecision. while the text gives us one of decision.

THE CHURCHES

Rev. Julius Atwood of Trinity church, delivered a very enjoyable dis course yesterday morning on The Spiritual Influence Of John Greenleaf Whittier
 One hundred years ago in the early dawn of the 1900 century. in the quiet and remote homestead of Haverhill. the scene and inspiration of Snow Bound, the great Idyl of our New England life, John Greenleaf Whittier was born. He belonged to the aristo- cracy of New England by birth, for his family was one of our oldest, and he came into the world when our New England farms were occupied by s high thinking strong-minded. simple, sturdy. dignified. and independent race of men, who if any could claim the
