RAILROADS SCORED
BY BISHOP GAMBLER
Declares That Railways Murder
and Steal.
HE SAYS PEOPLE ARE ROBBED
BY Watered Stocks and Killed When
They Ride on Railroads Because
Managers Seek DiVdends-Labor
and Capital Compared.

Danville, Va, Jan. s 8.-Bishop w.
A. Gambler, of the Methodist Episco-
pal church, south, delivered two ser
mons here to congregations that tax
ed the capacity of the church. He
touched on various economic and polj-
tical subjects, which were, however
only by the way of Illustration and
incidental to his main subject. He
scored the carelessness and inefficien
cy of railroads, the Sunday neWspa-
pers, the Sunday trains, and took a
''shot" at the licensed barrooms.
At The morning service Bishop Can
.dler confined himself to the mission
ary work in foreign lands. More
prayers and more workers are not
needed" j." he said, but more cons =
Grated Christian money to convert the
heathens."
The night sermon was the mora
sensational of the two. Bishop Can
dler said that upon coming to Vir-
ginia he had read Of where two rob
bers had held up train and at the
point of a pistol made the passengers
give them their money and valuables.
This Offense, he said, was patty as
compared with the way certain rail
road directors had robbed the public
by watered stock and the great
amount of traffic they attempted to
conduct regardless of consequences or
the safety of the public.
"They regarded money and big div
idends higher than they did the lives
of the people, he declared. THE
railroad directors should not be sur
prised, he said, that two robbers
should hold up a train. The robbers
only frightened, the passengers and
did not kill them, like the railroads. "
Speaking of capital and labor, he
said that he was taking no sides on
the question He said:
''If | saw two eagles soaring toward
the skies, would enjoy the flight.
Between capital and labor, it is who
can get the most of it. 1t is like
two vultures fighting for the biggest
half Of a carrion crow, and l want
it understood that l am taking no
part in a buzzard fight"
Bishop Gambler deplored Sunday
newspapers and Sunday trains in
America, and said that they would
stop if the public would cease pa
tronizing them. He could not see
how conditions in a city like Danville
warranted Sunday papers and trains
when they were not necessary in a
place like London.
The sermon of Bishop Gambler
was along the lines of the COM
merciaI tendency of the present age,
the struggle and the greed for gold
which the nation worshiped. He
compared this era to the times of
King Solomon, and predicted a down.
fall of America like nations of old
unless the people worshiped mammon
less and God more. Both of the SER
mons of the bishop created deep i'm
preston.

The blow which knocked out Corbett
was revelation to the prize fighters.
From the earliest days of the ring the
Knockout blow was aimed for the jaw,
the temple or the jugular vein. Stomach
punches were thrown in to worry and
weary the fighter, but if a scientific man
had told one of the old fighters that the
most vulnerable spot was the region Of
the stomach, he'd have laughed at him
for an ignoramus. DR.. Pierce is bringing
home to the public parallel fact; that
the stomach is the most vulnerable organ
out of the prize ring as we'll as in it. We
protect our heads, throats, feet and lungs,
but the stomach we are utterly indiffer-
ent to, until disease finds the solar plexus
and knocks US out Make your stomach
sound and strong by the use of Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and
you protect yourself in your most vulner-
able spot. vGolden Medical Discovery
cures "weak stomach" indigestion, or
dyspepsia, torpid liver, bad, thin and i'm
pure blood and other diseases of the or
gans of digestion and nutrition.
The UGolden Medical Discovery" has a
specific curative effect upon all mucous
surfaces and hence cures catarrh, no
matter where located or what stage it
may have reached. In Nasal Catarrh it
is well to cleanse the passages with DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy fluid while using
