STEER HTS COMMERCIAL.SM
TELLS YALE MEN TO SEEK
 SOMETHING HIGHER.

Impressive Discourse to Yale Men at
 BatteIl Chapel Yesterday Forenoon
 4 Strong Plea for Idealism.
 At Battell chapel yesterday morning the preacher was Robert E. speer of New York, secretary of the Presbyter- ian board of missions. MT. Speer made a strong plea for idealism against the commercial tendency of the age. Mir. Spear said in part:
 Christ offered his disciples not influ- ence, but an opportunity for sacrifcial heroism. He used no political pull; He scorned money; but he still drew men to Him. His method is called intan- sible. but human life is the most in- tangible of all things, and the so-called trifles produce the greatest results.
 Nowadays people say there is no money in Christianity, and call religious workers favorites, And so far as the money is concerned, material achieve ments, however great, ultimately fade away. while what we given for other men alone remains.
 Tn his time, and ever since-Christ has obtained men against all these ob- jections and He always will get them.

"REDFORD,s HOPE"

There is true American spirit, real strength and interest in 'Bedfords Hope" which Merrs Stair and HayIin offer at the New Haven theater for three nights and Saturday matinee be- ginning February 2S. It is an Ameri- can drama which contains the atmos- phere of the golden west. It was pro- duced at the Fourteenth street theater in New York and ran there for many weeks. No production ir years has been treated so royalty by the press, not single adverse criticism being re- ceived. The Globe in it's review of the performance on January 16 gives it the following vivid description:
 ''The jaded New Yorker who wishes to see lively play with not only a touch of novelty but something that will make his sluggish circulation hur- ry along like mill race should go to the Fourteenth street theater. Stair and Havlin produced last night their newest and most successful production, "Bedford's Hope" Tn it's bare outlines a not extraordinary melodrama it has one feature which must make the play a lasting hit Those who saw any of the succeeding plays produced by MT. Garter will remember that their grip depended on the lightning express" which tore down the stage at a giddy pace with deafening roar and furn- ished tremendously exciting climax to the principale scene. In Bedford S Hope the whirlwind finish of the third act comes with a hair-raising race scene across the Bad Lands of Mime sota between a limited express and an automobile--the former rying the villain, while the latter hv.Is the hero and the daughter of the old nan whom the villain is trying to kill. So effective was this scene that last nights au- dience rose to it with the greatest pos sible enthusiasm Again and again the race was re-enacted because the house demanded it, and finally the author ap- peared in answer to repeated calls and told how glad he was to win success with his first New York production, Not this season las so realistic and ex- citing 8 stage episode been seen in To- cal theaterland. The play itself would not attract unusual attention if it were not for his one big feature, but it's sue cess was so inmediae last night that there can be no doubting the fact that "Bedford's Hope is hit Of the act ors Walter Law, Emma Butler, George c. Staley Griffith Evans, F. M Kim ball, Mary Servoss and Mable Van Buren are the best Scientifically the play is above the average"

Biiou Thenter.

This afternoon at the Bijou there will be presented for the first time on any stage the new three-act comedy by Francis Owen, "The Dreamer" This eminent author-actor has many friends ths city MT Owen has had many successes in the dramatic field and 1t is predicted that his new play VII be a winner,
 It is seldom that stock company has the opportunity to bring out a brand new piece and in securing this play for it's initial production, Director McGill feels highly pleased. The play has created much enthusiasm among the members of the company who have been selected to create the characters of the piece.
 Mir Owen himself is to play the lead ing character, that of John Lawrence. It is an odd conception of the character of man who while a successful au- thor is still much of a Dreamer" Tn his play, MT. Owen will be supported by Lawrence B. McGill, Dorothy Lamb, Erma wallace, Edith Crolius, Margaret Hagen, Harry Langdon, and Wilbur symonds all playing parts that should prove exceptionally congenial.
 A feature of the week will be the in- troduction of "The Boy from Rome" in beautifully illustrated songs. Seats for the various performances of the week may be engaged in advance.

moral and religious condition of city is not judgment on the teachings of Christ. The opposite is true, that the teachings of Christ are judgment on our cities"
 The modern ctiy was compared with the ancient cities. New York" he said, may look black and wicked to us bu twhen we compare it with Rome and Carthage of the old world we are no sto strong in our condemnation. New York is a paradise compared with any city which Christ knew when He was allie. To realize this we have but to read the account of the historians , Tacitus, Livy, and especially Paul the apostle. The wickedness of the world at that time is almost indescribable "A very pleasing reference was made to one of Hawthorne's novels, in which the writer imagines a city suddenly swept of all it's inhabitants, and new Adam and Eve placed in it to view for the first time the habitations of its. former people. Hawthorne dwells on the awful evidences. that would tell of l the distinction between the rich and the poor. MT. Haynes brought attention to the ethical as well as the sociological problems. The visitors would discover great forces and agencies that might be used for the advancement of the people.
 What does God see as he looks on New Haven tonight? Christ would weep as He wept on the sight of Je- rusalem. Every form of evil, vice. wickedness and blackness known since , the world began is to be seen. But would not say this unless I knew that the opposite existed at the same time But our great failing is that in working 1 for the good of our cities, men do not know how to work together and with God. We are too apt to ask the easy question of Cain, Am I my brotehr's keeper?" and too seldom use that other saying, If am lifted up I will draw all men with me. But we must make up our minds to the fact that Gods pur- poses are not going to break down. De- cities were two thousand years ago. and then imagine what they will be I two thousand years in the future-will they be cities of God? I think so, but as softly as the flakes of snow are fall out outside tonight all these blessings are to come quietly, one by one un- announced. But call feel, neverthe- less, that God is with us in the world tonight, and is here to triumph"

the city be saved, because it's union means tho degradation of the whole nation?
 "In looking into the present moral condition of the American cities, one finds many clements of danger, but at the same time great evidences of healthfulness, life and agencies making for betterment."
 MT. Haynes then spoke briefly of the moral and religious conditions in New Haven. Tt is not question" he said, "of the seating capacity of all our churches and missions, but of how many are taking advantage of them, There is a vast number of people in New Haven living without religious in- struction It is an open question wheth- CT the churches of ths city are gaining in reaching the people without the church"
 Referring to the apparent failure of Christianity in this respect the preach CT said: We cannot say, Christ, wha crimes are perpetrated in thy author fty," Many mistakes are made. but the

STILL ANOTHER STORM.

Snow Comes Down Again Yesterday.
 The snow, the beautiful snow still remains with us, Following the cold spell of Saturday, and after the tenn perature had risen somewhat, snow be- gan to fall shortly after noon time yesterday, and continued during the greater part of the night. While not heavy enough to interfere to any ex- tent with traffic, it was nevertheless bad enough to make walking disagree able for those who were forced to be out and around, The majority of the people are now tired of the snow, and will be glad when it formally dlsap- pears, and the balmy spring days come again once more.
