Before congregation which included
President Roosevelt and ex-Secretary
Taft, men who have performed the high
est public service. Rev. Ulysses G. B.
Pierce. minister of All Souls Church,
preached last Sunday morning on the
"Christliness of Humble Service"
I'VE best show our heavenly nature
when we are willing to do the most men,
ial task that presents ITSELF he said, in
conclusion.
The text was, Jesus. knowing that the
Father had given all things into his hands
and that lie was come forth from God and
was going unto God, riseth from supper
and layeth aside His garments: and He
took towel and girded Himself. and be-
gan TO wash the disciples feet" ST. John,
xiii:5, 4. 5.
DIR. Pierce's sermon, as taken by a ste
nographer, follows:
Jesus. knowing that the Father had
given all things into His hands. and that
He was come forth from God and was go
ing unto God" and then the reader ma Orr
ally expects some eloquent embodiment
of the spiritual life, some profound philo-
he is almost tempted to feel disappoint-
ment when he sees that what promised
to be a climax ends in mental task. But
the disappointment is only momentary
and superficial for the better sense of the
reader comes TO him and relieves him. it
assures him that there is an eloquence of
action. as well as of words, and he learns.
perhaps for the first time. that there is a
profundity OF behavior as well as OF
philosophy. Perhaps the ChrstlinesS OF
humble service comes home to one as ii
has not come before. Perhaps 1t may
dawn on one. as 1t has not before. that
mans task is to be measured by the
man who does 1t. not the man by the
task, but the task by the man. And we
discover that there is more sanctity and
holiness in the Masters washing the di-
cipleS' feet than there would be In some
men conquering the world.
Indeed, back Of this there does lie pro-
found philosophy. AS one meditates on
great could so condescend. For a hun
dred men who can throw a heavy weight
on the athletic field there Is only one who
has sufficient suppleness to touch the
earth with the palms OF his hands. For a
thousand men who could give dignity
and honor TO some great task, there is
hardly one who can dignity the mental
occupation and put God into 1t. And, yet.
this is the high calling of the Christian
to find in the Master this example of the
Christliness of humble service. And one
sees that back of this there Is profound
philosophy. For in the last analysis we
are not loyal and useful citizens because
we have studied political science: we are
not kindly neighbors because we ought
to be kindly to be consistent with our code
of ethics. No. we have philosophy be-
cause we have lived the life. We do not
will 10 do the Fathers will because we
have learned the doctrine, but we learn
the doctrine i'm SO far as We will to do the
Fathers work.
And it is surprising. in surveying the
life of the Master, whose whole career

RESULTS FAR-REACHING,
SAYS LAYMAN.

The results of the present erangelis-
tie campaign will be the greatest, most
iar-rcaching and permanent of any CAM
Taign we have ever had in Washing
ton" declared Judge Stanton J. Peelle Of
the Court OF Claims. when asked yester-
day to give 1ayman's views of the re-
suits to date of the Gypsy Smith cam
paign. He was enthusia site in his praise
OF the evangelists methods and of the
work he has done at the meetings already
held.
Gypsy Smith breaches rational
Christianity. declared Judge Pee,;e.
He Is not like some evangelists whom
j might name and who appeal to the
emotional side of the members of their
audiences. They give story after story
of emotional incidents. and thus in
fluence for the time being those who hear
them. Not so with Gypsy Smith. Ile
appeals to a mans intellect, to his reason.
He uses few illustrations or stories.
but when he does they are very much
TO the point And when person with
an intellect hears that simple and rea-
sonable presentation OF the subject and
is convinced, he will remain convinced.
For that reason l think the results
will be permanent.
Il visited the inquiry room several
times after the meetings, and have talk
ed with several pastors. and L am i'm
pressed with the good results. Among
those who respond to the appeal of the
evangelist are many who have been
Christians. but who have been what is
called .backsliding.' To get such people
of the city aroused and into the churches
will mean much. But there are many
others who have been trying to do right
but who have not accepted the gospel

clared. Many of these have been claim

of the curious crowd that lined the streets

HOSTS OF WASHINGTON TO MARCH WEDNESDAY

THE results. of the meetings during the
first week have been marvellous: if they
continue during the second week l don't
know what the city will come to-" de-
clared Gypsy Smith, the evangelist who
is conducting the huge revival now in
progress in this city. His eyes sparkled
as he made the remark and his joy in the
result was apparent in his face.
THE way the men at our meetings
have responded Is wonderful he con-
tinued lat the meetings in Convention
Hall the men have been the first to
respond.

was an eloquent persuasion of the Christ
Illness of service to see how mental the
tasks were to which He committed His
hands, and how dignihed they became in
His service. He is with the sick: He is
with the sorrowful; He is with the poor
in spirit He is opening the eyes of the
blind, raising to life those who were
spiritually dead. and doing tasks that
many men would consider beneath their
dignity. But this is His life work; He
came not to be ministered unto. but to
minister: He came not TO receive honor,
but to confer honor. He treats the world
as worthy. not always because individuals
were worthy. but because He is worthy
And 1t. Is interesting to see how in His
contact with the children OF men He Is
less concerned with imparting to them
profound philosophy Of the religious life
than He is in starting them on the way
to gather philosophy Of life from honest
and Chritslike action. Do ten lepers come
to Him in the way? He heals them by
setting them about their work. Do blind
men come TO Him? He tells them to go
wash in the pools of Sloan. and they
come seeing. He shows that the real
philosophy of life is not in argument. but
in action: that the way to the Kingdom
Of heaven is not through wisdom. put

poet, William Blake. limited 1t In little

But he who kisses the JOY as II mes
Lives in eternitys sunrise.
And does not this hint for us the mar
velous appeal that the religion of Jesus
Christ has made to what we are tempted
to call the average man? The gospel tells
us that the common people heard Him
gladly. and we read the pages IN vain for
any appeal to the populace, any popular
catchwords which might seem to justify
that popular following which He had. But
it is limited for US in the words of one OF
the writer's, who said of Him. that He
taught not as their scribes. but as one
having authority. And what that means
He Himself tells us when He says. BE
ware of the Scribes and Pharisees, for

YOU ought TO do but Is not willing to put
his advice to the test by setting the ex-

Himself upon mems attention. He d. IS

Installed library and reading room
at the "Hotel Retreat" the quart
ers where tramps and hobos are
housed when they apply at police
headquarters for a bunk.
BY carefully studying the cOndi-
tions existing at hotel retreat, Mr..
Balm discovered that a great many
of the so-caled tramps and hobos
stopping at this place, are men of
some education and culture. This
aroused the idea OF installing a
library Of books and magazines
which would help the men TO pass
the cold wintery evenings in a pleas
ant manner. Several bibles, eighty
magazines and a score or more of
other books were placed on neatly
arranged shelf in the hotel.
Several times Mr.. Balm has
dropped into the hotel late in the
evening to converse with the various
dodgers and he has always found them
sitting about the fire, smoking their
pipes and reading from some of the
magazines. The magazines, are. al
ways replaced carefully 4 on The
shelves, which demonstrates that the
unfortunates appreciate the advant-
age of the library.
