CALLS FOR ENTHUSIASM
pr. Cadman Breaches in Calvary
 Baptist Church.

pr. $. Parks Cadman the noted ora tor-preacher of Brooklyn, delivered the big sermon of the day yesterday afternoon in the Chapman movement at the Calvary Baptist church. To comment on his method of preaching is unnecessary in so noted minister Sufficient is it to say that he showed he could out-Ostrom pr. Ostrom in his power and thunder, that he could out Dawson Dr. Dawson in his vivid word pictures, and that he could out-Chap- man Dr. Chapman in his clarity of expression. He is rather afcombina- tion of the three leading Chapman evangelists and any one who has heard them and liked their salient qualities should have been at Calvary Baptist church yesterday afternoon to hear Dr. Cadman.
 The Brooklyn preacher could not have better characterized his own methods of preaching than, when he complained in the course of his re- marks of the cosmopolitan and poly glot quality of the congregations he lldS lO pltdOl tO III NllN Plp NAhSs lAN said that he found it often took him twenty minutes before he got good chance to turn the guns on them. v Yesterday afternoon he turned the guns" on his New Haven congrega- tion There was no mistaking wha/ ,he said; no need for the hard of hear ing to insist on being given front row seats. Everyone could easily follow the Brooklyn preacher at every word and~n no doubt about it.
 pr. Cadman was introduced grace fully by Dr. Chapman. He took no text, nor did he announce any sub ject. Nevertheless there was little doubt as to where his mind was cen tering before he had spoken many words. It was The Need in Amer lea"
 I'd be willing to go farther, much farther than New Haven. to be able to help along Chapman evangel," he said in beginning. "I take great joy, Is give great glory to God for Dr Chapman, for I believe he is pregnant with the gift of God and that he breaches from knowledge of a more excellent way of living. When Hugh Price Hugh, the great platform preacher, died he left none behind him who understood the vitality of the gospel so well. He was born of a Welch father and Hebrew mother. and there is a combination that is hard to beat. He was a strong preacher"
 Just at present we are told we are in the midst of a wave of reform in this country. We are told to give thanks because we have such a strong smiud in the White house We do give thanks for that. But 1 can tell you something that is better than a strong mind in the White house. It is a strong mind in every house in the land--men who do not want protec- ton. like sheep bleating, in the shep- .pherd. There will be no result to this sreform unles it is deep rooted in the Spirit as was Hugh Price Hugh.
 T "Men pin their faith in the ethica tendencies of politics. I tell you that without God the end of it all is disap. pointment and waste of the time of the followers of the movement. The blood red need of America is not education but the good ol1, unused ideals resus .citated.
 Df. Camden said there were those \ who believed, ike Carnegie, that we would be all right if we only had more culture. 'Is they could give New Ha. ven enough Yales we are told he said "give Boston enough Harvards, anC New York enough Columbias, if wt could have enough good music, enough gootf symmetry of achitecture and al the rest, then we would be all right Why, my friends, you might as vel
