of His Address.
Rev. Or. w. p. Thirkield, president of
Howard University, spoke in the gym
nasium of the Y. NJ. c. A yesterday af-
ternoon at o'clock, on Personality and
power"
at is one thing 10 know about Jesus
Christ, and it is another thing TO know
Him" DR.. Thirkield said. 1T is one thing
to know about the springtime. and 1t is
another thing to go out and battle your
soul in the rapture of a spring day.
las we toss in our fevered lives. with
temptations near US and all around us,
we may not see the presence of God.
but We can feel Him nigh. The one thing
in life is to know Him in the power and
fact of His resurrection.
Socrates sought out the market place
of Athens. and Plato paced the Academy
floors, but neither ever got a glimpse of
Him.
Life is not worth living unless we real
ize His resurrection. If the resurrection
is not true. We cannot fight the beast of
Ephesus. Life Is not worth the candle.
Jesus is still rising. He did not cease
to rise 1s00-odd years ago. The only way
to get right with God is to have faith in
the rising, and know Him and His res
direction as power within US"

UNIQUE MUSICAL SHOW.
Mr.. Leslie Harris PIeases His Audi

MIR. Leslie Harris PIeases His Audi
ence at the Columbia Theater.
At the Columbia Theater last night Mr..
Leslie Harris.s the English entertainer,
appeared for the second time before a
Washington audience, and # was consid-
erably larger and much more enthusiastic
than at his opening recital It is really
remarkable how one. man, with the aid
of a grand piano and considerable clever
ness, can keep an audience interested for
two solid hours But Mr.. Harris does it.
and does it well.
His programme last night was a varied
one BY request, he repeated some of the
best Of the numbers Of the first concert,
and it was we'll that he did repeat the
burlesque Of THE Merry Widow" waltz,
as it is one of the most taking things he
does He also gave a fine imitation OF
Mr.. Albert ChevalieT in character
song. and an impression Of MIR. George
Grossmith. who is an entertainer after
Mr. Harris method. In addition, there
was a humorous musical sketch "A Lit
tie Music" some musical and humorous
Illustrations, a burlesque on grand opera.
some monologues, both with and without
music, and. finally. bit of pantomime.
The whole entertainment is a striking
illustration Of the versatility of Mr.. Har-
ris; 1t displays him as a most clever
comedian. a musician Of more than ordi-
nary ability. a stOry-teller OF resource.
and mimic of unusual capabilities.

Rev. Or. S. II. Woodrow. pastor.
preached a stirring sermon on The
truthful editor" before a large gather
ing at the First Congregational Church
last evening.
lie laid much stress on the power for
good or evil exerted by the press. That
class of newspaper devoting its columns
TO sensational news was described by the
clergyman as one of the greatest in
fluences for evil.
These newspapers place the morals of
the people too low" said he.
The colOred comic supplements of the
Sunday editions were severely criticised
by Or. Woodrow, because they tended
to destroy the temperament for artistic
beauty in children.
"They should either eliminate the funny
sections or improve them, he said.
In conclusion. he remarked:
There can be no more potent influence
for good government, wise education,
pure morals, and true religion than the
press when it gets vision of its mission
and service.
