STOP LASSIES FROM
+ BEGGING ON STREETS

WASHINGTON. 5lny 2s.-six young
women wearing the insignia Of the Saliva
ton Army and the Gospel Army were
summoned to the office of Police Captain
williams last night, and informed that
they would have 10 stop soliciting money
from patrons of saloons and other resorts
in the downtown section of the city.
The order was a severe blow to the
heads Of the two organizations, and it is
probable that an appeal vii be made to
Major Sylvester TO allow the women to
continue the practice. It is stated that a
large percentage of the revenue Of the
two organizations has been obtained in
this manner.
Captain Williams told the women that
the practice must cease at once; and il
they continued going into saloons they
would be arrested as vagrants. The police
regard this form Of soliciting money th'
same as begging.

FILES CLAIM
AGAINST CITY

Claims amounting to s1s5 were ask
ed by Arthur w. spruance, attorney.
for Charles t. wolhar. yesterday from
the Board Of Water Commissioners for
alleged negligence OF employees of the
Water Department The claim is tho
outgrowth OF a runaway accident on
April Z, in which Mr.. Wolhar was
knocked down and run over by his
horse and wagon and sustained intur-
les that kept him abed for six weeks.
The horse was hitched before Mr..
Wolhar's store at Pennsylvania avenue
and Scott street, when a water plug on
the same side Of the street was turned
on Unexpectedly. The horse became
frightened and Mr. Wolhar attempted
to hold il. The animal broke its bril-
die, however and knocked Mr.. Wolhar
beneath the wheels OF the wagon.
which passed over him. Mr.. Wolhars
leg was severely injured, and the
claims include the costs of medical
treatment for six weeks and for clerk
hire as the result of his confinement
and for loss OF profit.
1T might have been done by Street
and Sewer employees" Mr.. Knox re-
marked.
The fact that the Water Dexartment
according to the registrar. did not
have men flushing at the time OF the
accident, added value to the assertion.
Action on the matter was deferred un-
til next Monday to permit of investlga-

WORLD NEEDS A
new EVANGELISM
c. B. Haynes Believes Gospel
is Not Presented as it
Should Be

CARLYLE B. Hayes. an evangelist OF
Atlantic city, who is connected with the
big Tent" services in progress at Fourth
and Broome streets. preached in the OIL
vet Presbyterian Church on Sunday morn
ing on the subject 1.-THE Need Of New
Evangelism"
He said in part: There is need. a.
dire need, not Of a new Gospel but another
way OF presenting truth for our time. In
this age Of intensity something is needed
that will sink deeper and impress more
forcibly and the greatest proof Of this is
the decline of real, vital religious expert
ence in the hearts Of men. 1t is gleringly
evident that the preaching of the word Is
not attended with the power it once was,
yet Paul emphasizes that the Gospel Is
the power of God unto salvation
zone of two things is a fact; either the
Gospel is not the power of God or II is
not presented as It should be. The latter
is admitted by many churchmen; mod
ern sermonizing is not reaching men, that
as a whole the church is fast losing hold
of young men. A deplorable condition,
what is the cause? AS Christians we dare
not say that the Gospel has lost its power.
but the Gospel as preached to-day has
ceased to be the Gospel in its complete
ness. It is not the Gospel for this age.
There is a prevalent notion that one
can preach anything in the Biole. Al
though 1 believe that all is inspired OF
God, I positively assert that everything
in the Bible cannot be preached as the
Gospel message for our times. Who would
preach that God will bring a universal
flood upon the earth? It's in the Bible but
It is the Gospel for Noahs time. Prior tc
the coming Of the Messiah the Jews were
thoroughly familiar with the truth OF
the past yet the preaching of John th'
Baptist was Gods saving message fol
that age. There was no other Gospel
its rejection meant death. Twas the same
with the hope OF the Antediluvian world
no matter how firmly they believed truth
/ il they did not enter the ark they were
a lost people. Centuries have rolled by;
could not preach Johns message for
has ceased to be the warning note. Tn
| Bible is the court of last resort. Th
Need of a New Evangelism. The trut
for this age preached in the setting Of tn
second coming of Christ will restore III
power to the church which has been los
during the last fifty or seventy-five year
and when the Gospel is preached in thi
setting. we stand in the same relation {
it as did the Antediluvians to Noah's mes
sage and the Jews to the preaching O
John. The new evangelism then, is tn
proclamation Of Scripture Truth in It
relation to the soon coming Of Jesu
Christ"
