EVENING SERVICE.

"The Fear of Man Brinseth Snare" !" was the subject of Dr. Torrey's ser mon last night. "The fear of man bringeth a snare, but who so putteth his trust In the Lord shall be safe, Proverbs xxix, 25, was the text. pr. Torrey said that even If a person be- lieyes that the rest of the Bible is a pack of lies," he knows that verse Is true. pr. Torrey told 'of six ways in particular that the fear of men en- snares men. after first telling how a man often Is laughed into drunkenness and other bad habits by his compan- ions of whose opinion he is afraid, and how girls are led to ruin by the same fear A skeleton of the sermon foi- lows:
 "First-The fear of man ensnares Christians into a denial of their Lord.
 "Second-The Year of man ensnares the professed Christian into a guilty compromise with the world.
 It was in this connection that pr. |. Torrey accused people of having hor- TOT of dances and theatres. but still going to them for fear of what others might say.
 "Third-The fear of man ensnares Christians into a guilty silence and in- activity"
 "Fourth-The fear of man ensnares
 
 cepted Christ, into not making a pub lie confession of Christ.
 "Fifth--The fear of man ensnares those who/start out in the Christian life from going on in it, because some body says some discouraging thing"
 It was here that Dr.. Torrey said: If there is any man on earth Tor om I am tempted to have utter con- tempt 1t is for those convivial men. .t,;a af ha 1t their chief function to adorn rich mems tables. tell questionable stories and drink the rich mems wine. l would rather be the keeper of blind tiger any day than such minister. He was speaking about minister of that sort who laughed young man out of following a Christian life begun at a revival meeting. He advised men and women to start out in the Chris tian life, and stick to it, no matter who disproves or approves.
 "Sixth-The fear of man ensnares people to their eternal ruin. Many a person lies in a Chrlstless grave to- night, and will pass Christless eter- nifty because the fear of man kept them from the public acceptance of Christ.
 pr. Torrey spent very little time upon the Test of the text. "Whoso put teth his trust in the Lord shall be sare. lie said tlat II you put youl trust in God, you will be safe from al danger of yielding to sin and tempta- ton. Also, whoso trusteth in the Lord will be safe from danger of every kind. He quoted Romans viii. 31, "lf God be with us, who can be against us?' Men may persecute you. they may pound you, they may hound you but they can't hurt you if you are right with God" he concluded. After the sermon hundreds of Chris tians stood up to show that they would put the fear of men from them in the future, and Dr. Torrey exclaimed This is like a revival" There were many conversions.

DIR. CRUM RESIGNS
NEGRO COLLECTOR OF CUSTOMS AT
 CHARLESTON.
Crum's Appointment Was Recently .- Sent to Senate for Confirmation, But Was Carried Over on
 Account of Politics.

| Charleston, S. C., March With the resignation of Dr. William D. Crum as Collector of Customs at this port, the resignation to take effort March | 4, situation which threatened to
 cause President-elect Taft consider
 able embarrassment is avoided. No appointment made by President
 Roosevelt during either or his admin istrations has given rise to as much
 discussion as that of pr. Crum. whose appointment as Collector at Charles | ton was vigorously opposed because
 Of the fact that he is negro. long and hard fight against his confirmation
 was made by Senator Tillman and oth- CTS when he was first named for the position by President Roosevelt in 1903, and within the last few weeks, following his reappointment. Senator TillmRn conducted a successful filibus- ter against his confirmation by the Senate.
 Dr. Crum says that no pressure has been brought to bear upon him now to cause him to resign, but that he does so in part because he wishes to save MT. Taft, for whom he entertains great respect, from any possible em- barrassment as to his reappointment. and chiefly because he feels that he mas been cSpcSldily WAtb President Roosevelt's administration. and he wishes to retire with his chief. In his letter to President Roosevelt, after thanking the President for ap- pointing him six years ago, and for re- nominating him recently for a second term, he says:
 since assuming the duties of this position, I have striven diligently to justify the confidence imposed in me.
 During all these years, so far as know, not single charge has been brought against my moral character. or a single adverse criticism made in regard to the performance of my off, cial duties. I wish further to add that those employed In this office. under me. composed of both races. have been, at all times, courteous. kind and in- terested. and We have all worked to- gether to make the office work success full and satisfactory.
 "When I became Collector of the port, the annual receipts of the office were scarcely $20.000. I am glad to say that they have shown fiattering increase each year, the total Tor the fiscal year 1908. being almost $71,000. and for the first eight months of the present fiscal year are more than $80,- 0OO do not claim credit for this increase in business; much of it would have been brought about through the natural growth of the port, but cite these facts to show that I have striven in every way possible to increase the usefulness of the office and the position which I hold.
 Before closing, I feel that I should add that during all these years, have been treated with kindness and courtesy by all those who have had official business with the office, and have not had unpleasant contact with any one in the city.
 ''In conclusion. permit me to thank you again for the trust imposed. and to wish you, as you end your official career. a hearty God-speed and long life"

"Pure Minded Would
 Not Attend Theatre

that when they invite a preach CT. any where. to . dance or any other place, they must expect that he is going to preach, flor that Is his business" He said that the very fact that they had barred the doors and learned a new and very lady-like style of dancing for his inspection. proved that there is no such thing as a decent" dance. Dr.. Torrey's idea of the only way for a woman to dance Is with her husband, her father. her lover. her brother or her son. He accused the citizens of Montgomery with knowing that 1t Is wrong to dance. but said that they did so, particularly the women. because they were afraid of what other peo- pie might say.T
 In the afternoon sermon, pr. Torrey scored club women, and although he didn't say 1t in so many words. suf- fragettes. He said that the ideal wo- man of the Bible. was not the woman who went to clubs or meetings, or spoke from a platform. or lived or sought for a public life. but the typi- cal woman of Christ's teachings Is a mother. He preached the Christi anity begins at home idea with much strong emphasis, and declared that a Christian should clean out his own home before he goes out to other peoples homes.
 He also explained yesterday that he does not believe in excitement. that he deems 1t common He said that he never gets excited himself and he doesn't believe in arousing excitement in others. He explained that he had been criticized in Montgomery for not creating enough excitement. So. he argued. nobody can stay away from these meetings and offer "too much excitement" as an excuse. He took up the excuse of "too much publicity" in his sermon.

PAYMENT. IS
 MADE ON SITE Mir. Dave Writes of His
 Progress. BIG INTEREST IS SAVED Building is Plaearded for lnaugura-
 tion Week. The Managing Director Writes sf HI. Plans for Advertising the South, While washinston is Thronsed
 With visitors.

A great building. from which the Southern Commercial Congress will call attention to the possibilities or the almost untouched possibilities, of the South. is now an assured proposf- ton, through the payment of the first money toward the purchase of the site of the building.
 Announcement of the payment of the money was made through letter re- ceived from G. Grosvenor Dave. for merly secretary of the Montgomery Commercial Club, but at present man aging director of the Congress. It Is announced that the purchase of the St. Matthew's Church property had been accomplished. and that the property would be turned over to the Executive Committee of the Congress at once, to be disposed of in any way deemed fit. The letter from MT. Dave to the President and officers of the Montgom- cry Commercial Club follows:
 Washington, D. C.. Feb. 26, 1903. ITO Officials and Committee Members: ""rhe required payment on the St. Mathews's Church property was made today By an amicable arrangement with the sellers, we take possession Of the property at once. The balance due on the property Is payable without in- terest, in view of which Mir. Charles Hall Davis. acting for the Executive Committee, agrees that the rentals of the two houses on the property shall in the meantime go to the sellers. These rentals amount to about $2,500 a year. whereas interest would be over $13.000. The church edifice itself passes into our hands. to use immedi- ately as we see fit.
 Il shall have the building placarded for inauguration week, run register for Southern visitors. distribute sou venir post cards of the site and en- deavor to get in touch, by means of such methods. with all who are in- terested in the great South, whether they are from the North or the South.
 Yours very truly.

nothing in it for me- she should say. I must have it in order to bring up my own children in a life that Is fuif of the blessings of a On tristan hfe. There is no more beautiful or more holy or more necessary work or the Holy Spirit than that.
 80 it Is not the natural gifts that count in the service of God. Today. the sons and daughters of the pillars of the church. are growing up without Christ. They are drifting away, prop . ably in no other one particular, more than in the observance of the Sabbath. When they should be in church they are out golfing. automobiling, or en- toying themselves in other amuse- ments. What such parents need, above all other things, is the baptism with the Holy Ghost"
 pr. Torrey closed his sermon with several very interesting stories to H. Iustrate the points that he had made.
