COOK DIDN'T USE
PLANS OF PEARY

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 20.-The
charge that Dr. Frederick A. Cook made
use Of the plans Commander Pcary had
formulated for his dash to the Pole
is emphatically denied by Frederick
TAYLOR, the Pacific coast manager Of
the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany. who, in an interview today, said (.
"Dr. Cook outlined 20 me seven years
ago, while we were members Of the ex-
ecutlve committee Of the Arctic Club
in New York, his plans for reaching the
Pole. / see that ne has followed, prac-
ticalIy in every detail, the plans ne out
lined"
This, according to Taylor does away
with the charge that DR. Cook used
Peary's plans. for 10 is said Peary,' s.
plans were not made seven years ago
when Cook announced his

friend Of both Cook and Peary and de-
Clares he does not doubt that both ex-
plorers reached the Pole.
cook and Peary are reasonably good
friends" he said, and not the enemies
they are pictured as being. at least
they were when I knew them ] know
that Cook stood by Peary in private
matters when there was no call upon
him but friendship, The men are near
ly opposite In tempera ment. Cook is
modest and unassuming, desiring 20
keep in retirement. Peary always break
ing his way 10 the accompaniment Of a
fanfare OF ouEleS."

SCRAP At MEETING
Kid at Boys Meeting Gets Fresh and
"8iIIy" Sunday Jr, Throws Him Off
the PIatform-Two Hundred Boys
Attend Meeting.

What came near being a rough house
was the feature of the first meeting for
small boys that BILLY" Sunday, Jr.,
held at the Central Church of Christ
Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The
church was filled with boys, and one
8kid" insisted on Quitting" in playing
the organ, a job that had been as
signed to another boy The obstreper-
GUS one was ordered off the platform,
but refused to go, and instead took ref
uge behind the organ. Young Sunday,
showing the same spirit which predom-
mates in his father, went behind the
organ, and seized the kid" and threw
him off the platform -
When order was restored the meet
ing progressed without interruption.
Young Sunday told the boys of the big
meetings the lads Of Springfield had
held. The evangelist was greatly
tickled by the news which came from
the church to the tabernacle, and told
his audience that BILLY" and the
kids" were having a hot time at the
church.

Jesus Christ as saving power2 1t
means to have confidence In him. God
can not help You one bit IL you do not
trust Jesus Christ. What does 1t mean
to trust? It means 20 throw yourself
entirely on the power and strength OF
Jesus.
What was the mission Of Jesus
Christ? He did not come into the world
to condemn you, for you were con-
demned already. He came to save you,
and you can be saved no other way.
But Jesus Christ can do no good I'M
less you trust him.
"You say you never found anything
in religion. That was because your
sins put you out of harmony with God.
Not Necessary to Understand.
You do not need to understand all
about the mysteries of religion before
you can trust Jesus You do not need
to know all about electricity before you
can telephone or send telegram. You
do things every day you do not UNDER
stand, then why should you not BIO n
christian just because you do not un-
derstand all of the mysteries of relig-
ion. "a
Man not only neeuS CHRIST W.
can save him but he needs a Christ
who can keep him saved. You not only
need Christ who can save you from
booze, but you need Il Christ who can
keep you on the water wagon.
You take man who is thoroughly
insulated and all the power in the
power house can not hurt him. You
take a man who is insulated with the
religion of Jesus Christ and all the
power of all the devils can not touch
him"

TALKS TO YOUNG PEOPLE.
Evangelist Emphasizes Importance Of
Accepting Jesus Christ While Young.


Taking as his text. the Psalmist
David's injunction, Remember now
thy Creator in the days of thy youth,
when evil days came not" Evangelist
Sunday strongly emphasized the i'm
portance of becoming christians while
yet young, at the chidren's meeting in
the tabernacle Saturday afternoon.
Mr.. Sunday declared that most per-
sons who are christians became such
forcibly explained how much harder 1t
is to change from life of sin to one
of righteousness after the careers of
men are along fixed lines and habits
strong as letters of steel have been
formed. He showed by numerous and
striking Illustrations how necessary it
is not only to have an early start in
the christian life but a proper training
for that life while still young and i'm
questionable. He aptly demonstrated
how much easier it is TO prevent the
formation of bad habit than 1t is to
break away from it after once fixed
and long INDUCED.
The speaker held the closest interest
of over 1000 people, probably half OF
them children, while he unfolded the
beauties and benefits, the peace and
joy of living for God and serving him,
contrasted with the unhappiness, the
unrest, the danger and detriment of
the ungodly life. 1--WE all want to live
useful lives" he said, land the only
truly useful life Is that of the chris
tian." % u
