SABBATH MORNING SERMON.
Strong Discourse Of The Silent Witness
For God and Faith.

Faith, the silent witness in the breast
of every true christian, was the theme
of strong doctrinal sermon delivered
by MIR. Sunday at the tabernacle Sab
bath morning, before an audience of
5000 people. The sermon was one of
the greatest inspirations to christians
which has yet been delivered by the
evangelist.
He took his text from First Peter
3:15, BE We ready always to give an
answer to every man that asketh you
a reason for the hope that is in YOU"
He began by saying hope was one of
the most beautiful things in life and
that it sprung eternally in the human
breast of the sinner and saint. Con-
| tinuing he said There is but one hope
that will dispel the gloom that hovers
around the grave, and that is the hope
of heaven hereafter. Wealth, power
position will mot bring that hope, and
none of these things will dispel the
sorrow which comes to the mansion as
we'll as the howell.
81 know what hope is but I can not
define it. / know what the peace of
God is but 1 can not define it," Reach
ing the subject of how men accept the
| gifts of God, in the material things of
life, but spurn the salvation he offers.
he said, "Out of the cornucopia of his
bounteousness God has poured into
your lives the golden harvest of grains,
of fruits. He ripens the crops for you
and all you have to do is to take
them, but you will not reach out and
grasp the salvation he offers you. You
have not manhood enough to do that.
Here are a few reasons for hope
and what it is. 1t is a reasonable
hope. The world offers everything
else, but nothing for your souls. You
can not find rest tor your soul IN This
world. Wealth, pleasure, fame. per-
sonal charms, none of those things will
satisfy the soul Go ahead. pile ur
wealth, drink the cup of pleasure to

of these things, and have not God yor

isfy. This book alone and what il
teaches will satisfy.

but find quickly that it understand:

N. c., with these. showing that in the
two prisons named 1921 moro union
soldiers had died than in the twelve
engagements referred to. In speaking
of the bravery displayed he told many
incidents, among them the following
story of the old American admiral,
Melancton Smith, who was naval bu-
reau chief during the civil war: His
lson, Joseph Smith, was commander Of
the Congress in Hampton Roads when
the Merrimac attacked the fleet. Word
was brought the admiral that the ship
his son commanded had surrendered.
The only comment the old man made
was: "Then Joe is dead"

SUNDAY ON SAMSON.
Depicts Noted Character as Harry

depicts TNOIe0 NndrdCteF as Harry
Thaw of Ancient History.
Mr.. Sunday told the story of Samson
in his characteristic way Saturday
night. He paraphrased the bible mar
rative into a modern word picture that
was unique and effective.
The evangelist described Samson as
the Harry Thaw of ancient history and
declared him to be one of the most in
teresting, and at the same time most
worthless. characters with which holy
writ deals. He said the strong mans
father lacked the backbone to keep the
young fellow under proper restraint;
that it was a pity he didn't administer
him a massage with an oak shingle.
Tracing Samson's wonderful career,
the evangelist showed that his mirac-
ulous strength and his willful, way
ward disposition caused his own ruin
and resulted in no good to anybody.
He fell in love with the wrong girl, a
heather beauty. That kind of girl has
sent many a man to hell, said Mr.. Sun
day. He demonstrated that Samson's
death was as foolinsh as his life had
been. Instead of trusting in God he
trusted in his own strength and per-

The lessons Mr.. Sunday drew from
the story of Samson were wildly por-
trayed Taking the first step in the
wrong direction was one. People fol-

sin didn't look as attractive as it does
the road to hell would not be so crowd

men to take a good look before they
enter upon course that leads to de-
struction. Look" said he 'at the
blear-eyed, staggering sot in the alley
before you enter the saloon. Make

With eloquent words Mr.. Sunday
paid high tribute to the intellect and
oratorical ability of Robert Ingersoll,
and with fiery words of denunciation

Jesus Christ OF him he said, his
chief work was to smash our belief in
God Upon the three -strfnged instru-

knife OF intidelity he cut away the cross
of Jesus Christ, the heaven of our
future, and pointed to eternity IS an
endless sleep. l believe by his teach
ings he Embossed more passions of men
and unclaimed more devils and wrecked

BEER FREE FOR A YEAR.
Millionaire Makes an Experiment
Which Proves Unsatisfactory.

Glasgow, Mo-, May 24.-There is sor-
row in this town, for its unique philan-
thropy, with free beer and club COM
forts, is ended, and it's donor. hurt by
the callousness Of the people, has re-
tired from their education.
To spite the prohibitionists, who car
ried this county dry" John Morrison
Fuller, a millionaire bank president,
opened a Personal Liberty Hall' and
for twelve months has served free beer
to all who came, and as much of it as
they desired to drink at any time ex-
cept Sundays. Each week day for the
last year his place was open.
No restrictions were placed upon the
consumption of the beer; it was as free
as the water that flowed in the Mis-
souri, river past the town, A fresh bar
rel of it always was on tap, and rich
man or poor, workingmen or idlers,
strangers or natives, were welcome to
turn the faucet and drink little or
much.
AS a lure for men to come and drink
and as an enticement for them to 1inger
longer and drink more the room where
free beer flowed had an equipment of
easy chairs and settees and long table
with the latest newspapers and maya
zines. Two white men and negro in
white uniforms kept the beer mugs
clean and tapped fresh key when the
one in the ice box ran dry. In the
whole year there was never drouth,
never a lack of beer.
After a year of this free dispensation
of beer Mr. Morrison-Fuller closed his
Personal Liberty Hail. and now the
town of Glasgow, that fairly wallowed
in beer without cost, is parched and
dry.
Disappointed in People.
81 must admit that my experiment
was somewhat of a failure" the mil
lionaire banker said today. II fancied
I could educate the people to a spirit
of resentment against the laws that
were depriving them of their liberties
to eat and drink what they choose. But
I found that they did not care. They
are spineless slaves. So long as I kept
my place open and gave them free beer
they would drink their fill. but never a
thought would they give to the dan
gers of a government THAI says what
a man shall eat or drink. And so 1
closed it and now they can go dry for
all 1 care.
But I proved one thing. I showed
that beer was temperance drink and 1
proved that even with beer as free as
the air we breathe there would be no
drunkards and that Yas the main thing
was aftef.''
For the rent of his Personal Liberty
Hail. its furnishings, the beer and the
service Mr.. Morrison-Fuller paid some
thing like $1,000 in the year. The beer
alone cost him $50 a wees.
