happened along at the time he did.
What caused the blaze is a mystery.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad Is To-

from a locomotive could have caused tn,

BOMB THROWERS

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
ODESSA. Oct. 25-The arrest OF seven
alleged Terrorlsts here to-day charged
with bomb throwing. has brought out
the fact that bomb throwing has had a
wonderful revival In Russia. The ut
most efforts OF the police 10 prevent
ahese outrages seem OF little or no

There were twenty-six successful or
attempted outrages IN European Rus
sia and several In Siberia during Sep
tember and the October figures promise
to be even larger
The situation Is especially serious
because Terrorists arc informing every
one concerning the use OF explosives and
have thus armed the criminal classes
with ample knowledge for the manufac-
ture OF their own bombs. outlaws in
variably go provided with them, finding
them much more serviceable than re-
volvors in stopping or scattering police

DEFENDS CHURCH
AGAINST CHARGE
Rev. DR.. ]. P. Barrett Sets
Forth Creed Of the Christian
Church at Dover
Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Oct. 25.-Quoting freely
from passages Of scripture against
man-made creeds but favoring the
Bible as the creed instead. as the basis
Of ones creed, DR.. J. Presley Barrett,
D. D. of Dayton, Ohio, editor of the
old religious newspaper, the Herald of
Gospel Liberty. addressed large
audience in the Dover Opera House at
the morning service Of the Peoples
Church.
Added expectancy was given to his
visit here and his appearance on the
same platform with DR.. A W. Light
bourne, who has lately been received
into the Christian connection, because
one local newspaper, has practically
charged that the Christian Church is
denying the divinity Of Christ.
MY church deny the divinity Of
Christ" exclaimed Or. Barrett. why
if Christ is not divine. if Jesus is not
my Saviour, then am an outcast
Deny His divinity Why, beloved
my church holds dearest His love, His
intercession and His atoning blood. The
very object Of the Christian Church
is to take the mission Of Christ as
given with His last words on earth,
and carry that message to dying men,
to men and women in sin.
Our daily prayer is that we may
so touch Christ in our daily life and
communion with Him that we may
become ourselves Christlilze, that we
may reflect that great. that intense
light of Christ into the dark corners
Of the world. That we may love each
other as brothers and press on in the
field He has lain before us, winning
men by our own lives among them.
No matter how often we come short
of this great ideal, we press on and
try again and keep the ideal con-
stantly before us. And we are gaining
In the battle with the world. Like the
one lone woman making melody with
a voice Of charm in discordant chorus
of voices, which chorus finally becomes
concordant by the great power Of the
one voice.
"A church that sits still. that does
mot reach out after the unsaved peo-
lple of its community, constantly labor
ling to bring them TO the comfort and
Joy Of the Blessed Master; a church
that is not in every sense a missionary
church, certainly cannot deserve ths
name Of church. Jesus last words
TO His church and its people were:
Go ye into all the world and preach
the gospel"
The Christian Church was founded
in 1892, as a result Of the withdrawal
of it's leaders from the Methodist Epis-
copal Church because they disputed
the right Of Francis Asbury TO as
sumo the title Of Bishop. and because
they protested against the rule oi
bishops and the dictation OF presiding
Ielders.
