The thing to do is burn this one,

And then the fool is bound to squeal."

No check upon his windmill grind.

Sermon by
CHARLES T.
RUSSELL,
Pastor Brooklyn
Tabernacle.

Brooklyn Tabernacle, March 6.--Pas-
tor Russell preached twice here today.
His discourse on Inferno" was deiv-
cred in Brooklyn's largest Auditorium,
overcrowded. 1t was estimated In adj
vance that this subject would draw n
larger crowd than the Tabernacle
would accommodate. The other meet
ings of the day were held In the Taber-
nacle. We report Pastor Russel's dis
course from the text foregoing, as fol-
lows
It is difficult to please everybody.
TIE duty of Christian minister Is to
seek chiefly to please the Lord. LET
the words OF my mouth and the medl.
tations of my heart, be acceptable In
thy sight, o Lord my strength and my

isterial friends seem to be annoyed be-
cause we preach the doctrines" OF
ChA;t. In substance, their sentiment
is: Brother Russell, DO you not know
that in the fashionable topics of our
day doctrines are tabooed by the great
ministers of all denominations? In
stead, as you perceive from the news
paper announcements, It is now quite
the thing TO discuss political, scientific
and sociological doctrines. You should
give the public lectures on subjects
like these: Social Democracy; Rapid
Transit in Brooklyn. from the text,
"Many shall run to and fro;" Female
Suffrage; The Boys Brigade: The Best
Novel of the Year; The Narrow Way
OF the Bicycle Rider; VIII the Comet
Sweep the Earth With It's Tail; Can
Football Survive, ETC.: or occasionally,
for effect, gently rake the rich ON bet
ter housing for the poor, or belabor the
Trusts for soaring prices of food. Such
topics as these, Brother Russell, inter
est the Christian public In our day.
And the public constitute our principal
congregations when we lift our largest
collections. The only people who will
be interested In the doctrines you are
preaching are the old fogy. out-of-date
folk, and you will find the majority of
them poor In this worlds riches. For
PHYS sake stop teaching the doctrines
of Christ. Doctrines were good
enough In the days of Jesus and Paul
and Calvin and Luther and Wesley, but
the people are not accustomed to them
nowadays.

to me, but to the Lord that they must

ly against the flames. one other

Within few minutes of the
flames outbreak. towboats from the

vessel and towed her over to the
south Portland shore, wher she was
beached, The loss is $250,000.

TROOPS TO FIGHT FIRES.

President Taft's permission to use
the troops to fight forest fires in the
west was in line with the wise and
common sense policies of his admin
istration.
A standing army in time of peace
is not a profit-bearing institution. 1t
is a valuable machine lying idle, for
the most part-a machine which we
dare not be without, but one which
we have been taught to believe is do
ing us the most good when it isn't
doing anything.
If we can turn this formidable
fighting engine from a passive to ac-
tive service We shall have accom-
plished an economic triumph. Little
training should be required to make
our regular soldiers, disciplined as
they are, the equal of any corps OF
firemen in the world.
In all probability this new order
will result in saving thousands OF
acres of valuable timber from the

WILD WEST TRICK
COMES NEAR SENDING ONE
HONESDALE BOY TO SWEET
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., IN
SPIRED BY MOVING PICTURE
BARN,

Quite a little sensation came to
the people on Ridge street one day
this week, when it was found two
boys in the neighborhood had strung
another boy to the beams of barn
and kept him hanging there until the
lad was black in the face. A neigh
Dor showed up just in time and cut
him down.
A doctor who was hurried to the
boys home said a few minutes more
might have been fatal.
1t appears that the boys had been
to the moving pictures, where they
witnessed a Western hanging via
film route. They went home and
tried the game themselves. 1t came
near putting one good boy out of
business.
All the boys involved are members
of excellent families and an effort
is being made to hush up the un-
fortunate happening, but it is not de-
MED that the boy was strung up and
that he soon would have needed a
coffin instead of a doctor.
