ADDRESS ON
IMPOR ANT SUBJECT
Large Audience Hears Dr.. Bieder-
wolf Talk on The Meanest Man
in the World" Last Night.
REVIVAL IS HAVING EFFECT

A gathering larger and more
enthusiastic than that of the night
before greeted DIR. Biederwolf on his
second appearance last night. This
was really the opening night of the
campaign. Because of the confusion
incident to his first appearance, DR..
Biederwolf was able to speak for
only short while Wednesday night,
but last evening he began with his
noted sermon, THE Meanest Man in
the World"
Not referring to any individual or
group, DR.. Biederwolf spoke for
every man in the city, scoring the
man who Is aware OF his duty but is
afraid to perform 1t as the biggest
coward, and the man who knows his
duty and won't do 1t as the meanest
man ON earth.
Homer Rhodeheaver, trombone
and vocal soloist, opened the meeting
with an instrumental selection. The
opening prayer was made by Rev. G.
w. Hanson, of the Danish M. E.
church, and was followed by Mr.
Rhodeheaver's rendition Of the
Sparrow Song.
Owing to mistake in directions
the hall had little more fresh air
than was needed last night, but that
will not occur again. The evangelist
says everything will be in perfect
order by tonight The following
meetings were announced for the
next few days:
This afternoon Miss Parshall will
meet the high school girls in the
Danish Methodist church An at
tractive service has been prepared.
This is the first appearance of Miss
Parshall in Perth Amboy as a speak
er.
The Auditorium meeting for the
high school boys was cancelled owing
to the inter-class meet this after
noon. DIR. Biederwolf said that the
boys ought to go and that he would
try to get there himself.
Tonight the chorus choir will sing
on the corner of Smith and State
streets. The ideal weather makes
such feature easy and delightful.
No one need miss this part of Joy
and uplift of these meetings.

The powerful sermon delivered
last night was nevertheless very diff
ferent from the preceding one. Agar

Here are some of the things tha
deeply impressed the hearers:
Some Salient Remarks.
A bad man is always bad, but h
Is worse when he pretends to be
saint. He always meets you with
smile but he's got an axe behind t
soak you.
/ don't wonder that the world get
disgusted with the church.
A man who uses hypocrites as
reason for not becoming a Christian
is dyed in the wool idiotic, sense
less fool and 1t is a pretty sure indi
cation that he is fraud himself.
