men must be quiet before Him. must

speaks.
Mr.. Hotchkiss delivered another Of
his thrilling appeals to Christians In
America to heed the cry OF the mill
lions of unsayed souls in other lands
for the gospel Of Jesus Christ. The
church. he said, never has, realized the
meaning of the words of Jesus when
He said: "Other sheep have, which
must bring with me. and there shall
be one fold, one shepherd and that
the reason why the world has saTlonss
been flooded with darkness instead OF.
light Is because men and women In
the church have been living in the
subjunctiye mood. and that when they!
begin living in the Indicative mood
different conditions will exist.
Pleads for Unselfshness.
He pleaded for the unselfsh spirit
on the part of Christians. the spirit
that will make them willing to be
spent, and even to die If need be for
the SAL OF Jesus Christ, in order to
give His gospel to others. The only
way to win the Kingdom, he said. is
the way of the Kingdom, which is the,
way OF sacrifice, and that the willing
ness OF service is measured BY the
Willingness to be burned out In service
for God, and that when the church
catches the spirit and passion Of the.
soul OF Jesus Christ she will set her-f
self to the work of saving Others and
will cease crucifying Him upon the
cross Of her convenience Both DR.
Lilly and Mr.. Hotchkiss spoke With
an earnestness and convincing power
seldom witnessed. and there was a pc
culiar stiffness In the attention on the
part OF the audience, which called
forth comment. The entire day wifi
stand out as one of the days most
productive Of good during the entire

CartoOnist j. T. McCntcheOn,
Vaccinated Along With
Others on Liner

Among the passengers detained in
quarantine on the liner Asia is j. t.
McCutcheon, the Chicago Tribune's car
toonist. McCutcheon has been making
tour of the world, and chose an in
termediate steamer instead of a first
class liner because the second rater
was the next ship for home, and he
was beginning to weary for the scent
of the stock yards and the cool breezes
of the lakes.
Poultney Bigelow, who was vaccinat-
ed on the Manchuria and who stayed
over in Honolulu to give his arm a
chance to heal, was supposed to be on
the Asia, and the quarantine officials
expected to have some trouble persuad-
ing him TO stand for another inocula
tion. When he left the Manchuria
Bigelow announced that he was going
to have vaccinati tion abolished as soon
as he returned to the United States, and
Doctor Trotter was greatly relieved
yesterday when the found the famous
canal constructor was not on board
McCutcheon, unlike Bigelow, accepted
the diversion philosophically. At his
request he was vaccinated first and put
in the rest of the time drawing carica-
lures of his fellow passengers in the
hands of the doctors. He also devoted
poets to get his revenge on them later
when his pictures are published.
Part ofsMcCutcheon's round the world
trip was through the African jungles,
where he followed the footsteps of Col
onle Roosevelt for some weeks
