TOOK FIVE BOTTLES
Valued at Five Cents and
Was Arrested.

For stealing five bottles from the
A. G. Luken Drug company. of the
stupendous value of 5 cents, according
to the affidavit, Marion Clapp, an in
corrigible. will be hauled into the ju-
venile court. On this occasion an eff
fort will be made by the authorities
to send the youth. who is about
twelve years old, to Plainffeld reform
atory, where his older brother is now
confined.
Admittedly SO incorrigible that his
parents have told the authorities that
they can do nothing with him and
have whipped them until they were
ashamed of themselves, the youth Is
alwayse under the surveillance Of the
police and Juvenile authorities. Play
ing hockey, staying away from home,
petty thefts and the like are the
charges on which he has been arrest
ed. The police claim that they were
unable to chastice the youth in such
a manner as to make him avoid fu-
ture violations.

REAL EVANGELIST
CAMPAIGN OPENED
Z
The Church Bells of Every
Church in the City Will
Ring Out Tonight.

Today marks. the, opening Of an en-
larged campaign by the leaders in the
union evangelistic effort now in pro-
gress at the East Main Street Friends
This afternoon q series OF
Bible studies were begun in the Sum
day school room OF the Reid Memorial
church to continue throughout the
week and probably next week. The
studies begin at $3.50 o'clock and an in
vitation is extended to the general
public. Those who attend should
bring their Bibles. The theme Of the
Bible study for the first three days
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
will be my Life Plan Compared With
The Fife Plan OF Jesus" This even-
ing at O'Clock and each evening
hereafter while the union, meetings
are In progress 1t Is the plan to ring
the bells on all the churches that are
participating. thereby calling attention
to the union meetings at East Main
Street. Another innovation that IL be-
ing planned for Saturday evening is
an open-air meeting down town. pro-
vided the weather win permit Of 1t.

II Is hoped to have seventy-five par.
ticipate in this. onethird Of this num-
Der to be in charge Of the program
that will be given and the others to
take cards Of personal invitation to
the Sunday services and pass through
the crowd distributing them and doing
whatever is possible in the way OF
personal work. It Is believed that
much good can be done by such q
meeting and Evangelist Mahy argues
for It ON the ground that most Of the
gospel was spoken in the open air and
because he believes that when the
church goes into the highways and
hedges after souls the Kingdom will
undergo q great growth. These acti.
vities with the meeting at. 1880 each

Of marked energy In the evangelistic
Crusade.
The meeting Of Monday evening was
OF the greatest interest from the
standpoint of its prayer and testimony
service. many taking part In these and
especially testifying to the Importance
Of prayer and its effectiveness in keep
ing them In the Christian life. This
service was In harmony with the talk
by Evangelist Mahy. who plead for q
closer communion with God through
the agency Of prayer. The burden oi
his address was the necessity for get
ting In close touch with the divine.
There are too many people, he said
who merely read the Bible as . his.
tory and who fail to get the real sig
nificance OF Christ into their lives
because they do not make the effort
to get into touch with Him. There
are many who know the Bible" said
the evangelist. but they are deadel
than door nails because they have
none Of the spirit OF Christ. They
are mere Christian Of the head while
the Christian who gets hts inspiration
from Christ has religion Of the heart.

dress. Mr.. Jordan urged the mem
bers of the club to get busy" for the
welfare of the city, for which the

would this be OF advantage in solicit

dan said.
A workhouse for the convicted law

Many men. 1t was stated. do not care
whether they go to Jail or not, under

Systematic advertising OF Richmond
over the state was another important
feature Of work which might be done
to advantage by the Commercial club
according to Mr.. Jordan's address
Many institutions in Richmond could
be advertised, showing that Richmond
is superior to many cities OF the state.
The school system in Richmond. con-
sidered the most complete OF any city
OF Richmond's size in the United
States, the manufactures, business
houses. banking institutions. parks
and city government, could be describ-
ed to people all over the state.
< Mr.. Jordan struck a popular note
when he declared that the Commercial
eclub should have permanent home
on Main street, building to itself.
The club is growing in membership
and wealth and it il believed could
well afford such home.
