Philadelphia, October IA wave of en- thusiasm such as probably never before was witnessed here rolled over Philadel- phia this afternoon when word of the Athletics second victory over the New York Giants was flashed to this city. Thousands of persons had gathered wherever a scoreboard could be viewed and OH the broad plaza on the north side of city hall, where an electrical de- vice showed the game play by play a crowd larger than usually gathers at the baseball parks was assembled.
 A pail seemed to fall upon them when the Giants scored in the third inning, but this was lifted when Bakers home run. tieing the score, was announced in the ninth. When two more runs were scored in the eleventh and when finally victory was announced their enthusiasm grew into a frenzy. Staid business and professional men joined their office boys and ragged urchins in a snake dance around the city hall similar to that with which college students celebrate a great football victory In and out of the city hall corridors the overjoiced fans wended their way in the dancing steps of inc march Next to joy at the news Of the victory, which most of the local fans seem

one. Show me the man who is convinced that God has appointed for him a mo- ment when he shall die and appear be- fore his maker to give an account of his life, and I will show you a man who is preparing for that moment Show me the man who meditates daily on death and 1 will show you one whose life is pure, one who does not pamper the body to the detriment of his soul.
 Why is 1t, my dear people, that we do not profit more by the thought of death? Why do we not think more seriously of the end of life? Why are we reluctant to think that life is slipping away and that che shroud, the coffin and the hearse await us. I will tell you, if many people were to think of death seriously they would be compelled to make some changes in their way of living. They would have to renounce some pleasure or friend or sin. Oh, If every one was to- night convinced that tomorrow he must die what a change would Immediately come upon the world ;ss The merchant would leave his counter. the farmer would abandon his blow in mid furroW, the very drunkard would dash away hts glass and even the libertine would stag ger forth from the haunts of sin with prayer at last upon his lips, and all would spend the time in prayer and preparation for the coming of death.
 II you nave any care TOT your souls you Will begin now to prepare for eternity by resisting temptation and sin. No one can afford to delay for death will come upon us unexpected. When shall we die? We cannot say more than this; that we are likely to be surprised by death. You Know that death surprises nearly every one of his victims. Even the man who dies of protracted illness will tell you a moment before the end that he ex- poets to recover and to live for years. Can you hope to be the exception? Must you not expect that death will surprise you! Ought you not then as reasonable men and women to be prepared to meet death at any moment? Your life is your preparation for death. If you live well you will die well and happily If you live in sin, it is more than likely that you will be surprised in your sin by the sum- mons of death. Let no one uare to put off this preparation. Y ou shall die but once and as you die so shall you remain for eternity, Happy, thrice happy, shah you be when the end of life approaches, If noy you begin to thing of that lost end and to prepare for it.''

FATHER SKINNER
 TALKS ON "FA|TH" Large Congregation At tends Mission Services at
 St. Paul's Church

large congregation attended the mis- sion services at St. Paul's church last night Father Skinner recited the rosary and gave a brief instruction on Faith. - He first defined faith in general to the acceptance of information on trust and divine faith a trust in Gods word or revelation. He then considered the neces- sity of faith, showing how it would be impossible for man even to live without human faith and that divine faith was just as needful in spiritual and religious matters. Father Skinner then considered the modern cry of Down with Creeds'- Give us a creedless Christianity and showed how false in theory and impossi- ble in practice was this demand.
 Father Devery delivered the sermon. He preached on death. taking for his text The words of Revelation, chapter H. verse 13: And l heard a voice from heaven say ing unto me, write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord
 The preacher said in part: There is one moment in the life of every one more solemn than any other because upon that moment will depend the fate of his soul for all eternity. That is the moment of death. The thought of death Is often forced upon every one of us, but how seldom do we profit by it and set about preparing for that all important moment when we shall be called upon to appear before our Heavenly Father in eternity. Tonight I want you to con sider the fact that you must die. l want you to realize that if death finds you unprepared there will be for you no more hope. Let each one look back over hls past life as he will when lying on his death bed and ask himself whether his present condition of soul would merit. for him an eternity of happiness or reserve everlasting punishment.
 we have but a few short years in which to prepare. The days Of man are short, says holy scripture.
 Every man born into this world is tainted with original sin and the wages of that sin is death.
 Death is the closing scene of every human life. We cannot change 1t. In vain shall we try to shut our eyes to the truth We might as well try to think that two and two make five as to think that death is not in store for us. there has never been a fool who in his folly said, there is no death.
 "Everywhere we see signs Of death which remind us that we, too, sooner, or later must die. The history of mankind should teach us the sefsame truth. Those who have lived and gone before us cry out to us: Your turn comes next. AS we have lived and died so you who have taken our places must in turn yield shem up to others. Others will live in the houses that you are building. Others win spend the money that you are amassng. Others will live. but you must die. The voice of the ages past is never silent. In the bones of the sepulchre it reminds LIS that we are but dust and that to dust these bodies of ours must return.
