 Gods Detective Agency" was the subject of the Rev. w. k. Biederwolf' s ! address before the noon meeting at the Majestic theatre yesterday. pr. Bied- erwolf's speech the day before on "The Moral Leper" had attracted so wide at tention that the theatre was filled with

There have been over 50 con- versions. due directly to the noon mass meetings at the Majestic and the inter est and enthusiasm aroused by the speakers is unlimited
 In his address yesterday noon the Rev. Biederwolf said in part:
 Sin Will Find You Out
 "A man is never a bigger fool than
 when he thinks he can gain anything
 by doing wrong You cant. Sin in a certain sense is it's own avenger.
 There is an old Oriental poem which reads:
 Aye when thou hast drained a swal l lows milk,
 l Seen rocks bear olives and sand pome- 1 grantes yield;
 A harder task to try thy vaunted force remains
 | To shield wicked man from retribu-
 tions pains
 | Be sure your sin will find you out.
 First. It will find you out In the ex- ecuton of human law. It's surprising l how few criminals ever escape. It's wonderful how they catch them. A murderer leaves the print of his hand on freshly painted porch rail, pho tograph Is taken and when the sus- pected mans hand is, examined the size of the hand and the lines of the palm and everything exactly fit. 1 Second. It will find you out in the execution of providential law There are few broad guaged, sin loving ] unbelievers who tell you there is no hell al all beyond the grave, Il makes I them comfortable to think so But I'm not going to dispute God about the matter. I've got too much sense, and | l believe the most of you have, too. About three times out of two it's the old slant heard who needs an opera | ton above his eyes that butts in on Gods plan and tries to tell Him He don't understand His business. But it's true just the same that if you give yourself up to sin. you draw a good part of your wages on this side of the grave. Be sure your sin will find you out.
 Physical Punishment Third. It will find you out in the execu- | tion of natural law. Your sin will find you out in your physical nature If you study up on this subject you will be surprised to find out how much of physical dis ease Is due to ones own sin. 1 know sometimes 1t comes by accident. Inno- cent people have lost their eyes and poll soned their whole system by drying their face on a towel used by somebody else | contaminated by some loathsome, infec- tious disease, usually of q social nature. Your lip is a little cracked and you use . public drinking cup and some fellow with rotten, disease-infected dip has been there before you and the harms done You ought to have some regards e.. you if you don't. You ought to have your own towel and use your own comb and brush and your tooth brush of course Look at the rum fiend, with his bloated body and his poisoned blood (alcohol never digests-no matter how you take it. 1t goes into the blood and Is carried into the different organs of the body Cut a drunkard open and you'll find his kid neys all covered with Liberated sores, his stomach with the lining all rotted and his liver all puffed up and pale and with covering on 1t like the bottom of a hobnailed shoe.
 Cigarette Fiends
 Look at the cigarette fiend. There never was bigger fool than the fellow that sticks to that coffin nail proposition How many do you smoke day? Fifteen. Yes And I'll tell what I can do. I can take lean, black leech and put 1t on your body on your bare arm or anywhere and when it sucks Itself full of your blood 1t will convulse and fall off dead to the floor, It's the nicotine in your blood"
 The feature of yesterdays campaign was mass meeting of mothers at tho First Presbyterian church at 330 o'clock. The Rev. R. A. Waite, the boy work specialist spoke to the mothers about boy work and boy interests. Dr. Waite Is we'll acquainted with the subject of hoy work and has been associated with the movement for some time. There were about 300 women present and Mr. Waite answered numerous eager question in re- gerh to the boys.
 Yesterday morning MT. Waite made a
