HAVE FAITH IN PRAYER,
SAYS ROCKEFELLER, JR.
Addresses Audience in Y. N.
c. A. Building, TarrytoWn,
Which Father Built.

TARRYTOWN, y. Y, December 80
John d. Rockefeller. jr.. addressed large
audience yesterday afternoon in the Y.
NJ. c.. y. building here, which was built
with $4,000 given by his father. Mr..
Rockefeller told of his faith in prayer,
and said it was justified by results. He
had prayed to God for four years night
and morning to guide him in the right
path he said when suddenly one MORN
ing before dawn he arose from his bed
and lighted a lamp. He said the path of
his life was as clear to him as though
there was a sign pointing which was the
right road to take. The speaker took as
his text st. Paurs question: Lord, what
wilt Thou have me do?''
Il want to call your attention to three
words in that question" said Mr.. Rookie
Teller. First. will place the emphasis
on the word Thou What will Thou
have me do?'
.ee Advice Often Wrong.
1.-The best advice of a friend is often
wrong. Think of the great sums paid to
lawyers and doctors for advice. Think
of the hours of waiting to see them, while
Gods advice is free, and we can have it
at any time. He will tell you what to do.
Now 1 want to place the emphasis on
me- We all know what everybody else
should do 1 know what my neighbor
should do It's what 1 should do that
concerns me. l believe that every one
was put here for some purpose. There is
work to do, and if We don't do our share
it maySgo undone and We shall lose the
blessing and reward of doing that work.
Now the last word in that message, do.
1t implies action.
Let no man ask if he prefers comfort
or ease. He should only ask the Lord
when he is willing to do battle. The
answer may call for courage, sacrifice,
1t may involve a rearrangement of your
life plans, but let no man ask the ques-
ton who fears the answer. No task for
God is too humble or too lofty. He will
help us bear our burdens, and If we are
weak, He will make us strong.
Proper Attitude in Prayer.
"a good many of us want the jobs to
come out into the country to us instead
of going into the city to get them. A
man with that attitude will never get
an answer to his prayer. The men who
pray to God in the same way that chill
dren write letters to Santa Claus for toys
and candy will Aever find much in prayer
Prayer is intended to get into closer COM
munion with God SO that you can hear
his slightest whisper.
'I have with me today a Bible I treas
ure above all else. because my mother
gave it to me thirty years ago. l prize
the book because it tells me that night
and morning my mother is praying for
her boy.
You will soon begin a new record.
Men. shall we write clean, strong
mo ,,1x w "a n
do it? There can be no Sinking in an
swering this young mans question"
After his address Mr.. Rockefeller met
those who had listened to him.

DIES WITH HER HUSBAND,
WHOM SHE TRIED TO SAVE
Bodies of Wife and Civil War Vet

Fire Ruins.

NEWPORT, December 3O.-Side by side
in death. the bodies of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank S. Heath. aged tenants of the
famous Bull estate, were found yesterday
in the ruins of the old mansion that was
destroyed in the $4,000 fire that swept
the City Han section.
1t was pitifully plain. from the posi-
tons of the bodies, that the wife had
tried to carry her invalid husband to
safety, and, her strength failing, had
chosen to die with him. rather than save
herself Heath, a civil war veteran,
seventy years old. had been confined to
his bed for months. The bodies were
several yards away from the bed.
The fire was one of the most serious
in the history of the city. Only the
aid of POD men from the naval train
ing station, with their powerful appa-
ratus. prevented greater destruction, The
bluejackets were cheered by the great

service did the pastor refer directly to
the fact that he is leaving the charge
he has held for number of years. Rev.
Goodwin's theme last night was The
Optimism of Christ. False optimism.
he said. "the sort of optimism that mini
is cowardly as well as Indifferent; dread
ing q deep probe and a searching analy-
SIS, forgetting that true optimism is not
in the diagnosis. but in the remedy. The
diagnosis should be frigidly scientific: the
remedy should be benign as the love or
God. mandatory as the hope that is
founded on divine compassion. Christ
optimism was apparent in His belief that
every man. however, spiritually Empower
ished. could and should have a religious
experience. a personal appreciation and
appropriation of the gospel of God.
No successor to Rev. Goodwin will pe

the announcement made last night by A.
