terrible civil war tho world has ever seen,
and declaring that they together offered

of liberty and union that was made by
any two men Of their generation. They

Many friends OF the sister superior
called at the pretty hospital chapel yes

woman was lying at rest. The remains
OF the sister superior are remarkably

The passing Of Sister Lidwina was in

remained at her post OF duty IN charge
OF the Holy Cross hospital faithful TO the

was overcome by her illness and when
informed that the end was near she an

DETECTIVE MAY FACE
CONTEMPT CHARGE
Officer Is Alleged to Have
Violated Court Injunction
in Making Arrest.

Detective Hugh l.. Glenn was re-
ported as resting easy at a late hour
last night, despite the fact that two
attorneys have threatened TO have him
cited into the Third district court today
on n charge of contempt. Yesterday
Detective Glenn arrested Z. X. CurEan
and Della Judd OF the Cliff rooming
house on the charge of violating the
state liquor law. Curran and Mrs. Judd
were taken TO the police station, but
were later released upon cash bonds OF
5000 each.
Attorneys for the couple contended
that in arresting them. Detective Glenn
had violated the injunction Of the Third
district court, recently issued In the
rooming house eases. These injunctions,
1t will be remembered, were to prevent
the city commissioners and police off
cials from taking any further action
against rooming houses whore licenses
had been denied, until the courts could
pass upon the legality of the ordinance
under which the licenses had been de-
inied.
Detective Glenn and his superior Of
ficcrs in the police department take the
ground that the detective in no manner
violated the terms of the injunction in
arresting the couple on the charge pre-
ferred, and that he is in no danger
whatever of being adjudged guilty of
contempt.
The attorneys in the case declared
that they would have the contempt ci-
tation issued this morning.
Detective Glenn declined to say in
just what manner the violation Of the
liquor law would be charged, but de-
clared that he had abundant evidence
to support the charge that he would
make

KEEP SUNDAY, is
PLEA OF PASTOR
The Rev. S. R. Colladay Says
Modern Industrial Machine
Crushes Ideals.

Sunday Keeping was the theme OF
a sermon preached yesterday forenoon by
the Rev. S. r. Colladay In st. Mark s
ca athedral. The question OF Sabbath OBJ
servance was treated as being a test of
ideals and the preacher made the point
that the standard Of ideals of today was
widely different from the standard OF
ideals set up by the NaZarene.
The Savior's standard of ideals. said
the Rev. Mr.. Coladay, was based on the
spiritual. whereas the standard of ideals
today is based on the material. He set
forth that In the present period OF the
world. the industrial machine Of life
was tending to crush out the true mean
ing of Sunday keeping.
The material value OF life and things,
he declared, apparently had become OF
most import, Man, he said. tended in
this day 10 care more for the money that
could be derived from industry. associa-
ton and life than for assisting his fell
low man In spiritual education and in
the working out Of saliva don.

SAUL S CONVERSION
LESSON FOR WORLD
Evangelist Says Every Soul
Must Take Same Steps to
Reach Desired End.

THE Conversion OF Saul was the sub
Ject OF n powerful sermon at the Cen
tral Christian church yesterday morning
by DR.. O. $. Reed evangelist. who Is
conducting a series OF special gospel
meetings. Services will be held night
ly during the Week with the exception
of Saturday Good attendance and live
ly Interest mark the services. In the
course OF his sermon yesterday morning
DR.. Reed said
Christianity as presented In the
New Testament scriptures is a per-
fecl means unto the end TO be ac-
complishcd, to-wit: the salvation of
souls. Saul of Tarsus is the most
notable instance OF conversion re-
corded In the scriptures His influ-
enee upon humanity has been great

lures throb and thrill with Pauline
teaching, The story of his conver-
sion is thrice recorded In the book;
first, as given by Luke In the ninth
OF the Acts OF the Apostles; again,
In the sermon upon the stairs In the
city or Jerusalem, rs recorded In the
twenty-second chapter. and. last his
defense before Agrippa, as set forth
In the twenty sixth chapter. The
steps that Paul took are the same as
those recorded In every story of con-
version presented in God s book. The
was the one miraculous element In
troduced into the story. Paul's be-
ing commissioned to preach 10 the
Gentiles was the one factor which
dlfferentiates this from other stories
OF conversion. The steps Of faith.
confession and obedience are the
same as required on Pentecost. of
the Phillipian jailer and OF the
eunuch- Gods plan is that by imam
unto men shall his word be pro-
claimed" Pardon was not spoken
to the soul OF Saul by the Christ, but
he was directed to Annanias, who. by
divine Intervention had been pre-
pared for his reception, and who said
to him: "And now why Earliest thou?
Arise and be baptized and wash away
thy sins"
There are those who would Ike
the same experience with Saul In
conversion, With the exception OF
the wondrous encompa ssing light and
the voice OF Christ bearing the great
commission, all may have the same
experience. Indeed, nil must, IL they
would claim the promise, take these
same steps.
