METHoDIsTs SEE BIG
 PERIL IN MORMONiSM.
Address at New England Southern Conference, in Session at New Bed ford. !

A uniyersial attack on M0rmoniSm described as the greatest evil of the present day" was urged Saturday aft ernoon before the New England South ern Conference of the Methodist retary of the Anti M orrnonisn society, in a speech on Present Day Mormon ism. before the delegates assembled at New Bedford
 Mr McPhie said that at every large gathering, such as in a theater or at a large meeting in Providence, Boston and other cities in this section of the country, there were two delegates of AlOrmoniSm on hand.
 These elders said MT. McPhie "are young, wei dressed men of pleasin ap- pearance not the bearded aged men through some courtesy make them seI,res agreeable to any attractive young woman in the audience If she is unattended he points out street car or performs some other small cour- tesg and in this way learns her ad- dress. Then follows a campaign, winch, if she is foolish or a. bit sentimental, will end in a journey to Utah, where she will be the plural wife of Nor nfCft ei;:er.
 T claim that Mormonism is a twin curse Il V ite slavery; 1 claim it is worse. Mormonism is preached by fraud Mormonism is practiced by faUd. It is carried on and practiced under the name of religion. For the defense of the American home I say, in tie r.anle of God this traffic must be sc;I,Dcd."
 The conference is discussing the ad visibility of the purchase of the Attle- boro sanatorium as home for super annuated clergymen. A committee has been appointed to prepare a report for the conference. Dr. J. I. Bartholo- meyS is chairman of the committee and the other members are Dr. Mathi- as S. Kaufman, Rev. G. c. Scrivener, Rev. s. o. Benton. Rev. J. s. Wads- worth, Rev Dr. Newton and Rev. E. $.

It was opened in 1908 as the result of medicinal springs found by a Boston doctor, but complications arose between the partners to the enterprise and the institution was closed for seV- eraI years. Tn 1909 is was opened un- der the direction of Dr. c. C. Nicola, formerly of Battle Creek. A stock company was formed in Attleboro and John M. Fisher. owner of the property, turned his holdings into the company ir exchange for common. stock.

Yankowski One of the Yanlowsl<i boys said that a boy named John had rung the box and run away, but when Chief Stanton took him to the house where he said John" lived he said that John wasn't the boy.
 Policeman Thomas Brock later took the older boy down to the police sta ton where Chief Linton tried to get him to confess that he had rung the box The little fellow told of three other boys whose first names he gave and said they had done it. He also told of a man on q steam bicycle , as he called il, who rang the alarm and then rode away The Yankowsli boy also described just how he saw boy reach up with a stick and pull down the knob to ring the alarm. but he would not admit that he was describ- ing what he had done himself, al though an older brother in the family tried to get him to tell.
 The recall was struck as soon as the company got to the box. turning back the large crowd that had started up from the center of the city to To- cate the fire. The autochemical from the Central station also answered the call

PHILADELPHIA PASTOR AT CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH. Rev. James A. Maxwell Filled the Pull
 pit at Both Services.

At the Central Baptist church Sun daN evening the sermon was by Key. James A. Maxwell of Philadelphia He took his text from Matt. IS: 24. If any man will come after me. let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me" l know he said, of no words of Jesus Christ to men more gniIcant of the, service we are bound to render him. Every word adds a meaning to the statement. You will ote that Christ puts himself as the
 object of our following and service. The essence of the Christian religion is not in thel souls relation to the hurch or it's obedience to ordi nance, but in the souls relation to Jesus Christ. No church or principle has significance except as it bears upon the souls relation to Christ.
 In these words we are enjcired to deny ourselves. This does not mean to go without certain things which we de sire in order that we may satisfy other the comforts of life. but this IS not the denial to which Christ refers. The pugiist denies himself that he may pluck victory from the cruel arena. This is not the denial of Christ. He means the denial of self in service for another This is what he desires that We cease living for ourselves and live for others. We live for ourselves Tor the other fellow. I do not know Christ until I know service for an other. Mas as a Christian is just as strong as his life lies within another He asks us to follow Him. who gave His life for others.
 He asks that each, one take up his CWn cross. We cannot carry Christ's cross and he does not ask that we carry another's. He said let him take up his cross" Each one of us has a cross. What is this cross which each must bear2 For whosOeVer shall save his life shall lose it and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shalI ind it again. Christ means that l am to lose my self life not my physical fife The cross which I must bear is ray self life. l must follow Christ with my self life to Calvary and there crucify it. The self life must be nail cd uo until it dies. Paul said T am cruciied with Christ and live again. and yet not l my Christ in me- It is self, and yet no one knows what it is
 he crucifixion of life for himself This is the greatest lesson of Christianity and may Christ help us to learn IT.
 The law of Christian service is the law of carna1 sacrifice. Carnal man is not subject to the law of God and it not. so this sacrifice is d fight against the natural man. The kingdom serves the vegetable the vegetable kingdom serves the lower animals. and they in turn offer themselves to man. Man, too, is here for a Durpose-tO serve the higher kingdom. the kingdom of God.
 Rev. MT. Maxwell was also the preacher at the morning service.
