great state asks that the Liberty Bell
the most precious historic heritage
that Philadelphia possesses-be per-
mitted for time to rest within its bor-
ders, and so add its presence to the
glory with which the nation shall cele-
brate the completion of the greatest
engineering triumph that the world
has ever known, a great, glorious Am
erican triumph, there are those, who,
with the narrow provincialism that
has been with US as long as glory has
been with US, shout "No! Mo-"
Let Japan send the best it has to
make the name of the United States
glorious before the world; let France
send the best it has to make the name
of the United States glorious before
the world; let the Pope of Rome send
the priceless treasures of the Vatican
to make the name of the United States
glorious before the world, but the pull
backs cry Philadelphia must refuse to
send its best to make the name of the
United States glorious before the
world; it must keep its best for its own
secret delectation, under the domina-
ton of a few private societies and let
the glory of the American name gC
hang.
And the most wretched contempla
ton of the whole situation is this, that
while Philadelphia holds the legal title
to two thousand pounds of bronze, the
Liberty Bell, with its world historic
sentiment, with all that makes it some
thing far greater than a mass =
broken metal, is in justice and equity
the property of the whole American
people from the St. Lawrence to the
Gulf, from the Atlantic to the Pacific
and of those who are guarding our flag
in the far away islands of the sea.
1 How few trouble themselves to &c
down to Independence hail to vener-
ate the old bell! For many years
those at home suffered it to lie covered
with dust and forgotten in a cellar
Perhaps it was familiarity that bred
contempt. But the old bell never left
its shrine to carry it's message to some
distant part, that our countrymen die
not gather by the way in their thou,
sands to do it honor and to stimulate
and refresh their American patriotism
with sight of the messenger of liber.
ty. And if it shall traverse the coun.
try to the shore of the Pacific, it viii,

pass through a lane as broad as the
continent of Americans whose devotion
to flag and country no man can doubt.
When some years ago an effort was
made to have the court prevent the
councils from sending the bell to the
exposition at Atlanta, Judge Thayer
decided that the bell could go and said:
"It is proper exercise of the city's
ownership and dominion over it's own
property. 1t violates no mans rigts.
1t offends against no public rights, nc
private rights. The bell is not thing
to be laid up in lavender, impounded
and, like Grand Llama, secreted for
ever in the dim seclusion of Indepen-
dence hall from outside barbarians.
"But it was suggested that the
transportation of the bell might be at
tended with danger-that it might be
broken or injured. Well, the bell for
tunately is not made of fine china. but
is solid mass of over two Thousand
pounds of metal, and has endured for
nearly one hundred and fifty years, al
though several times sent on such pa
triotic journeys, the only injury it ever
experienced being when it was cracked
while hanging in its accustomed place
in the steeple, and being tolled on July
8, 1885, as a mark of respect to the
memory of John Marshall, of Virginia
the chief justice of the United States
then lying dead in Philadelphia.
81 am therefore clearly of opinion
that so far from violating any princi-
pie of law in so doing, or any public
or private right, the city authorities
are in the performance of an act both
lawful and laudable, and which not
only does not deserve legal animad-
version, but is in itself entirely proper
and praiseworthy."
Much is now made of the circum-
stance that Senator Penrose, Senator
McNichol and Senator Ware have sign
ed paper, gotten up by a birthright
ancestral society, asking the mayor to
prevent the Liberty Bell from taking
part in the celebration of the compile
tion and opening of the Panama canal,
Why is so much stress laid upon the
names of these men. For the simple
reason that they are political bosses
and will be expected to take members

vent them from giving voice to any ex-

Sermons Delivered In
Local Pulpits Yesterday

Sunday morning Rev. A. L. Kin
ter, instead of preaching a sermon,
gave report of the Southern Cali
fornia Baptist State Convention held
at. San Diego, January IL to Is. He
spoke of the places of interest he and
Mrs. Kinter and Leonard Stokely, to-
pether with Rev. and Mrs. Amos Rob-
inson of Holtville, visited on the trip,
the acquaintances and leaders of the
denominational work they met at the
convention and the inspiration of the
occasion. Rev. Kinter then took up
the features of the program that were
of special interest, especially the work
of the leading societies of the denom-
ination-the Publication Society,
which is preaching the gospel in 30
different languages and has won 5000
converts in 1913; the Home Mission
Society, which has established hun
dreds of Sunday schools and built
llldly Clul SuCo III CiiC PetoC y SeA eiiN
Foreign Mission Society, whose mis-
sionaries, especially from Japan, were
present and gave interesting ad-
dresses, accompanied by stereopticon
views; and the State Convention, do.
ing work in southern California in
connection with the churches of all
sizes, and helping the weaker ones
Rev. Kinter also spoke of the evan
gelistic session closing the convention
Many present thought the uplift of
such meeting such that they would
try to attend next year.
Sunday evening the subject of the
discourse was "Hungering and Thirst
ing After Righteousness" The pas
tors purpose was to give an under
standing of what righteousness really
consisted in, to impress upon the
minds of all who heard him that a
hungering and thirsting for this is
the natural and healthful condition
rather than indifference to it; and to
emphasize some of the many blessings
TO be derived from it. The personal
question is:
"Do we hunger and thirst after
righteousness?

New York Runs
Lodging House
By Carlton Ten Eyck.

w iiCISii ioI ciiS VI L ICooD
New York, Jan. 26.-The recent
unprecedented cold snap in New
York, when old Boreas went on
rampage and kicked the mercury
down to the lowest notch recorded
in fourteen years, worked untold
hardships on the poor of the metrop-
oils and gave the upper half some
new light on how the other half live
When the thermometer dropped to 5
degrees below zero, a 74-mile gale
swept up the bay to add to the de-
moniacal glee of the elements, and
death and destruction were left in it's
wake.
In this great city, with it's billions
of wealth, it's thousands of houses, it's
palaces and hotels, its refugees and
charitable institutions, several persons
actually were frozen to death. Others
were made so ill they died. The cold
wave, in various ways, took toll of
sixteen lives.
Perhaps the most popular place in
town during the forty-eight hours of
exceptional cold was the Municipal
Lodging House on the East river
There upwards of 1000 persons were
cared for nightly. Among them were
thirty women, all with babies and
small children. Those 1000 men and
those mothers and their little ones
had no home at all They were wan
derers in the city, sleeping in good
weather in parks, empty buildings and
such places, and eating what they
could find. Assuredly in the below
zero weather they would have per-
ished but for the city's charity.
The Municipal Lodging House was
an interesting place during the rush
hours. 1t has accommodations for
1,200 persons. The women and chill
dren and the male overflow were
cared for on boats anchored at the
foot of East Twenty third street. The
boats are owned by the city. Many
of the homeless men, the confirmed
"hoboes," preferred to sleep on the
boats, for then they were not COM
PEELED to take baths. The boats are
not provided with bathing facilities.
But all comers at the lodging house
are compelled to take shower baths.
When the applicants first apply they
are registered and given brass checks.
which they are told to
hang around their necks. They then
file through dining room, where
each man is given a huge hunk of
bread and tin cup of steaming cof-
fee. The men are then sent to a dis
robing room, where they are com
PEELED to shed all their clothing. Dur
ing the night their under garments
if they have any-are fumigated

vised to put them inside their shoes

sary that the power of Christ come
into mans life and aid him. He spoke
on the fact that changing peoples
lives by environment did not change
their hearts. To illustrate this point
DR.. Baker told two stories.
At former pastorate an old wom
an was found living in state Of filth
and poverty in the very slum of
existence. The people of the church
placed the woman in a nice house,
and provided her with clean bedding,
table linen, dishes and clothes; in fact,
everything that one would want.
Within a very short time the pastor
paid visit to the old woman's new
home and, instead of finding every
thing fresh and clean, the home was
in the same state of filth as the for
mer one-the slum was in the woman's
heart and environment alone would not
change it.
On the other hand, during a serv-
ice at the church one night middle
aged man came to the altar and pre-
fessed conversion. He was down il
the gutter from the cause of drink;
He was the father Of large family.
A visit to his home showed deplorable
conditions. His wife and children were
without proper clothing and shoes
there was nothing to eat and scant
bedding. A second visit was made to
the home, but everything was changed
The family was well clothed, rugs
were on the floor, food was in the
cupboard and all were happy. The
mans heart had been changed and
with it his environment.
At the service four members were
taken into the church by letter and
three babies were baptised. For the
musical service Mr.. l.. p. Alexander
sang "There Is Land" and an an
them was rendered by the choir
Somebody Cares"
For the evening service the pastor
took as his theme "God SO Loved the
World" taken from the text:
"For God so loved the world that
he gave his only begotten son, that
whosoever believeth on him should not
perish, but have everlasting life" John
iii:16.
Rev. Baker spoke on the four di-
mensions of the verse-breadth
length, depth and height.
He took as the breadth, "God so
loved the world" He pictured the
worst forms of sin in life; how men
have gone to such extremes in life
that even human beings have turned
away in loathsomeness; but God so
loved even these that he sent his son.
Love cannot be inactive. 1t must Gre
ate, care for and give itself for it's
offspring. What else can love do but
spend itselm in redemption.

back their belongings in the morn
ing.
Following the disrobing, the men
are herded into the bathroom, huge
apartment in which there are scores
of showers. AS they enter the room an
attendant swats each man vigorously
on the head with a club of soft wood
thickly coated with soft soap. The
soap that sticks to the mans head
is what he must use for his bath.
The newcomers always dodge the
club, thinking it will hurt them, and
the old timers, used to the ropes,
laugh heartily at the novices.
At the showers each man is given
coarse scrubbing brush and told to
use it. Attendants through the room
see that the soap and brushes are
used thoroughly and any lodger re-
luctant to take to the water, brush
and soap is scrubbed by an attend
ant. Cleanliness is insisted upon in
the lodging house. Once clean, the
men are marched through a small
room for medical inspection. They
are examined thoroughly and all all
ments are given attention. Each
man is thoroughly fumigated. If an
applicant is found to have an injury
or serious disease, he is at once
sent to Bellevue hospital for treat
ment. The bathing and inspection
over, the men are given night robes,
in the shape Of sleeping bags, of
coarse but clean material, and sent
to bed in huge dormitories
Early in the morning they are
walked up and taken to the first room
they entered, where, in return for
their brass checks, they receive then
clothing. The dining room is the mex
stop, where the lodgers are given oat-
meal and milk, bread and coffee. They
are then sent out into the world again
all but twenty men who are kept in
the lodging house to clean up thl
place. These men launder the bed
clothing and night robes and wash the
plates and cups. When their tasks
are finished they are allowed to go
No work is required of the citys
.boarders, in return for the food and
shelter given them, except the clean
up work imposed on a few. The at
tendants are careful not to pick the
same men more than once for the
work.
I Regular attendance at the lodging
house does not give a man immunity
from the compulsory bathing and the
medical inspection. Familiar appli-
cants, known from repeated appear
ance, are forced to obey all the rules,
the same as the newcomers.
During the two coldest nights re

Methodist Church.

Rev. A. L. Baker took for his sub
ject for the Sunday morning service
at the Methodist Episcopal church
"The Guilt and Power of SIM" The
text of the sermon was from the Fif.
ty-first Psalm:
"Have mercy on me, o God, ac.
cording to thy loving kindness; ac.
cording unto the multitude of thy ten.
der mercies blot out my transgres.
Sions."
The foundation of the pastors dis
course was that sin is in the hearts
of all men, present condition and
state that humanity is in. To get
away from this sin, he said, it is neces-
