REWARD OF SIN IS
NAU6AT BUT DEATH
DIR. RIDLEY breaches TO THE
LARGEST CONGREGATION
OF SERIES.

DR.. c. A. Ridley. In his revival SER
mon at Grace Street Baptist church
last night, preached to the largest
congregation of the series of meetings
on Jerusalem and Jerico.'' He
showed how the man who goes down
in sin is stripped of all he has and
is left beaten and half dead
'Sin is sure TO strip You" he de-
clared. You can't get around that
established fact. Sin may make you
believe at first, when you enter it.,
that the rewards are great and the
way easy. j tell you the rewards are
death and the way Is hard
The evangelist said also: The
time will be always ripe for the con-
version of sinners. but will the sins
ner be converted? Can he be? That
is question. sin kills people. He
may be dead before he Is saved
Yesterday was the most successful
day In the series thus far. There
were thirty-two conversions at the
Sunday school and evening meetings,

plenished, the slower 1t is to take its

NEW YORK. March 22.--The hand
OF the anarchis.. waseh IS beginning
10 be seen carrying the banner in the
demonstrations os the unemployed, is
a perfectly natural development in
the situation. according 10 Frank Tan
ments against the restaurants and
ehi rs es. Tannebaum told vcur re-
porter today in the fofa.,s where
he is now held awaiting trial en- d
felony charge of inciting 10 riot. mat
thee is no sharp line iiv,dini, the
theories OF the anarchists and the
practices of the /. ". w.
There is sharp line dividing the
Socialists from both Of the other
movements. he said. and he expressed
the difference this way:
The Socialist movement is a pollt-
ical movement. Socialists believe N
petltiening those In power to help
the working classes, and the unem-
ployed The /. w. w. believes that
the right way to correct presentda
evils - TO get the unemployed 10 help
themselves. and If they lack the power
to do II lawfully. help themselves any
how, regardless of the laws.
Industrial Movement.
The /. ". W. movement and the
anarchist movement is Industrial. and
not political: they both believe mat
the evils to he corrected are economic,
and only political as far az legisla-
tion and politics affect living condi-
tions."
So Taunchaum Is not displeased
that Emma Goldman and Alexander
Berkman and others of that type. are
coming 70 the front in the demonstra-
tions OF the unemployed The inter
view today was prompted by the
thought that the anarchists have
taken possession of the unemployed.
and that possibly the l. w. w. iead
ers. particularly Tannenbaum. might
show a little feeling against Emma
Goldman. who took up collection OF

starved any more. From now on
we are going 10 work on the theory
Of an eye for an eye, and sometimes.
maybe. we'll take two eyes for one

He branded as ridiculous the plan
of the unemployed on the Pacific
coast TO march on to Washington.
What good would that do them ?"
he demanded There is nothing IN
Washington that they want. They
want bake shops and shelter, and they
have all that where they are"
