DIR. RIDLEY TALKS
ON CHRISTIAN LIFE
SAYS FOUR THINGS ARE NE0U0v
sARY To BECOME EFFEC- 81 !.
TIVE CHRISTIAN.

"An Effective Christian LffA's Wa
the subject of the sermon by DR..
Caleb A. Ridley. at the Grace-Stree&
Baptist church last night. DIR. Rid.
ley said in summing up his theme:
There are four things necessary to
become an effective Christian. First,
we must acknowledge our unworkht-
ness and slufuiness. Second, VIE must
ask forgiveness for our wrong-do1nga
and help in our efforts to be BETTER.
Third, we must accept Christ and lif0
teachings completely, and fourth, wa
must be willing and glad to act. to do
for the Lord in this world
In answering the question. How are
we TO be what we ought to be?" DR..
Ridley said:
'fUnitarianism says think good
thoughts, read good books and keep
good associates and you will be what
you ought 10 be. In the first place,
you can't do it. and If you could, the
points would be unsatisfactory and dis
appointing. Universalism says don't
worry, and all will be right at last
anyway. Christian Science says things
are all right now if you I'LL only ask
SO; that there Is no such thing ~
matter, that all Is mind. But it will
matter II you don't mind.
Now Jesus says TO us that He
realizes we are not what we ougils to
be, but that If we will come to Him
and give Him chance at our lives He
will lift US UP and bfess us until a.
last We shall be like Him.

DELIVERS LECTURE
ON MEXICAN WAR.
r. TENNYSON NELLY SHOWS TER
RIFLE SCENES ON CAN
VAS.

Before a fair audience in the audi
torium of the Jefferson hotel last
night. F. Tennyson Nicely, publisher.
lecturer and traveller. gave an inter-
esting lecture on Mexico. Owing to
the bad weather the crowd was DIS
appointing, inasmuch as the lecture
was for the benefit OF the Open Air
School fund. Mr.. Nicely is well known
throughout the country and his lee
ture illustrated with colored photo
graphs. on the barbarous Mexican war,
was little less than a sensation.
Having travelled extens We y
throughout the warning republic and
knowing personally many of the ma
tional figures, his talk was doubly in
teresting. For two hours he kept his
hearers in rapt attention as he depict
ed on canvas the terrible scenes en-
acted. Had the pictures not been
shown, some of the ,hinss told by Mr..
Nicely were unbelievable In regard
to the atrocities perpetrated In our
neighboring republic.
The war scenes were particularly In
teresting. Having been many years
In Mexico. and having known ex-
President Portfirio Diaz intimately Mr..
Neely's pictures were viewed last week
by the committee on foreign affairs In
Washington. when he explained the
actual conditions now existing.
His pictures showed the fighting in
and around Mexico City. with the dead
strewr along the streets, the huge pile
of dead bodies which were burned.
and the methods by which several
Americans met their death.
Perhaps the most interesting being
pictures that have not been Shown in
the United States were those of the
funeral of President Madero. Every
detail was fully covered. AS the pic
lures were shown. Mr.. Nelly gave full
explanation and when the lights were
again flashed on. he was heartily APP
plauded. The lecture was thoroushly
instructive and his hearers were loud
in their praise of his work.

Sen. Pages Position

Senator Page of Vermont is now
reported as likely to vote against
the repeal of the tolls exemption,
although originally supposed to be
favorable to repeal. The explana-
ton appears to be that in accordance
with his custom Senator Page has
been letting his constituents make
up his mind for him. The question
how far an elected legislator should
be obedient to his constituents and
when he should assert his individual
opinion, even though contrary to that
of his constituents, is one upon
which in theory at least there will
never be exact agreement. But this
much is certain; there can hardly be
another question upon which a sena-
tor or representative ought to be so
ready to follow the dictates of his
own conscience as a question relat-
ing to the plain and honorable in
depreciation of a treaty. Any re-
publican senator or representative
who invites the wholesale opinion
of his constituents on the tolls issue,
so that he may wObble to whichever
side shows a majority, can with i'll
grace oppose the progressive doc
trine of the recall of judicial deci-
sions. He has himself lodged the
