CONSULT GOD IN BUSINESS.
DR.. Hardin Tells How Meat Packer
Who Did So Escaped Trouble.

The folly Of making big plans. or any
plans. without consulting God was illus
trated by Rev. Dir. Edward X. Hardin.
OF the Mount Vernon Place Method st
Church, in his sermon last night on
blindness and Indifference to Sim
When. in the course of organizing the
beef trust, according to DIR. Hardin, the
packers were waiting for decision, one
man said he must consult with his wife.
The wife suggested that he ask God. and
on deep consideration the packer refused
to join the trust. Consequently. in the
trust investigation. this packer. on the
witness stand, was able to declare that
he had never accepted a cent OF rebate
from the railroads Any one Of the
other packers would have given much
good money to have been able to make
the same statement at that time, said
DIR. Hardin.

you like. what Mike Gibbons is going

gladiators will foregather individual

remark that if there is a chance of
getting Freddie Welsh, the English
lightweight (who has spoiled Willie

Frederick has just returned from a
