Traffic Cops Out.
The regulation OF traffic and the

by the police this morning. Officer
Parks was stationed on the upper
Main street beat and Officer Brennan
on lower Main street. These men
will advise all drivers when they make
mistakes in turning corners or when
they attempt to drive on the wrong
side OF the street.
It is the thory of Commissioner Col
Inns, who ordered this move, that the
drivers who violate the traffic ordin-
ances by driving improperly. do so
not because of desire to break the
law but because of ignorance of the
traffic rules. He hopes that after a
week or ten days of regulation by the
police that all drivers will exercise
greater care in driving, especially on
Main street. and that in this manner
accidents may in the future be re-
duced to great extent.

THE STOLEN SECRET"
IS PASTORS SUBJECT
DIR. Asbury Christian Says Strength
of Some Business Enterprises
Lis Secret.

AT Union Station Methodist Church
large congregation listened to o
sermon by the pastor, DR.. Asbury
Christian, on the subject. The Stolen
Secret" DIR. Christians text was the
words in connection with the life OF
Samson: Tell me. pray thee, whkre-
In thy great strength lieth." The
preacher told how the enemies OF
this Judge OF Israel had bribed a de-
signing woman to steal from him the
secret of his power and how Delilah
had used her arts until she discovered
that IL she could make Samson vio-
late the vow he made to God In child
hood she could steal away the secret
of his power. She cut off his hais:
the Lord departed from him; he be-
came q weakling in the hands of his
enemies. and they put out hts eyes.
This experience lis repeated day by
day, when the secret strength OF
character Is stolen from men and wo-
men, and they become as children In
the hands of the evil enemy. and
moral blindness soon overtakes them.
Professional Secrets.
BY way Of illustration, the preacher
showed how the strength of many q

secret. the value Of some great pro-
fessional secrets. and how nations
guarded the secret which was the
power OF their defense or onense.

EXPERIMENTAL FAITH
AND NOT THEORETICAL
"souls May Not BE Saved Through
Theoretical Religion" Says Rev.
J. r. Eggleston.

Rev. j. r. Egsleston. pastor of
Asbury Methodist Church. South Rich
mond. preached at Broad-street
Methodist Church last night on the
theme. Experimental Religion and
Faith" taking his text from St.
Paurs II know in whom l believe"
He declared that experimental or
real religion, and not theoretical or
scientific religion. was the true one
the only one upon which one could
depend for the reward of everlasting
life.
Experimental religion is necessary
to knowledge of God and assured
salvation" said the preacher. we do
not get such religion from libraries
or from bodies of theologians. They
cannot teach us half as much as ex-
pertence.
"St. Paul did not reach his con-
illusions by reading in books, but by
ward change; and he repeated his
experience. that of his conversion
through the Master Himself He
had seen the Lord, and knew Him
through the eye Of faith. st. Paul
was assured that His name was in
the Book of Life and that heaven was
His home.
"All who have the Pauline religion
have the true religion. and will be
welcomed into the life to come. Ex-
perimental faith is profitable and
necessary to place the right estimate
upon man. II gives all honor and
glory TO God. And the proper esti-
mate is placed on man through this
faith. which is necessary to evan
gelize the world.
Faith in God Is due to personal
experience. We cannot testify until
we have seen and felt and heard.
Not until then can we go out into
the world and testify for God. Teach
ers must be armed with personal SAL
walton. not with theory They must
Society and governments go along
In their old ways, working under
theories. and their systems are the
same. What they need is the appli-
cation OF religion with life, spirit
and conscience which will lift them
into the realm OF righteousness. The
trouble is we have given to the work.
the theory OF religion and not the
real religion. We must carry the real
message. not a theoretical one. All
nations could be lifted through Christ,
and the sword would be beaten into
a piowshare and peace would reign on
earth.
Let us lay aside theoretical religion
and take up experimental. and the
community and the world will be the
better
