A SUCCESS FROM THE FIRST DAY

In San Francisco the war is forgot ten. The Panama Pacific exposition. which opened on Saturday, has justi- fled all that the many press agents said about it in advance, and can be considered an absolute success from the first day. The attendance so far has been tremendous, and it would be difficult to imagine any cause which can impede the prosperous and joyous continuation of the greatest of world S fairs
 San Francisco, California, and the United States generally are to be con- graduated heartily on the indomitable spirit of optimism which has made success possible. At a time when the whole world is plunged into chaos, San Francisco is stepping into the role of genial host to all who seek her bor- ders. There were many who argued that the celebration Should be post

was experienced when it was heard, for it proved scholarly powerful utter ance, based upon the often described ''old time religion stated in the phrase more consonant with modern life,' marking back to the fundamentals
 During the course of his remarks in addltiap to the striking sentences set out above Bishop Mouzon gave a strik- ing tribute to Methodism as a means of hastening civilization. Methodism he said produced Charles Wesley, the greatest hymn writer of the ages; Geo. Whitfield the greatest orator of any age; and John Wesley, the most won- derful evangelist since the apostles. AS a result of the work of these men in the eighteenth century English society had been brought back to a realization of the fundamentals of life and society. Spreading to America the Methodist itinerant preacher had been always in the forefront of pioneering and wher- ever went the pioneer there was the inherent with his gospel. A great chapter is to be written in American history that will give credit to these men for the work they wrought under divine guidance.
 His reference to the present catalysm that is raging in Europe was masterly. He referred to the journey away from the real things of life that has been made in many sections prior to the war, and stated that now in the midst of ctv;f nd hA minds of men are turning to God. He spoke of the great revival that is talk ing place in Russia, France, Austria, Germany, Britain, how the attendance upon divine worship and the love for home country and God is becoming greater with every passing day. How the countries are beginning to see the transitoriness of everything material, and the steadfastness and eternal ver- ity of the things spiritual, and that out of all of the chaos, the people will get nearer to God and God will come nearer to his people.
 The Meeting for Men.
 Taking for his text the beatitude, Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God,'' Bishop Mouzon delivered a strong and telling ad- dress to an audience of men that half-filled the Columbia theatre in the afternoon. The meeting was the first of a series being held under the auspices of the Y. NJ. c. A.
 What man sees depends upon ,What a man is," said Bishop Mou- zon. No two of us see exactly the same world. It's a deplorable kind of world some of us see, but the pure in heart see the good things
 in the world, and see God also. The pure heart is the medium through which we see God, the telescope

 phans, they have no Father in hea-
 ven. They are stone deaf, and al-
 though the breezes. the stars and all nature sound of God, they can not hear
 Emphasizing the necessity of pur Iity in mind and life, the speaker said that happiness came not to those who were seeking it, but by
 not seeking for it. Happiness" he
 said, lies within a man. It does not depend on what he does, or has, but what he is. The power to say nc to temptations, he declared, was often the determining factor in 8 mans life. Christ did not come
 he said, to stifle the desire in men, hut to purify desire. He did not come to shut off the stops, but
 to open the full organ, and to give
 life more apundantly.
 "The pure in heart see God not in nature alone said the bishop, but also in history. We are liv- ing in times that will make history for 1000 years to come. In the
 days to come there will never again be a kings war, and I hope there'll
 never be any war. It's not Chris tianity that's bankrupt in Europe, it's everything else that has failed. If they had tried Christianity it
 wouldn't have happened"
 In closing the speaker said, With out holiness, no man can see God. When God goes out of a mans life there's nothing left What does the world mean to any man who gets riches and loses God? The man who
 has lost God has lost himself,
 and the man who has found God
 has found himself and the world

 place.
 The Revival Meetings. There will be two services daily during the entire series of meetings.
 One in the morning. from 10 to II. and the other in the evening at
 7:30
 The bishop, in his announcement said that he was going to make his
 own dates and that he was not go- ing to talk about anything but the
 meeting to anybody. He doubted not that there were numbers of people
 who were anxious to talk about many
 matters to him, but he came not
 here for that purpose. He declined
 invitations to take a night meal with
 any of the people. He proposed, he
 said, to see that everybody worked,
 and did not propose to do all the work himself
 At night he preached another mas terly sermon. while a chorus choir of sixty voices. under the direction of Rev. John Allan of Bethel. lead off with thirty minute song service prior to the preaching serv-
 ice. The congregation at night was if anything. larger than that in the morning.

BY FIRST YEAR MEN

Princeton, N j.. Oct 6.-~In a long
scrimmage today between the varsity
and freshman teams. the 1919 men
took the Tigers entirely by surprise
by exhibiting a powerful defense and
holding the first string men to two
hard-earned touchdowns time after
time The varsity would rush the ball
down the field only to be held on the
goal line by the plucky freshmen
The yearlings also showed that they
had flashing attack and repeatedly
broke through the Tiger line for sub
etantial gains. Coach Rush seemed
unable to get the varsity men started
on a consistent offensive, the fresh
men often getting the jump on their
opponents and breaking up the play
before gain was made The f1rst
touchdown was made by Lamberton,
and the second by Rahlll on a for
ward pass.

for parents to send the babies in per-

parents may register the babies II the
weather Is too Indictment to bring the
tots to the Capitol Another point,
which seems to have been generally
about the contest. Is
that the final prizes will be awarded

primary Idea OF the contest ia to pick
the physically perfect children of Vir

child OF course. il the contest mar
rows GOWN 10 TWO physically perleCt
children. the Judges would probably
be justified in picking the prettiest--
all else being equal. The idea Is TO
inspire in parents the wisdom of health

To date about eighty babies have
been entered and the ladies confident
ly expect that they will have reached
the Limitation fixed--three hundred
before they close their quarters at the
Capitol Saturday noon. If not the
registration will be continued at the
fair grounds.
e Governor Stuart was again per-
sonai visitor TO the registration quar-
ters yesterday as on the previous day
and manifested great personal interest
in the work the women are doing.
One feature of this work Is that the
literature which Is being used by the
ladies', including the tationerv, etc,
was furnished them by the Woman's
Home Companion. and has been
widely distributed and Is exciting
much interest. The State of Virginia
has made no appropriation for this
