SAYS 'DO-AOTH|NCS'
ARE worlds worst
Evangelist White Tells His
Audience TO Be Up and
Doing for Church
EXALTS MAN WHO
DOUBLES TALENT

1T is not the thief, the liar. the
murderer or the white SLAYER who is
the worst man in the world, but it is
the man who does nothing"
This statement was made last night
by the Rev 3. Frank White, of Jersey
City in his sermon in Harrison Street
NJ. +. Church on the subject of "The
Man With the One Talent" The evan
gelist said this man had hidden
his talent and when he returned it to
the Lord was upbraided for not hav-
ing put il to use and was ordered to
be cast into outer darkness.
Mr.. White said that of late years
there has been a great outcry against
wealth and especially corporate
wealth. He stated that many people
thought that very rich man was
necessarily a bad man and a poor man
usually a good one. He said this
idea was not in accordance with the
teaching of the Bible. He stated that
the man with the FIVE talents who had
doubled his money was exalted and
that Christ said that TO him who hath
shall be given, but from him that hath
not shall be taken away even that
which he hath. He declared that this
showed that Christ liked man who
had made a success of life. Mr..
White stated that IL he was TO give
81 900 to any one last night and this
person was to return next Sunday
with $4,000, many would say that the
extra thousand was gotten dishonest
ly. He said that the more money one
had the easier II was to get ad-
ditional money.
Mr.. White is conducting an evan
gelistic campaign in Harrison Street
Church which will close next Sunday.
The church was filled at all the SER
vices yesterday and last night the
audience overflowed into the Sunday
school room. There will be services
every night this week at 7.45 o'clock
with the exception of Saturday
At the morning service Mr.. White
took for his subject: "The Lord is
Perfect" Mr.. White said that an el-
derly woman some years ago had Of
Tered to make him her heir If he would
give up preaching. but he declined
She died FIVE years later leaving an
estate valued at 100000. He said he
was glad he had declined the offer al
though he may die poor man. Az
this service a duet He's All in All "a
Me-" was sung by Harry B. Hygate
and Mrs. Wilmer c. Highfeld.
At $3.50 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Mr. White conducted a meeting fol
women only when he urged the wo.
men TO get busy looking after the un-
saved. He said they should get theii
unsaved husbands and sons into th'
church. There was a song service
conducted by Miss Ethel Groves. Miss
Braden sang a solo. A large delega
ton of women from the First United
Presbyterian Church attended.

walk and broke his leg.
Miss Frances Reed, acting superin-
tendent of Delaware Hospital was the
first witness called. When asked II
she had the records OF the hospital
showing the admission and discharge
of jenkins, City Solicitor Hastings
objected but the objection was over
ruled. When the records we're offer
ed in evidence another objection was
raised and the offer was withdrawn.
Finally the records we're admitted.
They showed that Jenkins was ad-
mitted and discharged from the hos
pital after suffering from a broken
leg. DR.. Joseph p. Wales testified to
having attended the patient who was
suffering from a broken leg.

minister OF the A. NJ. E. Church and is
&c years old. On the morning of Feb

women, and as he stepped 10 the right
fell, breaking his leg, and his since
suffered considerably.
In cross-examination, Mr.. Jenkins
said he left the Delaware Hospital
against the wish of the attendants.
Ambrose Wilson. Daniel Rachln
and Mrs. Lena Piner gave testimony
concerning the account, after which
City Solicitor Hastings asked for a
non-suit, on the ground that the plain
tiff had failed to prove negligence. on
the part Of the city.
