DELIVERS SECOND IN
SERIES OF SERMONS
Carmel, the Mountain of Decision, -
is Topic of Rev. c. \. Decker
at First Baptist.

Carmel. the Mount of Decision"
the second of a series of Sunday even
ing sermons being delivered by Rev.
Charles A. Decker, pastor of the First
Baptist church, was given last night
at the church. The general theme is
Trips to the Mountains"
a mountain was a fitting place for
the scene that is recorded in the 18th
chapter of Kings Elijah had gath
cred all the priests of the false relig-
ions TO make a test as 10 which was
the real God-Jeh Ovah or Baal. And
at the conclusion of the trial the peo-
pie were TO decide. Elijah cries. How
long halt We between two opinions?
If the Lord be God, follow him; but if
Baal. then follow him
Here are recorded all the cOndi-
tions that enter into a decision. First
we find an apostate people. The al
tars of Jehovah had been broken
down. And many were bowling before
the mere name of a god that did not
exist. We are living in a day when
many affairs are brOkn down. This
means that there is no religious life,
and God is forgotten by those who
were once loyal TO Him and His
church. without the altar there is no
worship. But one says, can't we be
good and acceptable before God with
and wOrshipping before the altar of
God in the sanctuary Ask yourself
if YOU can. rather if you have. When
the altar is broken down sin has its
way and the once devOut worshiper of
the Lord is found bowling the knee
before Baal.
but Elijah is faithful to God.
though no doubt it has been hard TO
be so in a rebelliOus nation. And he
breaches with great power the mes
sage that God is still in heaven and
among his people.
The prophet offers nothing new. 1t
is the old old story. The story Of the
grace of God that saves the world. one
of the interesting and distressing
things about our own time is the peo-
pie are constantly looking for a new
way of salvation But the truth is be-
ing Just as constantly forced back up
on us that there is no new way. God
has evidently ordained that we will be
saved by the old method Of repent
ance and faith. if at all. There may
he new fashioned ways of presenting
the truth. but il is the same old truth
after all"

REPRODUCTION OF
SOUND AND SPEECH
BY Sidney EpSey

WASHINGTON, June 14.-An inter-
esting study of the art Of recording
and reproducing sound is presented In
a series OF instruments and records
shown in the National museum at
Washington.
These records show that to Charles
eros belongs the honor Of first sug-
costing the idea OF mechanically re-
producing speech; although Thomas
\. Edison was the first TO reproduce
speech itself. eros presented a paper
10 the Academy Of Sciences Of Paris in
1877 but this paper was not read un-
til Edison had produced the first
talking machine"
The first invention connected with
the photograph was the phenaute-
graph OF Leon Scott in 1857. the mu-
scum records show. This invention

Subject of Rev. W. III.
FreShley's Sermon.

evening while speaking on the sub
iect. Samson; or a Weak Strong

The weakest man physically may
easily be the strongest one mentally
and have the best control over his
will power. while the strong man

times. NAV be very weak mentally

samson. although strong man.

life. First he disObeyed his father and
newt he married a heather. and he
inaIlv made a big mistake by marry
irg another. the same as his first
vie after she was taken away from
him. We find Moses who was a wise
man showing a great weakness when
he refused 10 follow Christ and many
other men of the Bible who have
nroved themselves strong In some way
have fallen short in other points OF
life.
a man can only be strong while ne

MINISTER REPORTS ON
GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Rev. II. b. Hostetter Tells of Progress
Made by the Presbytcr-
Ian Church.

The recent national gathering Of the
FresDyterians in the general assembly
NJ Rochester y. Y. was discussed
by Rev. r. p. Hostetter. pastor OF
Westminster Presbyterian church on
Sunday evening In part he said:
Reports from all quarters were unan-
imous that the past ecclesiastical year
was the best in the history OF the
church. All boards OF the church
representing the nine departments Of
OF its religious activity. have made
noteworthy advance. The church has
received more during the past year
than ever before.
The hoard OF foreign missionaries
began the past year with "A deficit
ing the IL months 10 $4,000 and the
outlook is that the slate will soon be
wiped clean
a rising tide OF spiritual power
has been especially evident in recent
years. The addition 10 the Presby-
terrain church on confession Of faith
in 1911 was y. 900: in 1912 the num-
Der was 10 600; in 1913, $4,000; in
1914 $4,000. while the report this
year showed $4,000. being at least
20. 900 more than the church has
ever received on confession in any
one year before. At present the Pres
byterian church has "A membership Of
100000. To this number 100000 is
added, these others TO be found IN
other branches of the Presbyterian
church in the United States.
Great enthusiasm was manifest
ed in the periods set apart for the
consideration of temperance. No 9TH
er year in the worlds history has seen
such progress in the fight on the
liquor traffic. The PRESBYTERIAN
church has been pioneer in the tenn
perance work. Benjamin Rush, a
Presbyterian elder. was the father Of
modern temperance reform. The first
total abstinence society of which we
have authentic record was organized
by the Presbyterian minister. Rev.
Joel Jewel of New York ThS Pres
byterian church was the first OF all

had for its purpose the recording of
sound vibrations upon a cylinder TOta-
ted by hand. The vibrations were re-
corded on a carbon-coated cylinder by
a light stylus attached TO a vibrating
diaphragm. This record could not be
reproduced and was used merely to
study sound waves. The stylus and
the vibrating diaphragm however Ia
ter became important features of the
talking machine. A machine of this
type is among the museum collections.
The first talking machine" pro-
duced by Edison. as shown in the
collection, consisted of a little revolv-

Berliner, and first introduced in 1887.
In this instrument the sound vibra-
tiOns are first recorded in a delicate
film Of wax or fatty substance spread
on the surface Of a nat zinc disc. The

etched by means Of chronic acid into

THE CASE OF DIR. DUMBA.

It seems certain that President Wilson and
Secretary Lansing would not ask for the recall
Of Dr. Gonstantin Dumba unless the Austrian
ambassador were guilty of the grave offense
charged against him. That offense Tof pro-
posing 10 his government plans to instigate
strikes IN American munition factories lis pc
cnliarly obnoxious. It is no secret that agents
Of both the Allies and the Teutons are abroad
in the Emitted States seeking to bny or tie up
nlunitiops outputs, and each seeking to harass
the other So long as these agents do not in
fringe upon the law, the United States has
scant recourse against their embarrassing act
iyities. With the accredited plenipotentiary of
Austria the case isdifferent. The United States
IS on terms of official friendliness with that
country DIR. Dumba is in honor bound to do
everything in his power to promote that friend
Iiness. If, as administration officials charge,
he has taken advantage Of his position to yio-
late the good faith Of his office aud to eonspire
against the legitimate trade Of the United
States, she can no longer be tolerated. His re-
cab IS the logical course
From DR. Dumba's standpoint doubtless he
acted from patriotic motives. He took as truth
the doctrine Of the ruthless beIligerent--that
