SILENCE GREETS LYON
IN ATTACK ON SUNDAY
Methodist Ministers Hear Evan
gelists Vigorous Attack
and Say Nothing

Evangelist Milford II. Lyon continued
his attacks on the Sunday-StOugh type
Of evangelism this morning before a
neutral gathering OF Methodist ministers,
at their regular weekly meeting in Simp-
son Hall, nth and Arch streets. While
not mentioning the names of his fellow
evangeists, reference to "Billy's" par
tcular way of saving souls was apparent
to the ministers present.
The greeting accorded the evangelist,
who has been conducting a campaign in
Wilmington, was neither warm nor en-
thusiastic. The ministers, among whom
were several of other denominations, sat
in stony silence when Evangelist Lyon
thundered "rummage sales and church
suppers never won a soul"
Personal evangelism was the theme of
Doctor Lyons talk, and this was the
point he urged in his first sentence.
"Quips, jests and sarcasm do not win
converts" he said. 'It is personal work
that Is needed, and if eVangelists would
do more personal work it would be better
for the calling
IAN evangelist should be a pastor,i he
continued. He should see the heart
aches and troubles of his flock. Before
man becomes an evangelist he should
be pastor. and learn the work of God
from the ground up, face the problems
and be in better position to get next T.
a mans heart.
This does not mean merely coming
down the trail, shaking hands and going
out and looping off bad habit, such as
drink, cards or the dance. We don't want
reformation; we want salvation. And we
must realize reformation is decidedly not
salvation. 1t is a big thing to grip the
truth but it is a bigger thing to have
the truth grip you"
sundays methods were censured.
Heavenly food is all right. But it Is
being dished up wrong" Whereupon the
ministers were silent and continued so
when the evangelist said:

THE BOHEMIAN GIRL"
1t Was Sung Well Last Night,
but Orchestra Was Missed.

THE Bohemian Girl which has
probably as much pretty music crowd
ed into il as any comic opera ever
sung, was put on at the Grand last
night TO good-sized audience by the
Boston English Opera Company, pre-
senting an ail-star revival of the pop
ular opera.
THE Bohemian Girl" however,
sung without an orchestra. puts the
leaders to great disadvantage. The
pianist, of course, is good, but a mere
pinO cannot be expected to furnish the
necessary music for an opera with
such popular music While the sing
ing was all very good and enjoyed by
the audience, still the absence of the
the opera.
Miss Mirth Carmen, in the role of
Airline, daughter of Count Arnheim,
leads the opera with pretty soprano
voice which more than maintains the
excellent record made by the com
pany. In singing 81 Dream't That |
Dwell in Marble Halls, Miss Carmen
charmed the audience. Much applause
also greeted the prima donna in her
other songs.
Joseph f. Sheeham, playing the
part of Thaddeus, sings many excel
lent songs, principal among them
"You'll Remember Me- in. manner
deserving of much praise.
High honors in the opera must also
be divided between Miss Elaine de Sci
lem, in the role of the Queen Of the
Gypsies, who has q pretty contralto
voice; Devilshoof, chief of the gypsies,
as played by Robert A. White, and
Arthur Deane, as Count Arnheim, as
well as Phillip Fein, nephew of the
count.
The chorus is an unusually wen
trained one, and added much TO the
evenings pleasure.
Little Miss Marie Isaac. the bright
daughter of Judge and Mrs. Max
Isaac, who took the part of the little
girl in the first act. handled her lit
re part as if she was a regular mem
Der of the cast and had been playing
the part regularly.
