PENNsGROvE. y. j., May 1S-High
School night was observed at the
Stephens tabernacle last night. Twen-
ty-fve dollars In gold was presented
to Evangelist stephens by represen-
tative OF the school, Monterville
Seeley Mr.. Stephens voiced his
pleasure and surprise and said he
had never known Of any high school
standing for better principles than
the high school OF pennsgrove. Many
gifts have been received by Mr.
Stephens during this the last week Of
his campaign.
Last night he preached on The
Christian and Amusements." and
answered the following questions: Is
card playing wrong? Is dancing sin
| ful? is theatre-going harmful?
From the text. 80 they feared the
Lord and served their own gods. %
Evangelist stephens started in imme-
, diately TO treat the question Of card
playing. His chief indictment against
cards was that they we're first in
have ever since been the chief tool
of the gambler.
The deck OF cards you may find in
the pocket of the tramp, the gambler,
the drunkard and the thief. and in all
the homes where the name Of Jesus
Christ is never heard and not wanted,
he said
Also the deck OF cards Is the devils
Bible and the Christian Bible should
| be the Word Of God-so why should
the Christian meddle with and asso-
ciate himself with the devils Bible"
Mr.. Stephens said the woman who
plays cards in her home to win the
"dinky cream pitcher" is just as bad
as the man who goes down town and
CANDLES for money.
Some OF you folks say you see no
harm in cards. When do you want "a
see harm, when your boy is behind the
barsY' the evangelist asked.
In discussing "Is theatre going
harmfulg" Evangelist Stephens said
that away back in the time OF Christ
they had theatres. but never once was
4 Jesus Christ or His disciples knOwr
TO go into one OF them. and VIII,
should the Christian Of today stoop L,
do the things that the Lord Himsel
would not condescend to do
The third and last question, 4
dancing sinful? was answered to thl
effect that dancing was entirel,
wrong for the protesting Christian tC
indulge in.
Dancing is nothing more thar

Bethmann- HoIIweg Confident Teuton's

Seek Territorial Agoran-
dizement.

London. Oct. All of Europe is
ready for peace" but Germany wants
"obly a truce"
This statement was made by Lord
Robert Cecil minister of war, trade
and blockade, in answer to Chancellor
Won Bethmann-Hollweg's speech at the
opening of the German reichstag
"The chancellOr's speech shows a
considerable change In tone" declared
the British minister to the correspond
ent of the international News service.
THAT talk of a German victory has
entirely vanished is remarkable. There
was no word concerning Belgium"
Asked If he considered the chancel-
lor's criticism of England more intense
than before, Lord Robert said:
''It is an old trick to try to con-
vince our allies that we are bleeding
them to death. The idea that England
wants world supremacy is fantastic" !"
Berlin, Oct. 2.-Germany will per-
severe until victory is hers, the reich
stag was assured by Chancellor Won
BethmannH Hollweg. according to the
full text of his speech, which was pub
lished here. The chancellor asserted
that the harvest this year had made
Germany's position much more secure
than was the case last year.
In his attack upon Great Britain Won
-HOllweg declared that that
country was breaking one interna-
tional law after another. and was
above all Germany's most egotis-
tical, fiercest and most obstinate en-
emy."

Men-Victory Brings Joy
to Berlin.

Berlin, Oct. 3.-The victory of Cen
eral Won Falkenhayn over the Rou-
manians around Hermannstadt. in
Pennsylvania, grows with every new
dispatch from the front.
The Roumanian first army has been
shattered and the second army rushed
to its assistance, has been badly bat
tered, being now solely on the de-
fensive.
The victory has caused the great
est excitement and jubilation seen
here in months.
Following is the Berlin official ac-
count of operations in the Transyl-
vunian theater:
"On the eastern front Roumanian
attacks in the Maros valley were re-
pulsed. In the Georgeny valley and
farther south our vanguards partly
evaded the enemy's thrust
'The booty taken by the German
troops in the fighting south of Henn-
dorf has been increased by eight can
non. Northwest of Fogaras. the enc
my has ceased to attack.
''As a result of the battle of Her
mannstadt more than 5000 prisoners
and 13 guns were brought in. One
hangar, two aeroplanes, ten locomo-
tives, 300 railroad cars laden with mu-
nitions, more than 200 munitions wag-
ons. more than 200 loaded baggage
wagons, 20 transport wagons and one
hospital train also have been taken.
Further material is being brought in
gradually from the woods. The Roth
enthurm pass is filled with vehicles
blown to pieces by our fire.
"South of the pass strong Rouma-
nian attacks directed against the
heights west of Cainet were re-
pulsed. In the Hatzeger mountains
the foe made a fruitless attack west
of Stroll Sztrigy valley"
