DR.. WEIGHS LECTURE
Capacity Crowd Listens to Sermon at
Methods Church.

The Methodist church was crowded
to its capacity last night by an audi
ence which attended the Washington
exercises of the church and to hear
the advertised lecture-sermon of the
pastor, DR.. Welch, on The Religious
Interpretation of the History of Our
Country"
The services were inspiring and the
sermon no less so. The entire even
ing was given over to patriotic airs
and selections by the Sunday school
orchestra and Quartette while the
address brought outbursts OF applause.
Setting forth the belief that God
had "held back the discovery of our
country until a civilization had been
developed fit to fully develop it along
divine lines" the speaker reviewed
the history of the United States from
its incipiency until its present crisis.
Characteri2ing the great men of his
tory as being directed by chat di-
vinity that shapes out ends, rough
hew them as we will" no epoch in
the history of the nation was un-
touched, and in a brilliant, forceful
manner, at times reaching superb
heights of eloquence. Washington,
Franklin. Hamilton and Jefferson were
especially dwelt upon as being di-
vinely guided in the early days, while
Lincoln was pointed out as "the agent
of the divine" to remove from the
country a "blot against ciyilization.'
The proration was an eulogy OF
President Wilson. who 'was a man
of God and not ashamed to lead his
cabinet in prayer when it came to
the consideration of matters which
held the destiny of the nation in
their settlement" On the present
cataclysm in Europe Er. Welch de-
picted the United States as the sole
great power left whose duty it would
be 'to lift a torn and mangled Eu-
rope from the slough of despond and
help it more to approach the footstool
of Cod"

PAXT0N'S ROBBED
Burglars Believed to Have TAX
en- Wagon Load of Goods.
Loot Includes Silk Dresses,
Shoes and Other Clothing.

The Paxton and Paxton Dry Goods
store, corner Sixth avenue and Quincy
street, was burglarized Monday night
or early this morning for the second
time in less than six weeks. While
check of the stock has not yet been
completed. it is believed that thieves
removed at least a wagonload of
goods. The loot consisted principally
of silk dresses, shoes and other cloth
ing.
Burglars apparently followed closely
methods adopted when the store was
robbed several weeks ago. A high
fence near the alley screens the inter
Tor of the building from policemen
who may be patrolling the vicinity of
Sixth and Quincy. The burglars prob
ably crawled over this fence and en-
tered the store through a transom in
the rear of the building
1t is possible, the police say. for bur-
glars to have worked in the store for
hours without having been detected by
passershy- Shades and stock in the
windows precluded the possibility of
detection by persons in front of the
building.
1t is believed the robbery was en-
glneered by Mexicans. The store has
been the objective of Mexican shop
LIters and petty thieves several times
IN the last year. A pair of worn over
alls with coal dust in the pockets was
found in the store
