"MULTIPLTED' LENTEN TALKS

Return to Self-Denial Days Urged by

Even preacher is sometimes appalled,

that by listening to a sermon they had
done their full duty. The speaker urged

which laid upon the individual the duty
of personal discipline, self.denal and re-

set as the church's goal, we shall see what
need there IS for repentance and renewal"

PASTOR SAYS CITIZEN MUST
BE READY TO DIE FOR STATE
No National Life Possible Without
National Suffering

There can be no national life worthy
OF respect when there has been no national
suffering" said the Rev. DR.. Edward
Yates Hill in a Lenten sermon today at
the First Presbyterian Church, 18th and
Locust streets.
IF one is unwilling to die for others, -
said Doctor Hill, "he really wishes 10 live
though Others die. Upon rnat basis not
one nation could stand. Such Individual
ism would destroy the whole fabric of
society. If we would live together build
States. command nature, create useful and
beautiful arts. build homes and make So
cicty great family, then we must be
willing TO fall sacrihclally into the social
earth to bring forth such fruit
This is precisely the view Jesus took
of his own life. He would not save H.
He took his cross He gave his life a
ransom for money. Our Lenten season
must keep the value of that cross in view.
No lesson is needed more in America"

men and women today as they attempted
to tear Samuel Gershman, Christian street

stables Abrams and Weinsten, who were
taking the man to the office of Magistrate
1mber 9Th and South streets.
Gershman was under arrest on the
charge OF attacking Bessie Yaralsky

asky. The mob surged about the constable
and their prisoner, and men and women
beat Gershman on the head with their
fists kicked him and tore his clothing
For several minutes the constables de-
SPARED of getting Gerhman into the office
of the Magistrate. But when they drew
their revolvers and threatened to shoot,
the crowd gave way, and the constables
dragged the prisoner into the house.
Folled in venting their rage on Gersh-
man, the mob rushed at Gershman's
counsel, Attorney 1. L. jackson. The
latter was roughly handled, but finally
sought refuge in the Magistrates office.
