NO ROOM IN MANY
HEARTS FOR CHRIST
Men DO Not Mean TO be Unkind
They are Merely Thought
less.

People nowadays are putting
Christ in a manger when they shut
Him out OF their lives. just as CEN
turtles ago in Bethlehem Christ was
consigned 10 "a stable when there
was no room in the inn. was the
statement Of the Rev. @. b. Byrer
at the United Brethren church last
night in his sermon on the shut
Out Christ"
our hearts are occupied with so
many things that there is scarcely
any room for Christ in this day. %
said Rev. Mr.. Byrer. The people
of Bethlehem didn't intend TO place
any indignity on Christ by putting
Him in a barn; there simply was 10
room in the inn The world today
means no indignity 10 Christ in smut
ting Him out Of their hearts; there
is no room left, after the heart has
been filled with sin, for Him. We
boast Of our Christian nations. Of
our civilization. OF our beautiful
churches; we hold up and unfurl TO
the wOrld the banner OF Christ, the
emblem Of Christianity. but Jesus.
the spirit of Christianity. is not
there. The great mass Of humanity
are sharp for money, and dull for
Jesus Christ. Men plan. mediate
and work out marvellous undertake
ings for the building up of and de-
velopment Of human institutions OF
humanity, but little time is devoted

last night The only method which
the Bible give us IS one of substi-
tuition" HIS sermon was based upon
the text. "Wherewithal shall a
young man cleanse mis- ways ?"
(Psalms 119:9).
when "a young man begins to ask
himself this question he considers
the things which he will add TO his
life and the things which he must
subtract First he says. 4 am go

he does so, he finds that, though he

unclean images.
The outcome usually is that he
falls back into the old rut before

COTCH COMES OUT
Champion Wrestler Announces
He's "Back i'm Harness."
This Means He Intends to Meet
Stecher Soon.

Los Angeles, f eb. 10.-Frank Gotch,
worlds champion heavyweight wres-
tier, has signed articles to wrestle Ed
SanteI in San Francisco February %,
it was announced today. According to
the terms of the contract, it was said
Gotch must throw Santel twice in an
hour.
Gotch stated he was back in the
harness and had decided to come out
of retirement"
This announcement means, beyond
a doubt, that the Humboldt Wrecker
has made up his mind to put his title
in jeopardy again, and that the lure
of money has induced him to oppose
Joe Stecher, the wonderful Nebraska
youth.
1t is thought that Stecher and Gotch
will be matched in one of the larger
cities next tall, after Gotch's circus
contract has expired. Mat fans are
predicting that the affair will draw
the biggest purse ever heard of in
graphing history.

WILLARD MUST REDUCE.
Champion Will Have to Take Off Lot
of Weight Before Fight.

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 1O.-"How much
will you weigh when you fight Frank
Moran?"
This was one of the many questions
popped at Heavyweight Champion
Jess Willard after he had finished the
hardest days training he has yet TAX
en- for the approaching match in the
gymnasium of the Chicago Athletic
association. Willard didn't even hes
itate in finding his answer.
III tell you the day of the fight"
he replied. That's about all 1 know
about it"
The champion of the big fellows
realizes that he must take off a lot
of weight before he will be fit to battle
Moran, judging by the way he is work
ing. Just how much he notches right
now, no one except Willard, and pos
sibly Manager Tom Jones. knows, but
IL IS known that he expects to reduce
to somewhere in the neighborhood of
240 pounds for the battle. One guess
which seems to be about right is that
| Willard will have to shed at least 25
pounds.

sQUABBLE OVER REFEREE.
Managers of Willard and Moran Can't
Agree on Official.

New York, Feb. 10.-The managers
for Jess Willard and Frank Moran
have been unable thus far to agree
upon a referee for their ten-round
bout here, March s. Tom Jones, Will
lard's manager, and Ike Dorgan,
manager for Moran, had a warm dis
cussion over the selection of referee
in the meeting yesterday when the
articles for the fight were signed.
Jones insisted upon the choice of
Jack Skelly. of Yonkers, to referee the
big bout, while Dorgan held out for
the selection of Bill Brown, who was
referee in both of Moran's bouts with
Jim Coffey.
The names of Charley White, James
j. Corbett and Jim Jeffries were sug-
gested. but Jones rejected them. Skelly
offered to withdraw in favor of Brown,
but Jones would not consider it. The
two managers agreed to meet again
today to resume their arguments. In
case of disa greement over a referee it
is customary for the state boxing COM
mission to select the third man in the
ring

the "old spirit drives them to the
