Sermon preached in yesterday afternoon by Dr. Lyon

city. when Jesus allowed this woman
to give Him a drink it paved the way
for Him TO bring a blessing to her.
This simple fact of His cordiality
amazed the woman and she expressed
her astonishment by saying. How is
Il that Thou, being Jew, askest
drink Of me. a woman of Samaria?"
If Jesus had been merely a Jew. His
racial prejudice would have forbid
den this. for Jewish pride would
have suffered Him TO have died Of
thirst rather than TO have taken a
favor from a Samaritan. But Jesus
belonged merely TO no one race. He
was the universal man.
Note in the next place. He awak-
ems the element Of curiosity. I would
not imply that He did this simply be-
cause He was speaking to woman
This is always a valuable element Of
appeal in instruction. Let a speaker
ask a question and il always quick
ems the interest Of his hearers. IF
thou knewest the gift of God" says
Jesus. He here implies that there is
something that she does not know
some secret that she can find out.
Consequently she is all eyes and ears.
You must awaken the attention OF an
individual if you are to impress upon
his mind a truth.
Still again Jesus follows not only
the natural. but also the scientific
method of instruction. when He lik-
ems the material water to salvation,
the water of life. This is an import
ant element in kindergarten work.
They go from the simple to the COM
plex-frOm the concrete to the alb
stract-from the tangible to the in

another principle Of pedagogy which
Jesus employed. Said Horace Mann

Going Up," farce comedy with music, tops the vaudeville bill at Polls the first half of the week. This delightful musical offering introduces George Leonard, clever comedian, and the Chesleigh Sisters, a trio of talented maids, assisted by a chorus of twelve. Snappy songs and dances abound in the piece and the produc- tion is elaborately mounted.
 Three big features comprise the .photoplay bill. Of great interest is the appearance of the distinguished actor E. H. Sothern, assisted by beautiful Peggy Hyland, in the five-part drama, "The Chattel." Another big attrac- l ton is the funniest of all comedians, ! Charley Chaplin in his latest two-reel scream called "The Pawnshop." Com pleting the film program is the al- ways interesting Pathe Pictorial News, with news and views of the world.
 Dinkins, Wild & Everett, ''black- face" comedians will offer a hilarious comedy skit How It Happened" a novel version of a minister first part. Other vaudeville features include: rGolding & Heating in their clever skit, 1.-The Younger Generation"; Carrie Lillie, singing comedienne; and Vivian & Arsenian, crack rifle shots.

JIM COFFEY SUED BY GIRL ALLEGING
 SHE WAS JILTED

New York, Oct. 2-Jim Coffey, heavyweight champion of County Ros- common, Ireland. and County Bronx, N. Y, has been made the defendant in a branch of promise suit. Coffey, who prior to his meeting with Frank Moran had something of a reputation as jaw breaker, is now called a heart breaker by Miss Mamie Hughes. Miss Hughes, in a. formal complaint, alleges that Coffey promised to marry her, but that on April 27 of this year he told her that the match was off.
 Attorney William Rasquin, who will be in Coffey's corner when the case is called, accepted service for his client While Coffey is usually loquacious be- fore'~his ring battles, he refuses to make any statement as to what he ex- poets to do in this legal battle. Miss Hughes asks for a purse of S5O,O0O, which is pretty nearly the amount won by Coffey i'll all of his ring battles.

PLAZA.

Douglas. Fairbanks latest effort be- fore the camera, Manhattan Mad ness," a film play of thrills and laughs is one of the many big attractions booked at the Page for the first half of the week. Manhattan Mad ness has been eagerly awaited by thousands of local fans who have learned of it's merit and 1t will un- doubted1y prove the greatest drawing card the Plaza has ever offered in the way of film plays.
 Then, too, Charlie Chaplin will be a popular feature of the bill in his new two part comedy production, "The Pawnshop.'' It is said that Chaplin does some of the best work of his career in this latest comedy and there are laughs by the hundred | to be found in his antics.
 Zermain Zermaine and company headline the vaudeville program in 1 '"The Whir1 of Song and Dance," a refined and artistic novelty of a title l indicated in it's title. There are ten in cast, many of them pretty show girls and their series of classic songs and novel dances will undoubtedly be greatly appreciated.
 John Delmore and Goldie Moote will be responsible for twenty minutes of unbound ed merriment in their clev- CT skit entitled "Behind the Scenes" { Hilton and Sheldon have a singing and talking diversion that is said to be @ rare treat and it Is understood that they will be favorites.

Since the opening of the battle, the account says, the Germans have thrown into the battle sixty-seven new divisions and seventeen battalionS, of which. thirty divisions were on the English front and thirty-three Givisions, with the seventeen batta1ions, the French front. CombleS, just taken, had 2,000 population before the war. It had been of notable value to the Germans because as long as they clung to it the Franco-British freedom

 WORLDS SERIES
 ATTENDANCE MARK

New York, Oct. While it is un- likely that new records will be estab- 1ished for either attendance or re- ceipts in the coming Worlds Series, it is certain that both players and mag hates will profit to, a considerable ex- tent when the books are balanced at the end of the conflict. Taking the attendance of the past few years and striking an average on the basis of six games, it will be seen that close to 175,000 spectators can be counted upon to witness the play.

With the capture of Combles the gains of the allies were made at three points on the. Somme front-at Com bles, where the continued Franco British offensive swept over the vil- lage and gained territory to the east ward; at Gueudecourt, which was car ried by the British, and at Thiepval. which had long been am obstacle to the British advance at the point where the battle line makes a, sharp salient as it turns to the northward.

This process was accomplished only by long continued, severe and costly effort on the part of the allies. Driving in from the south, the French successfully swept by Hardecourt, Maurepas, Le Foret and finally reach ed Fregicourt, a mile to the east of Combles. More slowly but none the less surely the British pushed their advance on the north of the German salient.

Daily Express the British government,
through the American embassy, has
made representations to Germany on
behalf of two captured British avia-
tors who are to be tried by court
martial because tracer bullets" were
found in their possession.
The government explained that trae-

as machine gun ammunition for the
purpose of correcting the gunner's
aim and do not contravene The Hague
convention.
After saying that Great Britain told
Germany that tracer bullets were
found on board the Zeppelin whose
crew surrendered recently in England

it clear to Germany that the crew of
this Zeppelin will be treated in pre-
