EVERY HUMAN SOUL.
HAS PAY--STREAK OF
HONESTY--YES-.NG7

CHICAGO, July ia. W. Kaney. a
well known business man, is a confid-
ing person who believes that in every
human heart there Is a pay-streak of
honesty. Mr.. Keney lost his wallet.
In 1t were papers and about 1925. So,
he inserted an advertisement in the
newspapers, as follows:
"a TEST OF HUMAN NATURE
The writer of this believes in the basic
honesty of humanity. Some time Tues
day night he lost biil-foid containing
about SIPS. He does not need the
money does not want II, but desires
above all things to have il returned
to stop the Jeers Of soothing friends
who do not hold his opinion. II the
finder will return the purse to Room
329, Hotel Sherman, he will not only
save my peace of mind, but will be
rewarded beyond every expectation"
Mr.. Keney was dressing in his room
at the Sherman preparatory to going
out. There came raptap on the door.
Opening il, Mr.. Kaney found there a
blonde youth of cherubic countenance
and confiding mien.
He asked me-" said Mr.. Keney. IF
| would give him description of the
bill-fold and its contents, which did,
minutely. He said, I've found your
wallet. It's at home. At first / was
going to keep it. but after seeing your
ad in the paper, just couldn't. And
God knows, l need it, too. But ! am
going TO give il back to you"
Fine! Fine!' | exclaimed, patting
him on the back That's fine. Not
only have you proven yourself an hon
est youth. but you have restored me
something more than the mere money
my belief in the basic honesty of
mankind. And you have also enabled
me TO give the laugh to a lot of my
doubling Thomas friends. For that,
am going to give you $50 when you re-
turn"
The youth, with a lump in his throat,
thanked his benefactor and departed,
saying he would go home. get the
purse and return.
Overjoyed at the proof of his con-
yictions, Mr.. Keney went over to his
dresser to finish his dressing.
And | couldn't find my scart-pin, a
diamond ring, and watch ruefully
conGided Mr.. Keney later.
The youth with the cherubic cOun-
tenance and the Confiding mien did
not show up. neither did the purse.

many who came thither to hear him.
My reason for thus going into de-
tail concerning Asbury's first days in
America is simply to point out the
fact that he at once began plan and
policy which he kept up without
change or intermission for forty-five
years and more. Whatever else he
might be or do, he was primarily and
essentially preacher. All up and
down the Atlantic Coast, from Now
York to Georgia, and over the APP
palachians into Tennessee, Kentuc-
ky, Ohio and Western Pennsylvania
he went like an angel of God, and
neither paused nor stayed in his
work. Summer and winter, and
sick or we'll, it was much the same
with him. Through all his earlier
years, when he was more affluent of
physical health and strength, his
preaching was followed by marked
demonstrations among the people.
Though rather prosaic thinker, and
almost entirely lacking the great gift
of imagination, he yet had tremen-
dous grip on the essential truths OF
religion, and proclaimed them in
demonstration of the Spirit and Of
power. Those who heard him were
The daily banner. (Cambridge, Md.) 1897-2008, 1916-04-01

convinced of sin, led to repentance.
and, in thousands of cases, expert
enced the joy of forgiveness. BY that
test, whether he was a great preach
er or not, he did a great work for the
Kingdom.
AS he grew older, his style of
preaching naturally underwent some
change. He could no longer, as OF
yore, throw himself without reserve
into his pulpit efforts, and grew, as
he himself put it, little bit more
temperate" in his speech. But ev-
en- up to the very end he was alawys
interesting and edifying. l like to
think of him, not only as he was in
his glorious prime. but also as he
was in age and feebleness extreme.
Even then the people crowded to
hear him, and would take no denial
he must speak to them. The fl
deity and persistency with which he
kept up his service were little less
than miraculous Sixty-two times he
had gone up and down the whole
length of the Atlantic Coast, and
crossed the forbidding Appalachian
ranges into the heart of the Missis-
sippi Valley, stopping virtually ev-
cry day on his journeys to address

Not Sunday But Christianity

II one were to search the world
for hero worshippers, one would
probably find more in the church
than anywhere else. There are
scores of people who idolize the min
lister, preferring rather to follow his
teachings, than to study the Bible,
and learn for themselves just what
truths are contained in the Scrip
lures.
And now that Billy Sunday is so
much in prominence, evangelists,
ministers and 1aymen are copying his
example. 1t is case of following
the man, and forgetting the cause he
represents. This is contrary to Mr.
Sundays sermons, for he comes with
a heart and head full of Christianity,
subordinating everything else to
winning souls for the Master. He
has refused offers to lecture, will ap-
pear nowhere to amuse crowds, and
has turned down a fiattering offer to
pose for moving pictures; he does not
seek admiration, but prefers coop
Grafton.
When he comes to Cambridge on
April 10th, it is hoped that the
masses will forget Billy Sunday, and
come 20 the tabernacle praying that
the message he brings may be the
means of inspiring them to higher
and nobler purposes, and that their
influence may lead others to new
life. If everyone will cast aside
curiosity and come with desire to
be be- flied, there is no doubt but
that Sundays visit will mean much
to this city.

the crowded congregations in the
cities and the little handfuls of hear
ers in the forest reaches.
The final journey had come. He
was moving up through the Caro-
linas and Virginia toward Baltimore,
which he hoped to reach in time for
the General Conference of 1916. On
Monday, March IS, he reached Rich
mond and tarried there to preach on
the following Sunday, thus appro-
priately browning his life of service.
Too weak to walk, he was carried
from his carriage into the church.
Unable even to stand up, he was
seated in an armchair; and anxious
to see the whole audience, he was
lifted up upon table. Though Of
ten compelled to stop for breath as
he went forward, he spoke for near
ly an hour, from Rom. 9, %: For
he will finish his work and cut it
short in righteousness; because a
short work will the Lord make upon
the earth" On the following Sun
day, at the home of his old friend
George Arnold, within twenty miles
of the city of Fredericksburg, he met
the chariot and the horsemen.

Francis Asbury,
Methodist Preacher.

{By Bishop E. e. Hoss, Methodist
Episcopal Church, South.)
In Tue whole history of the Chris
ttan Church, there is scarcely ca
reer more remarkable than that OF
Francis Asbury. Born in 1745, of
English peasant parents, whose only
distinction lay in the fact that they
were steady and consistent Chris
tians in faith and life, he became one
of the recognized leaders in Gods
hosts, and the spiritual benefactor OF
a whole continent. Very scantily
educated to begin with, and never at
any time a round and complete
scholar, he was soundly converted
and received the witness of the
Spirit-in farmers barn-at if
teen years Of age. At eighteen he
was a licensed local preacher, and
began to show his gift for persuasion
and appeal. At twenty-five, after
pretty searching tests, he was admit
ted on probation into the Wesleyan
Conference.
At twenty-six, no more mere nov
ice, but a man to be fully trusted
with important interests, he was sent
to America, with leave to range
whithersoever he would. At twenty
seven he was made Mr.. Wesley's gen.
eral assistant, and, with one or two
brief intervals of time, held that post
for the next eleven years, passing
through the trying period of the war
of the Revolution, and keeping the
scattered bands of Methodists togeth-
er in spite of all the divisive tenden-
cies of the times. Finally, at thirty
nine, without the slightest sugges-
ton on his part, and in the face of
his freely expressed doubts as to his
competency for the task, he was des-
ignated by Mr.. Wesley, along with
DR.. Thomas Coke, as Superinten-
dent or Bishop of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church in the United States of
North America, and was unanimous
ly elected by his brethren of the
General Conference of 1884 to that
responsible and honorable post. For
the next thirty-two years, or till his
death in 1916, he exercised a wide
and increasing influence in every
part of the land, and this not by any
autocratic self-assertion, but by a
sleepless diligence, by an unvarying
self-denial, and by a stainless purity
of character.
1t is not to be understood that he
encountered no antagonisms. On the
contrary, he faced them at every turn
of his career. 1t was impossible that
man so steady and unyielding in all
his convictions should go through the
world without arousing enmity and
opposition. Even by his fellow lab
0rers he was frequently criticized
and called in question. John Wesley
occasionally distrusted the simplici-
ty of his aims, and dared to lecture
him in rather lordly fashion. Thos.
Rankin stood aloof from him, and
James C'Kelly used he language of
indecent vituperation in speaking
about him. But, in spite of all this.

"THE UNBORN"

The Unborn" the much discussed
fve-reel feature on birth control" will
be the extraordinary attraction today.
The following criticism from a
northern paper give an idea of the fav-
orable reception it is receiving wher-
ever it has been shown:
This picture is a pronounced
preachment against birth control.
Although dealing with a delicate sub
iect the producers of this picture have
handled it in a very careful manner,
without offending good taste, or Great

in a most interesting manner.

LITTLE OVER HALF
Of OLD TEAM WILL
BE IN THE FRACAS

NEW YORK, Oct 3.-Of the seven
teen players who represented the Bos-
ton American League club in the ia
nous eight-game worlds series with
the New York Nationals in 1912 less
than ten will be seen in the coming
series to be staged before the end of
the week. Counting the present sea-
son the Red Sox have won three pen
nants and figured in three worlds
series in the past five years. Victors
over the New York Giants in the stir
ring struggle of 1912 by four games. to
three with a tie contest thrown in for
good measure, the Red Sox added to
their prestige in 1915 by sweeping
through the Philadelphia Nationals to
q worlds championship, four games to
one.
In the 1912 series outfielders Hooper
and Lewis were the same last fielding.
hard hitting players they are today.
Gardner, the. present third baseman,
guarded the same sack; Cady and Car
rigan worked behind the home plate,
ard utility outfelder Henriksen figured
as an emergency hitter, but did not
play in the field. All these members
Of the Red Sox combination partici-
rated in the series of a year in addi-
ton to Janyrin, Hoblitzel, Gainor,
Scott, Thomas, Shore, Ruth, Leonard
and Foster.
In 1912 the Boston team had a
worlds series hitting average of .220
and a fielding average of .958. In 1915
the Red Sox batted .264 and fielded
.97S. This season the averages show
that up to within a few days of the
close of the pennant race the Boston
club, considered as a whole, was bat
ting .24S and fielding 971. Taking the
figures for the two worlds series and
the work of the team for the major
part of the 1916 pennant season the
grand average will be found to be bat
ting PA and the fielding average 800
The opinion is held in some quarters
that the outfeld with Iris Speaker
missing from the lineup is not as
strong as the one that played in the
1912 and 1915 series. The absence O
Barry from second base, due to in
iuries, is thought by certain critics
to have weakened the infeld defense
and offense during the closing weeks
OF the race and it is contended tina
81 ould he be able to participate in the
series play the team will be far more
formidable than with Barry on thu
| bench.
There is but one opinion regarding
the pitching staff, however, and {
glance at the work of the twirlers
who have borne the burden of tht
hurting, and their records for the pres
ont season will indicate clearly the
reason for the Boston fans optimism
regarding the outcome of the coming
contests. The averages of the leading
pitchers, both on the basis of games
won and lost and earned runs pei
game by opponents, are as follows:
Shore, 600 and 2.75; Mays .615 ant
2.3O; Ruth .667 and 2O1; Leonard 81;
and 2.37; Foster .519 and 3.O7; Gregs
1873 and 1928.
