Paris, March 21.-The French gov

"To prevent transportation to Ger

adopted the following plan: We take
the imports into Switzerland for last

at is good that American ships
have been obliged to learn that

losses there is only one policy for
the United States as for the small

The Dusseldorfer General An

MORAL LEPERS
Rousing Service Was Con-
Quoted at Tabernacle
by Evangelist.
SERMON TO MEN
ONLY ON SUNDAY
Announced That Children's
Choir Will Sing Again
Saturday Night.

Gypsy Smith preached on sMoral
Lepers" to an audience quite as large
as the tabernacle could comfortably
seat last night, and at the conclusion
of the powerful sermon, scores of
men, women and children expressed
willingness to live a better life in
the future. A total of fifty-three
publicly went forward and informed
the evangelist of their desire TO live
better. and special prayers were said
for Skem.
In the course of the sermon the
evangelist excoriated society for its
complaisance, its lethargy, its toler-
ance of moral lepers and loathsome
sinners in its midst His denuncia-
ton of hypocrisy and sin was made
in the strongest language the evan
gelist could command, and the con-
gregation seemed electrified by the
eloquence and seemingly inexhausible
range of invective against sinners"
as one said of him.
Salient points were driven home
with energy and power, and the evan
gelist fairly leaped from spot to spot
on the rostrum, and gesticulated TO
make the thought he was trying 70
impress upon his hearers sink deeper
and deeper and to convey its mean
ing without failure.
Working on to his subject, and
likening the first sin to the dreaded
leprosy, which begins with small
pimple and spreads and spreads until
its loathsonle effect covers the whole
body, he held the attention of every
one. 'FYou may be great political
power" he shouted; you may be a
good husband, good father, but If
you turn down God, you are a leper,
sinner" he fairly shouted, as ne
held both hands above his head,
seemingly to shake with emotional
sincerity which moved him. And when
he followed this effort up with the
advice that at is a question that you
have to decide for yourself; the ques-
ton which shall be the conqueror of
your soul, sin or the word of God"
he seemed to throw his whole heart
and earnestness in the statement
Interest in Cottage Meeting.

believed that the great building will
be taxed to its capacity.
The children will sing at Saturday
nights service. This part of the ser
vice was going to be abandoned fol
