RED CROSS READY TO
NURSE MILLION MEN
Vast Force Could Be Mobilized Within
Few Days. Says Official.

The Red Cross can mobilize within a
few days an expert nursing force for an
army Of 1,00o,0o men, according to Act
ing Chairman Eliot wadsworth, who gave
an Interview yesterday on the present
preparedness Of the Red Cross The De-
partment of Civilian Relief, alone. he
added, may need nearly million dollars
a month, in the event of serious crisis,
to care for dependent families of SOL
diers.
Mr.. wadsworth said: mo national
emergency has ever found the Red Gross
better prepared than 1t is today. Even
without an actual declaration of war,
there is bound to be an enormous strain
upon every department. Butt we find
now the full benefit Of the plans we have
been preparing for years past.
For example. It is quite possible that
the government will raise at once large
volunteer army. Our experience with the
recent mobilization Of the National Guard
shows that caring for the dependent
families of soldiers Imposes a heavy bur-
den on the Department of Civilian Re-
lief. The director general Of that de-
partment, Mr.. Bicknell, tells me that IL
the country undertakes a really extern
sive mobilization. the Red Cross must be
ready to spend. II necessary, several hum
dred thousand dollars a month upon de-
pendent families alone The States and
all large cities have hitherto taken a con-
siderable share Of this burden because
the National Guard is conspicuously an
institution of the States. We might not
have the same support for a strictly ma
tional army, such as the present crisis
may demand; and we do not yet know
how effectively the government might be
able to meet these needs. at least during
the first emergency. In other words the
Civilian Relief Department might need
several million dollars in the first year
for one branch only of its extensive work
1t will still have to care for the victims
of flood, fire, explosion or troubled con-
ditions along the Mexican border. The
machinery for distributing all funds,
however. has been prepared for many
years past
SHOULD more serious crisis develop
that is, IL the United States should be
drawn into war-a similar ana even
heavier burden would be imposed upon
the other departments of the Red Cross. Z"

HITS CHURCH MEMBERS
FOR CONTROL BY devil
Gypsy Evangelist Exhorts Hearers to
Repentance at Tabernacle.

IF the devil should CONC and take
some OF our church members with him
we dare not shout stop thief for he il
only taking his own," Evangelist Gypsy
Smith. tr., declared in his sermon in the
tabernacle at Sixteenth and " streets
last night.
He preached on the text, Repent ye
and believe the Gospel" Mark 1:l5, and
said that repentance is the most
unpopular doctrine in the Bible
Subject Is Unpleasant.
Other emphatic points of his sermon
follows:
Repentance is the doctrine that we
preachers talk so much about. i know
you don't like to hear it. You like to
have us talk about the love of God. You
have heard us talk SO much about the
love of God that you are lovesick. But
repentance is taught and urged sixty
times in the New Testament.
THE great Jonathan Edwards thunder
ed against sin and urged repentance.
Billy Sundays doctrine is that sin is real,
like a disease.
1T Is my commission to tell you that
your sin is rotten, and that 1t must go.
l must tell you to repent. Christ chose
all the world to preach the gospel OF
repentance. 1t is all r4Sht to have peace
with God. But we must have repentance
before We can have peace.
Christ never made 1t easy to follow
him. He held up the cross. We are so
crazed to get church members that we
go out and get anybody.
Fear Is Not Repentance.
Repentance is not fear. Suppose when
I had asked my wife for her hand. she
said No. Suppose my brother standing
by me, had told her he would kill her II
she didn't marry me. Do you think 1
would want her that way? Jesus Christ
doesn't want you because you fear hell
He wants love. A man facing the gal
lows will accept Christ. Let him be re-
moved from the reach of the gallows, and
nine times out of ten he will return to
his old sin.
Repentance isn't conviction. Scores Of
people are convicted of sin. They know
in their hearts that they are sinners. but
they don't repent and turn to God.
Repentance isn't promises. You may
make all the resolutions you can think
of and never keep one OF them. You can
promise right now that you will do right
the rest of your life. But when you face
God. He is going to ask you, How about
those years of sin in the past? Have you
gone back and made the wrong right?
Not True Repentance.
This crying Is not real repentance.
People get the weeps at movies or plays.
Just crying about Jesus Christ is not true
repentance. II sorrow over wrongdoing
were true repentance, then every jail
bird would be a fine repenter.
Repentance is not tramping to and
from church. You may go to church
million years, but you'll never know God
until you take the things out Of your life
that are not right"
The Washington herald., 1917-02-10

dom mentioned her, and when Benjamin
wrote his own biography and submitted
1t to his sister for her approval her one
criticism of it was that II contained no
mention OF his mother.
This is the anniversary OF the second
marriage of the distinguished English
novelist, Thomas Hardy. famous author

time before. The marriage took place at

If it had not been for the urging of her

her uncle, Leopold OF Belgium, in the

Leopold sent Prince Albert and his older
brother to Windsor castle with letter
commencing them to the young queen.
They arrived on October 10. For four
days they took part in her social activi-
ties, riding, dancing and banqueting. Then

Isaac dIsraeli, distinguished writer and

His wife was Maria Basevi. youngest
daughter of an Italian jew. Isaac was
IS years old at the time. Their eldest
son was the great BENJAMIN. Besides
BENJAMIN they had three other sons,
Naphtau, Ralph and James. and a

that great men owe more to their moth

This is far from the case with Benjamin
