PAUL'S CONVERSION is
SUBJECT OF SERMON
Rev. j. 4. Lord Points Out Differ
ence in Converts of His
tory and Today.

Pauls conversion on the road TO
Damascus was made the theme OF
the sermon by Rev. J. A. Lord, pas
tor of the River Park NJ. f. church.
on The Province of the Christian"
Sunday night The pastor pointed
out the difference between the con-
versions that are made today and
that of Paul and other converts of
Biblical history.
Special music was arranged for
the opening services of the revival
and Miss Leah Steele sang solos.
Rev Jesse Parker Bogue. pastor of
the First Methodist church of Lin
den. Ind. who will conduct the re-
vival at the church, will preach his
first sermon tonight
Perhaps God does not find
people today as ne did Paul" Rev.
Lord said "A conversion now must
be just as positive as in the case
of Paul the powerful. Anything
else means doubt and limited drift
ing II is a mere speculation. The
reason for so much uncertainty in
our Christianity is that we have not
had a vision OF Christ
IF we meet Jesus as Paul did on
the road 10 Damascus. or as Moses
met God on Mt. Sinai, OF as Ilzad
did on Mt. Hored, then all uncer-
tainty will fly We will then call
out L know in whom / believed and

THINK TOO MUCH
Of BODILY NEEDS
Three-fourthS of Children Do
Not Attend Sunday School,
Says Rev. A. c. Brown.

NO man cares for my soul" was
the text chosen by Rev. A. Christy
Brown in the opening service of tho
revival conducted at Westminster
Presbyterian church Sunday even
ing. corner Scott and Lindsey SITS.
The doctor scored the neglect
shown by Christians in dealing with
the spiritual welfare Of their breth-
rem. There are parents who work
and undergo great sacrifice in caring
for the bodily comfort of their chill
dren, but forget entirely the men
tioning of Christ. In South Bend
three-fourths of the children attend
ing public school do not go to sun
day school,
Referring to the dens of vice in
our cities the pastor said. There
should he "A monument erected to
these temples of hell, and on one side
there should be an inscription To
the World on another To the
Flesh. on the third To the Devil.
and on the last in the largest letters
OF all To the Neglected Christians "
Considering those who are hearing
the word of God and not profiting
by il. the evangelist stated that the
individual must he concerned with
the saving of his soul and take ad-
vantage of the means of grace of

ment of the Psalmist, No man cares
for my soul does not lessen the re-

church, 5. St. Joseph St. last night
The evangelist was introduced by
Rev. G. +. Byrer. pastor of the con
gregation.
Outlining briefly the caus, OF
holding such annual campaigns
Rev Groves emphasized that il was
absolutely necessary for the entire
congregation TO cooperate and assist
in every way possible TO assure sue
cess. The time has come when all
should realize the Importance OF
praying for the salvation OF the soul.
he said Personal effort and sacri-
flee is an essential thing i'm the cam
paign.
we are prepared for everything
under the sun" said Rev. Groves,
"but one thing is notably lacking,
and that is the fact that we are not
prepared TO save the soul. Sunday
schools are well organ aed, classes
are held regularly. yet no movement
has been launched by which We
could organize such classes where
instructions can be given for the
salvation of the soul. 1t is then the
purpose of this campaign TO give the
congregation all necessary details in
this respect Personal work will
play an important role in this cam
paign."
Monday evening the Rev. J. A.
Groves will deliver a sermon on
THE Kind Of Revival Needed for
This Age" while on Tuesday even
ing the evangelist will address the
officers and teachers of the Sunday
school.

NE " BUREAU To
PLACE STUDENTS
Vocational Guidance Course to
Be on Par With Best in
Country.

To carry out further the word OF
the vocational guidance course or
/ ganized this year in the city schools
by securing work for students in
those lines of work for which they
are suited and which they like, is
the purpose of the Placement bu-
reau, which is being organized this
week by the directors of the voca-
tional guidance course.
The organization of the Placement
bureau when completed Will place
the local vocational guidance on a
par with the best in the country. The
plans for the organization OF the
new bureau have been carefully
worked out and it is the intention
of its organizers 10 secure the CO
operation of practically all the local
manufacturers and TO handle all stu
dent employment work through this
bureau.
To Arouse Interest.
The first step in organizing the
bureau will be to secure the interest
of the manufacturers employers
and general public. Letters will be
mailed to manufacturers, merchants
and other employers calling their at
tentiOn TO the formation of the bu-
reau, and the cooperation of the
Chamber OF Commerce will be
asked. Later representatives of the
vocational guidance department will
call on the various employees and
make definite arrangements to sup
ply them with help OF the kind that
students in the schools can give. The
bureau will be in operation within a
few months. but it will be perfected
20 the extent that its promoters plan
only after years of effort.
II. NJ. Appleman, director of vOca-
tional guidance work in the city
schools, and Miss Helen Dernbach,
assistant director. who are organiz-
ing the bureau, point out that the
bureau will not only enable a larger
number of students TO secure en-
ployment after school hours and
during the summer, but that it will
place at the disposal of local en-
pIoyes an unlimited supply of a class
Of help Of which they often have an
urgent need The principal motive
behind the organization of the bu-
reau is, however, TO give school chill
dren in the grades. as we'll as in
high school. an early opportunity to
gain an insight into the require
ments. possibilities and advantages
of the various industries, with view
to helping them to pick that one in
dustry which they like the best and
for which they have the most apti-
tude as their life work.
Already Proved Success.
The vocational guidance course
was only organized in the local
schools this year. but it has already
proven itself a success. There are
large numbers of students. both in
the grade and i'm the high school,
who are being trained along voca-
tiOnal lines. The new phase Of the
work will tend to promote interest
in the work on all sides and should
rapidly bring il TO a position of the
first Importance in the school sys-
tenn, il is believed. IL is hoped that
sooner or later il will enable South
Bend TO take advantage of the ap-
preparation recently made by Con-
gress to promote vocational work in
schools throughout the country by
erecting a special vocational guild

TAKE OVER VESSELS
United States Authorities Seize
German Ships.
DEPUTY MARSHALS IN CHARGE
Action Follows Almost Immediately
After Passage by Congress Of Res
olution Declaring That a
State of War Exists.

New York, April 6.-Seizure Of Ger
man merchant vessels that took refuge
in Atlantic ports at the beginning OF
the war began almost Immediately af-
ter congress passed the resolution de-
claring a state of war between the
United States and Germany.
The collector of the port at Boston
was the first to act. The federal Of
ficials at New London, Conn, Balti-
more, New York and Philadelphia, fol-
lowed quickly. In a few hours United
States deputy marshals were in charge
of German vessels at these ports, rang
ing in size from the majestic Water
land of 54,2S2 gross tons, to small sail
ing vessels.
The port officers acted on orders is
sued by the secretary of the treasury.
1t vas understood that the move did
not involve confiscation and that the
vessels are held as a measure of
safety. There was no announcement
as to whether the government should
take owe the ships for its use and pay
for them after the war.
German vessels now in American
ports number 81 with q gross tonnage
of about 100000.
Since the president delivered his war
message to congress these ships had
been under a heavy guard stationed
by the collector of the port.
Their officers have said that, lying
at their docks since the beginning of
the war, these vessels have become so
fouled and their slips SO choked with
mud that it would have been virtually
impossible for them to get away unless
they were e~Xtricated by dredges.
AT various times there had been re-
ports that the machinery and boilers
had been wrecked by their German
crews, but of this there was no official
confirmation.
Chancellor McGovern, after board
ing the North German Lloyd steamer
Whitehead at New London, said that its
engines were apparently in good condi-
ton.
The ships taken over, ports in which
they were seized, and their tonnage
and value, are as follows:

Rats and Fires.

At q time when everyone is com
planning of the high cost of living II
might be well to see if we cannot elm
mate two great sources of waste-ires
and rats.
Most fires are needless. All rats
are so, Some years ago a study Of the
rat problem in Philadelphia arrived at
the conclusion, that the rodents Of that
city ate more than a million dollars
worth of food each year. AT that rate,
the disgusting creatures can hardly
cost less than 500, 100000 per year
to the whole country. This is a pref.
ty high price to pay for the compan-
ionship of impish pests which, besides
their other bad habits. undermine
floors and carry the most dreaded of
all diseases, bubonic plague.
Yet fires are more expensive than
rats In 1915-the last year for which
figures are at hand-the American
people paid out in premiums for fire
insurance S419,36 ,346. OF this vast
sum at least three-fourths could be
saved by reducing our fire record to
the rate prevailing in England, France
or Germany and even in our time and
nation $500; 900 per year is a say
ing worth noting, and me which
would have a p~erceptible effect on the
cost Of living.
