are always plenty of vacant

Look back at your childhood days.

How you hated them: how you
fought against taking them.
With your children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form
of physic simply don't realize what
they do. The childfen's revolt is
well founded. Their tender little in

U. S. PLANNING
VAST SYSTEM
OF TERMINALS
Coethals' Testimony Dis
closes Development Pro-
posed for Atlantic Coast.

Details Of a vast system Of term
inais and warehouses along the At
lantic Coast became known last night
with the publication of testimony be-
fore the House appropriations COM
mittee by Maj. Gen. Goethals, chief
Of the Quartermaster's Department.
As a result Of the generals testi-
mony, the urgent deficiency bill, de-
bate on which starts today, proposes
spending s23,ooo.OOo at Norfolk, s16,5Oo.-
900 at Charleston, s. c., s12,970.0oO at
Philadelphia, SO, 10000 at Boston, and
greater sums around New York har-
Dor.
The committee approved Goethals'
plan that these should be permanent
properties of the government, and not
merely war warehouses.
"The country's great problem for
thirty years, as we have recently
come to painfully realize" said
Goethals, "is adequate terminals. We
have been behind in every port ex-
cept New York where the Bush term
inals are located"
Emphasizing that northern Atlantic
ports are badly congested, Goethals
said he planned diversion of supplies
to harbors as far South as Charleston.
South Of that, he said. ports were in
many cases insufficient In depth.
Gulf ports," he said, have been
eliminated because Of the seven days
additional time required for ships
from Europe to make the extra dis
tance."
He concluded that at Charleston,
1000 feet of storage will cost SIG,
10000 Of which $3.3o0.0Oo is to pur-
chase land. The government plan OF
construction there is for concrete
foundation. floors and walls and steel
girders.

EVENING SERMON
''The Worth Of Gods Way

Billy Sunday last night delivered
this sermon:
Tonight, John the 7th chapter, nth
verse: "If any man will do His
will, he shall know Of the doctrine.
whether it be Of God, or whether I
speak Of myself"
ia like to make my message so
plain and simple tonight that not
a man or woman could rise up against
me in the day Of Judgment and say
Lord, I went down to that Taber-
nacle in February, 1913. but I didn't
learn by what I heard what had
to do"
I'd like to make it as God has made
it and wish 1 had the power to
strip or the swaddling clothes Of
criticism in all its naked simplicity,
that the man or woman with the
limited amount of intelligence may
lay hold on eternal life.
Somebody has very aptly and beau
tifully said that God requires of
every man and woman three things,
whether they are heathen or Chris
tian, or whether they live in Amer
lea or Africa, whether they live in
a hovel or a palace, whether they
are learned or iIliterate, God requires
and demands of every man and wom-
an that has any intelligence, three
things.
Three Things Essential.
First, a willing mind. It is ac-
eepted according to what a man hath,
and not according to what he hath
not II ye be willing and obedient
ye shall eat the fruit of the land.
You must, if you want the blessing
OF God to come into your heart, you
must be willing to forsake every
known sin. That means that you
shouldn't hold onto any one you do
know.
Although God is infinite, God de-
creed the freedom of the human will
and he stops right there. He will not
compel you to forsake your sins
against your will, and If God could
and would compel men and women
to forsake their sins against their
will. there wouldn't be a sinner on
earth.
Second. a desire to know the
truth in order that you might obey
the truth. In the day of judgment
God will show you that you had an
intelligence to know what to do but
you wouldn't do it and you will be
condemned for that fact. I believe
one Of the most cursed ambitions
that stirs a human heart is a selfish
desire for knowledge, just simply
that you may blow and boast that
you know something more than some
one else. But a desire to know more
that by knowing you might do and
in order that by knowing and do

A quaint silver teapot. which once
belonged to Susan B. Anthony. will be
used at the suffrage tea tomorrow at
the National Woman Suffrage As
ISOLATION headquarters, 1926 Rhode
Island avenue, in commemoration OF
the ninety-eighth anniversary of Miss

Other personal relics of Miss An

red silk shawl which the great suf-
fragist wore for many years to suf-
frage conventions.
There is also a lady's watch and
chain of the old-fashioned type which
Miss Anthony used for many years
and which she bought with the first
money that she earned as school
teacher.
A cameo portrait of Miss Anthony.
made in 1888, when she took her
first trip abroad, is included in the
collection.
In the Anthony Room" of the
Rhode Island suffrage headquarters.
there are an inkstand of black
enameled wood and a round birch
table which once were the property
of Miss Anthony. Upon the table
was written the Declaration Of
Sentiments" which was signed by
the leading suffragists of the coun-
try and considered a very sensa-
tional document. indeed, at the time
Of its publication.
A near relative of Miss Anthony's
has contributed a new story about
the pioneer suffragist:
Miss Anthony while under arrest
for voting was on a street car in
company with the sheriff. Not wish
ing to embarrass her, the sheriff
went to the other end of the car.

fare"

ing you might become Christ-like,
that Is great.
Loves Seeker Of Knowledge.
I love to see a man or woman that
wants to know more that they might
do; and in order that by knowing or
doing you can become a noble, or
Christian man But despise the
fellow who wants to know and then
won't do.
Third: An honest, open. public con-
fession with your lips and your life
that, so far as you know and un-
derstand, you will do Gods will and
follow end serve Him. God will
never give you any more light until
you use what you have. You use
that up and God win give you more.
I might get up in front of this build
ing and find a fellow with a Ian
tern mo, sir, I am not going to
move q step until this lantern lights
me to my home"
I say. Then you will die and rot
in your tracks"
A lot of you fellers are afraid to
do Gods will because you know II
will make you decent and you don't
want to be decent. In order to un-
derstand God you'd need to know all
mystery and all prophecy and all
history and you'd have to explore
with your mind all time and space.
In other words you'd have to be
God yourself. You'd have to be
equal to God in intelligence and
wisdom, you'd have to have the
greatest development of mind the
world has ever known. but in order
to know God, in order to know
Jesus Christ, all you need to do is
to surrender your will to God.
You might be down in a dark cell
lar tonight and a venomous snake
ready to inject its venom, but when
fellow opens the door above and
lowers the candle, that little candle
will dispel every cubic inch of dark
ness. That's why we have the lights
here IN the Tabernacle. These cleo
trio lights are all positive and the
darkness Is negative, but when the
positive Is turned on the negative
beats it That's why you can see
in here.

and walk down these aisles and

And when nations meet in combat,
And the battle RACES high,

Seeking wounded, ere they die.
And when poverty o'ertakes you,
Near he lies on barren floor
Chilled and hungry, brave and loyal.
