Talk About Church Work
And Sermons; Don't
Keep Silent, DR.. Chappell
Advises Congregation.

TT you want to kill q church, II
you want to kill q preacher. the
best and surest way in the world
to do it is to let him alone" said
DR.. Clovis G. Chappell, at Mount
Vernon Place NJ. e. Church last
night. in making a plea to his con-
gregation for active. rather than
passive. Christian living.
His text was the exhortation Of
Ezekiel: 20 ye dry bones. hear
the word Of the Lord"
Advised to BE Active.
Attend church; hear the sermon:
go away, saying nothing good or
had about it: do nothing at ALL"
continued the minister.
That will kill any church.
Noise is far more encouraging
than silence. 1 would like to hear
something good, but it is better to
hear something bad than nothing
at all.
II will have a better chance of
doing effective work in this COM
munlty IL some OF tnOse VINO near
me only go away and say some
thing. when men begin to squirm,
fidget and get angry. there is hope.
There il some indication Of life in
dry bones.
Ezekiel Inspired Followers.
when Ezekiers congregation OF
dry bones heard the word of the
Lord. there was life impaired to
them, and they became living men.
ready for service.
This gospel does not lose its
power. Its tongue has not lost it's
fire. Its right hand has not lost
its cunning. II Is the hope of the
world. If 1t will not save, there is
not salvation"
The church was crowded. Several
hundreds were turned away.

YeNow Men Sleep
By JEREMY LANE,
CHAPTER xxi.
Copyright, 1919. BY The Century oo.)

CHAPTER XXI.
The weeks and months behind
were like a jumbled dream, and any
scene of it that happened to slip
into consciousness quickened his
pain like a cold knife-the flight
from Tau Kuan. across the oil
marshes, the desert of serpants and
decayed rocks, the cooling rise to
the pass, Helen growing more and
more ill with each days travel, and
his own blindness concerning her
needs. Then the fortnight with the
forest tribe in Gughal Pass, the
rising power of her will, the
squalid passage on rails into Rus
sia-heat dust, vulgarity, and one
treasure.
The steamship to America had
whispered to him once: like a big
bad camel, and the saddle slipping
loose" Only the perfect integration
of courage. that priceless gift from
her mother Eithna, had sustained
her, together with the frightened
attentions of old Fansa. In certain
hours of rough weather, Lexington
had stood beside her, encouraging,
pleading. not for himself. but to
empower her will, to hold on and
on. He had almost lived for her.
Flu All and Fansa were permitted
to anoint her eyes, slightly. when
this compromise with a destructive
prisciple seemed necessary.
The clangor of America had mer-
cifully passed over her head. Koresh
kept her sleeping, on train and
ferry, and, at length, in the March
motor.
Thus, when the transported prin-
cess wakened on this fourth night
in her own house, she looked up at
Lexington and smiled.
II am strong enough to go on"
she said.
Tears sprang to his eyes. God
bless you," he cried, there Is no
more going on. You have arrived
homer
"The house--of my father"
"Yes. And this Is your fathers
father, who loves you very much.Y
Her eyes were steady upon
Stephen March, and he waited
reverently, his white head slightly
bowed. until she should speak.
Mother told me-" said Helen.
"You-you are" She faltered.
The old hands moved to touch her
own, as the grandfather bent over
the bed. She smiled uncertainty.
'T do not know the words. but 1t
pleases me-"
(To be continued.).
