Think of the hairs on your head

and women quarrelling, imagine it!
by contending they showed they
were proud, selfish, covetuous, evil

they have for that poor boy with the

was breaking because the boy had the
devil in him? They weren't thinking

they wet their pillow with their tears

that don't know what it is to have a

Each was taken up with his own

mt thinking of the broken-hearted
father at all, but they were trying to
break their fool necks to get in the

don't pray. Prayer is impossible my

Disciples Learn
About Weakness
why could we not cast him out %
And SO the disciples soon found out
why it was they were there. Jesus
had given them power to cast out
devils, but instead of living so they
had that power they had been wrang-
ling and jabbering and quarreling
and scrapping and fussing who would
have the chief seat in the synagogue
and who would be in the limelight
and who would be chairman of the
committee and who wouldn't be, and
who would be an usher, or this or
that. They weren't willing to take
some little obscure point and by do
ing so make the old world better and
SO when Jesus came down and found
this little boy with the devil in him
and the people standing around,
found the old father with his heart
breaking. Jesus said to the devil in
him Come out of him and you enter
no more into him.
And the devil came out And when
the disciples saw what Jesus had done
they hurried away and said to him
why could not we cast him out?"
Jesus said, Because this kind
cometh not forth but by prayer and
fasting and you weren't praying and
you weren't fasting. but you were
quarreling and fussing SO you didn't
have power and the boy was worse
off because of your fuss and it didn't
help you any to quarrel about who
would be in the limelight"
o, God help us to see that If our
| ways please the Lord, and all our
ways acknowledge him, he will direct
our paths.

be decent or not. It's up to you, not
to me. Now you know why they had.
Mt been praying, don't you? And
fasting? Now do you know why no
devils had been cast out? They had
been cutting the wire between them
and the powerhouse.
Now listen! No failure Is so sure
as the failure that is sure to come to
the man or the woman who tries to
do something for God without first
getting power from God to do what
God wants done. You just try it and
see where you will come out Never
in the world! It would be as foolish
to try and do what God wants done
without first getting power from God
to do it, as it would be to try and
run a trolley car when the trolley
wasn't within ten feet of the wire.
You couldn't do it! There may be
church pillars here this afternoon, but
| they may be only pillar shams. And
your children are going as straight to
| the devil as the bird can fly. Do you
know why? / will tell you: No altar,
no place of prayer, no time for prayer,
NO devotional habits, no real spiritual
life.
Christianity is not simply system
of teaching. Christianity is system
of teaching life. Christianity is not
simply a creed, Christianity is a creed
plus Jesus Christ. The creed without
Jesus won't save you. Not at all!
| Now Christianity means a new
mind What you see depends on the
mind you've got. Now, if you've got
the mind of Christ in you, Christian.
| ity means a new mind. 1t means a
new will. God gives you new will;
that gives you new force, like coal
and water give force to locomotive.
And Christianity is new affection
You love the things you used to hate
and hate the things you used to love.
Set your affections on things above,
! not on things below.

What One Reader Thinks
OF Hammer Blow Struck
Against Sin By Sunday
The following

The following has been submitted:
A large tabernacle with a roof like
unto new gold and studded with win
dows through which outside light
came white and cool. Serted seats
of yellow lumber stretching away to
the farthest end and mutely pur-
poseful. At the head of the tabernacle
high pulpit draped with flags; above
huge audiphone through the center
Of which sprayed strong white light.
Back of this the raised ranks Of the
mighty choristers now assembling. Be
low them on either side the ushers
and managers quarters roped off and
placarded. Beneath the feet a thick
carpet of new pine shavings. Through
all and over all the new clean smell
of pine and a sense of pulsing ex-
pectation.
Then come the people sitting in
through the wide entrances and set
Ting on the benches like resistless
swarm of locusts in a ripe wheat
field. A murmuring sound is heard.
the speculative and intermittent buzz
of humans awaiting a spectacle. A
withholding attitude, quietly curious,
yet soul-awake and receptive; a peop-
lie who had heard much and now want
ed proof. Hearts suspending their own
pulsebeats that they might begin in
rythm to that which had called them
in.
Music Leader Appears
Reporters now assume their places
on each side of the great platform
pulpit and a slender young man with
a high forehead and generous pleas
ing mouth steps under the great
and eloquent arms releases the great
chorus to music and praise.
Immediately Billy Sunday, evangel-
list, mounts the platform and perhaps
he has never faced in all his ministry
a more conglomerate mixture of
creed, criticism, Judgment and opinion
than were stamped upon the bearing
of that crowd.
They saw a man graceful AID Joint
less in motion as a tiger and with
the same quality of invineibility. En-
ergy flowed from him visible as water;
grim fearlessness sat upon his
mouth and a restless Impotence to
begin gave his face constantly
changing expression.
Preliminary is not his forte; he
can grab a cudgel, strike blow and
effect a change with the dispatch of
lightning No man may sit under his
speech and remain unimpressed. He
makes a dent, hole, a chasm. and
God or the Devil will fill it up again
Richmond cannot now get from un-
der the hammer of God as expressed
in the person OF William A. Sunday.
| We are bound to be bruised, beat
ed and conquered. When he has fin
ished with us we have but one re-
course-accept God or be lost

the First English Lutheran church,
are the other members of the commit
tee.
The interior view shows the large
tabernacle in which Billy Sunday
preached daily to about 1000 people
at Charleston, w. Va.
In this picture can be seen the pull
pit; the black opening of the pulpit pit
where Billy Sunday stands while he
shakes hands with the trail hitters;
long lines of seats where hundreds sit
in the choir; the winged augiphone
which carries the voice of the speaker
to the most remote section of the tab.
ernacle can be seen suspended from
the ceiling over the speakers plat
form, and the numbered posts where
delegations are arranged in groups.

Billy Hasn't Forgotten
His Early Athletic Ability

No one doubts now that Billy is an
athlete.
With his first few sermons over,
very few entertain any misgivings
about the famous evangelist's ability
TO cope with the best of boxers, run
ners. contortionists or acrobats.
All who had forgotten that Billy
emphasizes his hot shots" with spe-
cial hazardous position have been
reminded to the contrary.
1t wouldn't be Billy if his vigor
didn't run over into pounding the plat
form. beating the air, and climbing
chairs--now would it?

Russia Ready For Concessions.

DECENT press dispatches from Moscow state
II that the Bolshevik government, becoming
alarmed at the encircling grip of the great famine,
which, it is said, draws nearer and nearer to the
Red army itself, is prepared to make any conces-
sions at the Genoa conference in order to obtain
reconstruction loan for Russia The Bolshevik
leaders clever men; however twisted their cev-
erness may be, they know that an unfed army grows
rebellous. If it be that the food supplies are
dwindling so that the rations of the Red army arc
threatened it is quite likely that dispatches telling
of the Bolshevik willingness to yield to any de-
mands put upon them in return for the means of
reconstruction we'll within the truth.
1t is probable, indeed that the Bolshevik lead
ers not only willing to make concessions under
pressure, but anxious to have that pressure
brought to bear upon them Lenin, most of all,
would probably welcome being apparently coerced
into economic and political measures which he
really desires. Lenin is strong man, however
strange his thoughts may be- and he is no fool. 1t
is characteristic of most strong men to make mis-
takes. Perhaps Lenin his now. He has already
marched long way from communism. Probably
he would like to march further. Would he not
welcome the chance to tell Russia-to tell the Com
munist party-that circumstances such that
Russia must move still further to capitalism, that.
on account of Russias misforunes, she is compelled
to accept terms laid down by "capitalistc' nations
in order to bring regeneration?
The Cannes meeting laid down certain condi-
tions under which Russia might come to Genoa
and apparently, Russia has accepted those condi-
tons But it is reasonable to suppose that Russia
would go further, perhaps wants to go further.
Some time ago. the London Morning Post pub
lished an article which stated that the Bolshevik
government had been in touch with Alexander Ker-
ensky and his associates with an idea of forming
a coalition government. In view of other develop
ments in Russia, this does not sound improbable.
Russia is anxious to get back into the family Of
nations.
The attitude of the United States government
toward Russia has been purely negative. We have
said that would recognize the Bolshevik gov
ernment, but we have not stated what action must
be taken events transpire in Russia in order
to obtain recognition. We feed Russia with
hand and slap it with the other. Bolshevism
no longer threatens world revolution. The suffer-
ngs of Russia have been sufficient propaganda
against Bolshevism, thousand times too strong for
all the propaganda the Bolsheviki can spread
America has nothing to fear from Russia. Is it not
possible, then for America to declare more plainly
just what is the American policy toward Russia |?
Is the time now ripe to say what steps we expect
Russia to take to make herself fit and worthy for
reception into the family of nations?

Horoscope
SUNDAY, MARCH g. 1872.

Astrologers find this a doubtful
day in planetary direction. Mer-
curry Is in a strongly benefic aspect
in the morning and later Jupiter
and Neptune are adverse.
There is a most fortunate sign
for letter-writing which should be
exceedingly lucky in all affairs ex-
cept those pertaining to love.
Neptune frowns on romance, max
ing 1t easy for wooers to deceive
and women to charm.
The clergy may find the influences
rnfavorable. for congregations are
likely TO be careless, in attentive
and critical.
1t is not a fortunate time for
making appeals in behalf of phil
anthropy aud charity. since men and
women of wealth will not respond
readily to appeals when Mercury
Is in evil aspect.
Again there Is prophecy OF
schisms in churches and changes in
congregations.
Great progress on the part Of two
diametrically opposite religious or.
ganizations will be made in the
coming year and each will arouse
anxiety and make enemies.
There is a sign said to indicate
a campaign to awaken public sym.
pathy for prisoners in jails and
penitentiaries. This may mean that
sweeping reforms in the manage
ment of Institutions will be begun
Women are to take extraordinary
interest in political issues that
arise this spring but they will not
adhere closely to party affiliations
The seers prophesied on January
I that many men and women In ex-
alted places would end their ca.
reers in 1922 and the stars seem tc
presage the deaths of leaders In
literary, artistic and theatrical
work.
Intrigue among Socialists is to
affect France and Italy during the
spring and summer. Diplomatic
complications with this country are
likely to arise.
An American ambassador is to
become involved in an embarrass.
ing situation.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is
probably will have a quiet and sue
cessful year. but they must not
speculate.
Children born this day will be
clever and Industrious, healthy and
happy. They may be fond Of pleas
ure and inclined toward extrava-
gance.
