Forceful Sermon
at Revival

Following the thought brought
out in Dr.. W. j. Eddy's sermon
at the First NJ. E. church Mon
day night, DR.. H. G. Stoetzer
preached an excellent sermon last
light from the text "Wilt thou not
revive US again that thye people
may rejoice in thee." DR.. Stoet-
zers talk was gathered closely
around the ten, and much empha.
sis was given TO the latter part of
it, that thy people may re ioice
in thee.'
I'VE all want health. happiness
and prosperity" he said, land
there Is, no surer way of getting It
than by living a christian life. I"
He emphasized the idea that health
would come II happiness and pros
perity were obtained, and made 1t
clear that the only real Joy is the
christians joy, because he Knows
he is in the right path, the right
place and the right spirit"
1.-THE grea est source OF joy to-
the christian" he said, "is the
Holy Spirit. Too often we. as
christians, expect to get our pleas.
'ure from material things. We
can't do 1t. Our influence is neg.
ative and we do not have any
gTeaI: power in christian work be.
cause we leave the Joy out OF our
own lives" Much emphasis was
also, placed upon the Bibles state
ment, .She that liyeth in, pleasure
isa dead while she liveth." rs.
"The, christians greatest uns

has for ages been trying to free
the human race OF Its shackies,
trying TO free the body, mind and
spirit" Dr.. Stoetzer made 1t plain
that all can help in freeing them:
selves by creating a revival IN
their own hearts.
Men are not ---:5Iians because
they are successful" he said, "but

Hippodrotne
StageHands
Coon Strike

Stage hands at the Hippo
drome theatre went on a strike
yesterday because OF the refusal
OF the management to add an.
other employee. AS a result OF
the action, Russell Henrici, man.
ager OF the theatre, and a mem.
Der of the orchestra, were com.
PEELED to do the stage work dur
ing the three acts OF the La.
Reane Stock company.
The action OF the stage hands,
two in number. In demanding an
additional employee is said to
have been based. upon a provi-
sion Of the International Asso-
citation OF Theatrical Stage EN-
ployees that a stage carpenter
must be employed II the show
itself runs more than an hour.
The three acts Of the LaReane
Stock company, 1t was claimed,
ran eight and a half minutes
overtime, and the employees
made their demand for a stage
carpenter. a job paying $62.50 a
week under the union scale.
In explaining his refusal to
meet the demand OF the stage
hands, Mr.. Henrici explained
that the same sets were used in
all three acts OF the LaReane
Stock company and that the
employees had not been called
upon to do any extra work.
