LIFE WONDERFUL.
PREACHER SAYS
Helping Others and Work
Great Pleasures, DR..
TomkinS Asserts
DR. PECK, LENTEN
SPEAKER TOMORROW

This Is a wonderful life and We
ought to thank God for creating u.s."
declared the Rev. Floyd W. Tomp-
kins. rector OF Holy Trinity Episcopal
Church. Philadelphia. in the course
OF sermon delivered at the noon
day Lenten service in ST. Andrews
Episcopal Church today. The SER
vice was largely attended. All seats
in the church were filled. and extra
chairs in the vestibules we're neces-
sary to take care OF the crowds.
Bishop Philip Cook. conducted the
preliminary prayers.
DR.. rompkins said in part:-'This
life OF ours IL a wonderful one. and
one that we ought 20 thank God for
giving US. We must not live for
self alone however. The great thing
about this whole life Is the helping
OF others. There is always some
poor sufferers waiting 20 be helped.
This Is the great thing Christianity
can do-help others.
Work II another thing that makes
this life what II is. The man or wo-
man who goes 10 work in the morn
ing with that feeling Of dread IL not
getting out OF life what God Intended
they should. We should love our
work, no matter what It might be.
The idea that your work in a fac
tory has nothing 70 do with the
church 10 foolieh-it does have some
thing TO do with the church. What
ever We DO. II II is done in the right
spirit. is going TO help us.
This world has always had a Ereat
many troubles. and I might particu-
larly mention labor. Until we get a
better understanding OF work we will
have labor troubles. The idea OF a
man working himself 10 death IL non
sensical. a man may worry himself
to death but he never works himself
/ to death.
There are nve great evils we
must fght today, and they are ones
that require a lot OF work in nghting
First we have intemperance. Every
/ Christian should do his best TO
tramp Il down and abide by the
law; second, We have gambling,
which comes IN many forms from
bridge whist 10 gambling in stocks;
third we have moving pictures.
while they are not all bad, there
are many that work great harm 20
our young people; fourth. we have
the Sunday question; many say Sun
day IL meant for a day OF pleasure,
which II far from the truth. II is
the Sabbath day and should be OBJ
served as such. Last we have
''bossism" the lust for power and
control. All these Ave evils are 9
menace and should be fought
against. not only for our own sakes
but for he sake OF others.
We should ever aim 10 DO some
Z thing constructive. In building I
! certain tower one workman slightec
? his work. but Il was kept up by th'
} strength OF the good work done by
fellow workmen. but neverthelesI
that bad piece OF work showed up In
the structure OF the tower, wher
completed-so let US do our wori
well. and make life worth while"
The Rev. George c. Peck. OF th'
, Maryland General Hospital, Balti'

DOESN'T KNOW
Who SHOT HIM
Negro Wounded in Party
Fight, Gives Police Other
Tips
SHOWERS HELD
AFTER RUMPUS

Hearing in the case Of John
Showers, Negro. charged by John
II. Cole, Negro. with assault and bat
terry, was continued until tomorrow
by Deputy Judge Lynn in Municipal
Court this morning. Showers Is al
legged to have used a pistol during
= row at a party at 1892 Walnut
street early yesterday morning. Two
Negroes were shot, Hulet Lilly be-
ing shot in the back and Harry
Showers in the right hand.
Cole was arrested after Court ad-
iourned on warrant charging him
with shooting Showers.
Showers, not Harry Shock, as
stated yesterday, was shot through
the right hand. Owing to Shower s
intoxicated condition, II was impos-
sible TO get his right name when he
was treated at the Homeopathic
Hospital.
Members OF the Detective Bureau
visited the Homeopathic Hospital
shis morning and had a talk with
Hulet Lilly. the Negro shot in the
back, and II Is likely that another
charge may be placed against Cole.
Lilly told the detectives that he
does not know who shot him in the
back. He attended the dance at
1882 Walnut street and when C1le
and Showers began quarreling he
stepped between the two men and
enacted the role OF a peacemAker
with the usual result.
As he Is unable TO tell who shot
him the hearing OF the case tomor-
row will not be postponed on his &C
count.
While Lilly was unable 20 tell the
detectives who shot him he did give
valuable information regarding a
number OF persons who were in the
house. Arrests are likely 10 he made
on charges OF "bootlerginR"
