SOCIETY LIKENED TO POOR "You want to watch out for the bludgeon-carrying minister. Slam arid slap and coarseness are foreign to the example of Christ." "Little children are perma- nently affected by what is said In the pulpit. Every minister ought to treat other children as he would want his own daughter treated." "Courtesy is due to every class in society. If I were preaching in a dance hall or in the red- light district I would use the same language that I would if T were preaching in th* pulpit ' "Education will no more change the character of a per eon than scraping the tongue will cure fever or painting the cheek will cure pallor."

"Nothing short of a new birth will make a new man of you." "Evolution, development and im- provement are pleasant terms to talk about, but it will take some- thing more radical to change the .life of the average man who is down in the ditch." Striking epigrams from the ser- mons delivered at the Desplaines camp meeting Monday. "You cannot brace up or evolve, or culture the average man who is down in th*> ditch bo that he will clean up and succeed, but you can convert him and then all the progress and culturVyou can get him to take will help him." Following this line of tLv u^i.. the Rev. Henry Ostrom, evangelist, at the Desplaines camp meeting Monday n|ght led many to kneel at the mourn- ers' bench in the straw a id dedicate themselves to a better life. "Nothing: short of a new binh," de- clared the speaker, "irrespective of .your material condition, will make a hew man of you.

"It is a mystery, but there is mys- tery in music and 111 science, and in the sprouting of a grain of wheat Evolution, development, improvement, are pleaaant terms to talk about, but it will take something more radical than that to do the work of cleaning up some people." The preacher who has stocks and bonds or an income from any source of over 1600 a year, provided ha tea retired or superannuated minister, was brought up for discussion dnring the afternoon. The Rev. W. J. Lib- berton presented a plan by which re- tired ministers possessing an income in excess of 1600 will be prevented from receiving any of the mOney con- tributed at the Rock River conference for the support of the retired clergy- men, until after a comfortable living sum has beer distributed among those in need. The Re^. Ho e B. Williams, pas- tor of the Covi.AQt church of Evans- ton, preaching at the afternoon serv- ice, declared that "the great need of this generation was a new sense of God." "The one universal testimony on the Titantic when death was immi- nent was the cry for Ood," said the speaker. "In spite of all the great Inventions of our age, we have found no antidote for trouble. A million- aire offered a million to each of his three doctors for a few years of life, but in spite of his gold, death took him." Purity and Patriotism 8alntly. Faithfulness to the marriage vows and loyalty to the flpg were u*ed as illustrations of consecration by H. C. Hart of Madison, Wis., who spoke at the morning service. The Swedish and Norwegian churches, which form a large contin- gent on the camp grounds, will have an important service today. All the meetings will be directed in the in- terest of the Swedish Women's Home and Foreign Missionary work. Professor John E. Hillberg, editor of the Swedish Methodist paper, Sandebudet, will be the prin- cipal speaker. Prof. Hillberg is well known as a lecturer in the public schools of Chicago on matters per- taining to Sweden and the Swedish people. Dr. H. G. Jackson to Talk. Dr. H. G. Jackson, who last year created a stir at the camp meeting by his original interpretations of the Book of Job, and, which brought him letters for and against his position from all parts of the country, will give a Bible reading today on the sub- ject af denominational unification. Dr. Jackson is one of the eminent theologians of the denomination and his utterances will be given a wide hearing. The Rev. H. Beebe, D. D., pastor of the First Englewood church, preached tho morning sermon Tues- day, and Dr. A. L. Atbritton of South Chicago was the preacher for the afternoon. X Has Ascended Up to "CHICK" EVANS WINS WESTEfN CILF TITLE By making one of the gamest up- hill fights ever seen on a western link, "Chick" Evans of Edgewater, but formerly of this city, overcame) a big lead Warren Wood had gained and won the match which gives him the western championship, at Denver Saturday. At one time during the match Wood had a lead of three on the yenug star and was playing a steady game. Wood looked like a winner. Evans never, quit, however, but plugged along waiting for an opening and when it came he eat down the big margin and then took the land into Ms own bands. He won the title with ail up score. This is the second time the Bige- water player has halt tha western title.

July 21.â€" Pastor Russell is on his way to attend Gen- eral Conventions of Bible Students to be held in Europe. He will be absent fromAmeiica about two months, speak- ing twice a day In many of the princi- pal cities. His text for today was: "If I go and prepare a place for you, 'I will come again and receive you unto Myself, that where I am there ye may be also."â€"John xlv, 16. The error of supposing that men are alive when they are dead lies close to the foundation of every theological er- ror the world over. We have all erred in taking the guess of Plato instead ot the Word of God, and we can get rid of our difficulties and theological en- tanglements only by retracing our steps. The Bible alone, of all religious books, teaches that a dead man is dead, and knows nothing, and that his only hope is in the Divine arrangement through Christ, by a reaorrecjtagi of the dead-"both of the just and*f>he un- just"â€"Acts axiv, 15. "No Man Hatlf Ascended to Heaven.** Here note our text In it the Master says not a word about our going to Him at death, but quite to the contrary -that He would come again and re- ceive us unto Himself. And are we not told that this will be an instantaneous change? Is It not styled an awakening from the sleep of death? But, says one, does not the second coming of Christ take place whenever His holy ones die? Does He not im- mediately come to receive them unto Himself? Surely only a very lame theory could seek to bolster Itself np by such a per- version of the Scriptures, if Christ were to come every time one of His saintly ones die. would it not mean man* coming* instead of merely a second comingt And even If His faithful were very few Indeed, would it not seem that this would keep the Redeemer busy coming and departing every few minutes? Hearken again to Jesus' words, "No man bath ascended up to heaven." (John ill, 13.) Only the Son of Man had ever been In heaven. He baa as- cended np where He was before, with additional glory and honor. \ The Case of the Dying Thief. But; says some one, did not the dying thief go with Jesus to Paradise the very day in which they both died? No, we have made a stupid blunder and misinterpretation of our Redeem- er*a dying words to the thief. The wrong thought being in our minds we misinterpreted In harmony therewith. And our interpretation has done an immense amount of harm. Thousands of people have been encouraged to continue a life of sin, trusting that with their dying breath they may have the opportunity of saving, "God be merciful to me." and then be immedi- ately ushered into glory, honor and im- mortality. Let us see what Jesus really said. Mote the circumstances. Jesus hung between two thieves; one of better heart than the other honestly admitted his own guilt and that of his comrade. We paraphrase His words, "Lord, 1 have defended yon against an unjust attack. Remember this poor thief If yon ever have an opportunity to do a kindness to me in return. I heard yoo before Pilate say that yen have a Kingdom, but not of this Age; some heavenly Kingdom I therefore pre- sume.

V. _ But Jesus arose from itwh from j*ode«, from the tomb, from the state of death, on the third;day. 0© had uott been to Paradise, for paradise was not yet to existence. ]B+ h»d not been to heaven, for He hnd been defid.

Could anything be plainer, simpler, more harmonious? TO W.H.WARKENUltSIN While enjoying a lake trip two weeks ago William H. Warren, 118? Ridge avenue, Evaneton, suffered a stroke of paralysis.
