s * Will he many,
v many days bffore the Union poople

* earnestness and power have so inu
^pressed the folks that they gather at
h 'the Weftkifr several hours before I
* service to ,gain admission, so fearful
" are they Of faking one sermon.
's Mr. Charles F. Allen directed the
choif to singing several old time fav.
orites In which the congregation joined
and he very pleasantly said,
;/ "Thank you, ladies," but the men were
' not to be let down so easy. He asked
that every man who attended the
: morning pfcaper service from 9 to 9:80
' to stand up. While standing they sang
"Go Tell tha SltoT^? "
~ v ?> ??/ '?" ??? wa
; so will that 1m had them come to the
* front oi the pulpit and sing. It was
If you would like a subject we
* might, call it "Changing Fashions
in Capernaum." The Scripture
* is taken from the second chapter of
the Gospel of St. Mark, a description
Of four men who carried a sick
' friend to Christ that he might be
' hrafod.
The two outstanding notes of the
! Gospel Wdre "come unto Me all ye
that labor and are heavy laden and
' I will give you rest," and "Go ye into
all the world and preach the Gospel
to dvsry creature." But it seems as
if he had left the last command en1
tlrely to an ordained clergy. I think
why so many of us do not "go into
the world" is because we have no mes*
sage to take. The majority of our
* church folk today have only a second
s 1 hand knowledge of God and of Christ
of His promises. I can know
! more of the effect of water to quench
1 my thirst by going to the home
' where I am stopping and putting a
* glass under the faucet and taking one
drink than by reading on the subject
of water for years. 1 can know more
of the effect of ftre on my body by
striking a match and putting my fin:
ger into flam* than I can know by
reading on the subject of fire in all
A . the libraries of the world. 1 can know
} more of the effect of quinine when
- ' .1 am tiling a cold from a small dose
of ii than I can know b? ronrUnnr
\ every medical book which has been
: written. And I can know in one moment
of giad contact with Jesus
L Christ more of His power to save,
' strengthen, heal and forgive than all
the preachers rolled into one could '
' tell me in a thousand years. The rea'
son you dan't talk to your fellownien
about Christ is that you donw know
' Him. You can talk about the murder
J case'1' which the papers are full.
- but UlW iaat name on your lips is that '
. < of JSt US- Christ, and the last topic
* which you discuss is the redemption
< cf this city.
My old grandfather, after he had
i given his heart to Jesus Christ, could
c only read the New Testament as I
\ ' ittw'' music?-by position. Ho wiH be
. 1 ?0 in May. He came home one night
? digging-a Cespel song which he had '
i just heard at the meeting at which
r he had accepted Christ. When he
c climbed up the steps into the Gipsy
1 wagon 'his children were afraid of
' him. Calling them to him one at the
[ time he' told them, "Dont be afraid.
; God has sent home to you a new fath{
er." And kneeling down he prayed
thp God might give to each one of
them the same blessed experience.
And he went on praying until he had
preyed all five of them into the pulpit.
One of-them died but the rest
, of them are preaching somewhere tonight.
What the church of Jesqs
m Christ needs today is an experimental
knowledge of the power of Jesus
Christ. If ever we are going to win
our loved ones for Christ it will be
, beckon e some one cares and is concerned
afcipt them.

fs Sermon ^ I
fetfhig I
This story in the second chapter ol
Mark is that of one man who nev?
could have got to the Master, ,ant
would never have been healed unlesi
somebody loved him enough to hav<
gone out of the way to bring him tc
Christ. I have often imagined what
kind of fellows- these four friends ol
his were, and sometimes-while thinking
of them I have named them.
The first man I have called him Mr
Love. Me is a great fellow to have
in the church, and your church work
and your basinesw around the church
i& Otllv an mnn>> 1 *
- ?? -v *mm unless you nave
love. The disciples looked around at
the multitude and Mid "rag weed.'
Jesus said "harvest." It takes lov<
to see. I don't know of any hardei
thing under the sun than to try to
win a man for Jesus Chrtfet unless you
are moved with the same motive thai
moved the Master, and Out was compassion.
Love sees beyond the exterior.
Love looks behind all the
ugliness and bitterness of life and
sees the soul that Christ came tc
save." Here Mr. Smith referred to
the experience of some slum workers
who rescued a poor fallen girl. She
had no place to go, so they sent hei
to an old German washerwoman. She
was a kind old lady. For days the
poor girl was very ill. One day in
her partial consciousness she thought
that the old lady had kissed her. She
wondered if it were true. She thought
if it were so that the old woman
would do so again. When she came
in later with a tray of food the sick
girl pretended to be asleep. The old
woman sat down the tray, and with
one wrinkled hand she smoothed back
the girl's hair, then stooped down and
kissed her on the lips. The girl opened
her eyes and looking up, said
"Is God anything like that? If God
is like you I can lqve Him." You can't
drive people and damn them and hit
them, but you can love them to Christ.
The greatest devils in hell once had a
cpot in them that might have been appealed
to by love.
The next man at the other corner
of the couch, I have called Mr. Faith.
He is another big man. You can't dc
anything without faith. You remember
a great crowd followed Jesus one
day through a certain city, and they
wondered why He did not do any bic
things. Then they followed Him out
f W. _ > -1-' " * - ' "
me sivy ?iiu uiuukni rte naan i
done anything great in our city, and
Re had done in other places. But
Jesus gave a reason. It wrfb because
of their unbelief. Unbelief builds a
wall between you and'Christ. Faith
is like ? trolley pole. There- is. the
wire full of power and the car fuli
of people, but the car doesn't move
until the pole touches the wire. God
is on His throne. He it as all power
sufficient to < moVe worlds. We can
elaim it by faith, and when we reach
'in the power comes.
Here Mr."Smith asked the congregation
to listen to a personal experience.
He said that sixs weeks after
ne was born his mother took him to
the old Methodist church, of which
she was a members and later on his
younger brother* -likewise, and dedicated
them to God for the ministry,
When he wap 15 years of age, Mr.
Smith said he went to his parents and
(old them that he wished to go to sea.
His mother said, -'Let him go and get
it out of his ayetem. He will be ready
to come back in a year and go to
school again.". He shipped on an old
sailing Ship for Australia. But from
there they were sent to Japan, then
to China and from there to Chile,
thence to Hamburg, and to Liverpool.
H<> bad been gone two years, and
three? months when he returned, and
was as big as he is now, and didn't
want to go back to school. He remained
on the sea for nine years,,and
st the end was second officer oh ar
Atlantic liner, but his mother told
him, "Yon will never do well until yow
jet into the ministry." He marriec
and obtained a good position in America.
But twelve months after he cam*
to New York he was converted. Aftei
a time he went to a theological seminary
to study for the ministry. Upoj
his graduation day a Western U^ioz
messenger boy handed him a cable
gram signed by his mother. He open,
ed, and it read: "I told yon ao." That
is faith.
At the next corner of the couch i|
a man I have called Mr. Persistency
or should I have called him lljfars. Per
sistency? Because it is usually th<
women who keep on in the.work o:
God. Business men go into the chprcl
but they usually leave their brain
m the office. If you men would, rui
your business as you do the church
you would soon go into bankruptcy
If you would run your church as ypi
do your business you could take, con
ttnents and kingdoms for Christ. W<
need people who will keep on in th
work of Chztat jn spijte of obstpclet
in spite of discoragement, to spite o
almost failure, men who will hang 01
and refuse to let go.
At the oilier corner of the couch w

mile annual endurance tost, accoh
iog to experts who have analyzed ?
results of the 1922 moat, bald recsa
r lyatFort Ethan. Allen, Vermont,
j The result, they decided, shoe
what saoing nan have Ions know
1 that the winners come in all shapi
' and siaes.
' This year's Ave day race was 4
fourth annual renewal of the clash
of the army remojint world, whk
W. R.. Brown, of Berlin* N. H., and-^
W. Harris, of Chicago, ware instxi
' mental in founding.
! Wayne Dinsmore, of Chicagi
' chairman of -the committee in charg
' in an analysis of the winning horse
; commenting on the wide range m
\ types that finished in the ribbon
( finds that the variations in the tfc
, t nrs was more apparent than raa
( however, being largely dtse to th
more upatending carriage of hea
and neck in some.
All had good withers for the agd
die. Mr. Dinsmore. aavs. all war
, strong backed and powerfully mat
I cled over back *nd loins, all had fai
t slope of shoulders and pasterns, goo
, feet and well set legs.
Vendetta, the first prize winnei
, was a thoroughbred; Gladstone, fin
. ishing second, a Morgan; Grant, ii
, third place, a grade American saddl
, horse; Cragmore, fourth, a crotsbre
by a thoroughbred stallion out of ,
: standard-bred trotting mare; Path
, finder, fifth, a thoroughbred; an
Clonmell, finishing sixth, waB an im
, ported Irish hunter, largely thorough
. bred in breeding. The first pria
winner was a mare, and all the oth
| ers geldings.
i The most important lesson 1 earns
from the endurance tests,, which re
I quire the horse, carying 220 pound
this year (20 pounds less than il
1920 and 1921 tneets) ; to complet
I the 300 miles in five consecutivejdayi
Mr. Dinsmore says, is the necessit]
for straightgoing action. In . othe
words, the horses feet and legsahouli
move straight forward, parallel to i
line drawn through-the center of hi
body, in the direction of travel. An;
deviation, tne teats nave reveaiec
wastes energy, leads to leg weari
ness, and causes the horses to "in
terfere" by hitting the fetlocks witj
the shoe of the other foot.
None of the prize winners wer
perfect straightgoers, but their de
viation was so slight as to cause i*
interference, except in the case c
I the first prize winner, and her ride
found a way to check the trouble
1 which was due to bad shoeing.
> Next to straightness, the judgq
' decided, a low easy gait is most de
L sirable, a gait described by horsemey
I as "slipping along." This was mos
1 noticeable in Vendetta and .Clonmell
Both raised their feet only enough t
clear th eg round and both put thai
1 feet down squarely with a, spring;
step.
High knee and hock action, wit!
extreme flash, so much admired an<
sought after in horses used as pari
hacks, is a distinct disadvantage i
was found to Worses forced to under
go endurance rides.
The judges also found that the ski!
of the rider, his seat, hands and fee
enter largely in the results. The bee
riders rode the entire 300 mite
standing up in their stirrups, bal
anced so perfectly they never strucl
the saddles. "One of the judges,1
ninemnrs anvs "Hpurrihwi thl

<you .could glue a fresh laid egg ii
the seat of his saddle, and he woul<

| and "pounding the saddle" at a troi
I as the park riders do, is precisel;
{ what must not be done.
I Major Louis Beard, commander o

"I rode the entire distance standin
