PROBED BY N FOREIGNERS TAKE STOCK O YOURSELF, [a KRAMER'S PLEA Example of Moses Held Up to Audience at Revival Service Taking as the subject of his ser- mon “The Acid Test,” “Big Jim” Xramer, evangelist, Monday night at the Baptist church pleaded for his hearers to make a thorough self examination of themselves to find out their real attitude toward Chris- tianity. The speaker epitomized the life of Moses. “We are living,” he said, “in a day and age when the sacred tradi- tions are being torn up by the roots, put on the witness stand and min- utely examined. Moses’ examination of religion and Chrst‘fanity was thorough. On one side he said honor, riches, power, Mterary fame. He saw himse f hon- ored and appreciated. On the other side he saw loneliness, exile, suffer- ing, sorrow and death. “He chose to suffer affliction with the people of God and to take on responsibilities that brought seem- ingly nothing but ingratitude. . aid Moses make a mistake” On the phy- oa), the intellectual or the moral wide? ‘The first five books of Moses prove that he has gone down to pos- terity in a deathless lterary power. “Tonight I want every man and ‘woman to take stock of themselyes., To find out if they are on safe ground or near the bredkers.

Take the candle of in- spiration and find out just where you stand, “T hope you are not people who are worshipping gold. Judas was not the only one who put his soul on the auction block. You cannot feed your soul on gold. Put the Kingdom of God first because the power of God's spirit only will an- alyze our souls. “Face the issue without eqitivo- cation and without evasion. Many a man has lost God because he hasn't taken stock of himself. Stand still and meditate, be thorough in your examination because christian- ity is faith and not sight. It is hard to distinguish between a christian and a man of the world. Christian- ity is conviction and feeling. “God is a busy ‘God but T tell you never in the history of the world has he deserted a church, a preacher or a program swayed by the great conviction of the ability of Jesus Christ to redeem and to save all men who will come unto him. In the latter part of his ta’k Big Jim has several pertinent questions which are necessary to self analys “. “How. about that unread bible ‘asked the evangelist. “If you want a revival that will rewrite the his- tory of the church ih Casper start reading your bibles. The bible fed christians are the best in the world. If I were to go into many homes tonight, in the accumulated dust on your ‘bibles I could write your dam- nation. You must read !t regularly, methodically and spiritually. “The history of all the great na- tions who have fallen show that they perisheg because of three things. They refused to observe the Sabbath. They forgot God's tithe and they refused to build on the word of God. “How about that secret prayer? No wonder we have juvenile court: You mothers who ask me to pray for your boy and your girl, I tell you that if you want your home to be a little bit better and happier, let the voice of prayer be heard there. “How about the holy spirit? Do you try to live and pray without the holy spirit. If you do your feed ‘wire ie on the ground, there ts fce on your trolley. You have wandered away from your God. “How about that unforgiven broth- er? If you faif here your Chris. tlanity is worthle! The happiest man in the world is the man who !s right with his fellow men. It x maniike to hold a grudge but it | Godlike and divine to forgiv: The Dleakest and darkest hell I can think of would be to know that I had let some one go to their grave without being forgiven.” ’ Mr, Kramer wil! continue his ser: mons every night during the present week, Probably showers Cooler in extreme Refugees Confirm Reports of Plunder- ing and Crime Following Earthquake and Fires LONDON, Sept. 11.—Refugees from Japan, brought to Shanghai by the steamer Empress of Canada, confirm re- ports that foreign victims of the disaster were robbed and murdered, says a Shanghai dispatch to the Morning Post. All the survivors, many of whom were taken to hospitals, told poignant stories of their experiences. niless and without clothes, while several dementia patients are being cared for.

LONDON, Sept. 11.—The Kobe correspondent of the Central News says that refugees arrving on the steamer Empress of Australia credit the commander and officers of the American naval destroyer 217 with the most outstanding act of heroism after the earthquake. This was the dash of the craft up Toklo bay to rescue marooned foreigners in the Japanese capital. Ocean going vesse!s rarely attempt to steam further up the gulf than Yokohama and for the Americans to ‘ake their ship to Tokio through the shallow waters of the upper bay after the seismic upheaval involved unknown dangers. The commander of other ships at Yokohama warned the United States navy men that it was too early to tempt to reach Tokio. Nevertheless destroyer 217 made the run and the Americans were the first rescuers to reach the city after the disaster. As it was !mpossible to dock the craft the refugees were taken aboard from small boats and destroyer 217 returned to Yokohama where the foreigners boarded the liners that were acting as rescue stations, Another dash to Tokio followed and on her return the destroyer brought the remafming forelgners who desired to leave the capital, to the safety of the big ships at Yoko- hama. The American rescuers found the foreign colony encamped in the gar- dens of the Imperial hotel with a strong military guard around the buildings and gardens for protective purposes. The foreigners remained ‘solated in hotel grounds until Tuesday morning when the destroyer arrived. The steamer Empress of Australia continued her relief work at Yoko- hama for nine days before proceed- ng to Kobe with 200 European and American refugees. LIST OF AMERICAN VICTIMS ANNOUNCED.

Nover has this city received a call that should strike closer to its heart than this one. A tragedy that has taken its toll in hundred of thous- ands of lives and has rendered other hundreds of thousands destitute surely is of sufficient significance to awaken a nation.
