Tuesday evening saw the tabernacle well filled with another interested crowd, while A. K. Harper, business man-evangelist, spoke on “Friends and Enemies of Christ.” “The saddest thing on earth,” said he, “is faitblessness in a friend, but many a Christian is faithless ta Chriet.)) There are enemies of the U. 8. within her borders and there are-enemiles of the cross of Christ within his church. I have some sort of respect for even a bad man if he fs out and out with it, but a hyped érite who hides in the church, won't even speak to if I know it." I Mr. Harper stressed the joy that comes with real, earnest Christian living and quoted freely from the Bible from time to time to substan- tlate his statements. “Some people just ke you and me.” continued thé gpeaker, “so-called church mem- bers, live so that they are enemies of the cross of Christ. We ought to stand up for Christ even as a friend. We would do that much for a yellow dog. Many a man in the prison cell went there with these words on his lips: ‘I trusted in my friends.’ Many of you here tonight have never been the same since the hour sometime in your life when a friend betrayed your confidence.” The theme of the whole evening’s talk was the attitude that Christian men and women should take to their profession. Mr Harper brought the large crowd forward on their seats while he told of a young fellow who wad the substitute on P. C. college football team back in Iowa. This fellow was small, but like lightning when put on the field with the pig- skin. He could be depended on for long runs and getting away with the ball, and was known everywhere as the “friend of the team.” He was_once put in in the last quarter of the game and just before the fi- nal whistle blew made his way through the opposing line and slip. ed under the goal posts for a touch- down, winning the game by the sir gle score. who there was in the could be depended on of the team” when it came to “touch- downs’ in life and influence for Christianity. Touching more particularly on hy- pocrites, Mr. Harper said: “No use to talk to some’ people. You say it is wrong to steal. Some fellow an- swers, ‘Oh, I dont know.’ Don't argue with him, search him; he's got the goods. ‘This evening Mr. Harper — will speak on “Windjammers,” @and Sunday afternoon at three o'clock, he will hold a special patriotic ice, speaking on the subjec You Don't Like Your Uncle & You Know What You Can Do.

The cost in blood and treasure was staggering. - PACIFISTS UNSUPPORTED LEGION IGNORES PARADE BOSTON, Nov. 11.—()—Rather than fraternize with pacifist and rad- feal organizations, the American Legion and many civic associations declined Invitations to participate in today’s Armistice Day parade, The’ Kiwanis and Rotary clubs were among the organizations refus- ing to parade, ‘ There were particular objections to. the Women’s International League of Peace and Freedom. the Fellowship of Reconciliation, the Fellowship of Youth for Peace, and the League for Democratic Control. These organizations have been re- tained in spite of protests, because the. Rev, George Lyman Paine, chairman of the Armistice Day com- mittee, belleves they are committed to world peace in principle. The parade was sponsored by the Federation of Greater Boston churches. Governor Fuller refused to designate a milijary man as chief marshal, Members of the First Army corps were instructed not to parade In uniform, and the Greater Boston Council of Boy Scouts withheld per- mission for members to march, In commenting on the peace pa» rade, United States Senator Butler said that organizations had taken advantage of Armistice Day, which belongs to the veterans alone, to ex- press views not in accord with the meaning of the day. 4 Direct our thoughts to holy deeds: Let love abide amongst the creeds, | send Thy blessing ev'ry. day: Forgive the wrong we do or say.

Further, he contended, the state had failed to prove corpus delict! or that the defendant was sane. The motion was made In the judge's chambers and promptly over- ruled by the presiding jurist. The text of Mowry's motion fol- lows: “If the court please, I now move that the jury be instructed to return a directed verdict of not guilty. The defense base# its motion on three specific’ points, “First, that the state has failed to prove the corpus delicti. “Second, that the state had failed to prove that the deceased was a human being comprehended by the statutes of this state, “Third, that the evidence! is in- sufficient to support a verdict of guilty of any crime should the jury find the defendant guilty. The state has not proved beyond a reasonabl doubt that the defendant was sane at the time it alleges the crime was committed. “In support of the contention of the defense that the deceased was not a human being within the mean- ing of Colorado law, the defense de- sires to call the court's attention to the following facts: “The commo law during the time as a of Lord Coke held that murder was the unlawful killing of a reasonable being...
