Taylor, pastor of the People's Church of Christ, preached on Sunday night “Are on Pre-Millennialists Pessimists?” He said in part: “There are a lot of people pessimists because we belleve the world is getting worse. If we are pessimists because we believe this, then Jesus is also, because in Matt. 24:237, he sald: ‘Ax the days of Noah were, 80 shall also the coming of the Son of map be,’ So was Paul, because he said, in 2 Tim. 3:13: “But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, decefving and being de- ceived.’ “Some say that we have said that the quicker the world goes to the devil the better because this witl hasten His coming We belleve the world is go- Ing-to the devil as fast as 1t can go, but we are trying to save out of this old world those who will heed the Gospel. In Acts 22:15, Ananias told Paul that he should be a witnesa to all men. That 19 where we stand ““Some claim that the Pro-Millen- nialists caused the failure of the In- ter-Chureh World Movement. We did oppose geetting milllons of dollars and putting it into reforming the world instead of evangelizing it. We also opposed the going to men who were not Christians and begging for money for God's work. They also claim that all we get done is to sit a nd and gaze up at the stars watching for the Lord to come. There is nobody who {s more anxious about winning souls than the Pre-Millenia ists. Read the history of D. L. Moody and watch the work of men like Billy Sunda; Paul Rader, Mel Trauder, Munhall, Halderman and Massee. An- other claim they make is that we are a hindrance to missions. But if you will follow up the missionary work you will find that the ones that are doing things are men who belleve in the soon coming of the Lord. “They also claim that we are hindrance to the progress of the church. We are when it comes to sales, taking chanches on cakes, oyster suppers and shows to make money to advance the Lord's work. And we are positively against‘having moving pictures in the church to get the crowds and entertain them, in- stead of preaching the gospel to save them. ‘“They claim we are too strict about taking people inte our church when have have a desire to come.- We try to hold to the word of God where Pavl says, in 2 Cor. 6:15-18: ‘What fellowship hath light with darkness.’ “Do you know of any Pre-Millen- ninlists engaged in reforms? We are pessimists because we don't. We are not trying to fix up the world The world was never worse than it is now morally. There have never been more robberies, murders, greed and lust than there is today, and we see the reformers trying to make conditions better with the law. The latest thing they ar etrying to do is to compel peo- ple to keep the Sabbath day. Of course it makes our hearts sad to see so muech going on, on the Lord's day. But can 'we make it better by tryin to force men to live better? No! But it we get them to accept Jesus Christ into their lives they will want to keep the Lord's day. We read the other day where a certain pastor told those who are supposed to be Christians, that if they went to church on the Lord's day morning it was all right for them to go to the moving pictures on Sunday night. 1 would Ifke to know how many souls that pastor has won the past year, if this has been his way of giving advice. We are pessimists it we don’t tall into line with the modern way of doing things. But by the grace of God we are going to stand true to the Dord if we must stand alone.” who claim we are a MUCH PETTY THIEVING. Police Hear of Five Small Burglaries in Various Parts of City.

CASES IN COURT MANY AND VARIED Week-End Turns Qut Usual Grist of Law Transgressors Judge John H. Kirkham and Pros- ecuting Attorney George W. Klett oc- cupied their respective positions in police court this morning for the Iast time, and tomorrow morning Liquor Prosecutor Albert A. Greenberg, Who wag recently promoted to the pesition of prosecuting attorney, will fill that office, while Lawyer Klett will be on the bench. The retiring officials had before them this morning the usual collection of week-end offenders, con- sisting of drunks, trouble makers, fighters, petty thieves and an alleged robbery suspect. Many Complications. The case of Nick Clementino, charg- ed with the theft of $175 from his roommate, August Eolli, proved to be a most complicated one, as a re- sult of which the judge ordered the matter continued for four days to al-, low an investigation. Since the evi- dence introduced tended to show the accused not guilty beyond reasonable doubt, no bonds were required of him. He denied any knowledge of the theft, although a considerable amount of money was found in a suit case that was in his care. Eolli reporteq to the police this morning that $175 had been taken from his pocket during the night. Pa- trolman Willlam P. McCue was detal ed at headquarters to make an inves. tigation of the circumstances sur- rounding the loss. He questioned both parties. Eolli said he left $218 together with a check for $2,000 in his pocket last evening about §:30 be- fore retiring. His roommate came in about 11 o'clock and went to bed. At 6:20 this morning Eolli dressed and upon examining the contents of the purse found only the check remain- ing. He suspected Clementino of the theft since he was the only other man n the room. According to his story, he told Nick to remain in the room while he went for a policeman, which the hccused did without objec- tion. He explained to the court that, since he had done nothing wrong, he saw no reason why he should flee from the police. When the complain- ant returned with the police, he found Clementino fully dressed and waiting their arrival. Find $173 in Room | Policeman McCue questioned the accused who stoutly denied having taking the money. A search of his personal belongings ‘“panned out” slightly more than $2. The policeman then took a suit-case down from the | shelf and found $175 in it, Asked for !an explanation, Clementino sald his brother left the box in the reom more than three months ago, asking that he take care of it until he returned to jthe city. He had never opened the suit-case, the accused said., since he was aware that anything of value was therein, the money, in his home on East Main street fol- lowing a complaint. Liquor Case Continued At the request of Lawyer P. F, Mc- Donough, the case of Tony Varnalle, charged with offering liquor for sale, was continued until Thursday morn- ing. He was arrest ~ht by Sergeant William C. Hart and Policeman Patrick McAvay. A quanti- ty of liquor was seized. Liquor Prosecutor Albert A. Green- berg brought condemnation pro- ceedings in the case of John Tutko who was fined some time ago for sell- ing liquor. Judgment was by default. At a chamber session, Mary Wis- cupiak of Newington was committed to the Industrial school at Meriden for the theft of jewelry and cloth- ing to the value of $140, the property of Mrs, Shurberg of this city. She was arrested Saturday at Agawan, near Springfield. Mary admitted her guilt and was wiling, she said, to go to the Industrial school. Reproducer Stolen Upori complaint of Edward Rhein- hold, an employe of the L. A. Glad- ding company, Joseph Metza was ar- rested Sunday morning at his home at 349 Oak street for the theft of a phonograph producer, valued at $25. He pleaded not guilty today, explain- ing that he had taken the piece of mechanism by mistake, leaving be- hind one he had purchased, and had intended to return it this morning. A fine of $10 and costs was imposed To allow an investigation. the case of John Kachinski was continued for 30 days. He was charged with beat. ing his wife. The accused was taken in Saturday night upon complaint by Policeman Walter Malona. The wom- an claims he tried to choke her and then put her out of the house. When she attempted to return, he locked the door. The incident has been repeated weekly for some time past, Mrs. Ka- chinski told the court. Kachinski, however, claims he has ever struek the woman, but on the contrary has given her everything she desires. For three years she has been sick, and during that period he has done everything possible for her, he said. She has tired of him, however, and wants to leave in his opinion. The wife admitted that she is properly supported and that her husband® has worked steadily in one place 24 years. Resisted Policemen Charges of drunkenness and resist- ance were brought against Julius Kas- lowski and Felix Melia by Policemen Patrick O'Mara and John Stadler. The men were arrested Saturday hight on Park street after.a tussle. Eric Qlson, an ex-serviceman, assisted the police in the arrest. Fines of $10 and costs on cach count were handed in bhoth cases. It appears that Felix was drunk and had fallen to the street after which Policeman O'Mara placed him under arrest. Julius attempted to take Felix from the policeman by force and the attentions of the other minion of the law and Mr. Olson were at- tracted., Julius attempted to escape but was apprehended. HE WAS ONLY FOOLING, Carlson’s Threat to Commit Suicide ‘Was Taken Seriously. When A. Carison of 51 Prospect street remarked yesterday afternoon to a friepd that he felt so despondent over the loss of $500 that he might hang himself, the friend proved to be L_gccommodating sort, so he con- MONDAY, JANUARY 31, 42 PERSONS JOIN METHODIST CHURGH Large Congregations Attend All Sunday Services In spite of the rain yesterday, there ‘was a large congregation both morn- ing and evening at the Methodist church.

L Inv o b 'WANT HONEST WORK FOR GOOD DAY'S PA¥ Pla of Railvay Brecutive Urging Abrogation of Agreements —— Chicago, Jan. 31.—Immediate abrogation of the national agree- ments between railroads and el ployes was proposed to the raiiroad labor board today by W. W. Atte bury, chairman o6f the labor commi tes of the association of railway exe. cutives and vice-president of th Pennsylvania rafilroad. The " solvency of the .railroads. of the country must be assured by a duction in operating expenses, M Atterbury declared. Unless promp action affords relief ts the roads, said, many of the lines of the cou try may be foreced into .insolvency. ““The labor board cdn prevent th catastrophe,” Mr. Atterbury s h declaring ‘that the national ¢ ments, rules and working con coming over from the war period #&j terminated at once; that the qpy tion of reasonable and economef rules and workipg copditions be remanded to negotiation betw each ‘carrier and its “own emplo and that as thé basis for such n gotiations, the agreements, rules af working conditions in effect on esl railroad as of December 31, 1§ shall be reestablished.” Reduction of Wages. Touching upon the question of reductions in connection with the. quested action by the board Mr. terbury said: “If the board will do this the committee of the association of way executives will urge upon ew railroad company a party to de No. 2, that no proposal for thes duction of basic wages shall -be m within the next succeeding. 90 d This will afford an opportunity gauge the economics which can accomplished through more effic] rules and working condition: t also afford additional time £ to realize the benefits of h decline in the cost of lving. “Thq national agreements, and working conditions forced of railroads as war meagures” the ment says, ‘‘cause gross waste inefficiency.” 5 $300,000,000 Saving “I estimate that the elimin: this waste would reduce operating expemses $300,000,000 annum.
