The message was sent from Tsar-| koye-Selo, the emperor's residence near Petrograd, under date of Sep-| tember 6. It follows: | “In placing myself today at (hel head of my valiant armies, I have in : my heart, monsieur president, the | most sincere wishes for the great- | ness of France and thé victory of its | glorious army. | (Signed), “NICHOLAS.” !

The audience sang several hymns, led by H. C. Brewster, who sang a solo also. Mr. Sunday stood at his pulpit all through the singing, and then sailed into his ser- mon with a vigor that defled the heat. It was a defense of religious revivals | and an attack on those who don't belleve in them or sneer at them., Such he called “fools” and “‘mutts” and “chumps.” The church needs a revival, he sald, because of its Indifference to the evil of the world, “T am amazed as I go up and down in the world and see the utter indifference he declared. “They see people all around them that are going to hell and never try to stop them," He delivered stralght shots at= the church people and attacked their short- comings. W o A Prayer Suggestion, “Don’t job-lot your sins in praying,” he sald. “‘Make & lst of them and pray God to deliver you from them one by one." He was sapecially bitter and contemptu- ous against the proud and the envious. Drawing himself up and with a lordly gesture of the hand, he haughtily ex- claimed: “Get out of my way, Ford, I drive a Packard.” Then he laughed und shook his head. “My, my, it's & good thing for some folks that I'm not God for about fifteen minutes,” he chuckled, “You're envious, lots of you, because your melghbor can pay $2 for a hat and vou only $3.45. If $3.48 suits the size of | your pile, it's more honorable to wear that hat than to buy the $2 one and go into debt. Bean soup is Better than por- terhouse steak If bean soup suits the size of your pile. Patches are more honorable than pawn tickets,'” Promptly at 3 o'clock Mr, Sunday closed his sermon with a prayer, beginning, “Well, God, we thank You for this splen- aid_meeting." Carranza to Help Put Down Bandits WASHINGTON, Bept. T.~Today's oes- sation of ralding on the lower Rio Grande and the announcement that General Car- ranza had ordered his commander at Montamoras to co-operate in a campalgn against - Mexican bandits, left officlals here to belleve that the gravity of the border ftuation has been somewhat re- laxed. The 4,000 American troops in the vicinity still had orders, however, to be ready to handle any emergency. Carranza’'s denial, announced through his Washington agency, that his troops had participated in the raids, was re. celved here after General Funston had forwarded reports from Brownsville in- dicating that Carranza soldlers had fired across the border.
