Most of the members of | the audience didn't know, appar- ently, who he was, as he led in sev- eral songs, played a solo on his slide trombone and sang a solo. “Brighten the Corner Where You Are,’”” which proves the greatest song! favorite at all meetings, was sung for the first time, with “Rody" lnud-“ | | | ing. “Rody” also sald & good word | for the visiting nurses. He wore one of the red tags and advised everybody to help the cause. Rev. E. H. Jenks made 4 the opening | prayer, and Sunday preached on the | “Pharases and the Publican,” and held | up to contempt and scorn the self-right- | eous, self-sufficlent Pharasee. He drew | himself up and, with a look of self-satis- | faction on Iiis face, made the repeated| Pharasee's prayer. | “I fast twice a week,’ he mimicked. ' “Why, the Pharasee was better than the | Tord wanted him to he. The Lord com- | manded the Jews to fast once a vear.| The Pharasee fasted 104 times a year. | God owed him for 103 fasts.” i And “Billy” bubbled with mirth, while | the audience applauded. Sit in Church and Fun. “Away with the damnable idea that a e Eve-Mimself by books and educa- tion and culture and bank accounts,” he shouted with sudden earnestness. “You're lost, and you'll go to hell if you donm't gain salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.” The sarcastic shafts fell thick and fast on lasy church members. He sat on the chair in imitation of the ‘“churchly | crowd.” ““Lots of people go to church,” he cried, “and sit there and fan themselves, and | mumble, ‘Ain’t it hot? and that's all the | sacrifice they make for God's cause, If | there’s anything I can't stand it's lazi- | ness in religion.” | Then Sunday hurled a number of sar- | castic don'te for church members. | “Don't come early to church,” he cried. *“Come in just as the preacher is begin- ming to preach. It will show your mod- esty, Don't sing. No, no; don't do that. s what the choir is for, “Don’t sit in the front seats.

ADMIRAL IS TAKING A VACATION LONDON, Sept. 8.—A dispatch to the Daily Telegraph from Rotterdam says: “It 18 freely rumored in Berlin that the sinking of the Allan line steamer Hesperian was deliberately designed by the party of Admiral Von Tirpits, the German minister of marine, to bring to a climax the differences be- tween Von Tirpitz and Dr. Von Beth- mann-Hollweg, the imperial chancel- lor, over the last note to President Wilson concerning the use of sub- marine boats against liners," Only Taking Vacation, Reports that Admiral von Tirpits, Ger- man minister of marine, intends to re- slgn are Inventions, although it is true that he plans to take a brief yacation, according to the Berlin correspondent of the Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant, who claims to have obtained his information trom authority, A dispatoh from Amsterdam September 3 sald it was reported in Berlin that Ad- miral von Tirpitz would resign and be succeeded by Admiral von Pohl, mow chief of the admiralty staff and com- mander of the Baltic fleet. Tt has been persistently asserted that Admiral von Tirpitz had come Into seri- ous conflict with Chancellor von Beth- mann-Hollweg over the submarine cam- | palgn which the admiral instituted in re- tallation for the British blockade. Thelr differences of opinion came to a climax with the ainking of the steamer Arabic | with its resulting menace to the friendly | relations between Germany and the United States. The chancellor and the minister of ma~ rine visited Emperor Willlam at the front and the monarch was sald to have sus- tained Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg in his demands that the submarine policy be modified for politicel reasons. It was after this conference that it be- came known that Von Tirpitz proposed taking a vacation, and the inference was drawn by tho forelzn press that this was a subterfuge adopted either to cover his retirement by order of the emperor or to hide his chagrin at being overruled In a policy which was popular with the Ger- man people.
