J. W. Chapman of Philadelphia and Other Famed Speakers Hold Impressive Services. OAKLAND, March 6.—Fifteen hun- dred men took part this afternoon in a remarkable meeting at the First Congregational Church, which inaugu- rated in Oakland the great evangelistic revival that has been sweeping over the United States. This is a reflex of the extraordinary religious movement be- extending throughout the British Isles, thence to this country and working steadily westward to the shores of the Pacific. For a year the pastors of Oakland have been preparing for the visit of the notable band of Christian workers, who have been preaching the gospel throughout the land. Not since religious world been stirred as by the labors of the men who to-day began their campaign in this city. The local clergymen have entered into the work no less enthusiastically than ‘their brethren, whom they welcomed to-day after the long march across the conti- | nent. { The campaign in Oakland will cover | two weeks and calls for five services each week night except Saturday, with | special meetings on Sundays at five| churches in the districts into which the | city has been divided. In the central| portion the meetings will be at e | First Congregational Church and the First Presbyterian Church. For East Oakland the Twenty-third avenue Baptist and the Eighth avenue Metho- dist churches have been selected. At West Oakland the meetings will be held at the Chester street Methodist Church. Meetings will also be held Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday | afternoons at 3 o'clock. Large chorus | choirs have been organized in each | church to assist with the music. a note- worthy feature of which will be the solo work by the singing evangelists in the visiting party. THE FIRST MEETING. The Rev. J. Wilbur Chapman con- ducted the big meeting this afternoon at the First Congregational Church. With him was Fred Butler, a basso of much’ power, and Charles Allen chor- ister, who led the choir and congre- gational singing. Pastors of nearly all the evangelical churches occupied seats on the platform. The Rev. Ernest E. Baker of the First Presbyterian Church opened the meeting. Prayver was | offered by the Rev. Thomas A. Bover. of the First Christian Church. Dr. Baker sald: \ pastors of Oakland united in a confer— 0 to arrange for this campaign. together to ppesent Jesus Christ to the men and the women of Oakland. From | the Fast have come reports of the wonderful work that has been done by our brethren, and it is our cne great desire to have the same blessed results here. Dr. Chapman, forceful, clean cut, sympathetic and heart-reaching, led the great audience of men in the reci- tation of the twenty-third Psalm, “The Lord is my shepherd.” He brought his hearers into restful touch by a prelude | to his discourse, during which he said: | This remarkable gathering tells us that these are days of revival. God is certainly moving In the world. Let every Christian man put aside his cares and worries, and call all of his bratkren to the service of God. Ask them to come. If they don’t want to hear the preach- ing, tell them to come and hear the singing. ‘We wil! take care of them after they get here. NO FEAR OF THE JUDGMENT. For the text of his sermon, Dr. Chap- { The man read from Hebrews 9:27: It is appointed unto man once to die. But | after this the judgment.” The evan- gelist said he had chosen that text be- cause it was one that would make men think. He continued: There is no reason why a Christian need fear the judgment. If I could prove to you that before this week ends you would be cailed upon to face your conscience. your record and | your God, there is not a man in this church | who would turn to his business to-morrow morning. The very thought of the judgment makes men think. No man can escape it. It is personal and because it makes men think i | the reason I have taken this text. | The easiest person in all this world to lead | to Christ is a man. Some of you may not agree with -me. Some of the preachers may not agree with me, but I know men. and 1 know their ins and their temptations and their troubles, not all by personal experience, but by personal contact. Men can be brought to Christ if they will think, and I say this text will make them think. Eternity! Where will you spend it? 1 hear men say they do not join the church because there are hypocrites in the church. That is not true. ~That {s not what keeps | them out of the church. There are hypocrites | in the church, but there are also many nobls. men and women, and I count now vour moth. ers and your wives as more than balancing all of the hypocrites you or I will ever find in the church The judgment is a place of meeting. You are going to meet your consclence, and your coneclence 18 that which approves when you are right and disapproves when you are wrong. It is that which causes your face to flush and heart to beat like a trip-hammer when you 2re in sin At the meeting’s close Dr. Chapman met many of his hearers personally. The Rev. Robert F. Coyle of Denver and John H. Elliott conducted services this afternoon at the Second Congre- gational Church. Charles E. Rykert was soloist and chorister, EVENING SERVICES. Services were held in the five ap- pointed churches this evening, Dr. Chapman preaching at the First Con- gregational Church. During his dis- course he said: God 18 no respecter of persons. This is true of cities as well as of individuals. The fact that God has moved Atlanta, Denver and Los Angeles indicates his willingness to move Oakland. God is no respecter of persons as to the judgment of sin. He rebukes both the high and the low, and he is no respecter of persons as to thé gift of pardon. The fallen girl on the streets is as welcome to the gift of God as the woman clad In silks. Peter's story of Jesus embraced his whole life from the manger to the throne. This fs my purpose. I will present him to you living in Nazareth to prove his sympathy for you, working in Galiles as presenting to you a great {deal, dying on the cross as your sub- stitute, raised the third day with power and judging the world at the last great day. There are some things I cannot do and you have not sent for me to do them. I can- | not_preach along denominational lines. I am a_denomiuationalist. but here first, last and all the time, I am a Christian. I cannot preach so as always to please you. The skillful surgeon must some knife. T cannot gather the results—an evangelist is not a reaper, he is the proclaim- er of glad tidings—but 1f the people of Oak- land will be in sympathy with me and will give me their support whatever the condi- tions of the weather may be or whatever | other engagemeénts may entice them away, I can absolutely pledge a great ingathering of such as shall be saved. There are some things I know I can do. 1 can show you where you are wrong. I can you with your responsibility for others, I can bring back the visions of other days when you knew Christ intimately and 1 can lead you to Christ if you will but lsten to_my message and take heed.

El- liott and Charles E. Rykert, singer, conducted the evening meeting. | Long before the hour appointed for | the meeting at the First Presbyterian | Church to-night crowds were pouring into the church. When the meeting | began every seat in the great audi- torium was filled and the ushers were turning late comers into the overflow : meeting, which was conducted by the ! Rev. H. H. Wintler in the chanel of | the church ! The Rev. Henry Ostrom conducted | the opening meeting, the subject of his | sermon being “Revivais.” He told of the revivals in every day life: the re- vivalg on the farm for seed time. re- vivals in political times and revivals! in the schools at the time of gradua-, tion. After calling attention to these unnoticed revivals the evangelist said: Is it then any wonder that we call the wnp!! of the churches to a revival of religion? e want no mere excitement, no mere intoxi- cation, no fuss, we want the tonic, the food, the power so that men shall have moral muscle and put o use for the good of his melgh- bors. We want It to be eadier for the grocer to collect his biils and harder to start a fami- ly quarrel at the breakfast table, we want the sense of God. You will notice that this great revival in- terest now sweeping over Wales and England and America is a revival of Bible study. It must be so to be worth consideration. We have forgotten in these days the cost of thi§ great book of God. We forget that but yes- terday men died by fire to give it to us in our tongue. We have surrounded the book with an assumed mystery. It would help greatly to understand some of the commenta- tors if we would just study the old book more. Let us begin this revival to-night by pledging right here that we will with to-mor- TOW commence to memorize one text of Scrip- ture each day. Get to your Bible, We must have a great revival of praver. People take to the little oyster supper and chicken ple socfal more readily than to prayer meeting because they know more about oys- ters and chickens than about prayer. They have sampled them. The great need of the hour then is not to oppose the oyster supper, but to get the praver revival. hen busi- ness men actually know alone and with their hot heads, heavy hearts, how to pray until they know they have the strength and counsel of God they will take to prayer mors readily than to any kind of food. When the mother knows how to come forth from secret prayer with the tangle of family affairs all straight- ened out by the hand of the Almighty Father she will delight in prayer as a great luxury. When the student struggling with the last theory he read {n some books comes. forth from prayer knowing that he knows God then he will prefer prayer befors his dinner. On the platform with the evangelist were: The Rev. E. R. Dille, the Rev. E. E. Baker, the Rev. H. J. Vosburgh, the Rev. Miles B. Fisher, the Rev. A. M. Shaw, the Rev. Frederick Johnson and the Rev. J. P. Currin. A LEADER OF MEN. | Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman, who leads the corps of evangelists in this national movement, is one of the foremost work- ers in the Christian world. He volun- tarily took up evangelical labors thir- teen years ago when he resigned the partorate of Bethany Church of Phil- adelphia, which had a membership of 8000 and a Sunday school enroliment of 5000. During his three years' service in that church 1000 persons were added 10 the membership roll, of whom a ma- jority were men. With a peculiar gift of reaching men Dr. Chapman sur- rendered his pastoral relations and de- -cided to go into the world as a preacher of the Gospel. He has made a remark- able record.

M FEATHERS MAKE Chicken Stealing Laid .at Door of a Fraternity House in University Town POLICE HEAR COMPLAINT Neighbors of Phi Gamma Delta Men Miss Poultry and Suspeet Collegians of Theft Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center Street, March 5. So simple a circumstance as a trail of chicken feathers leading from the yard of a neighbor to the steps of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house on Dana street has led to the suspicion on the part of the police that epicurean appetites may have tempted the fra- ternity youths to fracture several of the ten commandments, including those which forbid coveting the possessions of one’s neighbor or of laying violent hands upon his goods. Complaint was made to the police to- day by L. H. Shaw, residing at 2224 Dana street, that six fine fowl had been stolen from the poultry depart- ment of the establishment last night. The squawking of the captive fowl was audible near the midnight hour, but no attempt was made at that time to apprehend the poachers on the Shaw preserves. This morning, however, fowl were found to have been taken, search was begun and with the assist- ance of Deputy Marshal Carey a trail was established that led straight to the doors of the exclusive and aristo- cratic fraternity youths’ building, ad- joining the Shaw mansion. No 8. Holmes deductions were required to convince the indignant owner of the poultry reservation that the Phi Gamma Delta lads feasted on chicken either last night or to-day, the feast being at the expense of the Shaw household, which fancied that it con- tributed the piece de resistance in the form of six big, fat and thoroughly edible chickens. No attempt was made to continue the investigation begun by the Deputy Marshal into the fraternity house of the Phi Gamma Delta men, but it Is said that the case will not be dropped, nuembers of the Shaw family being de- termined that the depredators on their | premises shall be made to suffer. Three years ago fraternity circles| were stirred by Marshal Kearns’ work in fastening a chicken-stealing offense upon theSigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity men. At that time the bloody stains on the way to the fraternity house from the chicken yard that had been despoiled provided the clew which the officer followed.
