'V Talks About War
Evangelist Telli Large Crowd
Of Experience! at Y Work
er Will Not Reveal
Amount of Offering.
The second portion of Gipsy Smith'i
story of hit experiences as a Y
worker among British soldiers in
Prince wai delivered by the evangelic
at the Audiioriuin. Thursday night at
6 o'clock. The lecture i ot sucn
length that it wat impossible to give
the whole Thursday night, when the
first nortion wa delivered.
The doors of the Auditorium were
nnrnrri at 5:45 and In spite of a heavy
ram whicn was iaumg mc num-
torium was packed.
What the freewill thank offering
ta the evangelist amounted to Wed
nesdav n cht is not known. Accord
ing to J. R. Cain, jr., financial chair
man of the campaign, he has been
chanted to keen the amount to him
self and not even tell the ministers.
Several hours were taken to count
up checks and cash, he stated.
Tells Hit Experiences.
The evanf?elist's lecture Thursday
niht wag a continuat on of that of
Thursday night, in which he related
experience which occurred at va
rious "Y" huts and hospitals he vis
ited. .
were repeated.
"Many people have asicca me wny
never talk about my particular
drnominat on or why I don t preach
a certain creed. I found out the
worthlessness of that when I was in
France," he said last night
"A man is a fool that will talk
about things that w'll divide when
there are so many that will unite.
And when I worked with the boys I
never asked their denomination. It
was immaterial to mc what they be
lieved. Thcv were my brothers and
A V I was there to serve them.
1 "I am glad to see the way the tnin-
I Ar' Utfra anH nrnnle mix in Omaha." he
said. "All my life I've been work
ing to get people to mix. So man
of you are too particular about youi
denominational problems and not
particular enough about the things
pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
"One t me I visited a hut in a vil
lage that had been all but ruined
The men who frequented the hut
were all Munstermcn, from Ireland.
The hut manager told me I wouldn't
be able to preach to them. But 1
did. I had a bill written on green
paper announcing a talk that night
on 'Gipsy Life.' They came and
filled the hut. Then we sang old
sones and I told my life story.
"For six niRhts I had those men
and entertained them with stories. I
made them forget the hell of the
trenches they had Just left and there
is as much religion in that as any
th'ng that can be done. I told them
nature stories and made them see
Jesus in every blade of grass.
Respected Religion Right.
"I had no. right to cram my own
individual creed down their throats
t . T t J 1 it. - .1
uccause x nauycucu iu nave uic au-
vantarre. They had a right to their
own religion and I respected that
right. I made friends of all of them.
"I found out in France that you
could do many things that don't look
reflgious that in reality are religious.
Pouring out hot coffee and tea for
the boys just back from the trenches
was as good as a service."
The evangelist stopped, in digres
sion, to make a short plea for the
Williard Hall which is to be opened
in the near future as a boarding
home for working girls.
"When you people are asked to
subscribe for this good work don't
refuse on the ground that it isn't
your denomination doing it Any
good work, regardless of who starts
it is worthy the support of all true
Christians. Anything that is for
Jesus and His teaching is good. The
boys in France were the most un
selfish in the world. ,
1 have .seen them coming out of
the trenches, where they had been
standing in water to their hips for
hours, singing 'Pack Up Your Trou
bles.' It's a wonder they lived
through the dangers of the unsan
itary trenches.
"If some of you people would
smile a bit when you were coming
home from church Sunday morning
people would really believe you had
got a bit" of religion. The boys
smiled when lots of times I wanted
to cry.
Some people have the idea that
they must have a hymn book in one
hand and a prayer ready before they
an do anything for Jesus. One time
I was in a hut when some boys just
returned from the trenches, tired,
wet through and hungry. A young
woman, just out from England,
wantpH tn tri've them something
J warm to drink at once. The hut
F manager said, 'No, let's get in a
word for Jesus first' She remon
strated and a soldier standing near
by, who heard the conversation said,
'She gives us Jesus with our coffee.'
That's the way, mix Jesus with
everything you do." .
Mentions War Song. .
In mentioning the old song,
"Keep the Home Fires Burning,"
which was sung during a meeting at
a hospital, the evangelist digressed
to say:
"Isn't it religious for the women
to keep the home fires burning!
Isn't it religious for them to keep
just as neat and tidy around the
house as they did when their hus
bands were courting them? Is it
religious for the wives to go gadding
about the city while their husbands
are out of the city? Is it religious
for the men to do the same when
their wives are gone? When sung
in the tight manner, I consider that
song just as religious as any hymn."
T f evangelist told many incidents
which were filled with heart throbs
and human interest One particular
i ly of how nine "hard-boiled" mei
were converted and brought back to
prayer.
One anecdote that will bear re
peating was that of a Scotch soldier
laddie who went into a hut in Eng
land to get something to eat
"During the war," the evangelist
said, "Queen Mary often visited the
huts and without their knowing it,
often waited on the soldiers.
"The Sptch lad came in and
t rushed uf to the queen.
'Give de a cup of tea, he asked.
Two-Minute Sermons
Written Especially for The B by Gipsy Smith
It hat been said that the hanJ that
rocka the cradle" rules the world.
Next to the mother in influence
cornea the school teacher, whose task
it ii to train the mind of the future
generation.
The teacher has the boy and girl
under his or her influence in the
formative, tender years, the impres
sionable years, when seeds are town
that bring forth the harvest. What
the harvest will be, whether good
or ill, depends on the home and the
school.
' What thechil
drcn are taught in
the first 10 yeara
of their school
life forma the
foundation, large
ly, on which they
build their future.
The structure can
never stand unless
... -
f V solid foundation.
C Ii H I could have
rS. I the mothers and
fathers and teach
ers loyal to Christ
for the next 20
years in English
speaking lands, we
could capture the
planet for the Lord Christ.
It is not enough limply to teach
boyi and girls to read, write, add
figures and master science, art, litera
ture and languages. They must be
taught like Timothy, the Scriptures,
and learn to see God's view of men
and things, and to seek first the
kingdom of God and His righteous
ness. This is essential if boys and
girls are to grow up into a genera
tion of pure, strong, noble, clean,
honest, God-fearing men and
women.
And surely that is, and should be,
the business of the schools. Unless
that is the purpose of school life, in
the midst of mind training you may
have a cultured person so far as
learning goes, but with a heart filled,
like the Pharisees, with uncleanli
ness. They were cultured, but Jesus
said to them: "You wash the outside
of the platter, but the inside is full
of corruption."
Some of the biggest scoundrels I
have known have been university
men and women. The head may be
trained and may be filled with all
sorts of good things, while the
heart is starved because it is es
tranged from God. '
The truest culture is that which
takes in mind, body and soul. That is
the program of Jesus Christ.
The queen, in her hurry, misunder
stood him and gave him coffee. The
lad took the coffee and got some
rolls and went into a corned to eat
his lunch. Pie tasted his drink and
found the mistake. He took it back
to the queen and said, 'Say, ye give
me coffee and I asked for tea.'
'You shall have tea. then,' the queen
replied.
I want you to know that when
us soldiers ask for tea we means
tea. so the queen gave him a big
mug of tea.
"Then, to his consternation, a
companion came over and told him
he had been talking to the queen.
He went .over to her.
"'Are you the queen? he asked.
didn't ye say so. and I'd of drunk
your old coffee.' And in this rough
manner the evangelist said the
Scotch lad apologized for "bawling
out the queen." However, he sent
the mug with which she had served
him to his mother in Scotland as a
memento.

Federal Agents Take Steps
To Guard Bonded Liquor
Washington. Nov. 11. Steps to
halt release of imported liquor from
custom houses and bonded ware
houses, pending scrutiny and proper
approval of withdrawal permits,
were under consideration at a con
ference between Commissioner
Haynes and high prohibition and
custom officials.
Action is to be taken, officials said.
to prevent imported liquor being
withdrawn on torgea permits or ir
regular papers. . , .
Lewis Refuses
To Defend Small
Former Senator Declines to
Become Chief Counsel for
Illinois Governor.
Chicago, Nov. 11. James Hamil
ton Lewis, former United States
senator,' announced he had declined
to become chief of counsel for Gov
ernor Small in his forthcoming trial
on charges of embezzlement of
state funds.
In explaining his refusal, Lewis
said the governor was entitled to a
fair trial, free from prejudice of
politics or personal sentiment. Lewis
was a candidate against Small for
the position of governor and during
his campaign denounced the gov
ernor and many of the things for
w hich he stands, so he feels that it
would not appear consistent for him
now to defend the governor. He
says the public should understand,
however, that while a man may be
wrong from a political point of view,
that does not mean he is a criminal
under the criminal law.
Mesopotamian Boy, 12 Years
Old, is Youngest Patriarch
London, Nov 11. At a recent
ceremony of the accession of King
reisuel to the throne of Mesopo
tamia much interest was aroused
by the presence of the patriarch of
the Nestor'an Christians. Those who
expected to see an old man were
much astonished to find that the pa
triarch is a boy of 12, clad in clerical
robes. The present patriarch is the
youngest religious dignitary in the
.world. He is now learning English.
Record Audience
At Gipsy's Last
Noonday Meet
"Pay Your Debts,' Urges
Evangelist Part of Sermon
Devoted to Teachers At
tending Convention.
Gipsy Smith's last noonday prayer
meeting for business men and
women in the Brandeis theater yes
tcrday drew the biggest crowd of
his whole engagement Main floor
and first balcony were packed
throughout the noon hour.
His plea, following the lead of Dr.
F. H. Hargrove of the North Side
Christian church, first speaker, was
for business folk to put Jesus Chri6t
into their business.
"A Christian life is the most prof
itable one to lead in this world and
hereafter, was the theme he dc
veloped.
"Pay Your Debts."
"It is un-Christian for you to wear
clothes you have not paid for or to
contract debts which will work a
hardship on others."
Presence of a large number of vis
iting school teachers iq the audience
led Oipsy to devote part ot his ser
mon to them.
"Don't starve the soul while you
feed the head." he exhorted the edu
cators. "Most of you know every
thing, that's why you impart so little.
Never forget that the most valuable
things to learn in life are not found
in books. When you discover that,
you're on the road to wisdom."
"The letter killed but the spirit
giveth light,'" he quoted. ""
The business world has been cor
rupt ever since God set Adam up in
bus ness in the Garden of Eden and
Adam listened to temptation, Dr;
Hargrove told the big audience.
"Godliness is the best business,"
he declared. "Conduct your business
in a way to please Jesus.
'If you don't, prepare to buy more
Liberty bonds and ammunition, for
there will never be peace on earth till
this lesson is learned."
French Delegates
Attempt to "Spend?
Cigar Store Coupons
N.Y. Gold Star Mothers
Hear Harding's Speech
New York, Nov. 11. A little army
of gray haired women New York's
gold star mothers marched this
morning to Madison Square Garden
to sitfor an hour in the seats of
honor and listen while the unknown
soldier's body, symbolizing all the
sons they gave to their country was
laid to rest with a nation's homage
at Arlington cemetery.
The mothers, more than 1,00 of
them, were escorted by a guard of
honor made up of infantrymen, blue
jackets and marines. . Citizens from
every walk of life, reverently eager
to follow the Arlington services
through the telephonic amplyfying
device with which the garden- and
Madison Square outside had been
equipped, filled the. hall.
Washington, Nov. It. Seme
members of the French delegation
believe cigar store coupons are
money, or did until they tried to
spend 'em. Buying cigars and cig
arets, several delegates paid for them
in large bills. In change they re
ceived one and two dollar bills, sil
ver and coupons for the amount of
their purchase.
They picked It all up together and
crammed it in their pockets. A
little while later, paying for a bottle
of apple juVc, they profferred a
"green certificate" believing It to be
collateral.
"There's no use In us saving up
a million coupons to get an auto
mobile, we won't be here lona
enough," said one of the delegates
laughingly, when the matter was ex
plained to him.
Armistice Day
Should Be Sacred.
Foch Declares
All Great Sacrifices Reward
ed, Marshal Says in State
ment to American
Legion Members.
Pittsburgh, Nov. 11. Declaring
that Armistice day should be made
sacred throughout the civilized
world, Marshal Foch gave out a mes
sage to the American Legion.
"It is out of sacrifice and suffering
that the greatest things in life grow,'
the message said.
"No man ever gave up part of him
self in a great cause, but that his
sacrifice was rewarded a hundred
fold in moral and spiritual blessings.
"Our hearts pour out in sympathy
to the mothers, wives, fathers, sisters,
brothers of those brave soldiers who
made the supreme sacrifice in the
war. Our prayers go up for those
men and at the same time we wor
ship their memory.
"Armistice day, the 11th of No
vember, should be made sacred
throughout the civilized world. It
is the day when we think of the
noble sacrifice made by the hero
dead, of the brilliant records of duty
all performed; of the spirit of pa
triotism and bravery shown by those
who, fortunately, escaped shot and
shell.
"On this day let us think only of
the great cause for which the allies
fought a splendid cause, one that
led to victory and peace. And think
ing of the great cause for which we
fought, let us think also of a bond
of eternal peace, so that the peopie
of the world may work and rebuild
and find happiness in industrial pur
suits, with no thoughts of future con
flicts. "God helping, peace will reign
throughout the world."
