J listened! to about the . best address I have ever heard, and 1 - - have heard almost sJirfor 10 years i ,i t think, of the afclef - men who are conse 'crating) their lives to religious work. , As a result of that meeting,' I don't .t turns u is exaggerating to say that ,iuiiy 600 men asked, for prayer. and Z6'i - ana probably- more testified that they ' deaiied to accept Jesus,. It was a great unernoon; it was a-grreat day. ..., "Uut, dear friends, every aiernoofi n4 every day are great afternoons i and great days made great by thts one tiling, that every moment of time In every day Is a moment of decision. We ore deciding the great problems of ie every minute we live, by the con dition iind state of our hearts, what snuii oe ue trend of our Uvea, what Khali be the habit of our lives, whai shall be our present and1 our eternal destiny. And therefore, . it Is a great tune and u great afternoon as we are gathered In this little quiet meeting In the 'upper chamber to talk a little while upon that question. "Behold. I set before you life and death.' That Is the question that Is constantly confronting every man, and it Is essentially a man's question. an remember when it was not so inucn a man s question as now. it used ' to be taken for granted that what wt call 'religion' was for women and chl dren and would not do for strong manly men, and we had to swagger around through the world and be profane and smoke cigars In order to demonstrate to the! world that we were -men. Bui ; within SO years a great change has come ever the spirit and dream of this world. I ? believe that Thomas Hughes helped to start the current 'of this by his lit tle book, 'Standing for Christ.' And there was also with that this T. M. C. A. movement, which Mr. Moody called the greatest movement of the nine teenth century, began. If tln nlne- ' teenth century had done nothing ex cept bring into existence this T. M. C A. movement, it would still be one ot the greatest In the history of tne world It has ceased to ' be manly now foi men to hold their religlon.lika the! property,' In their wives' names. It has come now' ho that men can face questions In an open and manly jvay a nX accept Jesus' life as the one bj whom they are to live and model theli lives, and say, 'Let the world wag as 1 will, we ceased to be guided by a false Jii'bMc BentlmenU- Oody has endowed us with the great faculty of reason and we believe in the sweet reasonableness of Jesus Christ, and our reason teaches ua that we should accept him in oui lives. So I am going to talk to you this afternoon on 'the weet reasonable news iof Jesus Christ. This is an ex pression constantly dropping from tht mn; of ;, Matthew Arnold, the jrreatesi writer, possibly, ot the century that ha passed. The speaker then proceeded to de fine sin as "disobedience to Jesus Chitsi -and rebellion against God." n'e told for trouble, so I Just nt still and let them look at me. Then the mlnlstei says: 'All wno tninK tnat they are Christians, but are not members of any Church, : please stand up.' Well that fetched pretty near everybody. There was only an old man, a boy and a lit tie girt and me sitting down. The minister, and the old lady and the daughters glared at me, and bo did everyway around the ringside i mean the, pulpit and 1 confess I felt the nerve cosing out of my finger tips Everybody frowned st me, and, then uk preacher said: 'AH who want to h Christians will please rise,'' Well, thu fetched even the one man, and the Hi tie girl sndi the boy, and mere 1 was eft the only one sitting, down in th .light of all those glaring people. You can Imagine my feelings. 1 felt myseli trying to death in my own blushes. "My collar Wilted and thesweat 8ti.xn', out on me" as if I were an ice pitcher but my -dander was up then and I said to myself that X would stick the thing through.. Well. I Just glured back tin eeet I knew how and said to myself. 'Well, I'm ready for the next bout.' And the next was a crusher for fair. Tnt preacher led from the shoulder and then tippercut. It was a beaut. "He said. Ail who are not Christians but want to be prayed for will please rise.' Well, everybody stared at me and I thought I might play a leading rale la a lynching bee If matters wen m accumulating, but wild horses would aot make me, lose my sand, and I just sat there as if I was screwed to m seat. "They waited about three minutes to see if I wouldn't unscrew, ana then seeing I was dead game, gave it up, fhe preacher said, "Those wno wish to may remain, and you can bet your i n cle Tommy didn't linger. Say, don't you think that was a tough deal.' 1 went into that cnurcn to get some religion and I got It, lr the neck." TRAVELER'S DAY . of the Influence that Christianity wat beginning to have In the world. 'It it now becoming popular to be a Christian. Nobody wants to employ an immoral young man. The men who do things everywhere are the Christian people. The heads of nearly all the large buel ness firms In Charlotte, Atlanta and elsewhere are Christian men. Every member of the Supreme Court of the United States is a Christian. Nearly all the great scientists have been Chris tiana" The epeaker then mentioned the names of a number of great men all ' of whiom were Christians. He spoke for ttbout 40 minutes and con. eluded' with an earnest plea to those present to become Christians. At the loitelustonof the service, a number ex Dressed their desire to lead Christian lives. A "DEAD GAME" IN CHURCH. How the Revival Services Held By Rev. -Dr. A. Cv Barron Affected a k eil-Known Sporting Man -lis p fteuetl in Aew York City Years Ago. Nearly a. score of years ago, when ltev. Dr. A. C. Barron was doing somt revival wwrk in a Baptist church in New York city, he unconsciously calleo lortU a very humorous contribution In Mew Yorit newspaper, which was it. the shape of an Interview with a well . known sporting man who wandered intc tlie church where Dr. Barron was hold ing services.; x From a relative ot the beloved pastor. The" Observer obtained the account and herewith presents it In part, as an ex ample of how a ring-side habitue view ed - a religious service. Dr. . .. Barron laughs at it heartily: "I've refereed over a hundred prise fights and glove contests." said he, "and have been In some tough places, when . a. tough mob didn't like my decision - bliU-savv I don't want anvthluir ttarhtet s ttmn the game I struck in a Baptist church 4n Harlem this morning. t hadn't been Ire church for years, sc when I passed a - big, fine-looking tchurch. all brownstone and brick, with he doors open and the music of the - organ and tbo singing wnlng through. . , I took a sudden notion . and dived .in. : Tbo church was crowded, but a slick . young usher politely hustled - me ) .

Ci Barron Preaclietl a wise and Entertaining Sermon last Mgnt to Traveling Men Only the Black Sheep Caused the Impression That Traveling Men Are .Loose In Their Morals. Yesterday jias "Traveler's Day" at Tryon Street Baptist church and Sun day school. In the afternoon Superin tendent T. S. Franklin had nrruiiKed a special programme of music by the or chestra, solosv etc. Little Miss Grace EMdlns sang a very sweet little souk: Mr. Harvey Overcarsh rendered a solo, and Mr. Don A. Richardson, a charm ing piece on the violin. Mr. John Charles McNeill, who was named as a speaker to the traveling men, at the last mo- nen sent a telegram saying that It was impossible to be present. Mr. C. W. Tillett, on short notice, took his place, and gave a very stirring address, that held the attention of all. He took an his theme "Talk," which he said was the main business of the drummers, and with much Ingenuity and humor, drove home somejpiporta'ot lessons for an, as wen as traveling men. At night the pastor Rev. Dr. A. C. Barron, preached, as previously an nounced, -a sermon to traveling men. He took as his text Daniel 12:4 "Many shall run to and fro and knowledge shall be increased." He said that hf would not claim that this text was writ ten especially for drummers; still it would apply to them, for they were running, to and fro, and helped to in crease knowledge generally. They had much to do with bringing the ends of the earth together, and making us feel that we arecltlxens of the world. He then spoke of some ' of the character istics of the drummers; they are ener getic, enterprising and generally a hap py lot. It used to be thought that drummers were loose In their morals. This is not true of the class, only some black sheep have Injured the good name of ,the business. Some of the noblest business men in the world are drum mers. Some of them are earnest Chris tians at home and "on the road" as well. k The speaker then paused to explain some lessons: First, every traveling man needed to have God with him. He commended to them the opening words of the Bible: "In the beginning God." Let God come into the heart and life- let the hand of Jesus be on the throttle and the train and all it bears are se cure." Traveling men, he said, needed to re member that their Influence, wherever they went was for good or evil. A man with some loathsome disease, like smallpox, had no right to travel up and down and imperil the life and health of others. No more right has a man who is a moral leper to move to and fro, poisoning all he comes In con tact with. Some do this, and fearful will be their Judgment. Others, how ever, are gentlemen abroad as well as at home and their influence is for gooa and they are always welcome In the churches and good seclety. Dr. Barron-then tsid -of the-flangers of travel, and how traveling men need ed to have Christ with them, to guide and protect. Life, at best. Is uncertain: it la especially so of late. It l a brave man that goes on doing his; duty and trusting God. Happy those travelers who have a Christian; home and loved ones to Which they can turn when their Journey ends. Happier still, if "when traveling days are done" they can look forward to the heavenly home. Let graveling men, let all, so live that dying Will not be hard, only closing earth's account ' and entering the , heavenly mansions to enjoy the plaudit, ''Well done, good and faithful servant." , . . ; ' Thomas Hueston, of St. Leuis, defeat ed Frank Sherman, of Washington, In the championship pool ; tournament by a score of 125 to 110.
