Tenth Street Methodist Church.
Dr Werlein announced that he had
received a telegram and letter -from
Rev. Jno. E. Brown, the evangelist, to
the effect that owing to mfsconnection
and previous engagements he could not
arrive in Austin at the time he was
expected. Mr. Brown stated that he
could be in Austin on October the 8th.
but Dr. Werlein, fearing that It would
conflict with the Abe Mulkey meeting
to be held at Twenty-fourth' street
church, thought best to postpone the
revival service at Tenth street church
until he could further communicate
with the evangelist.
Dr. Werlein preached a sermon to
business men oh the "Money Mania."
His text was found in I Timothy, sixth
chapter and tenth verse. it reads, in
part, as follows:
"The love of money is the root of nil
evil; which while some coveted after,
they have erred from the faith, and
pierced themselves through with many
swords."
It must be distinctly understood that
the Apostle Paul is not denouncing bus-
iness pursuits in which people are or-
dinarily engaged and by the legitimate
prosecution of which they may achieve
honorable riches. Indeed, if people
conducted their business affairs with
the Intelligence, Industry, frugality and
foresight which Scriptures inculcate,*
they would more abundantly thrive
than they do. Prosperity is promised
to the rlghteoufl and riches and long
life are often spoken of as the gift of
God: Money honestly acquired and
wisely employed is a blessing to the
individual, the community, the country.
' The Apostle Paul is speaking of the
i love of money. According to the Re-
vised Version the love of money is not
the root of all evil, but a root of all
evil. The world has many evils in it.
They, arc patent to us all. There is a
reason for them. They find their
source in different kinds of sin. Some
think that sensuality in the greatest of
sins. It certainly leas to many differ-
ent kinds of evil. Hatred, prejudice,
pride, {ire flins and lead to great sin".
Anger is a fruitful source of evil: so
I is revenge. But there can be no doubt
that the love of money inspires mure
evil than any other sin with which we
lire acquainted.
Our Lord warned people against the
love of money. The apostle in the
I verse preceding the text says: "They
that will be rich fall into temptation,
and a snare, and into many foolish and
hurtful lusts, which drown men in de-
struction and perdition.” In. Proverbs
it is said: "He that makrth haste to
be rich shall not be innocent or unpun-
; ished. "Notwithstanding these warn-
At the First Congregational church
services were held mornkg and even-
ing. The choir was in full force, as
the vacation, days are rapidly closing,
and the members sang with the new
hope and purpose of the future in their
voices. Mrs. Annie E. Plckrill sang
with great tenderness, and manifest
feeling "On Jordan's Dark and Stormy
Rlvfer»” the full choir joining in the
chorus. The song was set to the musc
of ' Old Folks at Home,” and produced
a profound impression upon the congre-
gallon, voicing, as It does, mo beauti-
fully, the Christian’s longing for the
eternal home-beyond the river of death.
Dr. Briggs announced the entertain-
ment to be given in behalf of the Austin
Humane society at Eighth street hail
Thursday evening, and urged the people
to attend it. He then stated that a
preacher always reserved the right to
hange his subject under the guidance
of the spirit, even after he had entered
the pulpit, and th rt for c. inste nd of
preaching on the subject announcec in
The Statesman, he would talk about
the church which was being built upon
the hill at the corner of Ninth and Col-
orado. He read a lesson voicing the
love and longing of the ancient Jew for
the temple of his wot ship, and spoke of
the Jewish conception of the temple
as the home of God. It was there he
met God. it was this that made the
temple holy. A sacred place. If God
had repudiated the building offer It
was erected, although it was one of the
costifest and most magnificent struc-
tures ever reared on earth. it would
have been useless. A godless temple
is like a soulless body. He urged the
people to remember this, as they erect-
ed their temple, and when at last they
should enter it to worship
“Our Young People and the Church”
the Theme For Morning Servico.
Consldering the hot weather, the au-
dience was very good both morning
and evening. In the morning Dr. Lov-
her preached on “Our Young Heople
and the Church." He especially dwelt
on the Christian Endeavor movement.
There was a movement in the thir-
teenth'century something like the En-
deavor movement in the nineteenth. In
fact, the thirteenth century, in some
respects resembles the nineteenth. It
wu a season of almost universal peace
preceded by one of almost universal
war. The wars of Napoleon, which in-
volved Europe, extended fifteen years
into the nineteenth century. The thir-
teenth century was one of religious
awakening something like the nine-
teenth. The renaissance, a great re-
vival in art and literature, may be
eompared to the great commercial ac-
tivities of the nineteenth century. St.
Francis of Sussici started a movement
in the thirteenth century with a pledge
very much like the pledge of the young
people’s society of Christian Endeavor.
It was then the greatest religious move-
ment since apostolic times. St, Fran-
cis used the elements of strensth in the
Waldensian teaching without
the church. He led the church to great
Christian activity and established the
Franciscan order. The order must re-
ceive great credit for tiding the Chris
tian religion through the rupids of the
renaissance.
The Sunday school movement is an-
other forerunner of the Endeavor
movement. It is scarcely possible to
now estimate its Influence throughout
the world. It is the church at work
in a very important direction. It does
not ignore family training, but there
are many children who would not re-
ceive any religious instruction If R
were not for the important work of the
sunda. S. Milana places the position
of the school teacher above almost tuat
of any other profession. Dr. Channing
claims that it is second, to none,ct
Jupiter gave the prize of immortality
to the se001 teacher when the varlou:
proressions were contendinerordivine
honor, much more will Johovah ,E1M0
the crown of righteousnes to the “lt»-
ful and obedient teacher in the Sunday
school. The Sunday school has cer-
tainly been an important preparaion
for the Endeavor movement. J ne
Young Men's Christian association has
also been another providential move-
ment of a somewhat similar character.
Its growth within a quarter of a cen-
tury has been marvelous. It has not
only aavod thousands of young men,
but its influence in the direction of
Christian union has also been great.
It has done much towards preparing
the way for the Endeavor movement.
"I now call attention to some of the
special characteristics of the Endeavor
movement. It is a lay institution. The
movement of St. Francis was largely
negative. It required the renunciation
of all illgotten gains, abstinence from
aggressive war and the avoidance of
elegant dress and amusements. The
Endeavor movement is more positive in
its character; it is aggressive work
for Christ and the chureh. .The En-
deavor movement Is rttholic inite
spirit. While it is interdenoninational
it can not b kept within denomnina*
tional rules. This is clearly visible
Ju all its great conventions.
"Home have urged, to my mind, some
very unreasonable objections to the
Endeavor society. H l«aa been claimed
that the society encroaches upon the
prerogatives of the church. I can not
see how that can be when it only works
for Christ and the church. It is
claimed by Home that the pledge of the
Endeavor society is sectarian; that It
requires the young people to attend
their own church, while they might
work at other places where they could
do more good. Ido not think that such
persons properly interpret the pledge,
for it leaves all to the conscience of
the individual. We certainly ought to
be able to give a good reason to God
for everything we do. While the great
reformers of the world overturned
many existing Institutions, they evi-
dently felt that they had a reason for
their course that would justify them in
the sight of heaven. Still others object
to thA young people's society of Chris-
tian Endeavor because ladies take
part in the prayermeeings. It should
be remembered that the Endeavor so
clety is a lay institution, and has noth-
ing whatever to do with ordaining any-
body for the ministry. It has nothing
whatever to do with the question of
womans preaching. Its mission is to
work for Christ and the church,.and it
makes no distinction between male
and female. The ladies of the society
take no more part thin the women did
in similar work in the days of Christ
climate is just as good. Fishing
is said to be excellent. We sell
a place in these occupied stalls or
1 rooms, and finding all of them crowded
and no person willing to move out for
them, they drove out through the gate-
way to the animal, sables, and there
’ our Savior was born. This does not
seepn credible, but surely it is true.
The Prince of Peace was born in a
stable! And this because there was no
room for them in the inn.
A recent Sunday, school lecturer told
us how today there is little room in
the town of Bethlehem for Jesus. In
the land of Palestine there are many
fine churches and ecclesiastical trap-
pings. but little room for Christ Him-
self. This is not only true of Palestine,
but in Christian America fashion and
operatic music and social destruction
too often crowd out the Son of God.
There is plenty of room fur these mean-
ingless gew gaws, but no place for
Christ. Many churches of our land,
with imposing buildings, church chimes
and gorgeous ritual have a name to
worship, but they worship not our Lord.
He is crowded out.
How large a place does our Iordoc-
cupy in the business world? There is
plenty time for getting gain and build-
ing great business enterprises, but no
time for Christ. I sometimes wonder
how much Christ is thought of in the
great world of business. But. for the
life and grace of the Son of God men
could not make gain and horde wealth
as they do. Christ gives honesty to
the commercial life. Think of China
and India mid other pagan nations.
Honesty is hardly known there. Our
post system would be impossible in a
pagan country. Yet men give little
thought to this truth. Christ gives
character to th« world and men traffic
successfully only because such is true,
but how little the business world seems
to care for Christ, it too often has
no room for-Him.
Christ is crowded out of our home
life. Plenty room for pleasure, for fash-
ion, for ease, but no room for Christ.
The blessings of home all emanate from
Christ, The Christian Influence is what
gives what good there is to the mod-,
ern home. Love, the priceless gift to
the family, is Christian in Its origin.
The allegiance of husband and wife
comes from Christ. Christ sanctified
the marriage tie and gave duties to the
home, but how little Christ is thought
of in the average home! Family wor-
ship, Christian training, the church-go-
ing habit— all these things are being
neglected. Christ has no place in the
home.
How much does the average individ-
ual think of Christ? The average daily
paper is a splendid index of modern
life. There is plenty room for baseball
news, politics, society gossip and things
like these, but with the exception of an
occasional sermon bolled down to its
last analysts there is 1: ' • room for re-
ligion. The pretext < ■ editor is
that the world does J care for the
tilings religious. A prize light gets the
whole of the front page, but a splendid
sermon is crowded into an obscure cor-
ner. Doesn't the world care for its
Savior? Are wo going mad? Is there
no thought of Him who is over all and
above all? Have we no room for Je-
sus, who has given to us there priceless
gifts? Our nation has forgotten Him,
and we have been punished for it. Our
city has forgotten Him, and we suffer
for it. Our family lias forgotten Him,
and we are in=iroublefor to We have
forgotten 111m, and our souls are in
desert wastes spiritually. Let us look
squarely at our faults and seek to cor-
rect them. Let uh make room for Jesus
hereafter. He will forgive if we repent
and turn to Hirn. There will come a
time when every one shall confess Him.
Some will confess Him ' in humility.
But every knee must bow* and every
tongue, confess that Jesus is Christ to
the glory of God the Father. My last
word to you is: Make room for Jesus
in your business, in your home, in your
individual life, and may the God of
Peace be with you and bless you.

Many of the pastors yesterday in
their supplication and sermons spoke
of the critical condition of Rev. Dr. E.
B. Wright, who is now in Michigan. At
the joint meeting of the Cumberland
and First Presbyterian churches yester-
day morning the pastor, Rev. Wesley
D. Thompson, spoke of the sad condi;
tion of the beloved pastor, and asked
that his family be remembered. Al all
churches the services were unusually
impressive and appropriate. The ser-
mon by Dr. Wei loin was listened to
with marked attention and interest by
the large congregation.
Cumberland Presbyterian Chureh.
There were union services of the First
Presbyterian and the Cumberland Pres*
byterlan churches yesterday at the
Cumberland Presbyterian church. Rev.
Wesley D. Thompson, pastor of the
Cumberland Presbyterlan church,
preached. The speaker requested that
Dr. Edward B, Wright and his family
especially be remembered in the pray-
ers of the people.
The theme for the morning was, “Vis-
ions and Ideals."
■The text w as II Cor. Hi, 18. The speak-
er said in part:
"A great artist was about to paint a
picture that would be an inspiration to
mankind. Hhe shut himself in his stu-
dio and for days he wasin deep study.
If you should have asked him what he
was doing, he would have told you that
he was painting a picture. But not
once had his brush toughed the can-
vas. What was he doing? He was
painting it in his imagination. He was
getting the highest conception of the
work he was wanting to do. Having
this conception, he goes to work to put
his vision on the canvas. I sometimes
think of mankind aS being artists and
of life as being the canvas and our
deeds as being the paintings. If we
want to make the pictures on life's
canvas beautiful then, like the artist,
we must have high ideals. I speak to
young people, and there is not one of
us who does not want to accomplish
great good in life. I wish you would
remember that we are not going to
merely drift into this good. There
must be the high Ideal of good and the
arriving after this ideal, No man
rises Higher than his ideals." The
speaker dwelt on the ideals that should
be cherished, and summed them up by
saying that Christ was the great ideal
of life and by constantly studying His
life we become like Him. Various il-
lustrations were used to show that we
become like our ideals. The pastor
closed his sermon by calling attention
to the epitaph of the great English his-
torian which is. “Here lies John Rich-
ard Green, historian of the English peo-
ple. He died learning," and declared
that man is only truly living when he
is learning and ever reaching upward
and stretching forward.
The evening sermon was an exhor
tat Ion for those w ho had become negli-
gent of their Christian duties to re-
consecrate themsePes to Christ and
begin again.
An invitation has been extended to
the First Presbyterian church to make
the Cumberland church their church
home while the pastor is absent. This
invitation has been accepted by the
First Presbyterian church. So for a
time the two churches will have union
services.
