To an audience of mere than Ave

church last night, Evangelist Mitchell
delivered a red-hot lecture on the
evils of the card table, the dance and
the theaters. For more than an hour
he held his audience spellt'ound as he
depicted the dangers of these social
evils. He insisted that the card games
in the private home were open ave

laid at the aoor of card playing church
members the fall and ruin of many
young men who have become profes

of the Willard-Fulton flghr'were dis

was agreed there was little doubt the
Twin Cities would secure the big bout.
A matter of raising 110.000 to finance
an arena was the only issue today.
Final arrangements are contingent
upon raising the money or securing
the St. Paul baseball park. The latter
is a hopeless quest, as the Association

bring circus seats to accommodate

that statistics proved conclusively that
seventy-live per cenj of the fallen
girls came to their sad condi
tion through the agency of the
dance hall, and that the position
of a man and woman on the dance
floor would not he tolerated by decent
society in any other place, and, fur
thermore, that anything which is ethic
ally wrong off the dance floor is eth
ically wrong on the dance floor.
The song service was an interesting
feature of the service last night. Sev
eral new songs were sung with much
success by the large and enthusiastic
audience. A large delegation of Juniors
delighted the people with their Bongs
and yells. A delegratlon from Ham

people from practically all churches
in the city. These were all heartily
cheered. A number came forward
during the invitation.

"Anything that is ethically wrong
off the dance floor is ethically wrong

"The dance would soon go out of

"A man does not want to dance
with his own wife he would rather
shuck corn all night. No, he prefers
to dance with the other fellow's
wife."
"There is no difference, morally, be
tween winning a plate that cost $1 at
a fashionable card party and winning
one dollar in the back end of a sa
loon."
"People who get soundly converted
never want to dance or play cards
they havg more pleasant and useful

You may have your opinion regard
ing the merits or demerits of the pres
ent European controversy, and you
may be a lover of peace and a pacifist,
or you may oe rabidly militant, but
the fact remains that whatever our
personal feelings may be we must sup
port the government in its course of
procedure as authorized by the 'ma
jority. Many pacifists cannot see this
idea, but Wallace Reid, as a pacifist
leader in "The Thing We Love," finally
comes to this conclusion. Hew this is
brought about is best explained by see
