FINE RESPONSE BY MEN AND WOMEN Strong Appeal in Sermon By Blackburn Three Meetings Set for Today With the audience that filled the First Methodist church deeply moved by the appeal made by the speaker of the evening, Henry Blackburn of Bartow, the most successful service yet held in the young people's revival took place last night. The response made at the close of the meeting by nearly a hundred men and women, young and old.

was impressive and encouraging in the extreme to the group of ministerial students of Emory University, Atlanta, and local leaders in charge of the meetings. Special music last night included a duet, "In Jesus." by J. Foster Barnes and W. O. Stubbs, and a solo, "I Would Be Like Jesus." by Mr.

Barnes. This meeting was especially for business girls and there were a laree number of them in the congregation. Mr. Blackburn's text was II Tim. ii.3.

"Now therefore endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ." "Why is it that strong, red-blooded, manly young men are not universally attracted by Jesus Christ?" he asked. "His life appeals to all that is manly because it calls for sacii fice. endurance, courage. The reason may be because we as professional Christians have painted such an unattractive, false picture of Christ's life that young people have not been attracted by it." His first point was that the good, soldier must know the principles for which he is fighting, the principles must be right, and he must keen them ever bofer him. "We are fighting for that for which Christ died, that all men may know that we live under a canpoy of love as broad as the sky, and we are fighting for that which Christ founded the church, that the separating walls and partitions may be broken down and the sundered peoples of the world brought together into one great communion of His grace." The good soldier must be armed armed with the Holy Scripture and with prayer, the greatest force in the world and the least developed, continued Mr.

Blackburn. The good soldier must love the cause for which he is fighting better than life itself, was another point. Mr. Blackburn, who was himself in the service during the war, used some illustrations from the battlefields of France. Another example was that of the martyr Stephen who was stoned to death.

Illustratine the fact that the good soldier must be courageous when alone as well as when with a company, he spoke of the American fighting on the French front in the darkness of nirht, when each man was unable to see the one next to him. and he snoke of the life of Christ, brave even when alone. In response to his concluding query. "What kind of a soldier are you? Are you a slacker in the cause of Christ?" several score of men and women came forward in evidence of their sunport. of the cause.

Blake of Tampa, another of the Emory men, spoke to business men at the noon meeting at the Y. M. C. A. yesterday.

Mr. Barnes "Have Thine Own Way." At the Y. W. C. Miss Alice Crone addressed a frathering of women.

Members of the local club will begin at once to investigate conditions in these cities with reference to the organization of clubs. President T. M.

Mr. Harris has left the city and will make his home in Birmingham for the present. He will retain his membership in the local club for the present, President Shackleford said.

Eugene Knight, chairman of the finance committee, reported that the club is not at present in financial condition to comply with the request of the local Red Cross that it assist in purchasing automobiles for the use of the district nurses' association.

B. Braselton, second cook, and J. H. Emmons, chief cook, also Tampa men. Young Hill gives a very clear and interesting description of the wrecking of the steamer, which was bound from New Orleans and Mobile to Antwerp.

Belgium, with a mixed cargo of lumber and grain. "I had gone to bed at about ten minutes to midnight, and was just falling asleep when the ship strucic the rocks. The force of the concussion threw me from the upper berth, where I was sleeping, to the floor and 1 jumped up and rushed to the deck. Smoke was pouring from the engine room and filling the cabin. The fore peak was already filled with water and the holds also rapidly filling up from the first holes that were torn in the bottom of the vessel by the collision with the ledge.

"The radio operator sent out calls to Halifax, which was only eighteen miles distant, and by 2 o'clock in the morning several tugs were standing by. In the morning the weather roughened up and the tugs were unable to get close enough to the ship to take us off. It was not until 1 o'clock in the afternoon that, the weather slackening up, we launched the life bats and left the ship. At 2 o'clock Captain Rossi left the ship with the balance of the crew. Hundreds of small fishing dories, like buzzards over a carcass, were clustered around the ship, waiting for the crew to leave, so.

811 Zack street, is lying seriously wounded, perhaps fatally, in Gordon Keller hospital, from two knife wounds, said to have been inflicted by her husband. Jack J. Stephens, yesterday afternoon r.bout 3 Deputy Sheriff W. F. Hill, who was passing the house a few moments after the stabbing, arrested Stephens, who was struggling with his son.

Clifford, for possession of the knife, a long-bladed, deerfoot dirk, on the front porch, beside the prone figure of the wounded woman. Stephens was lodged in the county jail, and, according to the sheriff's office, will be held there without bond pending the outcome of his wife's injuries. According to Clifford Stephens, the murder of his mother had been contemplated by his father for several years. His father's actions Tuesday, according to the son, shows that the attack against Mrs. Stephens yesterday was.

the culmination of a series of attempts to take her life, all of which had been forestalled and prevented by prompt action on the part of him and his brother, W. H. Stephens. Tuesday night, according to Clifford Stephens, his father threatened his mother with a pistol, the weapon being taken from the man and hidden by Clifford. The elder Stephens is said to have then secured a repeating shotgun and menaced his wife with it.

This weapon, also, was taken away and hidden bv his son. it is said, the elder Stephens then resorting to the last weapon a 12-gauge shotgun, which, after a short struggle, was taken from him and unloaded bv the son. Many Threats to Kill Mother "My father has been threatenirg to kill my mother ever since I can remember," Clifford Stephens stated yesterday to a Tribune man, "and I. and my brother, Bill, have stopped him a number of times. Tuesday night, after his attempts to take her life with the shotguns had failed, he told me that he wanted a blank check to write a check on a due note, as he said he would be 'nervous I suspected then that he would make some further attempt on her life, and it is clear that he meant to do something today that would perhaps put him where he wouldn't be able to write a check.

"This morning he went downtown with me in my car. saying that he wanted to buy some clothes, but as soon as he got out of the car he disappeared. He returned to the house later in the morning and remained Quiet until this afternoon, when at about 3 o'clock, he went in the parlor, and, arming himself with a deerfoot Knife, with a blade about six inches long, went out on the iwrch where mother was sitting talking with Mrs. Beuhih Bryant, who lives on Flori-brafka avenue, and, without saying a word, according to grandmother and Mrs. Bryant, stabbed her twice, once in the breast, about four inches deep, and once in the side.

I heard mother's screams, in the back of the house, where I was working on lny garage, and running to tha front of the house throw my father down and got the knife away from him. Deputy Sheriff Hill happened to be passing at the time, and seeing me struggling with my father on the front porch, jumped out of- his car and arrested my father and took him away. My mother was Dieeciing a great deal and I called an ambulance as soon as I could reach the telephone. Had Been Drinkina "My father has never had any reason, and has never given any, for seeking to kill my mother. He has attempted it.

though, for the past twenty-five years, without success. He has been drinking moonshine for a number of years, and I suppose that this made him attempt to take her life yesterday." The elder Stephens has been resident of Tampa for thirty or more years, having served for a considerable period as marshal of Fort Brooke when that section of the city was a separate municipality. Garbage Incinerator Working Overtime in Campaign of Cleanup 1- The city garbage incinerator is now working day and night burning nost of the garbage, says City Manager A. VV. D.

Hall. The incinerator was put in repair not long ago. What garbage cannot be burned there is hauled out Twenty-second street and dumped, where there are no houses near. The grounds around the incinerator are being cleaned up, too. What was once a junk pile looks more like a garden, and the manager states that flowers grow, where formerly was only rubbish.

The business of enforcing the -weed-cutting ordinance is being conducted systematically. City Manager Hall has a man with a bicycle engaged in a sightseeing tcur of Tampa, checking up all lots which need cleaning. Returning to the city hall, he will look up the names of the owners, who are soon to receive a gentle hint from the city tha the ordinance requires undesirable vegetable growth and rubbish removed. If the owners fail to comply, the city will do the work itself and collect from the owners the cost of cleaning and cost of finding out what needs to be cleaned. The first day's inspection trip was made in the Hyde Park section and the man on the bicycle returned with thirty-five pages of notes.

The city now- has one mowing machine and some city prisoners at work cleaning the town, and another mowing machine may be added.
