The highest aim of the individual should be directed toward the accomplishment of something of worth in the world. It must be understood that however much we may do in the world, it is only as a grain of sand in the sight of Providence. There is no time for idleness, but as the little bee that gathers honey from the flowers of the field, we should go forth each day with the determination that while we shall gather, we shall also scatter sunshine. There are always dark corners in the world that need light; there are always people who need words of consolation to lighten their heavy hearts. Let our aim be, each day, to increase the sunshine in the dark corners of the lives of these people by doing "Let's All G TO THE GRAND LODGE AT OMAHA Missouri Pacific which leaves Kansas City at 10 and arrives in Omaha at 7:15 A Modern special coaches w provided for.

DON'T BE LATE. GEORGE BROOMFIELD. Grand High Priest of the Royal Arch Masons of the Missouri Jurisdiction. This has been a big year for Masonry in Missouri. The net increase in membership has been quite significant, gain made by any fraternal order. In material gain the highest point has been the acquisition of real estate. The Grand Master has offered for a four cornerstone lay-away, specially in the acquisition of the same number for other public edifices. Due to the untiring vigilance of the Grand Master lodge treasuries through the jurisdiction have been remarkably strengthened and lodge business systemized as more efficient. Perhaps the greatest satisfaction, however, comes from the universal success of the successful manner in which the burial system has been put into operation. This has been particularly useful for the lodge, having equalized the obligations in all the lodges. It is hoped to make the burial allowance greater the brethren will soon be willing to increase the small amount of dues now paid and the amount of the fees given much better service and satisfaction.

O. SELLERS, Acting Director of Sunday School Course, The Moody Bible Institute) THE KINGDOM TORN ASUNDER. LESSON TEXT-I Kings 12:6-16. GOLDEN TEXT-Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Prov. 15:18. Solomon's kingdom though outwardly magnificent contained within its those germs of oppression, formal religious observances and the lax example of an indulgent monarch which speedily led to its disruption after his death. Forty years Solomon reigned, but the latter end of his life was none too peaceful. "He loved many strange women" and "his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God" (11:1, 4). Rezon was his "adversary" (11:25) and Jeroboam whom he at first sought to conciliate (11:26-28) was finally driven from the land (v. 40). Chapter eleven contains the prophecy of which this lesson is the fulfillment. "And Rehoobam, his son, reigned in his stead" (11:43). I. The Convention at Shechem, vv. 15. This place has an important history beginning in the days of Abraham and Jacob. It was a city of the Levites and the place where Joshua gave his final charge (Josh. 24:1, 25). Abimelech destroyed it though it was soon rebuilt. Here Israel gathered to confirm Solomon's son upon the throne. Jerusalem and Judea readily accepted Rehobom as king, but the ten tribes hesitated and, according to one translation there was a year's delay during which time Jerobom was sent for and certain reforms were formulated (v 2). Their charges were entirely selfish and made no reference to the rights of Jehovah nor offered any protest against the increasing idolatry. Before allegiance was sworn Jerobom as spokesman presented these reforms (v. 4) and Rehobom wisely asked for time to consider the request (v. 5). II. Good Counsel Neglected, vv. 6-12. Rohobam came of bad stock (ch. 14:21), yet his first step was a wise one. His name means "Entranger of the people," but he sadly belied the same. Too long had he lived in the atmosphere of luxury and enervation. The northern tribes suffered greatly through taxation and shared none of the prosperity of Jerusalem. Solomon's "yoke," like that of every earthly monarch, had been heavy (Matt. 11:29, 30). The counsel of the old men was good (v. 7), it was kingly, manly. Jesus tells us that the greatest must be the servant of all and sets us the example himself (Matt. 20:28). Rebohoam next consulted those of his own circle who "were grown up with him," men of like position and passions, youths as inexperienced as himself who had no sympathy but were wild, conceived, overbearing, selfish. Rebohoam asked "advice" (v. 6) of the old men, but asked for "counsel" (v. 9) of the young men, but in neither case is there any suggestion that God was consulted (James 1:5). These young men counseled a boasting and burden-some course which brought Rebohoam to grief. Oppression always results in rebellion, a fact that those who govern or employ others should ponder well. Rebohoam's choice of counselors and his consequent course of action was the height of foolishness (Prov. 13:20). 111. Bad Counsel Confirmed, vv. 12-14. Jeroboam's subsequent career confirms us in believing that he more than all others encouraged and fostered the division of the kingdom. But he and the proud, foolish princess were both only carrying out the word and will of Jehovah (v. 15; Ps. 76:10). This does not, however, jessen his guilt or folly (Acts 2:23). Not content with declaring his acceptance of the evil counsel he spoke "roughly" (v. 13) and this verse suggests to us that "the old men's counsel" was known to the people, thereby aggravating his offense. "Whom God wishes to destroy he first makes mad." Rough words wound or madden and, "by using soft words you may lead an elephant by a hair." Not content to refuse Rehobo threatens added burdens (v. 14). IV. Conclusion. God turned away the kingdom from Solomon's house because Solomon had turned away from God (ch. 11:9-11, 31, 33). A true prophet foretold what would happen, the "cause was from the Lord that he might perform his saying" (v. 15, cf. 11:31, 32). God is constantly and literally fulfilling prophecy. Those which have been so fully and so minutely fulfilled are a warrant that in due time all will likewise "come to pass." Rehoboom is a lesson to the young men of today. Rehoboom is also a lesson for present day fathers. Finally Rehoboom is a lesson to all who are set in authority. To close our ears to the cry of the needy; to forget our obligations to God and to men (Matt. 25), and to fall to see God's purposes, prophecies and plans, inevitably courts disaster. The coming king of kings who in fulfilment of prophecy did come, and will come again, has a yoke for his subjects "which is easy." His finger (v. 10) and hands were used in loving ministries and the only chastisement (v. 11) he ever permits is that which proves us to be "sons," not slaves (Heb. 12:6-11). THE RIGHT KIND "You have to have nerve these days to run a car." "Yes; what you might call motor nerve." A CALUMNY. "They tell me your son needed mentality at school, Mrs. Comeup." "That's a lie. My son didn't need nothin' that money could buy." GARDEN The play grounds of the city has never been finer than at this time.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Mound Bayou, Bolivar county, Miss., is an exclusively Negro town, carved from the virgin forests of hardwood and cane. Isaiah T. Montgomery founded the town_27 years ago. A party of his relatives and friends braved the panther, bear, wolf and other wild animals which infested Bolivar county at that time and labored with him in dragging a surveyor's chain through tanglewood for the town site. In casting their lot at this point the colonists selected what proved the center of the largest cotton producing county in the world. The soil is black loam in the higher parts and sticky, dense black land in the lower parts. The loam pulverizes easily and is almost ideal for cotton raising. It also produces pasture crops. The black land is the famous buckshot, which becomes flinty in summer, cracks and forms itself into clods resembling shot. The population of the town has grown from a small group to 1,000 in the corporate limits and to 7,000 in the settlement. The business has grown with it. There are 23 stores and shops, including two drug stores and a photograph gallery. The business of these stores is considerable and is growing. Each year the merchants are compelled to sell on closer margin, but much of the trade which sought nearby towns on account of greater variety of goods or lower prices made possible by larger stocks or better credit arrangements is pleased to stay at home. The American Express maintains an office there, with a Negro agent, and its business is upward of $500 a month. The railroad station, which is operated by a Negro, is about the ninth or tenth in importance between Vicksburg and Memphis. The commission to the ticket agent amounts to $1,200 a year. There are two licensed physicians, two lawyers and a real estate agent. There are six churches and the value of their property is around $17,000. The weak point is the school. The enrollment is more than 300, while the equipment is inadequate for 50 pupils. The teachers are poorly paid and the term is not more than five months. The Baptist college, which is maintained by a board of Negro women known as the "Woman's Auxiliary," holds forth in a two-story frame building and has some little provisions for boarding pupils! but its funds are very slim. The American Missionary association maintains a normal and industrial institute. The value of its property is about $4,000 and it costs about $2,000 a year. Efforts have been made, but with little success, to erect a small modern dormitory for boys. The fraternal insurance societies are well represented and the treasury department of the Masonic order, which handles about $100,000 a year, is there under the guidance of Charles Banks. The timber industry has been pled since the beginning of the town and still yields a neat revenue in logs, furniture, staves and spokes. Other woods are cut into framing material by the town sawmills. The three gins of the town wrap and tie most of the cotton raised in the community. The crop will yield this season more than 4,000 bales. The Cumberland Telephone company three years ago installed its system there with a Negro as local manager and with a woman assistant. It has 71 phones in operation. When the late Joshua Ellington's heirs came to settle up his estate, they found he had obligated himself to pay $700 for a privilege which would not have been available to Mr. Ellington until he was one hundred and seventeen years old. Moved by speeches of men prominent in church and business life of the South, 300 southern men and women, delegates to the World's Christian Endeavor convention, in session in Chicago, acknowledged brotherhood with the negro race and determined to extend to it the hand of fellowship. Out of this idea is to grow the southern extension committee of the Christian Endeavor, which Rev. Ira Landrith of Nashville, Tenn., calls the beginning of the Interdenominational Union of the Colored People. Doctor Landrith said: "We are going to take the Christian Endeavor into the Negro churches, organize new societies and help millions of blacks to enlightenment. God has placed at our door the greatest opportunity for Christian work that ever came to any missionaries anywhere." "The play is so old," said Buck Killy by yesterday in discussing one of the current attractions, "that the magazines have reviewed it." In the province of Ontario there are, including kindergartens, night schools, high schools, collegiate institutes and continuation classes, 6,942 public schools—all free—the yearly attendance of pupils being 500,000. Having secured the attention of the crowd, a man goes ahead and performs his trick. The exposition to commemorate fifty years' achievements of the free Negro, held at Richmond, Va., was because of the place selected for holding the exposition, of particular interest to the Negroes of the South. But it is something more than an event of local importance, for as a national celebration it is of interest to all Negroes and to all interested in the progress of the Negro race. President Wilson has issued a proclamation in which he says: "As president of the United States I bespeak the active interest of the nation in the exposition and trust that every facility will be extended to the leaders, whose earnest work has made the undertaking possible." Congress has appropriated $55,000 "to aid in the promotion and consummation" of the exposition, thus giving to the event a significance which, under private auspices, it might have had difficulty in commanding. Few are the Negroes who can draw, from personal experience, a comprehensive picture of the progress of the race since it was released from bondage. Since slavery days two generations have been born in freedom, and have accepted freedom as a normal state and nothing to wonder at. To them the statement that in 1860 not more than one Negro in a hundred possessed himself means nothing, for no Negro who did not actually live under slavery can realize that such an institution actually existed in a country founded on the principle that freedom is a right and not a privilege. To these new generations this expedition should mean a great deal. It should fix in their minds a vision of the progress of the race which no amount of imagining could give them, and it should inspire them with a desire to hand down to their children the traditions of slavery in order that they and succeeding generations may appreciate the blessings of liberty. A "whirlwind" membership campaign was outlined for the provisional organization, colored branch of the Young Women's Christian association at indianapolis recently, when 81 members of the branch were present, each of these being made a captain of a team. It was decided to place 100 teams in the field with 500 new members as the objective. Previous to the meeting the city was distracted and each of the teams will be expected to work in a definite section in order that the entire city may be thoroughly canvassed. The need of an association for colored women has never been more apparent than today when the rooming house problem is more serious than at any previous time in the history of the city. The high cost of living has increased the cost of board till it is impossible for the working girl outside of a profession to board and room, thus making cheap rooms desirable. These are usually found in the less desirable sections of the city, and the result is that the moral standard of the girls and women is being lowered. Those who feel the need of a Y. W. C. A. home for the colored women and girls of Indianapolis, whether members of the branch or not, are urged to join in this campaign and do something for it if nothing more than to take out a membership or secure one member. It is up to the Christian people of the colored churches and the clubs organized for uplift work to give their assistance in this effort—Indianapolis News. The so-called death watch, with its due to nothing more serious than the mysterious ticking at night time, is furniture beetle. The larva of this insect burrows into the furniture, making the pin-holes which are often seen in old furniture. Jerry Neal, colored, of Cave Spring, Ga., celebrated his one hundred and twenty-fourth birthday anniversary a few days ago. He is, so far as is known, the oldest person in Georgia, if not in the United States. He has papers which establish his age beyond question, and the oldest inhabitants of Floyd county remember that Jerry was a grown-up man when they were in their kilties. Jerry, the father of forty-four sons and daughters, distinctly remembers the war of 1812, and many of the Indian wars. He is now a widower, but has been married three times. He is well and hearty, but uses a cane when walking. Recent investigations seem to prove that Bahla, Brazil, is the oldest city on the American continent, having been founded in 1549, or 35 years before St. Augustine, Fla. Italian farmhouses need improving, according to the opinion of the government, which has offered $7,585 in premiums to be awarded for encouraging the construction of model farm buildings.

Doctor Ravenel of University of Missouri Warns Mothers Against Giving Children Unclean Cow's Milk. "Too many babies are artificially fed instead of being nursed by their mothers." This statement was made recently by Doctor M. P. Ravenel, professor of bacteriology and preventive medicine at the University of Missouri at Columbia. "The death rate is always greater among bottle-fed babies than in the breast-fed ones," continued Doctor Ravenel. "Cow's milk is perhaps the best substitute for mother's milk, but the necessary precautions should be taken to keep it perfectly clean. Most of the dirt in milk comes from stable manure, which falls into the cans from dirty flanks and the udder during the process of milking. The cow should be curried and her belly and flanks clipped. The udder and belly should be moistened with a damp cloth just before milking and the hands of the milker should be clean. "The second precaution which should be observed is that of cooling the milk as soon as drawn and keeping it cool." "All vessels in which the milk is kept should be thoroughly cleaned. This is best done by rinsing with some alkaline washing powder, then clear water, and finally sterilization by boiling water or steam." GEORGE C. COLE. Past Eminent Commander of Emanuel Commandery No. 25, Kansas City, Mo. --- PROF. T. W. H. WILLIAMS. Kansas City, Mo. BEWARE OF TOO MUCH ICE WATER. Dr. Ravenel of University of Missouri Says Abundance of Cool Water Is Healthful. However. "Beware of drinking too much ice water," said Dr. M. P. Ravenel, professor of bacteriology and preventive medicine at the University of Missouri, when asked about its harmful effects. "There is no objection to drinking an abundance of water which is well cooled," said Dr. Ravenel, "but excessive quantities of ice water are dangerous, especially to old people." Dr. Ravenel said that experiments have shown that the drinking of water in fairly large quantities increase metabolism—in other words, that the processes of digestion and absorption are increased in rapidity rather than impaired by its use, so that there is a firm basis for the belief that drinking water tends to make one fat. "Water is harmful when taken with each mouthful of food," said Dr. Ravenel. "It makes swallowing easier and persons overeat and do not chew properly. It is a much better habit to drink plenty of cool and clean water than to guzzle soft drinks at soda water stands. These drinks often contain a certain amount of fosugar, artificial coloring matter and artificial flavors, which may be dangerous. Babies and children, especially should be supplied with cool water in abundance during the hot season."

C. of Emanuel Commandery No. 25, Kansas City, Mo. Y. M. C. A. NOTES The meeting last Sunday was very fortunate in having Prof. Walton to address its audience. His address was up to his usual high standard and was appreciated by all who heard it. This Sunday Mr. R. M. Wisdom will address the men and will bring to them some of his experiences of the big association summer school which he attended at Lake Geneva, Wis. Blind Boone was one of the many guests that stopped in our building last week. Mr. H. W. Miller, 1621 Norton avenue, left Wednesday for St. Louis and from there will go to the Grand Lodge of Masons at Hannibal, Mo. The boys' camp on the Big Stranger Creek, near Linwood, Kas., will be pitched for days beginning August 16. A limited number of adults may be accommodated in the camp, thus offering an opportunity to some men in the Association to take an inexpensive vacation. Mr. R. M. Wisdom, recently returned from the Y. M. C. A school at Lake Geneva, will be camp director. He is enthusiastic over the opportunities offered the boys for their spiritual, mental and physical development through the camp life. Boys in tending to take advantage of the camp must register at the Y. M. C. A. building. Forty men and boys are swimming and bathing daily at the Y. M. C. A. Are you one of them? The Doctors operated upon the Undertakers Wednesday, August 4, in their first ball game on the Parade Ball Park. The score was 12 to 3. Every one of the Undertakers were buried but Gilmore's feet, which are kicking for another game. [Name] The popular Master of St. Paul Lodge No. 12. TROY, KANSAS.

Secret and religious organizations would do well to make Kansas City their permanent headquarters and convention seats. This cold August weather is only a harbinger of what the winter will be. Quit joy riding now and look after your supply of coal. The man who slings mud at his brother is bound to soil his own hands and the mud besmirches the appearance of the whole race. New York Bull Moosers are falling over each other getting back into the G. O. P. band wagon, yet T. R. says he will stand pat. Why not arrange to get along without T. R.? --- The European war is temporarily overshadowed by the big battles now waging down at the city hall between the Goats and the Rabbits. The Republicans are sawing wood and saying nothing. The Masonic Grand Lodge meeting at Hannibal next week will be the big affair of the year. Indications point to a record breaking attendance of members whose renewed zeal and interest is unparalleled. Those who have been saying that the International Order of Twelve is losing ground in Missouri had their eyes opened by the showing which the order made in convention here last week. The character and size of the attendance together with the quality of work done all united to verify the claims of the most ardent supporters of Tabor. Lincoln Park seems to be falling down on its originally declared intention of employing only colored people in its operation. Several of the concessions are now in the hands of white people and it begins to look as if the situation is to grow worse. It remains to be seen just how much of this our people will stand for. At the beginning of the season quite a number of prominent people of our race were honored by the presentation of season complimentary tickets. The recipients of these favors prized the recognition not so much for its intrinsic value as for the indication of the desire upon the part of the park management to secure desirable cooperation in establishing the reputation and character of the amusement place. Now these passes have been peremptorily recalled and the holders thus unnecessarily insulted. Perhaps the park officials have figured out that in order for the former honored guests to be really happy they will just have to pay to visit the institution. --- Betty & Sam's Little Corner A THEY SAY Tennyson or Longfellow could take a worthless sheet of paper with a poem on it and make it worth $69,000. —That's genius. Rockefeller can write a few lines on a sheet of paper and make it worth $5,000,000. —That's capital. The United States can take an ounce and a quarter of gold, stamp up on it an eagle bird and make it worth $20. —That's money. A mechanic can take material worth $5,00 and make it into watch springs worth $1,000. —That's skill. When you go into a Negro's store and ask for an article temporarily out of stock and go away denouncing race enterprise If we would spend our nickles and dimes among our own race and have a little more confidence, patience and be more loyal to race enterprises, we would be respected, protected and courteously treated by all other races. —That's common sense. Do not believe him who claims to be loyal to his race and falls to pat- ronize race enterprises, for —That's gall.

The day was hot and matters dragged along very slowly until Brother Crews program was reached for an address Grand Orator. Brother Crews was acting in that capacity and, through the oppressive heat, he made one of the most effective and stimulating of people upon such an occasion. Everybody wondered how he could answer is: that he simply possessed the ability of adaptability and practical alertness of mind that is seldom found among homely people was along homely walls and every word reached the intended spot. People stood on sunshine, paddling cotton paused, came out upon their porches to listen to his eloquent words and all away wondering how he could do it. MASONIC BUILDING ASSOCIATION MEMBERS. R. T.

No Outside Man Needed Ever since the regrettable and untimely resignation of Prof. G. N. Grisham from the principalship of the Lincoln High school there has been much speculation as to whom is to be his successor. Not only has there been speculation but jockeying and wire pulling and almost innumerable interviews with the members of the Board of Education and other school authorities. The question now seems to have resolved itself into this proposition: Shall the new principal be a home man or an outside man? The town is divided on this question but it is evident that a vast majority of the Negroes of the city prefer a home man. Those who are clamoring for an outside man are greatly hampered by lack of argument, and they have been unable to convince the public that their motives are totally devoid of personal animosities, and that they are looking solely to the good of the educational interests of the Negroes of Kansas City. No one has had the temerity to suggest that there is no one in Kansas City capable of filling the position. Such an argument would be so palpably absurd as to answer itself. Prof. Grisham, who knows every Negro of conspicuous educational standing in the United States, recently declared publicly that there would be no need to go outside of the city to find a competent man. Those who want an outside man are unable to explain in what way the school would be peculiarly benefitted by having him. Their argument reminds one of the song: "We are here because we are here, that's why we are here." They say in effect: "We want him because we want him, that's why we want him." Do they expect to find a wonder by going outside of Kansas City? Well, they will not find a wonder, because there isn't any. If an outsider is brought in he will be merely an ordinary though possibly well educated Negro, such as we have right here at home. Moreover, those outsiders whose names have been mentioned so far not wonders. They are no more fit than men we have here, and no one of them has set the intellectual world on fire yet. We say this with all due respect to the gentlemen. It is a constitutional mental habit with some people to feel that that which is far away must possess more virtue than anything close at hand. Among the stock criticisms we have been hearing for several years in reference to the high school is that home talent was not sufficiently recognized. Every time the principal would send East or South for a teacher that how would go up. Some of those who are now clamoring loudest for an outsider were bitterest in their criticism of the former principal for not recog- LADIES!

Now that we have an opportunity to give home talent a chance to show what it can do, they yell their heads off for an outsider. Suppose we get this outside man, what chance will home talent have then? What sympathy will he have with the traditions and ideals of this community? Will he not spend the next few years in transporting his friends from back home to Kansas City? Why do we need to invite a foreign colony to come here to educate our children? Are we not capable of educating our own children? Everyone knows that we are. Strange that the same argument is not employed in reference to the other professions that they try to employ in refence to the teaching profession. Suppose the city government should decide to give a position requiring great legal ability and learning to a Negro lawyer. How would it appear for delegations of Negro teachers, doctors and others to begin immediately bombarding the city officials with arguments against appointing any of our local Negro attorneys and insisting that an outside man must be brought in? That would be manifestly unfair to our local lawyers, who are fully the equal of Negro lawyers anywhere. Sometimes ago a department of the city government decided to place a Negro physician at the head of a department of the city hospital. Was there a howl that no local physician was competent and that an outside man ought to be imported? Such a suggestion would have been regarded as absolute nonsense. And there are other physicians connected with the city health department. Are they efficient? Are they discharging their duties with credit and fidelity? Are they not doing fully as well as an outside man would have done? But why should they be any more capable and worthy of advancement in their line than the local candidates for the principalship of the High school—men who have enjoyed the very best educational advantages, who have taught for years, and who are thorough and profound students of educational theory and practice? The crude joke of the whole affair is that while the home talent haters were going around smutting that no local man ought to be appointed, a local man, Prof. Wm. H. Dawley, was right then discharg- SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH. Mr. E. W. Thompson, the president, has introduced a new feature in the B. Y. P.

People who are not used to doing siting not like we sit around holding a pillow. The roll is practiced in our secret bodies is one of the greatest possible infliction. It is also an unnecessary infliction. It is a relic of last century, and it is not like we sit around holding a single redeeming feature.

In loving remembrance of my dear mother, Elizabeth Richardson, who departed this life August 6, 1914. One year ago today, dear mother, you went suddenly away and left us; O dearest mother how I miss you since you left. I am so sad and lonely; your place can never be filled. We cherished and loved you dearly; no more your loving face shall light the gloom of our home while in sorrow. We are alone; we may not miss the flowers killed by the falling frost, but memory closely clings to one whom we have loved and lost, for often from our hearts comes a bitter cry. Why, Oh why, mother, did you die then comes the thought so solemn and deep She is not dead, but only asleep. So sleep on dear mother and take thy rest. God called you home, he knows best. ANNIE E.

What real reason can be given for making any further change? Prof. Dawley is a man of scholarly attainment and a student by nature. He is a man of the most pronounced culture—a culture which is no more veneering, but is a part of his very nature. He is well poised, dignified and courteous. He is a student of pedagogy and he thoroughly understands the spirit and scope of high school work. During the last few years he has been connected with every movement for the good of his race. He is a Pythian, an Odd Fellow, a thirty-third degree Mason, a Christian gentleman and a man of affairs. He has had that kind of experience which broadens a man's vision, by being brought into actual contact and sympathy with men. He possesses that highly socialized character which men like Dr. Suzallo of Columbia university are saying is so necessary in an educational leader. In short, he is in every way an ideal young man for the position. HIGHLAND AVENUE BAPTIST CHURCH This church is now struggling for its life. The church owes a mortgage debt of $2,000 and is advertised to be sold August 14. Rev C. A. Buchanan of Guthrie, Okla., recently called to the pastorate is putting forth every effort to save the church...Last Sunday Rev. Calloway and his people, Rev. Bacote and his people, joined up in a rally to raise money for the mortgage. On Wednesday night Rev. Mosely and his people, and Thursday Rev. Hurse and his people were with them in the fight. All are working together in the attempt to free the building, valued at $12,000 and turn it back to the congregation...Services every Sunday at 11:00 a. m. and 8:00 p. m. We are calling upon everybody to come and help us. You are invited. We thank those who have helped and pray that more will come to our assistance. THOMAS JACKSON. Past Master of Mt. Olive Lodge No. 53 New Discovery About Metals. We have known that some materials are better conductors of electricity than others, and now Professor Kamerlingh-Onnes of Leyden has discovered that at certain very low temperatures many metals which are conductors of electricity lose every trace of resistance to the current and become what he calls "superconductors." The finest wires of tin and lead do not become heated under the highest currents. It is strange that when the critical temperature is lowered even slightly the superconductivity ceases and the metal behaves as at other low temperatures. The annual announcement of peach crop failure serves to heighten the mystery as to where the ever reliable supply of canned peaches comes from. An interesting study of the relation of corpulence to genius would be more convincing if it established a more certain relation between poets and food.

MATTIE MAE BODINE 1121 Woodland Avenue KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI COLORED MAN SCIENTIFIC. Shows Advanced Methods in Dyeing- O. K. Cleaners Now in 1500 Block on 18th. O. K. cleaners have a meaning above the ordinary. It practically means that every garment placed with the firm passes through the best scientific process known in cleaning, dyeing and repairing, finally to come out to the pleased customer for his undeniable O. K. approval. Mr. F. S. Phillips, the thoughtful and1 progressive sponsor of these new ideas in clothes preservation, has proven a wizard in using various dyes. Persons of his cult have sought vainly for a dye that would leave a garment in the same texture as it was before dyeing. Some said it was impossible. Others said it couldn't be done. Mr. Phillips said: "It can be done." Result: "Phillips' non-shrinking compound." What's more, Mr. Phillips has a real U. S. patent on this invention which is guaranteed to protect the natural fabric while its color is being changed. Good! Did you say? Yes, and many of the well known cleaners and dyers of the city think this also, as many of them come to Mr. Phillips for this non-shrinking compound. The O. K. Cleaners have the exclusive merit of doing absolutely all of their actual cleaning and dyeing right within their own establishment. They have always done this, but in their ne plaque, whiich haffords more space, they are installing a real, up-to-date plant with ample machinery for carrying on every department of service. This means that you can place your garments here in the morning and receive them back the same day with renewed, rich and young finish. Mr. Phillips has an original and effective stationary of pressing machines with a new and improved iron. This iron is a colossal affair but so constructed as to be handled with ease and dexterity even by a child. The iron is heated both by steam and gas and hangs over the pressing pad on a stout rod which may be placed in any position. The old sponge method is eliminated by having a lever on the iron. When touched it moistens the garment evenly and beautifully. As deeply in the bushness as her stalwart husband, Mrs Phillips excels in the handling of silks and extra fine garments. Mr. Phillips unhesitatingly gives her first place in this line. Her ability to over come spotting and other delicate difficulties in silks is well known. Visitors will be asked to examine the plant and see everything worked out in detail. The place is now centrally located right in the heart of the business district, at 1518 East 18th street, between the Paseo and Vine streets. Bell phone East 2431. F. S.

It takes him a long time doesnt kill him. It is now out work and has no funds. Will the brethren please help? His dues are not sent to him. It is now sent to him. Then he comes home looking very bad and incites more pity. We have to say that he is grafting. We hate to think it. Yet we think he is a hard luck brother and wonder who wished him upon us.

Did God one day grow angry, And start out to destroy The world which he had builted, As a child might wreck a toy? Did He take an arm of planets, And with His strong right hand Dash them 'gainst the face of earth, and dent and plow the land? Did then these planets bursting, For mthe boulders which we see, These giant crags and mountains— Is there none to answer me? And did He then regret the deed, And through repentent hours Seek to hide the awful scars With trees and grass and flow'res. Else how came here such grandeur Of mountains, rocks and 'trees, That make the soul dumbbounded At Creation's mysteries? Tell me, was God angry, When He stood that day and threw The stones that make the mountains That surround OI Manitau? Or did He know the human soul Would need some sight like this— These dark, majestic summits, That the lowering storm-clouds kiss To make it strong and mighty, In a world that lowly lies, Suggesting strength and beauty. Pointing upward to the skies? Nay, 'twas no odle fancy Of the God of earth and sky, That caused the great upturning And threw the boulders high. But a purpose sure, unfalling, I can see it vague and dim— God raised these mountains as a sign That man might rise and climb to Him! —Roscoe C. Jamison. Manitau, Col. THE NEWSPAPER'S COURAGE.

MASONIC MASONIC Confusion frequently arises over the mistake of receiving into a Masonite blunder, and the mistake is made previously been rejected in another lodge. Of course, no lodge would deliberately commit such a Masonite blunder, and the mistake is made of the investigating committee of the question as has no set form of queries to propose to the appellant. The applicant, too, knowing his qualifications, may be questioned by the committee. He might even declare that the committee did not ask him the question even though the question was being asked by the signed application of the profane to contain a statement that he was legitimate material for the question, and that he was rejected in any other lodge. Then, if facts develop to the conclusion that he had misappropriated the degrees unludely, he could be easily exploited, and which he had misappropriated the degrees unludely. The plan of publishing the names of rejected candidates and kept them in the lodge of such is not practical and has other objections us well, though such is practiced in some jurisdictions. — Herriford.

MASONIC The idea that it is a Masonic crime to urge profanes to seek the beauties of our life is greatly threatened by the fraternity really bound to keep our light from under the mashed to that others be bound to the war. We bound to call the attention of the outside world to the advantages held out by our ancient brotherhood, to the importance of investigating our craftsmouth and urging them to seek its benefits if they can be made visible and the seeker is found worthy. Lodges should not die out simply because they are too conservative to accept the existence. Seek out the best men in your community, to them about its influences, its its influences, its wealth of moral service, then encourage such perseverance, the moment of character and manhood. What are we here for if it is not a Masonic class missionary service? Moss is no Masonic emblem. The beauties of Masonry are as broad as the Earth and as high as the Heavens.
