The plan of pictures is ideal; many of the great golden truths, the corner stones of Christianity form both the Old and New Testament, are put in beautiful pictures, hence the eye assists the mind to indelibly impress upon the heart. Every book that will help upon the memories of the young the truths of the best book, ought to be pitted by all; and we believe that turning over the page of this volume will lead many of the youth and middle age to treasure up in their hearts any a precious Bible text. The young of our day know less about the Bible than did their fathers. Many, even graduates from our high schools and academies, are unable to say whether Jude is found in the Old or the New Testament. These striking passages and beautiful parables, put in the fascinating garb of artistic pictures puzzles, will constrain the youth to solve them, and hence he must consult the Bible and unconsciously become familiar with many beautiful passages passages and at the same time learn where to find any book of the Bible. I write this with the hope to stimulate our young friends to read and love the best of all books—the Bible. The best children in the world have been those who loved this book more than any other, and some of the best men and women who have ever lived were those who, when they were quite young and not able to speak properly used to talk about it by day after the ano even dream of it by night.

CE HOSPITAL TO ECLIFSE THE SPLENDID SAIN TARIUM AT TUSKL- GEE, ALA. DURHAM N. C. — To perpetuate the spirit and service character of the typical Negro of slave days, James B. and Benjamin N. Duke, millionaire tobacco manufacturers of New York. Durham, have plunged $40,000 toward the erection of the centric colored hospital in the southern states. George W. Worts and John Hill, Durham solicitor, argument of $6,000. The building when built equipped, will represent an expenditure of $50,000. The deed for the four-acre site was made today the D. rhm Lcarn and Trust Compan, seling the plat for $8 500. The location is just one hundred yards from the corporate limits of the city on the Fayet eville street, the lot being formerly the home of the late A. H Stokes, one of the builders of Durham. Overtowering oaks, beautiful drives and grounds well sodded to grass are environments for an ideal hospital. The structure will be two story and fireproof, with accommodation for sixty beds. Dr A M Moore of the Lincoln hospitie stated today that it would outdistance the chief hospital of the colored face in the South—the Tuskegee. The operating and surgical departments will be modern in pointments. The Duke's have contributed since 1901 $25 000 toward the enlargement of the present modest inadequate Negro hospital They were the chief contributors to its its cost of erection Dignam tells us "There are many risks in business.

Never be fearful of doing more than is required of you. If you wait for more pay before you do more work the millennium will probably find you on the same old job. Remember that an agitator never yet filled a pay envelope, although he has helped to keep many a one unfiled. It takes three forces to run a business or factory—labor, capital and executive management. Men who betray their country are not the only traitors. There are also men who betray their employers, their families and their friends. Safety first—Industrial patriotism always. Industry is of the people, by the people, for the people. Let us all get together. The average reformer is only opposed to capital so long as the other fellow has it. Let him get a slice of the melon he condemned and his radicalism will be cured for all times. Success In Industry: Of 260,000 corporations in the United States engaged in manufacturing and mercantile business over 100,000, according to the Federal Trade Commission, are merely existing. They do not earn a penny of profit. The 22,000 failures annually in the United States show that businesses cannot run along at a loss indefinitely. Business success depends on good management; efficient loyal workers, from the head of the firm down to the messengers; and freedom from outside interference. Where Do You Stand? Someone has divided mankind into four classes—those who consistently do less than is expected of them; those who do what is expected of them but no more; those who do things without having to be told, and finally, those who have the magnetic power of inspiring others to do things. All the failures in this world are recruited from the first class. The second class comprises those who scrupe along in some form of drudgery or backwork. Men of the third class are always in great demand in the factory and in the office, but the fourth class represents the highest rung in the ladder of success. In the world of industry the fourth class is attained by the diligent few who have caught the spirit of their task and are able to impart it to the men under them. They are the men who, without being slave drivers, are able to increase the output of an industrial plant. —Industrial Conservation N.Y. --- ETTE copy Five Cents PROMOTING THE HAPPY FAMILY PLAN IN AMERICAN INDUSTRY PLAN IN INDUSTRY How One Corporation Works In Harmony With Its Mon. AN INDUSTRIAL DEMOCRACY All Grievances Presented by Men Through Representatives Reach Head of Company and Are Honestly Investigated. For more than a year a large and progressive industrial corporation with plants scattered over a large territory in several states of the southwest has been improving its relations with its employees through the medium of a so-called industrial representation plan—an industrial constitution drawn on a basis of democracy and mutual confidence between the head of the company and the workmen who number from 10,000 to 12,000. To deal with the diverse interests of such a vast body of men is a serious task involving stern responsibilities. Nevertheless the company, through its representation plan, has not only carried on social and industrial betterment work on a comprehensive scale but has succeeded in settling all grievances without friction and without interference from the outside. During the year several increases in pay have been made upon the initiative of the company. Allogether the plan has demonstrated itself to an important forward step in the establishment of amicable relations between all the factors in industry. A more widespread adoption of such schemes in plants and factories is heartily recommended by the broad-minded manufacturers of the country who have started the National Industrial Conservation Movement for the purpose of getting employers and employees together. The supporters of the conservation movement realize that the captain of industry and the workingman must fight shoulder to shoulder to protect American industry against conditions that are sure to prevail after the War. Warkera Elect Representatives The Industrial Representation plan was adopted in its present form by the directors of the company and by a referendum vote of the workmen. By secret ballot the workmen in the company's various plants select representatives who act as their authorized agents in all matters pertaining to employment, living and working conditions, the adjustment of differences, and other matters of mutual concern and interest. On the other hand, the president keeps in direct touch with the workmen through officers known as presidents industrial representatives. Employees have been made to understand that they are absolutely free to present all their grievances even though they involve charges against the foremen or superintendents under whom they work. Through the workmen's representatives the complaints are referred to the presidents' industrial representatives, who in turn investigate them carefully and report their findings in detail to the president. In every case the grievances have been investigated fearlessly and impartially and adjustments have been made on a strict basis of fairness, irrespective of whether the award was in favor of the workman or the company official. The workman, dissatisfied with the decision of the presidents' industrial representatives, can appeal to the higher officers of the company in consecutive order up to the president. Then, if he still feels that he has not received full justice, he can carry his case to the joint committee on industrial Cooperation and conciliation, comprised of both employees, representatives and the company's representations, and finally to the State industrial Commission. Confer on Wage Increases. Under the industrial constitution drawn up matters of wages, hours of service and other vital factors in the company's relations with its employees are settled by a written contract. Increases in wages are worked out in conference between company officials and the workmen's representatives. In all matters of industrial betterment the employees' representatives play an important part. They are assigned to joint committees on which they serve with representatives of the company. The names of these committees—Safety and Accidents, Sanitation, Health and Housing, and Recreation and Education—give an adequate idea of the broad scope of the company's interest in its employees. To carry out the schemes enforced by the committees the company has spent WHERE UNCLE $AM’S FUTURE : ADMIRALS ARE TRAINING ee ies a £ (ies se ca ee ; | yee os ‘ia oe “B. | oie > ht AS poe — ee eet ae aay p ae we 2 ts | Sie te: 2 ee a A forse meni i ei rd e me re we ; : ON : Mat cee é i suey tia ety er pee a = ee Ee ll " apt Bache ect i oe ae | oy Cres ae Smee | ee a ca ees 4 feo oe sy oy e a: satis Tags tar ete ciel + (aes /] eee See | aa ih 2 pe é 4 f- a L ai et \ te Vere "CO Ae pi ‘4 alll S (QFFICERS OF ACADEMY, HEADED BY SEC.

Fritz in the lowa Homestead, At first dairy cows are stall fed, while beef cattle ave mostly fed in a lot out of a feed bunk, You read many “methods of feeding—so many pounds of ensilage, so many pounds of bay and corn stover. This is all right, but who has a herd of milk cows that wilt eat alike of one feed? Some cows like more silage than others, while others leaye the silage and wait for clover hay and corn stover or let the silage be doped with the grain ration before they start to eat My experience Is not to get the idea that exch cow must eat @ certain num ber of pounds of ensilage and it she dogsn't there Is something the matter with her, ‘The better way is to.wateh which cow eats readily and give her an extra tip. Also wateh the cow that waits for the grain ration, for she has Just @s good an appetite as the one that eats readily, but she has been overfed and doesn’t like the taste, Feed her lightly until she is back on feed again. If she doesn't consume a larger amount don't feed any more than what is cleaned up, and leave her looking for more, She really doesn't want any more, but bas a craving for it, and if given more will just nose around in :t and let it alone. ‘This cow needs to de fed a little heavier grain ration than the other and will respond to the milk pail if given Don't feed too much ensilage—that is, so much thut they let it He or re f'se to eit anything else. Make them clean it up. It is easier for you to let the cow clean out the feed box than to do it yourself after she has bad as much as she wants, Such a method 18 very wasteful, Don't feed too little—that is more unprofitable than the other way. BREEDING FOR EGGS. Select Cockerels That Are Always Ready to Fight, Says English Expert. ‘The best cockerels for breeding lay- ers are the ones that fight without provocation, says ‘Tom Barron, the noted English poultry breeder, It takes physical strength for a hen weighing but four pounds to produce « two ounce egg a day for 200 or 225 days a year. He alxo wil tell.you that the source of strength for this tremen- dous task Iles Iu the fighting cockerel, with which the mother of the ben I mated. The mother furnishes the habit aud the father the stamina. The com- Dination furnishes double the amonnt of eggs In twelve months that come from the ordinary hit or miss method, Such fine physical power ix an ubso- lute essential, again, when an attempt is made to push egg production to un- usual limits, It takes superior endur- ance for a hen to lay eggs more than 200, days a year. The fighting cockerel again furnishes the power of endnr- ance demanded. ‘The breeder of laying hens is well on the way to exceptional success, according to Barron, when be fs raising fighting corkereis from exis laid by big egg producing hens and breeding these cockerels with bens from an entirely different strain of heavy egg producers Deen the Aibiiie tenes, “Two-thirds of the feeding value of the alfalfa plant is the leaves,” says a writer iu the Farm aud Fireside, “If the leaves are lost in curing only one- third of the feeding value remains. ‘This makes it important that alfalfa hay be cured so as to save the leaves. ‘This means that the alfalfa must be raked into windrows before the leaves dry or they will fall off. The alfaifa should be raked into windrows an hour or two after deing cut.

The Feeding and Management of Yeung Dairy Steck. (Prepared by United States department of agriculture} It is common practice among dairy- men to feed skimmilk until the calf is approximately six months of age, says farmers’ bulletin 777, Usually the time of weaning depends upon the avail- ability and cost o¢ the milk. When milk is fed in abundanee it furnishes the greater part of the pro- tein necessary for the growth of the animal.

Some men and women possess it in a marvelous degree. They make friends without effort. But, although comparatively few are thus gifted, it is possible for every one to develop the power in greater or less degree. The chief ornament of a home after the spirit of faith and the spirit of love among its inmates are the friends who frequent it. Make friends. Make friends of the noble and the good. Make friends of those whose friendship will raise you in manhood, nobility, kindness, service and good will. Make friends of men of principle, of piety, of virtue character, and from them draw some of the strong qualities that have won your admiration. Make friends of the right sort and be rich.

It is not the quantity of food, but the kinds of food eaten that fatten. This should be remembered when dieting to reduce flesh. "Semstarvation" as a means of reducing is not only weakening, but positively dangerous. The following diet list for the reduction of flesh is governed by common sense: Foods permitted are clams, oysters, lobsters. Soups without flour or fat thickening. Lean meats diam, pork and liver exceeded. Fish-fresh, salt or smoked, of any kind, but cooked without fat or butter. Eggs in any style. Chicken, duck, turkey, game. Vegetables—squash, string beans, carrots, tomatoes, turnips, cabbage, peas, onions, asparagus, cannflower, celery, salads, watercress, pickles of all kinds. Gluten breed.

Obscured Openings The trunk buttons and buttonholes that for the last two seasons have announced to the world at large just how our blouses and frocks "old up" are things of the past.

Not that they are especially tight, but there is no suggestion to a casual observer of an opening. SWEET CORN $1.00 PER EAR BEANS $1.00 PER QUART ONIONS $3.00 PER PINT —St. Paul Pioneer Press. SOMETHING for the BOYS and GIRLS ULTRA MILLINERY. This season seems to have brought with it two very different and distinct styles of hats, one in the usual colors and the other a strong Chinese note which dominates everything and produces most weird but wonderful effects. In the first class there is a hat somewhat small in shape, with round, high crown and narrow brim turned down. This hat is entirely of soft peach colored crape. Directly in the front are two round, flat ornaments meant to represent flowers. One is of crape and the other of satin. Both are pink, but one is slightly deeper in color than the satin one. On either side of the flowers are leaves made of twisted loops of pane velvet, held in place with tiny invisible stitches. It is a very sweet and dainty bat and hat which any home milliner can copy, for the flat flowers are made exactly like flat cardboard pincushions covered with satin or velvet, only it would be better to substitute buckram for cardboard. After the circles are covered with the material buttonhole stitch around the edge with heavy silk of the same color, the stitches make a quarter of an inch long and the same distance apart. The wonderful silks are used to trim these hats are often dull in color, with here and there a truly oriental design embroidered or printed in the most blazing colors. A hat will have a crown covered with silk as described and a plain upper brim and the under brim of some soft color near the face and an all over silk pattern near the edge, three entirely different materials different in texture, design and color—on one hat, yet in perfect harmony of color. The conservative woman may not look upon these hats with favor, but sooner or later, being a woman, she will succumb to the charm of these wonderful oriental effects, which are chiefly Chinese in character. Tassels still demand attention, even on hats. A bat of dull blue straw trimmed with black silk, with here and there a blue, green and gold motif, had a long tassel extending from the center of the crown down over the brim. This tassel was fastened to an odd cord affair partly made of ribbon and partly of straw. It started from the center of a stiff little upright rattle of black ribbon on the crown, and near the end where the black and gold tassel was attached was an odd tricolored carved bead. GUESSING FLOWERS. A Game In Which a Pad and Pencil Are Brought Into Play. Slips of paper are handed about to each guest with pencils. Then the leader, standing in the center of the room, reads from a pad prepared for the purpose charades like the following: My first is as sharp as needles; my second as soft as down. The answer, thistledown, is written by as many as can guess it in the limit of time given, which should not be over three minutes. This is followed by similar suggestions, such as: My first is made of a dairy, but seldom served in my second. Answer—Buttercup. My first wears my second on his head. Coxcomb. My first dislikes to do my second when he is called in the morning. Johnny-jump-up. My first is shy and cannot wear my second. Foxglove. My first makes candy desirable; my second is an emperor. Sweet William. My first is a weapon; my second where money is made. Spearmint. My first is like a beggar's coat; my second a red breasted bird. Ragged robin. My first we all like to eat; my second is a cluster. Candytuff. My first you do when you wed; my second is a yellow metal. Marigold. second is a yellow metal. Marygold. Many more may be thought of, and it would be better to prepare the list beforehand. The object is to be the first to think of the proper flower.

The Sunday School Lesson Came Alone Through Submarine Zone Text of the lesson, John xv, 26; xvi, 14. Memory verses, 12, 13. Golden Text, John xiv, 26. Our special topic for today is the work of the Holy Spirit, a full study of which would take us, even if we only noticed the references to Himself, from Gen. i, 2, to Rev. xxii, 17. As in Gen. i and ii, all the work was accomplished by the Spirit of God and the Word of God, for the Spirit moved, and God said, "So it has been ever since and in everything." Our Lord Himself said, "The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life" (John vi, 63). At Pentecost the same Holy Spirit who had been working all through the Old Testament period came in a special way and to bear a testimony to a crucified, risen and ascended Christ, a thing He never could have done before, and to gather from all nations a bride for Him. His body, the church, which, being completed and caught up to meet Him in the air (1 Thess. iv, 16-18; 1 Cor. xv, 51, 52), the same Holy Spirit will continue to work according to the time purpose of the Father in the Son, through the great tribulation on the thousands years and on the New Earth, when God shall be all in all. How wonderful to be indwelt by such a person and to be permitted to let Him have the right of way and full control in his life that God may be glorified! In xiv, 16, 17, our Lord called Him another Comforter, one who would be to all believers all that Christ had been to His disciples while personally present with them, and He said that He would dwell in us and never leave us. In xiv, 26. He said that the Comforter would be our teacher and remembrancer, so that, however poor a memory one may have, a believer can always, at least in the things of God, count upon his friend the Comforter. According to I John ii, 27, the anointing which we have received abelth in us, and we need not that any man teach us. In xv, 16. He is again called the Spirit of Truth as well as the Comforter, and our Lord said, "He shall testify of Me," and we also shall bear witness. One of the evidences that the Spirit is having His own way in us is that we love to honor Christ and speak of Him, for "to Him give all the prophets witness," and concerning Him Peter and John said, "We cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard" (Acts iv, 20; x, 43). In our lesson chapter xv1, 7:15, our Lord said that it was better that He should go and the Spirit come for His special work to convince the world of sin and of righteousness and of judgment. Be careful not to confuse this. HIS country called him, and Joan Ediss' father saw his duty and offered to "do his bit" for England. But his little daughter Joan—what was to become of her? This difficulty, however, was soon settled. Joan was a born actress, and what was more natural than that she should earn her own way in the movies while her father was at war? An engagement in America was obtained for her. She left her home in Croydon and, alone, sailed on a ship through the U boat danger zone with only a tag on her to show where she was bound. She says she isn't afraid of submarines. Joan likes to act as a boy in the pictures. "THE TRADES." Here's a Chance to Play You Are a Shoemaker or Carpenter. A jolly little game for children is called "the trades" and is played in the following manner: Each participant chooses a trade, which he exercises in according to the style of the trade. The shoemaker mends shoes, the carpenter saws boards, the painter paints a portrait, the laundress washes linen in a tub, the cook stirs a cake, the locksmith hammers a lock and the spinner turns a wheel. One of the party is chosen as leader. Then all get into a circle, either sitting or standing, and begin exercising according to their individual vocations. When the leader tires of his or her trade he or she quickly takes up that of the boy or girl seated to the right, and instantly all leave off their own trade and begin imitating the movements of the right hand neighbor. This throws the leadership to the player seated at the original leader's left, who takes up the trade abandoned by the first leader. If one of the players makes a mistake he must pay a forfeit. Siamese Tricks. A common trick on a holiday among the children of Siam is to catch one another, blacken one another's faces and then shove the least strong into the river. As they wear little clothing and the climate is hot they do not mind the bath at all. It is also the privilege of the children to throw water over their parents and grandparents and then to sprinkle them with perfume and sweet smelling powder. And they usually give some small gift by way of compensation. The Bee Family There are said to be 4,500 species of bees, and in a well stocked hive there are from 15,000 to 20,000 working bees. If you don't believe it, count 'em. saying with Aets xxiv, 25, as many do. Note our Lord's comment on this threefold work of the Spirit, that the great sin was unbelief, the great need righteousness, because of His finished work, and that the sure consummation would be the final overthrow of the prince of this world, the devil, who is already a judged and sentenced one waiting the execution of the sentence (Matt. xxv, 41; Rev. xx, 10). The Spirit will also tell us things as we are able to receive them. Concerning verse 12 Paul also said, "I have fed you with milk and not with meat, for hitherto ye were not able to bear it," and then he gave a reason why I (Cor. iii, 1-4). How we should desire to be able to receive all that the Lord would like to tell us and not be so preoccupied with other thoughts as to hinder Him! He will guide us into all truth and show us things to come, for he wrote the whole book from beginning to end, and He only can interpret His own writings. Verses 14, 15, make us think of Abraham's servant telling of the father's only son, to whom he gave all that he had and for whom the servant was seeking a wife, carrying with him samples of the father's wealth (Gen. xxiv, 10, 34-28). The whole of this age is but a little while comparatively (xiv, 19; xvi, 16-22) and the sufferings of verse 33 of our lesson chapter are said to be but for a moment compared with the exceeding and eternal weight of glory (II Cor. iv, 17, 18). A thousand years are in His sight but as yesterday when it is past and as a watch in the night (Iis, xc, 4). The woman and child of verse 12 take us back to Isa. (xvi, 7, 8) and onward to Rev. xii and the time of His coming again for Israel's new birth. Until then those who stand with Him and for Him must expect the treatment of xv. 18-21; xvi, 14-33. But it will be well worth while, for all sorrow shall be turned into joy. In Him we may always have peace, and the assurance to the overcomer should lift us above all present things (verses 20-33; Rev. iii, 21). His "Be of good cheer," the fourth while in His mortal body (Matt. ix, 2-22; xiv, 27), should lead us to consider His own wonderful peace and joy of which He spoke on that last night as He drew near to Gethsemane and Calvary (xiv, 27; xv, 1). Note also that His first "Be of good cheer" was in connection with the forgiveness of sins, for without this we cannot be of good cheer. His second referred to a healed body, for forgiveness makes us sure of a glorified body in due time. His third covered all present perplexing circumstances, and this last was to sustain in real tribulation. Joan Ediss. This is an amusing parlor game, or it may be played out of doors. Chairs are placed in a circle or in two lines facing about seven or eight feet apart. The players are all numbered from one up. If there are boys and girls in the game the boys have the odd and the girls the even numbers. One player stands in the center blindfolded and calls out two numbers, an odd and an even. The players numbered must try to change seats without being caught by the "it." If one is caught he becomes "it." Occasionally the "it" calls out "Boston" and then every player must change with some other. "When it" calls numbers he tries to catch one of the players changing, but when he calls "Boston" he tries to get a seat. A Simple Trick. The man who cut one hole in his door for the cat and another for the kitten would find it difficult to pass a nickel, through a hole the size of a dime cut in a stout piece of paper. This explains how easily it can be done: Fold the paper across the center of the hole, place the nickel in the fold and bend the lower corners of the paper upward. This elongates the opening, and the coin falls through. By MORGAN J. SATTERLEE BERTHA BISHOFF said goodbye to her lover, Lieutenant Gustav Schlotter, who was about to leave her to take command of his submarine, the U-94 of the German imperial navy. There is no more dangerous service in the world than sailing under the sea, and there is nothing more appalling than being smothered on the bottom of the ocean. Bertha clung to her lover, and when he disengaged himself from her, encouraging her that he would soon see her again and, he hoped, with a decoration on his breast, she wailed: "You will never come back to me!" "I will, dear heart, I will," he said, and darted out of the door and into the car that was to take him to the station on the North sea where his vessel was awaiting him. Bertha was inconsolable. In vain her mother, her relatives, her friends, endeavored to instill into her a feeling that her lover would survive the perils to which he would be exposed and return to her showered with honors. But Bertha's mind had become oppressed with visions of his boat lying hundreds of feet under the surface, merciless waves rolling far above it, the commander and all the crew lying stiff and stark within their iron tomb. A few days after Schlotter left for his ship a message came to Bertha telling her that he was about to slip out from the station and rove the sea. He would be submerged while passing the allied fleet, but after that there would be little occasion for him to leave the surface except when nearing some merchantman of the enemy that he was intending to destroy. He charged his sweetheart to think of him dashing hither and thither in the service of the fatherland and returning to her, having earned the blessings of his countrymen and the approbation of the kaiser. "If I am given any token of my country's approbation." he said, "I will lay it at the feet of my darling." Lieutenant Schlotter sailed out one dark night on the bosom of a wintry sea. Those who endeavored to keep up Bertha's courage pictured her lover coming to her aglow with pride at the blows he had struck for the fatherland. They spoke of the decorations he would wear, and one enthusiast described him as wearing the wreath of victory that Roman conquerors wore when decreed a triumph. At this suggestion Bertha shuddered. A time came when Schlotter had been out a long while without reporting or being reported. The German admiralty were beginning to think that they must soon place the U-94 on the list of missing submarines. Those about Bertha concealed their fears, and the more they feared the more hopeful they appeared to her. She was told that the time the submarine was expected to return was near and doubtless its arrival would soon be announced. It was proposed that she should be taken to the station to which her lover would return, that she might be on hand to meet him. The proposal did not cheer her, but she consented, and with her mother she left for the coast. Not far from the station was a hotel, in which the two were lodged, and word was left with the proper officer to notify Lieutenant Schlotter when he came in that they were waiting for him. The officer took the message and promised to deliver it. Bertha spent her time sitting at a window looking out upon the bleak North sea or walking on the sands, constantly looking for a sign of the U-94. But the days dragged on, and if did not come. Bertha remembered her lover's promise to come back to her. "I will, dear heart, I will," she kept repeating as if to reassure herself of what she felt would never be. One night Bertha heard that a submarine had come in, but what vessel her informant did not know. She wished to go to the station, but her mother told her that by doing so she would likely miss her lover, who would surely come to her if indeed it was he who had arrived. Bertha was persuaded, but insisted on remaining out on the porch looking in the direction of the station. There was a dull moon, and she could see some distance. Presently she saw the dim figure of a man walking along the margin of the sea. He seemed to advance rapidly, as though in haste. "It is he!" cried the girl, and before her mother, who was with her, could restrain her she ran toward the coming figure. As she neared it a pair of arms were stretched out toward her, holding out to her what looked like a wreath. A chill wind blew in from the ocean. The figure grew dim, and in a moment where it stood was nothing. Frau Bishoff followed her daughter and when she reached her found her lying on the sand unconscious, pressing a wreath of seaweed to her breast. Assistance was called and the girl removed to the hotel. Consciousness returned, but not reason. She lay moaning and muttering. What she said was incoherent, but seemed to be descriptive of visions that came to her. She described the submarine in the toils of a steel net. Her crew lay in a row, each man with a bullet in his brain. But this was the ravings of delirium. Bertha never could give a satisfactory account of what had happened. The only tangible thing connected with the matter was the seaweed wreath. Over this she brooded, repeating, "War a reward; war's reward."

He made his debut in the midst of a thunder-clap. This fact may or may not have been prophetic, but in after life he manifested a decided fondness for applause. With no connivance on his part, the infant Solon was named Thomas Jefferson Monroe Miller. His mother did the naming, while his father, a successful retail butcher, stood by in mute protest, thinking of the day when his son should learn the meat business from the bottom up. Thomas Jefferson Monroe, the elder Miller knew, would find the delivery baskets heavy enough without carrying any excess baggage in the way of a name. But the maternal "boss" had decided that her son was cut out for better things than constant association with steaks and chops and, in the end she had her way, thus depressing the world of another perfectly competent butcher. At the age of eighteen Thomas Jefferson Monroe Miller began to feel that his mother's confidence in him was more than justified. The vista of his ambition included a front elevation of the Presidential chair. During his college course, the prospective statesman was so busy setting the affairs of the nation in oratorical contests and debates that he had no time to spend on the problems of trigonometry. At the end of four years he had developed a magnificent rush of words to the face and, although he was somewhat pumy in mathematics, the faculty decided that the best way to get rid of him was to hand him his sheepskin. By this time our future legislator had grown a wonderful crop of backhair that curled gracefully over his collar, and had acquired the habit of posing for his photograph with a corrugated look about his brow and his right hand in the breast of his coat. By comparison with the most authoritative portraits, he was every inch a statesman, so he returned to his native State and offered his services to the "boss" of the Party in Power. The hard-hearted political czar would have none of him, however, and Thomas Jefferson came to the conclusion that the Party in Power was corrupt. Therefore, he joined the ranks of the Reform Party and lent the crushing weight of his oratory in an effort to convince the "plain peepul" that the Predatory Players in office had stolen everything but the brass hinges on the Capitol door. After several years of incessant oratory, the promising youth was sent to the legislature on the Reform Ticket. He soon instant recognition by propos- Waterproof.

These words of Jesus rang out in the ears of Peter and the rest of the Apostles, not only while he was with them but long after his ascension and spurred them on to duty in carrying out the Great Commission and embolding them in throwing thunderbolts of gospel truth into the camps of wickness. The love for Christ and his sheep and lambs caused Peter and the rest to lose sight of self and self interest for the church of which He set up while on earth and died to save. Love for Christ constrains love for the church on sheep. No man, (pastor-shepherd) can have love for Christ and his sheep and, divide, dovour or scatter his sheep. Jer. 23:1. "Woe unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the Lord." Any man who for the sake of a few dollars and cents or for the sake of having his way or carrying out his point in a church and will allow himself to stay at a place just because he has the majority of members or because a few want him, when at the same time he cannot accomplish much good in said church and community does not only injure the cause of the Master but proves his disloyalty and at the same time shows that he is out of harmony with Jesus. God has a field for you if you will let him use you. Papers were read by Mesdames Ellen White, Nola Sims, and Misses Mary J.

Rev. J. B. McCraay, took $inner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Tittsworth, of Brookport, last Sunday. There are several vacant churches in Southern Illinois, and good pastors are very much in need, especially in the Mt. Olive District. We need broad men, men who are able to construct and reach the unreached and unsaved. We need and must have a good sound gospel minister in the Mt. Olive District for Missionary. Who will it be? It will require an able man, of exceptional qualifications one apt to teach, pray for the work and that God will send more laborers into this vineyard. Where are the license ministers? of our churches? Have the churches been making and encouraging young men to prepare for the ministry to take the places of those who have passed into their reward, and others who will shortly do so? We must have recruits to fill the places made vacant or soon the Baptist pulpits and churches will be lost for leaders The churches and older ministers have made a sad mistake by not encouragifg the younger men. They turned down their own for others and now you are in dire need of men, your own men who should follow in the footsteps of their fathers. The crisis is upon us, turn your eyes upon the harvest and see that the laborers are very few indeed. Will you correct this evil by appreciating your young men. "Take what you have and make what you want," you can make strong preachers if you will MT. OLIVE BAPSTIST S. S. CONVENTION, CAIRO, ILLINOIS APRIL 15, 1917. To The S. S. Composing The Mt.

Hoping that we will be spared to meet altogether in June I am your in the cause of Christ and his Kingdom. 459-15th St. Cairo, Ill. TO THE BAPTIST WOMEN OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. Dear Co-workers, this has been a severe winter, sickness and death has invaded our ranks to the extent that it has kept us from being as active in our visits as or our pen as we might have been. But those of us whom the Lord has seen fit to spare must do service for Him, and we must be up and doing. We want to achieve many good things in His name this year. Dear Sisters, the State Association is right at hand, only two months and a few days; so if we have not been busy let us get busy and stay busy. We can accomplish much in that time if we can get the co-operation of the pastors; the greatest pull back we have is from our pastors, who are holding their churches out of the State Association that is why we wave not the women to work with us, they say "Our church is not not in yet." Dear pastors the Lord has sent you to lead the people not to hold them back. Why not loose the women and let them come to our rescue? Advise them to come, lead them in. No you stand in the way and say we will wait and see what they are going to do, instead of saying "come on, let's go up and make the State Association a real thing, let's make it what God wants it to be. Don't you know you are loosing grounds while you are waiting. You Sisters of the Baptist, cause, get after your pastors entreat them to represent in the State Association which convenes in the beautiful City of Carbondale, Ill., May 22 to 26th, so that you can join in the work of the women. When the minutes come out with so few names of our good and worthy women, it makes the public wonder if that is all the Baptist women of the State of Illinois. I say, no no no, but the pastors are keeping them at home to work for them and will not give them a chance to come out and do a greater work for the Master. They forget the commission is to "go into all the world and make disciples. We must start with the churches, then the district, then the state, then the nation ectbut, dear sisters, if you cannot get your church and pastor to enlist in this state work, come and join us individually: be so determined that the women's work shall be second to none, that we will become annual members and carry on the work just the same. I* will not hinder your local work but will prepare you for it. We need you, God needs you, and does not intend for man to hinder you from doing His bidding. Now, let every Baptist woman in the State of Illinois take up arms and say on to Carbondale on May 22nd. Our watchword is, Forward; our motto is, One Lord, one faith, one baptism. I am lying in bed sick writing this letter, and as near as the time is at hand I may not be able to meet you, but the Lord knows best, and just what He wants me to do, and I am striving to do just that; and if it please him to call me in before the meeting, all will be well; since He will call me off the battlefield and will go in His name. Now, dear baptist women, please read and consider what I have said and remember that our Saviour is an individual Saviour and wants each one to play his or her part, so do not hide your talent but come and join us, and help do a great work for the Master. No organization is right if there is not a free play of individualism no organization for church service is worth while if it does not minister directly to co-operation. In the churches individuals have free play and yet cooperate under the law of the Master with his fellow members. The State W. E M. Association is an organization where the individual can work and we as churches must come as quickly as possible to the place where in every enterprise we are prosecuting, every member of the church will be in it according to the measure of his or her ability. Just as in the battle, ever soldier is to stand in his place and do his part; so in the Illinois State Women's Educational and Missionary Association, every Baptist woman is expected to stand in her place and do her part, and may God help us to do this year. Do not forget the art and needle work department. Your S.S. class can report, your B. Y. P. U., your young ladies and old ladies Sewing Circle, also your Cradle Roll and Children's Band all can repreent in Carbondale in May from 22nd to 26th. May the blessings of a Merciful Father rest upon you and directy your way is the prayer of your humble servant. Bettie Wilkerson, President.
