Zion Baptist church Evanson at the regular time. At 11 Dr. W. P, Washington, delivered one of his able sermons. Rev J. Burbaird preached in the afternoon and Dr. C. C, Phillips preached the closing sermon at night which was said to be ably delivered Drs. C. C. Phillips and J. B. McCray preached for Dr C. H. Clark, pastor of Ebenezer Baptist church the former in the maia auditorium and the latter to an over flow meeting in the basement of the church. At the conclusion of the efforts of the editor of the Gaze te impress the importance of Christian training and Kingdom building, three persons came forward and joined the church. Each of us received for our services as a special donation $6.00 We find Dr. Clark a large hearted whole souled liberal minister and note that he is in the hearts of his members and destined to do a great work in his new field of labor. Dr. Clark, left Monday for Hot Springs Ark for ten days rest and medical treatment as the doctor advised him to get out and take a rest if he wished to continue active work. Dr. W. H. Carter, delivered a strong sermon at 11 a. m. for Dr. L. Drane Dr. J. D. Davis, preached Sunday night at Union Baptist church, Dr. Royal pastor State Missionary Dr. H. E. McWilliams, preached at Aurora Sunday for Dr. B. P. Gales. The meeting held in Evanston, was the best in the history of the org nization of the General Baptist association The Mt, Zion Baptist church and its able pastor, Dr. E. P. Jones certainly entertained the session in a very high manner and demonstrated the fact that they are men and women of high ideals. Dr. Jones, is doing a splendid work in that city and church. He has built a splendid church edifice at a cost of $80,000 which adds much to the Baptists of Illinois and Evanston He is capable of big things, and is a man of constructive work. We visited the Ministers Alliance Monday at 2 p.m. at Ebenezer Baptist church and had the pleasure of making an address to the ministers as did Drs. Pruitt, Frank and Phillips. There is a deal of work for this organization in this great city. It was our painful privilege to see about 300 unimployed men fed by the civic and church organizations of Chicago. We were reliably informed that several of the other large churches are feeding similar members once a day. Over two thousand dollars were raised during the Association. The women raised the following amounts: Foreign Missions $106 23 Panama Zone $22 00 Educational $150 00 Aged Ministers Home $289 92 Enterprise Institute Chicago $60. We were guest while in the city of Miss Mollie Parker W. H. Woods and sister Mrs. Lucinda Wood, Rev and Mrs. H. E. McWilliams where we were royally entertained. We had to refuse the acceptance of many invitations both in Evanston and Chicago. Thus our visit was a pleasant one and an enjoyable one. We left Monday night for Springfield and arrived there at 4 a.m. The next meeting of the Association will convene with the 2nd Baptist church Centralia, in May 1922 Rambier.

Convention, Greeting: Dear Co-Workers: The time is nearing for our District S. S Convention to meet with the Mt. Olive Baptist church in Colp. Let each Supt. and pastor make this one of the greatest in the history of this convention. If each school will bestir themselves and send up a messenger with the spirit of the work, in them we can accomplish great things. This meeting convenes on Wednesday before the 4th Sunday in June. As I see no program committee mentioned in the minuses I ask that each auxiliary get out your program and send to the Gazette. Please attend to this matter. We ask your hearty co-operation this year. We want to do great things for the Master's Kingdom, we can if we will Yours for success, J. W. Corneal, 424 N. Sycamore. All Weather Gear. All Weather Good. Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.—John Ruskin. Oh, the Brute! There had been a certain amount of breeziness in the discussion, which centered around the relative virtue and accomplishment of the two sexes. "You men," said the advanced young woman, "think a great deal of yourselves because you think there is a shortage of your kind. Personally, I should not mind in the beast living in a world where the men and girls were separated by an ocean." The daring bachelor smiled at her. "I dare say you are right," he agreed. "Still, in the event you mention, I certain that there would be a large number of women drowned."—London Morning Post. Effect of Laughter on Health Effect of Laughter on Health. Most happy is the effect of laughter on the circulation. A good laugh is virtually a series of spasmodic expirations. These forcible chest movements cause a partial closing of the glottis which increases the pressure within the thorax and so impedes the entry of blood from the veins into the heart. This effect is discerned in the turgidity of the head and neck. In the second place the exceptionally deep inspirations tend to expand the lungs with air and to draw off the blood from the veins of the heart. Deported as Undesirable. Little Jean was filled with love and adoration for the tiny baby sister who, she had been told, had been sent her from heaven. The love and adoration changed to disgust, however, when the new arrival discovered that she possessed a strong pair of lungs which she exercised unceasingly. The other day Jean was overheard to remark to a little playmate "Just listen to her whoop it up! I bet she yelled like that in heaven and the angels clucked her out." Musical Instruments in Arabia "The Arabian loves songs seemed of and for the desert. Always in a minor key, usually high-pitched, slightly nasal, at times, and ending in a resigned, hopeless minor note, they were weird and plaintive," according to a writer in Asia Magazine. "One did not need to understand the words; perhaps it was best that one should not, for they were frequently bald and unlovely. It was the music that told the story, revealed the passion and even hinted of that it dared not tell. Gave Them What They Acked For. Deacons seeking ministers for their churches often applied to Mr. Spurgeon, famous English pulpit orator. One asked him to send a student who could "fill the chapel," and got an answer saying that Mr. Spurgeon had not one big enough, but he thought he could send one who might fill the pulpit. A reply cause that that was really what they wanted, and a minister was accordingly sent. It was Mr. Whale. --- Burns' Features Were Course. Regarding the description of Robert Burns, Scott says his features have been unduly refined by his portraits. Burns was about the average height and of heavy build, with features inclined to coarseness. Numerous observers have commented on the extraordinary glow in his eyes. "I never saw such another eye," says Scott, "in any human head." Did Her Little Best. "Dorothy, dear, I hope when you took back the picture book that you thanked Mrs. Naybor for lending it to you." "There was nobody home, mamma, but the door was open so I went in and put the picture book on the table and said 'Thank you,' an' couped away,—'Boston Transcript. "Brazilian Grass." This is a name incorrectly applied to a substance used in the manufacture of a cheap kind of hats known as Brazilian grass hats, and also as chip hats. It consists of strips of leaves of a palm, which are imported to Great Britain and elsewhere for this manufacture, chiefly from Cuba. Case Not Entirely Hopeless The proverbial "canel through needle's eye" difficulty in getting to heaven may disturb some rich men but others are encouraged by the thought that their lawyers have dragged them through some pretty small loopholes.-Boston Transcript. Greenwich Master Clock By electricity the master clock at Greenwich observatory fires time guns and drops time balls in many parts of England every day, and sends the hour of 10 a.m. to all post offices and railway terminals.-Brooklyn Engle. Yule Log Once Preserved. In olden times the Yule log was always laid aside before it was burned out, so that the next Christmas day the new Yule log might be lighted from the charred remains of its predecessor. Well? A twelve-year-old girl writes to her newspaper to say that children rarely cause panics, that it is the "nervous, excitable women" who are at fault. How about it?—Collier's Weekly. Records of Australian Shearing. Shearers in Australia are paid by the number of sheep they shear, but the ranch helpers are paid by the week. Averaging everything from young weathers, which are hard, to old ewes, which are easy, a good man will shear about 90 or 160 sheep a day. The actual record is 1327 sheep shown by a Queensland shearer in nine hours. And other big records have been made. But that was probably years back with the "blades," when the fleeces were five-pound and six-pound, and not nine-pound and ten-pound, as they are today. Fertile Soil Carried to Ocean Fertile Soil Carried to Ocean. The total annual rainfall upon all the land of the globe amounts to 29,347 cubic miles, according to the United States geological survey, and of this quantity, 6,524 cubic miles drains of through rivers to the sea. A cubic mile of river water weighs about 4,205,650,000 tons and carries in solution jan average of about 420,600 tons of foreign matter. In all about 2,755,000,000 tons of solid matter is thus carried annually to the ocean, and a good deal of this is naturally the fertile soil washed from the fields.—Farm Life. Insect Basis Threaten Crops Insect Pests Threaten Crops. The Japanese beetle, brought in about the same time as the peach moth, has already gained such firm footbelt that, in view of its habits and prolonged flight, it is probably incapable of extermination and may ultimately overspread the United States. Another foreign pest in comparatively recent years is the European corn borer. Infestations have been discovered in several states and local quantitaries by the federal horticultural board have been instituted to prevent the spread to the corn belt. Odd Japanese Custom From time away back it was the custom in Japan to remove one's shoes before entering a building of any sort, but the old-style shoes of Japan have been discarded for those of the occidental, and it is not so easy to remove them. The Japanese now washes his shoes before going inside a house. Tanks of water with long-handed brushes are to be seen standing outside many of the stores and dwellings of the Japanese cities. Russian's Peculiar Hobby A Russian court official nursed a strange notion in regard to overcoats. He spent the best part of his life inventing a reversible garment of that character. When he had attained his desire he was the happiest man in Petrograd. In winter he made a practice of entering a friend's house clad in beaver and of leaving dressed in reindeer. He boasted that he could attend a wedding and a funeral in the same garment. Arctic Sheep Raising That the arctic lands of northern Canada, where the thermometer goes down to 91 degrees below zero, offer unusual opportunities for growing sheep, cattle, Siberian alfalfa and even fruit, is the announced belief of an American agricultural expert, in Popular Mechanics Magazine. He recommends the cross-breeding of Canadian and Siberian sheep to gain the hardy qualities required. Human Nature in Business Human Nature A plain man, says Fred Kelly in the Nation's Business, who is thoughtful, can usually win a woman away from a handsome devil who is thoughtless an attentive. Likewise, a moderately quick-witted salesman who is always on the job may outdo his more brilliant competitor who doesn't always keep his eye on the ball. Beauty as a Business Asset. I can't recall when I have seen a homely girl in charge of the reception room of a business office. It has long since dawned on employers that beauty makes an excellent first impression, and, moreover, that beauty whether in a girl or the wallpaper, boosts the office morale.—The Nation's Business'. Silent Criticism Powerful. Criticism that says not a word counts for most. Those who effectively rebuke us and help us to better live are not they who talk freely to us about our shortcomings, but they who are quietly doing the things we are failing to do.—Exchange. Crowded House Little Mary awakened in fright one night recently. When her mother went to her to ascertain the cause of her screams she said: "Oh, I dreamed that satan and all of his family were coming into the house." Friends and Books The first time I read an excellent book, it is to me just as if I had gained a new friend; when I read over a book I have perused before, it resembles the meeting with an old one. —Oliver Goldsmith. Jud Tunkins. Jud Tunkins says that for practical purposes a philosopher and a student isn't near as much practical use in society as a person that plays a fair game of bridge. Guatemala. Guatemala has an area of 48,200 square miles, slightly larger than that of the state of New York. It has a population of about 2,000,000, which is approximately 40 per cent of the entire population of Central America. A large part of the population of Guatemala is of Indian blood, unmixed with the blood of Europeans. In this respect Guatemala differs from its four neighboring republics' in three of which the majority of the population is of mixed blood, and in one of which the Indians were exterminated.—National Geographic Society Bulletin. ```markdown ``` Irish Poplin Supreme. Ireland leads the world in the manufacture of poplin and, although most of the silk used is of foreign manufacture, the Dublin weavers treat it in such a manner as to make Irish poplin a distinct fabric. It is composed of worsted made from the finest wool, and silk in combination, and no makers but the Irish seem to be able to produce the softness of texture and brilliance of coloring that is so characteristic of the best poplin. This is attributed to the peculiarity of the Dublin water and the skill and knowledge of the makers. Hygienic Sleeping Rooms. A sunbath, at frequent intervals, is effective in keeping the bedding healthy, sweet and wholesome. To this is added, of course, daily, airing of the bed-clothes for not less than two hours. Eiderdown quilts, though tempting to the eye of the house, are not as hygienic a covering as more easily washed woolen blankets. As at least a third of our lives is spent in the bedroom it behooves us to see that it is clean, airy and hygienic, otherwise refreshing sleep will be impossible, and health will suffer. - Furniture Cleaner. Home-made furniture cleaner can be made by adding one tablespoonful of turpentine and three tablespoonfuls of linseed or lemon oil to one quart of boiling water. When cool enough to be comfortable to the hand, use as a wash water on all furniture except white enamel. Soft cheesecloth for wash cloth and a dry piece for a soft wiping cloth will give the good polish of clean wood. There being no varnish in the mixture, the furniture will not be sticky from this cleaner. Orang-Outang Misnamed. Occasionally the underbrush (southeastern Borneo) crashed beneath the tread of some heavy animal—a rhinoceros perhaps or possibly an orangutan. I might add, parenthetically, that orangutan means, in the Malay language, "man of the forest," while orang outang, the name which we carelessly apply to the great anthropoid, means "man in debt."—E. Alexander Powell in Scribner's Magazine. Hawks Migrate En Bloc The autumn migration of hawks is made partly en bloc, a large proportion of the total population of several Northern species appearing and passing southward at certain more or less definite times. Often one "wave" of the birds will follow a period of quiescence, which will be in turn succeeded by another wave. The Death Cup. The death cup is a very poisonous mushroom of wide distribution. It ranges in color from pure white to more common form in the United States, to olive or yellow, and is so called from the prominent volva. It contains phallin and is almost invariably fatal when eaten. Real Meaning of Thrift The thrifty man is not necessarily a miser. Thrift means more than boarded dollars. It embraces not only spending less than we receive, but the investment of our savings in enterprises which yield returns not only to ourselves, but to the public at large. Wreck Fish Well Named The wreck-fish is one of the inhabitants of the seas with peculiar habits, getting its name because it may usually be found floating about a wreck or loose timbers in the South seas. It is closely related to the stone bass of English waters. Knowledge Equalizer It is knowledge that equalizes the social condition of man—that gives to all, however different their political position, pressures which are in common, and enjoyments which are universal.—Lord Beaconsfield. Airing the Babies At an infants' home in Bedford, Eng., the babies are loured into cart-like perambulators for their afternoon airing, each little vehicle holding six and being in charge of one nurse. Independent New Salesman (hotly)—"I will take orders from no man." Salesmanager (coldly)—"Yes, I noted that while you were on your trial trip."—Minneapolis Journal. Very Human. Jud Tunkins says his automobile unexpectedly quits work and demands more money, the same as if it had human intelligence—Washington Star Metropolis Gazette PUBLISHED ON FRIDAY BY THE GAZETTE PRINTING CO.

There is only one way to cure cartarrh deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrh Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tubes When this tube inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system.

In creative thought common sense is a bad master. Its sole criterion for judgment is that new ideas shall look like old ones. In other words, it can only act by suppressing originality.—A. N. Whitehead in "An Introduction to Mathematics." Packages which, because of improper labelling, misrouting or any one of many other reasons, fail to reach their proper destinations are a source of great annoyance and expense to shippers and carriers alike. The total payments made by all roads for lost packages last year, aggregated an enormous sum, exclusive of payments made for known robbery cases. The "No Lost Package" Drive idea was enthusiastically received by the army of employees of the Burlington Route. Circulars of information were distributed, cartoons "burlesqueing" the wrong way of doing things were scattered broadcast. The sentimental side of the freight handlers found expression in poetic efforts which also were given wide distribution. Many shippers, appreciating the efforts being put forth to insure safe transportation, came forward in a spirit of cooperation, with a "Perfect Package Week." At the close of the drive, the records showed the astonishing decrease of 70 0-0 in the number of lost packages, compared with the same period last year. Two weeks later, 60 0-0 of the "shorts" reported had been located, the goods forwarded to destination and delivered. From present indications, an unbelievable small number of claims, as the result of lost or strayed business, will result from business, will result from business moved during the period of the drive.

Curiosity is a passion very favorable to the love of study, and a passion very susceptible of increase by cultivation. Sound travels so many feet a second, and light travels so many feet in a second. Nothing more probable; but you do not care how light and sound travel. Very likely; but make yourself care; get up, shake yourself well, pretend to care; make believe to care, and very soon you will care. I am sure that a man ought to read as he would grasp a nettle; do it lightly and you are molested; grasp it with all your strength and you feel none of its asperities. Timepiece Gave Good Service. Timepieces, which reached high efficiency early in the machinery era and are subject only to slow wear, should rank as the most enduring of working mechanisms. A clock over the gateway of an English castle is reported to have stopped, and investigation has brought to light an inscription showing that the last repairing was done in 1700. At last worn out, the massive works have ticked off the time for 160 years with no attention except winding. Becoming Overpopulated. Johnny, who already had two younger sisters, had been promised a baby brother, much to his delight. When the eventful day arrived the nurse told him the stork had brought another darling baby sister. Poor Johnny was disheartened. Shortly afterward his father found him alone in his bedroom and asked him how he liked his new sister. "Aw," said Johnny, hopelessly, "it's gettin' too crowded around here." Vast Riches in Comstock Lodge. The Comstock lode produced $340,000,000 of gold and silver in the 30-year period from 1800 to 1890, the largest annual output being in 1877, when $38,000,000 was taken out. The vein was four miles in length and great pockets in the rocks were filled with ore. It was mined to a depth of 3,500 feet, when inflowing water was so hot further depths could not be reached. "Writer's Cramp" "Writer's Cramp." Writer's cramp has been defined as an occupation-negrosia to which those who do too much writing, especially with the hand too tightly contracted, are especially fluable. A person with this trouble has not complete control over the muscles of the thumb and middle and fore fingers, although other manual operations are performed without difficulty. The affection seldom manifests itself till toward middle age. Hawk Really Farmer's Friend. From early times in the eastern United States country boys, and even sportsmen, have held "hawk shoots" during the autumn flights, making their ambushes at places where wood-tard gives way to fields, and particularly where the flight-line is determined by an adjoining body of water. Such hunting is in general rather senseless, or worse, for most of our hawks are beneficial birds.—Exchange. Imported Insect Pests. Mexico has contributed its share of insect pests that are now established in this country. Chief among these are the boll weevil, the pink bollworm and the little Mexican beetle, known as the bean budybird. The last, which has been discovered in Alabama, threatens to spread to other states and inflict immense damage to the cowpea and bean crops. Doggie Surely Lost. Junior's dog, Rex, had a collar with his name and address engraved on it. One day the boy let the dog go out. Later he discovered that he had forgotten to put the dog's collar on. "Oh!" said the child, "now he's sure to get lost. How will he ever know where he lives without his collar?" Exactly What Is Opium?

Reading the dictionary is not a popular indoor sport, but it might well become the habit of any man who likes entertainment and information coming in hand. The dictionary, of course, must be unambiguous, and not devoted solely to spelling and brief definitions such as are found in the small and incomplete editions! Two or three pages, selected at random, will be found to contain a surprising amount of interesting fact and comment for any man, no matter how learned he may be.—Chicago Journal of Commerce. Value of Home Experience. "The middle-aged mothers who have successfully managed large homes and sent out their children as good citizens have proven that such training is invaluable in any national or public work. Any work requiring intricate knowledge and care of detail can be handled by such women just as well as by the younger women who we have been led to believe are the only leaders of the 'new race', says a writer in the independent Woman. "The middle-aged woman has countless opportunities for world usefulness." An All-British Bird. The red grouse—probably the most sporting bird that flies—has never been known to nest outside the limits of the British Isles. This bird flourishes in every Scottish county and in most counties of Ireland and Wales. In England the grouse thrives only as far south as Derbyshire, all attempts to spook more southern districts, even when apparently suitable for the purpose, having proved failures, though some grouse survived for quite a long time after such an experiment in the Thetford district. Quirks of Children's Minds. Quirks of Children's Minds. A correspondent informs us that we did not quite complete our story about the little girl whose version of the national authem was "My country teases me." He says she followed it with "Arthur of liberty." He adds: "And a close second to this is the following quotation from the twenty-third Psalm by another little miss, Surely the good Mrs. Murphy will follow me all the days of my life."—Boston Transcript. As Others Saw Him. To see ourselves as others see us has its humorous as well as its salutary side. The Fellows of the Society of Antiquarians may take note and fashionable collectors look to their laurels. At Norwich, England, a man was characterized as a dealer in antiquies, and the description was added: "He is a man that goes round buying old fishing nets and such like." First Roller-Skates Crude. The first roller skates patented were made in London in 1823. These and other models brought out later could be guided in curves only at the expense of enormous friction. It was not until 1865 that an American brought out a roller skate that made curves and figures such as those possible on ice skates. tickets will be on June 1st, final res-ist; diverse route power privileges.

"--West! The Weight of a Kiss. A scientist has found that a kiss on the lips weighs five milligrams, and it is too bad he cannot state it in watts, volts and ohms or something understandable. Where Small Savings Count. Small savings are like stones in a bridge; they form a firm support to carry one over the flood of an emergency. Up to Mrs. Smith. Up to Mrs. Smith. Jack was visiting a neighbor who always had a supply of home-made cookies on hand. She gave him one, which he ate, and Jack asked for a cookie to bring to his mother. When he reached home he said: "Mother, Mrs. Smith said she was sorry but there was a bite out of your cookie." Truly Feminine Enjoyment. Florence is a great reader. One day she was reading a sad story, and was sobbing as if her heart would break. Her sister noticed ft, and asked her why she was crying. Turning to her inpatiently Florence sobbed, "Can't you leave me alone when I'm enjoying myself?" Quer Figures on Kamerun Huts. The bats of the Kamerun tribe of Africa are decorated with figures which indicate the number of occupants and their relationship. A very large figure in the center stands for the man of the family and other figures for the wives, sons and daughters. Money Needs Fresh Air Money Needs Fresh Air. But for money and the need of it there would not be half the friendship in the world. It is powerful for good if divinely used. Give it plenty of air and it is sweet as the hawthorn; shut it up and it cankers and breeds germs. — George Macdonald. Of Interest to Women. A London zoologist tried to startle the world by announcing that he had discovered a way to hynotize lobsters. Ha, ho, hum. Women have been doing this very thing ever since Eve first set eyes on Adam in the Garden of Eden. Tailors are always reaching after styles that the men will welcome. Why, for the name of all that's mere? ful, don't they make bigay kace trousers fashionable? St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Plenty of Company. "A cubic inch of air often contains a million microbes," declares a scientist. And yet some people complain of feeling lonesome.—Boston Transcript. Special Equipment for Desert.

Cheerapunjit stands on a plateau, overlooking the plains of Sylhet, and it is 1,455 feet above sea level. Westminster Gazette. The thought and Kindness Past.
