METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE VOLUME XXIV. NO. 20 Sabbath Desecration. By Miss Marie Humble. Let us see what it means to desecrate We are desecrating when we divert or turn from sacred purposes. Since there are many ways that we may turn from the cause of Him who doeth all things well, let us take care to know that we are not desecrating in deed or thought There has been no law passed by man in which the Reservation of the Sabbath has been provided, but there was a law passed by the King of the universe, in which He said, Remember the Sabbath Day and Keep it Holy. Is not this law greater than any Sabbath reserve law that any man could pass? Then let us keep it, remembering that when we crowd the Ball Diamond, spend the afternoon of the Sabbath in a Movie or go to our friends have to gossip about our neighbor on the Sabbath that we are doing nothing other than turning from the cause of Him who died on the cross. Again we go to church on Sunday morning and if the minister happens to preach a little longer than usual, long sighs of relief are given, but remember, God hears you and is checking that against you. When we allow our mind to become so well employed that we have set aside a portion of time to let God speak to us through his servants something has come into our minds which has caused us to turn a deef ear to the voice of our God. In conclusion, we say that all of this is sin. Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. Let us look forward to the blotting out of these things. I say as Abraham Lincoln said. If I get a chance to strike it, I shall hit it hard. List of Officers of the Mt. Olive Baptist Dist. S. S. Institute for 1920-21 Pr.s, M. Duncan, Colp, Ill. 1st Vice L.

By Miss Gertrade Buchanan The name Sunday School has come to be almost universally applied to these religious schools of the christian church which, on account of convenience, are held on Sunday. The name derived, therefore, from the day on which cristians meet to teach the Bible, and not from the nature of the institution. Some have adopted the name Bible School, which in some respects is preferable since however sunday school is more widely used it will be employed throughout this course of lessons. Many definitions of the sunday school have been given, one author defines it as the bible study and bible teaching service of the church. Another author defines it thus: the sunday school is a department of the church of Christ in which the word of christ is taught for the purpose of bringing souls to christ, and of building up souls in christ. There are two distinctive methods of getting the gospel to the world; that is preaching and teaching, probably the simplest way of defining the difference between the two is to say that preaching is a continuous discourse, in which only the speker or preacher, speaks and others listen. The simplest definition of the sunday school, therefore, is the teaching or school department of the church. The sunday school is not, as is often supposed, entirely a modern institution. The nucleous of the sunday school is found in the Jewish religion. Long before there were any school in the strict sense of the word, we discover a diligence among the people of God to teach their children the principles of true religion. Abraham was commended and chosen because he would teach his children the law of God. Abraham's 318 servants were not trained only to handle the sword, but also was instructed in religion. Moses commanded the Isralites to teach their children diligently in the law of the Lord, Elisha established schools for prophets, and Jehovah sent princes, priests and levites to teach the people the things of the Lord. In the later Jewish writings outside of the Bible frequent mention is made of schools which were maintained for insuctions in the scriptures. From the earliest existence the christian church took an intense and active interest in the education, both of its own members and all within its reach. The Apostles preached and taught in the jewish synagogue, and private houset. When the jews rejected the gospel and began to persecute its advocates, the apostles and other chris ians gathered themselves from the jewish synagogues. Thus was formed the first congregation of Rome, and Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house. Thus we see that the Bible school like so many other good things of the Jewish religion were in a modified form, brought over to the New Testament Church. "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." Please allow space in your paper, that I might say, our church is moving on to Zion. We witnessed a high day Sunday July 3, our pastor Rev. C. W. Norment, was with and the Spirit of God dwelled in our midst. The delegates Misses Gertrude Buchanan and Mary Crigler, who returned Monday June 27th, made their report from the Mt. Olive Baptist-S. S. Convention. They both reported a nice time and success in the meeting. Total amt raised during service was $18.02. An entertainment will be given July 9th, for the benefit of the church by Hazel Howard, Gertrude Buchanan and Mary Crigler.

He is no sportsman, and a vandal sort of butcher, who shoots the small birds, which no stretch of ingenuity can bring within the definition of game. In some European countries such shooting is termed sport, and some immigrants have brought, the bad habit with them. All hunters and sportsmen should discourage, or when possible, without resorting to too severe measures, put a stop to such butchery. And that not simply because, we ought to, and sensible folk do like to hear and see the little things about, but also because of the actual benefits they confer upon mankind. Michelet, the French naturalist and historian, says in his "Insect Life" that if all the birds were destroyed man could not live on earth more than nine years. He believed that without birds to check the ravages of insects, the insects would first destroy the growing crops of grain, next the grass and the foliage, which would leave nothing on which to feed cattle, hogs, sheep or poultry. The crops having been destroyed, all domestic animals would perish for want of food, and man in his extremity, in a barren and desolate world, would be driven to the necessity of living entirely on fish. When the supply of fish was exhausted he would starve.—Montreal Family Herald. PROVIDED HER WITH FORTUNE Effective Answer of Irish Judge to Defendant's Pica in Breach of Promise Suit. Irish legal celebrity, Judge Murphy, mentioned by Judge Bodkin in "Recollections of an Irish Judge," delivered a very effective charge to a jury in an action for breach of promise. The defendant was not examined, and the Judge commented strongly on this fact. He was interrupted by the protest of the defendant. "You have no right to say that, my lord; sure, I wanted to be examined and my counsel would not let me." "All right, my mish," said the judge; "come up on the table and be sworn. Why didn't you marry the girl?" "Because she hadn't the fortune I wanted, my lord." "How much was that?" "Five hundred pounds, no less." "Gentlemen of the jury," said the judge, concluding his charge, "you will find for the plaintiff five hundred pounds damages. Now sir (to the defendant), she has the fortune you want." Lack Dramas in Verse. It is a curious thing, in the present high tide of the drama, and remembering that the glory of English literature is its poetry, that we have no good modern English drams in verse. It is all the more remarkable because the foremost French dramatist and the foremost modern German dramatist wrote their masterpieces in verse form—"Cyrano de Bergerac" by Rostand and "Die Versunkene Glocke," by Hauptmann. John Masefield, when he writes plays, writes them in prose, with only slight exceptions. And so, for the most part, have Syngne, Yeats, Lord Dunsany, and others. George Meredith might have written poetic dramas in the Elizabethan manner. Thomas Hardy's "Dynasts" is an intellectual rather than a poetic masterpiece—it has nothing of the sublime, emotional, thrilling, transporting power of Rostand. We admire the author's mind more than the work—William Lyon Phelps in the Yale Review. 1921 ARNOLD BENNETT ON WORDS Repetition Better Than the Use of Bad English, is the Contention of Noted Writer. Arnold Bennett hates half-meanings, and especially he hates inexact words. He quotes from a London daily and holds up to ridicule "The King and queen were present at a first night in a London theater last evening for the initial time in their reign." His comments are instructive, Malcolm Cowley writes in the Literary Review: "It is quite a first-rate example of bad English. The culprit, whose name is well known to myself and other members of the London literary police force, evidently thought that it would be inelegant to use the same word twice in two lines; so he substituted 'initial' for 'first' in the second line. * * * Perhaps he had never reflected that words express ideas, and that therefore if a precise idea recurs, the precise word for that idea ought to recur. The idea expressed by the word 'first' is precise enough, and no other English word means what 'first' means. Certainly 'initial' does not mean 'first.' Still, the man meant well. His misfortune was that, having picked up a good notion without examining it, he imagined that repetition was inelegant in itself. Repetition is only wrong when it is unintentional, and when, being horrid to the ear, it is reasonably and honestly avoidable. On the other hand, repetition, used with tact and courage, may achieve not merely elegance but positive brilliance." Here is Bennett's style both in theory and practice, and the practice agrees with the theory. The passage is not merely clear, but it is brilliantly repetitive. The trouble is that Bennett often goes out of his way to repeat himself. HEARTS AFFECTED BY FEAR Armenian Children Slow In Recovering From Terrors to Which They Were Long Subjected. According to Dr. Mabel Elliott, head of the American Woman's Hospitals, who is now serving with the Near East Relief at Ismid, Turkey, a large number of the Armenian children under her care are suffering from enthralled hearts or other forms of heart disease, due to the constant fear to which they have been prey during the past few years. Relief workers in the Near East have long been familiar with the mental petrification due to the terrible experience through which these children have passed, most of them having forgotten everything of their past, their names, their homes and their language included, but this is the first instance that has been recorded of the effect of fear on their hearts. The cure which Dr. Elliott is practicing with these children is a combination of mental and medical. First of all, they are made to realize that they are entirely out of danger and among friends. Then they are put on a special diet of nourishing foods and certain exercises are prescribed. The results so far have been remarkably successful. Roses for Every Section. The Department of Agriculture in a rose zone map shows how frosts limit rose culture in certain sections. Tea roses by this map can be grown throughout the South and in California, or wherever the frosts are over in March. Hybrid tea roses are safe farther north to southern Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, New Mexico and Arizona, where the frosts are over in April. Hybrid perpetuals and some hardy specimens can be grown in the northern states where the last frost is in May, but where frosts occur during the summer, as in parts of the northwest, success with outdoor roses is difficult. This schedule is based on the supposition that roses in the districts assigned to them as safe will need no special care in the winter. With winter coverings of earth, straw and burilp, many roses will resist frost and cold. Some hybrid tea roses, for example, can be grown in Minnesota and Massachusetts. There are thousands of varieties of roses, and several hundred new ones are produced each year, so that there are roses adaptable to practically every part of the country. All True. The guest was a smirking, sly sort of man. He hoped to make good with his host by winning the affection of his children. But for some reason seven-year-old Mary did not like him. Still he persisted and one evening when he entered the house and saw her all beckoned in a new dress, he said meaningly, "Fine feathers make fine birds, I see," and smiled at her father. Mary turned and looked at him and noticed the fur collar on his overcoat. And then a little giggle escaped her. "Oh, fine fur makes foxes, too," she returned. But she didn't know why the guest colored. Pleas of Cashier's Wife Dissuades Man from Robbing Bank Pleas of Cashier's Wife Dissuades Man from Robbing Bank Enters Foristel, Mo., Bankers Home in Ugly Mood, but Leaves Weeping. How his wife's pleas dissuaded a negro robber from a plan of holding up the bank at Foristel, Mo., last Thursday night is told by the cashier, James Cannon. Cannon was sitting in his home about 9 p. when a negro about 30 years old opened the screen door and walked in with a revolver pointed at the bank cashier, "You had better be quick and come with me to the Bank and open the safe," the negro said. Cannon replied that the safe had a time lock and he could not open it until 9 o'clock in the morning. The negro began to argue. Mrs. Cannan, who had retired, heard the conversation and came to see what was going on. "Aren't you ashamed ashamed of yourself?" she asked the negro when she saw the revolver leveled at her husband. "You ought to know better than to steal. Are CLARKVILLE MO.

ANOTHER GOOD SESSION OF THE EAST MT. OLIVE S. S. CONVENTION, GONE INTO HISTORY. This Session was held with the Mt Zion S. S. Dewmaine, June 22-26. It was remarkable for several things, viz; faithful work of the constituents, liberality and the election. The officers for the most part were re-elected. One of the most high grade literary program were staged on Thursday night that we ever witnessed. Dr. W. A. Springs, entire family was much in evidence. It goes without saying that the Dr. and Madam Springs know how to do. Fannie and Andrew are coming thru too. We must take time to hint the efficient way the dining room was conducted, Madam M. B. Taylor gave a splendid outline of those that associated with her in the basement. Meals were served in the basement of the A. M. E. church of which Rev. J E. Reddick, is pastor. The Dewmaine people spared no pains, they came on by turns. The Cox, Clayborne, Jones, Taylor, Dantler, Wade and other families and the young men played their part in serving. Madam Stella Huggins, Gafney and Curnion were the reception committee. The Mr. Olive S. S. Convent was in session at Colps, at the same time. Greetings were had to and from each day by the messengers. The name are too many you a married man?" The negro replied that he was, but he had to have some money and have it quick. Mrs Cannon then told the negro that it would mean ruin to them if her husband was forced to open the bank safe, because it would be suspected that he took the money himself. The longer she talked the less determined the man became, until finally his arm with the revolver dropped, while he wipped the tears from his eyes with his sleeve. "I guess I had not do this stealing," he said, when Mrs. Cannon asked him if he was not ready to go. Cannon then emptied his pockets of change and gave all of it, which amounted to $5, to the penitent robber. The negro pocketed his revolver and the $5 and departed without further attempt to molest the family — Globe Democrat. The above sounds like a fish story. —Editor. to mention. These Conventions were so closely connected, we that that Editor McCrary, would have spoken of them and relieve us of the job. From what we have learned of the Mt. Olive, it was a grand affair too. The East Mt Olive Convention had three sermon a day the meetings were grand from start to finish. Money raised $280.00 we were advised that the Mt Olive raised $225.00. These two bodies are the greatest organizations that we know of. Not an hundred Scholars of any School represented in either body and not more than 45 schools. We challenge the entire Country for a better showing. Now that both Conventions are over, let all eyes be turned on the the East Mt. Olive Ass'n which meets with the Galilee Baptist church on Tuesday before the 2nd Sunday in Aug. And remember too, that the National Baptist Convention meets in New Orleans La. Tuesday before the 2nd Sunday in Sept. Let us arise and be doing. The Mt. Olive Association will meet on Tuesday before the 4th Sunday in Sept. Editor McCrary, Dr. Phillips has opened the columns of his paper gratis to the corresponding secretaries of the Conventions and also to such scribes as ye are, one who know how to paint pen pictures in newspapers and one who not only loves to write, but is recognized as one of the most able writers of our day, therefore we see no reason for convicting the edtor for not doing what riggly belongs to any one. We fear too much is expected of the editor by some people "Doc." Mr. and Mrs. Eli Huff, left for Terre-Haute, Ind, today (Friday) where they will reside in the future. They may return soon.

Canadian shipbuilding dates from 1605 with the small vessels built at Port Royal (Annapolis) by Francois Grave, sailor from St. Malo. Seventy years later Interdent Talon's trading vessels are voyaging from Quebec to the West Indies and France—forerunners of those on the later triangular course—Canada to South America, Marselles and return. CHIEF EXECUTIVE Occupants of the White Sought Recreation in of Strenuous It is said that Presidid the best golfer who ever White House. Though up the game three year get round the Chevy C Washington in 95, bogey Mr. Wilson, though very good walker, was games, with the one extenuis. He played a s The year 1833 is the famous scam mark when the Royal -William, capacity 363 tons, left Picton on August 29 and reached London in 25 days—the first ship to cross the ocean under no power but steam. Though this ship was built in Quebec, it was to Nova Scotia in the persons of the three Cunard brothers that the vision came. Steam power, however, was as yet a baby. In 1850, Mackenzie of Picton astonished Glasgow with the Hamilton Campbell Kidston, the biggest sailing ship the Clyde had ever seen. In 1864 Nova Scotia was launching 300 vessels, and by 1880 eastern Canada building, sailing, owning and selling, had become one of the four greatest shipping districts of the world. For a period between these dates Canada headed the lists of tonnage in proportion to population. It was not so much the use of steam that caused the decline as the change from wood to metal. Had Nova Scotland developed her metal industries a generation sooner, the 500 Canadian vessels, built in 1875, would surely not have dwindled to 20 in 1900. EARTH NOT REALLY CROWDED Trouble Is That Nature Has Not Seemed to Arrange a Division That Is Equitable. Somebody has reckoned that if the earth's population had increased 4% per cent every hundred years since the birth of Christ, by now there would not be standing room left on the globe, including all the islands. Yet England and Wales in ten years increased their population 161 per cent, and the increase in the United States has been much greater. The earth's population at the present time is about sixteen hundred million. Different parts of the earth vary greatly in the matter of density of population. Certain portions of China, the Ganges valley, and parts of Europe are too crowded for comfort. On the other hand, large tracts of Central Asia, Russia, the Americas, Africa and Australia could accommodate many more people. The Turks by their religious fanaticism have caused devastation in the last five hundred years in the valley of the Danube, in Macedonia, Asia Minor, Syria, and Mesopotamia. These countries, as a result of massacre and famine, are dried-up deserts.—Popular Science Monthly. To Waterproof Matches. One of the commonest experiences of the camper is that of finding that matches are so damp that they will not strike. All this trouble may be avoided by providing oneself with waterproof matches. These are easily made in the following way; Melt a few humps of candle wax in an old can on the stove. Allow this to cool a little and then, before it has set, dip the matches in, one at a time. Treat the heads and about half of the wooden part. Place the matches on one side to that. Matches treated in this simple manner have been soaked in water for many hours, and they have ignited as readily as those which were perfectly dry. The only difference is that, in striking, it is needful to do so a trifle more firmly so as to get through the thin film of wax surrounding the head. When once the flame starts, the match burns very readily, owing to the wax which had adhered to the wood. Any ordinary matches can be treated in the manner described.—S. Leonard Bostin in St. Nicholas. Use the Hours Wisely Many men whose time had never been turned to account until they were past 40 have still had enough left to accomplish great things in the world. But these are the most sincere mourners for the years that might have been utilized. If you will begin to-day to bear in mind that time cannot be hoarded, and that every hour of it should be converted into something that can be hoarded, you may lay the foundation for a fortune. You will certainly lay the foundation for happiness by and by. Count your hours and allot each one to some task or to some profitable recreation. See that none of them slip by. They are as water through a mill, which, if sent over the wheel, creates valuable energy, but which spilled over the dam is gone forever.—John Blake, in Chicago Daily News. You Never Can Tell. Guest (upon approaching his host's home in the suburb)—Ah, there are some of your family on the veranda. See if I can guess who they are. The girl in short dresses is your daughter, the young man in riding breeches is your son and the lady in the er—tea gown is your charming wife. Host—No, you are all wrong. The girl in short dresses is my grandmother; the young fellow in riding breeches is my wife and the lady in the tea gown is my 10-year-old daughter, who likes to dress up in her great-grandmother's dresses. —Judge. Occupants of the White House Have Sought Recreation in All Forms of Strenuousness. It is said that President Harding is the best golfer who ever lived in the White House. Though he only took up the game three years ago, he can get round the Chevy Chase course at Washington in 95, bogey being 71. Mr. Wilson, though at one time a very good walker, was never keen on games, with the one exception of lawn tennis. He played a sound game of lawn tennis. He is a good mechanic and has on occasion shown that he could drive a locomotive. The late Mr. Roosevelt was by far the most athletic man who ever sat in the presidential chair of the United States. Some of his feats were extraordinary. So lately as 1909 he rode 98 miles in 17 hours over slushy Virginia roads. He never stopped anywhere for more than ten minutes, except once, at midday, for lunch and to rest his horse. He was a skillful boxer and a fine fencer. Some eighteen years ago he received a bad wound over the eye in a fencing bout. The button of his opponent's foll broke off. "Big Bid" Taft, who was one of the heaviest of United States Presidents, took up boxing in order to get his weight down, and was successful in reducing himself. Fishing is a sport which many Presidents have enjoyed, among them Benjamin Harrison and Mr. Cleveland. The latter was a really keen angler and used to visit Florida in winter in order to enjoy the delights of capturing the great "silver king," as the turpun is generally called. GAIN AND LOSE POPULARITY Words Travel in Cycles, Speakers and Writers Dropping Into the Mode of the Moment. "Allocation," said the wordmonger, "is a word that is being given considerable prominence, it became popular during the war in connection with ships and loans. The 'allocation' of shipping and the 'allocation' of loans came to be current phrases. Not long ago the senate called on the President for information as to how he had 'al' located certain funds. In a recent newspaper story about an operatic benefit in one of the big cities the newspapers said that 'the allocation of boxes is to be based on the size and date of the contribution; "'Allocation' is so closely allied to 'allot,' 'assign' and 'apportion' that the shipping and treasury authorities might just as well have said the 'allotment' of ships and the 'apportionment' of funds or loans. But words come into fashion and writers and speakers fall into or 'fall for' the prevailing mode in words as some persons do for the prevailing colors in socks or neckties and the prevailing style in haircuts, says the Washington Star. In the 'olden times'—that is, when grandfather was in business—'allocation' had somewhat of a run as a financial word and one could often hear and see the phrase 'allocation of the shares of the company.' "Findings Is Keeping." "Finding is Keepings." "The appellate division of the Supreme court of New York, has decided that 'findings is keepings', even for a copper," writes the New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger. "You see, Policeman Nicholas J. Mujeski was off duty when he picked up an envelope lying on the sidewalk in Third avenue, Lucky pick! Envelope contained fourteen $50 Liberty bonds. That was in April two years ago, and being an honest 'cop' he turned them in. No owner turned up and recently Nick went around to the lost property bureau and put in a claim for them as their finder. 'If you were a citizen you could have them,' said his superior officer, 'but you are just a cop and the police rules and regulations say the proceeds from unclaimed property found by members of the force goes to the police pension fund.' Nick hired himself a lawyer, made a fight for the bonds and the law stands back of him." Church Bars Collection Plate A new method of meeting church expenses is told by the London Morning Post, which reports that collections have recently been entirely abolished at the parish church of Fulham, in London, except for special occasions for objects not connected with the parish. Church expenses will be met out of a special fund which has been formed and to which every member of the congregation is asked to contribute a definite sum weekly. The experiment is said to be the first of its kind so far as the Church of England is concerned, but the vicar of Pritttwell, who was secretary of last year's church congress at Soutend, has for some time had a very successful special fund at his church, if he has not entirely abolished the ordinary collections. Snake Adopts Mouse A white mouse placed in the cage with a South American boa constrictor as food has been adopted by the snake, according to Edwin A. Osborne of No. 9518 1116th Street, Richmond Hill, owner of the unusual family. The mouse has made a nest of straw in the colls of the boa and Mr. Osborne declares the most amicable relations exist between the two. The snake recently crushed to death a large rat in twenty-four seconds. The reptile refused to eat the rat, however.—New York World. Wonderful Hair Grower.
