Editor of "Monitor" Warns Missourians Regarding Unwise Legislation Against Good Man The Praternal Monitor, published at Cincinnati, Ohio, Joseph L. Jones, the Supreme Worthy Counsellor of the Order of Calanthe, in a lengthy article, recently praised the work of Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloyd, of Knights of Pythias of Missouri. Warning He warns the Pythians of Missouri against being too hasty in trying to retire a good and useful man as Mr. Lloyd, in the following words: A. W. LLOYD. "Honorable A. W. Lloyd, Grand Chancellor of Missouri, has issued a circular showing $241,464.91 paid to beneficiaries from Burial Fund. "The circular contains several commendatory letters on the administration of Sir Lloyd, which indicate that the law which would force the retirement of the great Missouri leader was unwise and should be repealed. "Sir Lloyd has been through a few storms while piloting the Pythian ship of Missouri, but that he has weathered them all and brought them to the port of Missouri none will deny.

In spite of the threatening weather, a goodly audience turned out to witness the operetta. The program was interpreted with much skill and interest. The limited capacity of the platform forbade the exercise of real dramatic action, but the masterful rendition of the choruses and solos was sufficient to impress all with the real significance of the program.

ROBBED OF WEEK'S BOBED OF WEEK'S PAY Henry Mitchell, chauffer, 3113 Pine street, reported to the police, eighth district, that he was held up and robbed of his week's pay Monday, which was $16.00. According to Henry's statement, he was on his way to a garage for his car which was in the shop at 3950 Olive street. And as he entered the alley, he thought of his money which was in his side pocket of his trousers, and decided he would move it to a more secure pocket, and just as he took out his roll and was counting it, a white man with a revolver in hand pointed it at his head commanding him to "drop that rolland back up," which he did while the highwayman grabbed up the money and ran through a blind gangway, and made good his escape. When asked why he did not make an 'outey Henry stated that he was very much frightened, and did not realize that his money was really gone until it was too late. He gave the police a good description of the robber. On account of the rain last Monday night the third chapter of "The Secret of the Submarine" will be repeated, at the Booker, Washington Theatre Saturday night. This serial is proving such a sensation that Mr. Turpin is reluctant to let his patrons miss any of it. In this episode the jumping of the gap by three persons in an automobile is the most sensational dare-devil stunt in moving pictures. The fourth chapter will be shown Monday night. Synopsis of Chapter 4 Dawson, owner of the destroyed auction house, tells Hope he retained a list of the book purchasers and points out Satsuma, as one who aroused his suspicions, just entering an au Rev. F.P. Berry Does Great Work The Rev. F. P. Berry, of 4175 W. Belle, who has for some time conducted religious services at Scullin-Gallagher steel plant, is having quite a success with his work. He has gained not only the confidence of the employees, but their employer as well. The men of all nationalities pay their respects to Rev. Berry because they say he is a shining light among them. After his sermons, it is wonderful to see the men grasp his hands, saying "how can a man do such work unless God be with him!" Rev. Berry is very much enthused over his work among the men and says he intends to build a church that he may be able to do greater work for the Lord. He is a believer in his race, and is always willing to help business enterprises, by telling the men that they should patronize the men of our race in every line in which they are engaged. Visitors are invited to come out at any time to see what is being done at this great industry. EDITOR CHRISTIAN INDEX VISITS ST. LOUIS Mr. J.

Morton takes Olga in his machine and Satsuma arrives to see them enter the bombmaker's home. Morton, watching for other seekers, of the secret, sees Cleo and Hope drive up. Olga exchanges signals with Stephansky when Morton confesses he is after the secret—and Cleo. Olga instructs Cleo to return at night alone. She does and is immediately seized. Morton, masked, binds her and she is told she will remain a captive, until she reveals the secret. Hope and Hook, anxious about Cleo, go to the house. Hope breaks in the door and grapples with Stephansky. Hook locates an underground passage to the cellar where Cleo is tied.

FIFTH BAPTIST NOTES As is the custom every first Sunday in the month, we had our covenant meeting in the forenoon. Sunday-school followed at the usual hour with a good attendance, after which Dr. Caston, the pastor, and family, with quite a number of the members made a very pleasant trip to the Second Baptist Church in Kirkwood, where the Men's Educational Club had a very successful financial rally, Dr. Gaston being the principal speaker. Some returned at the hour for B. Y. P. U. We had a very interesting lesson on the "Conseration of Money" and many good points were presented, showing how we ought to train ourselves to give a God's cause.

Ford at 8:30 p. m., who very ably filled the pulpit and took his audiences on a heavenly journey spiritually from the subject, "Search the Scriptures for in them ye think ye have eternal life; and these are they which testify of me."

"The Truth About the Bible," about five hundred pages, $3.00. Why Jesus Was a Man and a Woman, and the Biblical Book of $2.00. "Sexology of the Bible," over one hundred and seventy- five pages, $2.00. All cloth-bound. These books treat of the sex of the Bible, and show that the Bible is both a gift and a belt, and that sex is the dividing line between the physical and spiritual worlds. They show that disease, sickness and insanity are within theinal sin and cause of death. They are arresting the attention of the medical, scientific philosophical and theological books of modern times, and will probably do more to shape the thoughts of the human race than any books ever written in the history of the world. They give the great thinkers of all parts of the civilized world. "I would rather be the author of the Truth About the Bible, by Sidney C. Tapp, than to be the author of the Bible, by his sex interpretation of the Bible, as therein contained, is so daring and his conclusions are so unanswerable that the human mind has been answered. For ideas, it is the world's greatest book. Mr. Tapp's books on the Bible and his sex interpretation of the Bible are the Republics may perish and Empires may decay, but the ideas presented by the author in these books on the Bible "never die." "Mr. Tapp's works on the Bible will do more to empty our jails, insane institutions and hospitals than any other idea that has ever been given to us. It will do nothing of the great good, morally and spiritually, that they will do the ruman race. He has indeed produced a world idea that will give us home and library in the civilised world."

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION STATE AID FOR OLD FOLKS AND ORPHANAGE At the time to see the Republican candidates, representatives and Senators to the Missouri town them the necessity of appropriating more land a Colored old folks' home and Colored two homes in St. Louis are in a dilapidated state aid. Pennsylvania Legislature gives $20,000 a year, and orphanage in Philadelphia and the same hospital. We know from conversation with silage that they are willing to do a similar job in St. Louis. Don't let the opportunity slip the Legislature are looking for votes, and we offer provision to sustain a few necessary men and see them. Regregationists are only lying in wait, waiting for Supreme Court of the United States on the Louisville. If the decision is adverse to the day now to take the decision of Judge Dyer, it, but if that decision favors segregation, removal of the temporary injunction place,eyer. Therefore we need watch the movement. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. The storm at Chicago is over, and the sky will find the invincible armies of the Republican to victory. The candidates filed for nomination on the American ticket are many real good men, and we no mistake in your choice. Minister of the National Republican ticket Cry and save ourselves from further movement. Crowism, disfranchisement and segregation in the Republican party and holding that paradigms. New York office, Frost & Frost, 23, East 26th Street; Chicago office, Frost & Frost, Boyce Building Atlanta office, Frost & Frost, Chandler Building; Nashville office, Frost & Frost, Independent Life Building. STATE AID FOR OLD FOLKS AND ORPHANS Now is the time to see the Republican candidates for nomination for Representatives and Senators to the Missouri Legislature and urge upon them the necessity of appropriating money to build up and sustain a Colored old folks' home and Colored orphan home. These two homes in St. Louis are in a dilapidated condition and need state aid. The Pennsylvania Legislature gives $20,000 a year to the Colored home and orphanage in Philadelphia and the same amount to the Colored hospital. We know from conversation with members of our Legislature that they are willing to do a similar thing for the Negro in St. Louis. Don't let the opportunity slip. The candidates for the Legislature are looking for votes, and we are looking for ampler provision to sustain a few necessary charities. Pick out your men and see them. The segregationists are only lying in wait, waiting for the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States on the segregation case in Louisville. If the decision is adverse to them, they are raising money now to take the decision of Judge Dyer to the same court and test it, but if that decision favors segregation they will demand the removal of the temporary injunction placed upon it by Judge Dyer. Therefore we need watch the movements of the Negro baiters. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." When the storm at Chicago is over, and the sky gets bright again, you will find the invincible armies of the Republican party marching on to victory. Among the candidates filed for nomination on the city and state Republican ticket are many real good men, and it makes it easy to make no mistake in your choice. The nominee of the National Republican ticket will be a winner. Let us try and save ourselves from further movements in favor of Jim Crowism, disfranchisement and segregation by voting solidly for the Republican party and holding that party to its original pledges.

In remembrance of my dear sister and brother, Cecile and Augusta Green, who departed this life June 8, 1914. Passed from earth for peaceful rest, And called by God who knows best; Hard it was to part from you, Those vacant chairs can never be filled: Sleep, my dear sister and brother in yonder lonely grave beneath the flowers. Sadly missed by your brother S. L. Green and family. CARD OF THANKS We wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to the many friends for their kindness and sympathy during the illness and death of our beloved cousin and friend, Mrs. Sequenia Davis, who entered into rest Thursday, May 25th, at 9:45 p. m.

BEAUTIFUL CHARACTER GONE Mr. R. G. Humphrey, of 1916 Goode Ave., after a long siege of illness, departed this life Thursday, June 1. He was born in Marshall, Michigan, February 6, 1854, and by his request the remains were interred in their family lot in Calvary Cemetery, where his mother, father, sister and other dear ones were laid to rest. His wife, Mrs. Sarah, a daughter, little grandson, Roscoe; a sister, a niece and two nephews accompanied the remains. Mr. Humphrey was fully resigned to the will of the Master. He talked freely with Mrs. Humphrey a few hours before the end came and IN MEMORIAM completed all arrangements. He selecbed the seventh and fourteenth chapters of John for her to read for him, and after she had finished he said, "You do not understand about them now, but you will later." At the funeral services Rev. Brown selected for the occasion the 14th chapter of John and touched deeply upon the seventh chapter. He had been with the general manager of the Wabash Railroad Company for twenty-one years and they have been untiring in their efforts to make him comfortable and happy. True Blue Lodge No. 107, of St. Louis, had charge of the funeral. IN MEMORIAM In loving remembrance of my beloved wife, Mrs. Rose A. Thomas, who entered into rest a half year ago today, on Dec. 10, 1915. Thou art gone, Oh, my loved one, Thy form I can't see; The sweet voice that hath spoken, Oh, where can it be. And to the soul that doth aspire, An immortality; Where changes ne'er can break the tie, That binds my heart to thee. So sadly missed by her husband, John A. Thomas, relatives and friends.

Watkins, 2805 Laclede Ave. JUST WHAT ARE "LUXURIES? Detroit Newspaper Thinks Humanity Would Be Injured If People Must Use Only Necessaries. What are we here for, anyway? Simply to work? Would life be worth living if all its luxuries were suppressed? Where would society be today if all the world had for centuries followed the principle that it was wisdom to get along with as little as possible? The warring nations of Europe are talking of raising the necessary means to carry on the bloody conflict by "economizing." And there is now being dinned in the cars of those still at home the "duty" of living on as little as possible, and above all other things to cut out all "luxuries." What are "luxuries?" Carpets? Pictures? Music? Automobiles? Baby carriages? Butter? Books and newspapers? Pie and cake? Collars and neckties? Rugs? These and a thousand other things that might be mentioned are "luxuries" in the sense that men and women could exist without one of them. But civilization is built on the consumption of goods, not on their ceasing to be produced. "Variety is the spice of life" in what is eaten, worm and enjoyed. It is the material things that add to the joy of living. Verily economic necessity is revolutionizing old formulas for the happiness of the human race. In order to procure cannons, one must eat less. The demand for powder and shot, warships and flying machines makes it necessary that we should live more like beasts and less like human beings. What irony to be told that it is the duty of all to forego "luxuries" in order to be better able to kill people. Instead of abolishing luxuries, how much wiser it would be to abolish war and war debts.—Detroit Journal. Monkey, Stealing Matches, Ignitees His Room and Cage, and is Burned to Death. Ralph Gregor's trained monkey, Ralph, wound up a lurid career of mischiefmaking by one last glorious act. At the cost of his life he called out the city fire department. Incidents in Ralph's checkered career have been escapades in which he eluded his owner and was mistaken at night for a Jack the Peeper by frightened women into whose bedroom windows he peeped, and again when he clambered to the top of a home in the neighborhood and jabbed holes into the tin roof with a butcher knife until the police were called. Gregor had left Ralph confined in a cage when the owner went to work. During the man's absence the monkey, it is believed, managed to reach through the bars and into the pocket of a coat of his owner hanging near. Striking the matches he found there was a minor accomplishment for the intelligentit simian. Firemen managed to confine the blaze to the room, but among the ruins was found Ralph's charred body.—York (Pa.) Dispatch Philadelphia Record. London Submerged. Some famous savant has declared that before another hundred years have passed the cities and towns of the world will be engulfed in vast chasms filled with fire from the center of the earth. The late Grant Allen prophesied such a thing in one of his books. He pointed out in cold print that many parts of the earth's surface are as thin as a match box, and that one of these thin spots is in the Thames valley near Cookham, away in merry England. The earth there, according to the writer, opened suddenly in a gigantic fissure miles long, whence millions of tons of lava gushed out and poured down the valley. When the flood was over the towns near the Thames, as well as London itself, were covered with rapidly congealing lava which turned them into an immense desert."—Finis," Oscar Frichet, in National Magazine. Manna From Bittie Bitis, now in Russian hands, is noted among other things for its export of manna, large quantities of which are gathered from the trees in the neighborhood. Science affirms that this manna is a saccharine exudation from the tree itself, but the people of Bitis regard it as a deposit left by the aromatic exhalations which the wind brings in their direction from Arabia, and state that it lies on any plant, without regard to its nature, the deposit always being greatest in dry years. Bitis exports two kinds of manna—the white, obtained by drying the leaves of the trees and allowing the saccharine matter to fall off, and the green, obtained by soaking the leaves in water. Liked the Preacher's Wife. Liked the Preacher's Wife. Down at Escondido the people of the Congregational church were satisfied to issue a call to a visiting clergyman, but they wisely decided to first have a look at his wife. The lady not only went down, but she preached to them, and after that the congregation hardly knew whether to call the lady or her husband. It was finally decided to call the husband, but to let him know just how much they thought of his wife. Any congregation with sense enough to reckon on its pastor's wife ought to be a joy to the preacher himself, and also an inspiration—Los Angeles Times. Up to about 28 years age hand-puffed iron was used entirely for making pipe; for various reasons steel had not been successfully welded, and as the quantities needed were comparatively small there was no trouble in supplying the demand, says the Engineering Magazine. With an increasing use of pipe, however, the discovery that steel could be welded when treated properly, and the discovery of cheaper and better processes of making this material, caused it to be employed more and more, and two classes of pipe appeared on the market—iron and steel. With many manufacturers in the field different grades of these appeared, and now there are a number of such grades; in fact there is as much difference between some of the wrought-iron pipes as there is between it and the steels, and there is a corresponding disparity between the latter. All of this has tended to increase the confusion, and inasmuch as any new material is liable to be looked upon with suspicion, it is perhaps only natural that there should have arisen much lack of agreement regarding the length of life which iron pipe, as contrasted with that made from steel, might be expected to give. NICKEL WILL REPLACE PAPER Will Reduce Bunk and Weight of Books. Edison is not alarmed by the paper scare; he foresees the day when nickel will be substituted for paper in books, remarks London Answers. He estimates that a sheet of nickel one twenty-thousandth of an inch thick is cheaper, more flexible and more durable than an ordinary sheet of note paper. The weight would not be great, either, for a nickel book, containing 40,000 pages, would only weigh one pound, and only be two inches thick. The Japanese are wonderful paper manufacturers, paper being put to far more uses in Japan than in Europe, and they cultivate a certain mulberry oler solely for the use of its bark in paper manufacture. Wood pulp is not by any means the sole paper material, for at the Paris exhibition of 1889 sixty webs, or rolls, of paper were displayed, each roll being made from a different fiber. Books, too, have seen the light, produced from several hundred leaves of different fiber. The pity is, though, that these discoveries are either too costly for production or that the substances are unobtainable in Europe. Praise French Writer's Work Prime French writer's work. Hene Benjamin, hailed as the new French Kipling, was born in Paris 38 years ago. He has worked for the newspapers and contributed to the magazines and reviews. The book which has given him such a high place in literature is "Gaspard," a novel, which is spoken of by the French as the one literary masterpiece of the war. The author comes from an interesting family, being the grandson of the engraver, Ernest Rue, who died recently; the son of Ernest Benjamin, a novelist cut off before his prime, who was a member of the executive committee of the Societe des Gens de Lettres, and the nephew of the eminent veterinarian, Hearl Benjamin, who is one of the hundred members of the Academie de Medecine. Heretofore hone of his writings attracted any large share of attention. When the Robins Are Busy. The little tree sparrow, who stays around in winter, gets very stout in the cold weather, with a layer of fat from an eighth to a quarter of an inch thick between his skin, and his ordinary flesh. The gull, which seems so harmless in the harbor, will take clams and drop them from on high onto the hardest rock or closest packed sand he can find to break their shells. Twenty times is none too many to try before he gives up entirely if it cannot be done before. Everyone knows about robins, of course, but it is still fascinating to watch them making nests. And they are doing it now, early in the morning, when the twigs and grass are damp and pliable from the night dew—Exchange. New Norwegian Industry Norwegian fish canners, who have been endeavoring to become independent of other countries for their supply of timplate, have been successful in their attempts to secure sufficient capital for the erection of rolling mills in their city. The plans for the new mills provide for a yearly production of at least 30,000 tons; their erection will cost more than $1,000,000, and they will employ 400 to 500 men. The electric machinery to be installed will produce 1,600 horse power, but the maximum production will not be reached, for three or four years.

The inspection and specifications for the forgings are most rigid and the slightest flaw developing at any stage of manufacture is usually sufficient cause for rejecting the forging, or for special proof firing with excessive pressures at the risk of the maker after the gun is completed. An experienced manufacturer may not have many rejected forgings, but without exceptionally good fortune an inexperienced maker may count on 25 per cent or more of rejections. This extreme care does not appear unreasonable when it is considered that the gun must withstand a suddenly applied interior pressure of perhaps 35,000 pounds to the square inch, which at each firing stresses some portion of the gun to perhaps 70 per cent of its elastic limit. A gun failure is of serious moment, for aside from the death or injury of the detachment the moral effect on other detachments is bad—Engineering Magazine. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` Believe in Hair Culture? and Insure Safety By Using "ighter System" AND Hair Beautifier g.

SELLERBAR, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright by Western Newspaper Union.) BOWING AND REAPING (TEMPER- ANCE LESSON.) LESSON TEXT—Galatians &. GOLDEN TEXT—God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap—Gal. 6:7. We turn aside today to consider the second temperance lesson for the year. Paul's letter to the churches of Galatia strongly contrasts law and grace. It's key verse is ch. 2:16, and its most prominent word is "law." many claim verse one of Chapter 5 as its golden verse. This final chapter is a most practical one and rich in suggestion regarding our social relations. Let each member come prepared to give a temperance application or to ask a temperance question. I, "Bear Ye One Another's Burdens" (vv. 1-5). If a man trespass, be surprised in a sin, be caught in the very act, or surprised into committing a sin, "ye which are spiritual" (literally, guided and governed by the spirit; ch. 5:16-25) are to restore such a one. This is to be done, not by cutting off or casting aside the erring one, but as a dislocated limb is restored to its place, so we are to "restore" that one to his place as a believer; each believer being a member of the body of Christ (I Cor. 12:12, 14, 27); one who falls into sin is a dislocated limb or member, and the stronger ones are to restore him to his proper place. This must be done, however, not with any sense of our own infallibility, but in meekness, gentleness and with great tenderness. (See II Tim. 2:24-26). Paul's reason for this, "lest thou also be tempted" should lay low the pride any of us who have not fallen might feel (v. 1; Math. 7:2-5; Jas. 2:13). Instead of exclaiming, "I could never have done any such act," we ought rather to say, "But for the grace of God I might have done even worse than that." (I Cor. 10:13). The burdens (v. 2) or weights which we are to bear are not the unnecessary details of the Mosaic law (Math. 23:4; Acts 15:10) but rather they are the temptations, weaknesses and failures of others. The master "came not to be ministered unto but to minister" and was "tempted in all points," "touched with a feeling of our infirmities" and in our thus sharing with each other we but follow in his steps (Ch. 5:4; John 13:34, 15:12; Romans 15:3). This is the "law of Christ," not onerous, not a grievous burden, not necessarily an obligation, but a "law" because he, our "file leader," fully and perfectly exemplifies it (Phil. 2:5-8). It is chiefly self-concet and spiritual pride (v. 3) which stands in the way of gentle forbearance in dealing with our erring brothers. Such pride does not usually deceive others (Jas. 1:22-24) and he who is so controlled, "decelveth himself." II. "Whatsoever a Man Sowth" vv. 6-8. While each must so bear his burden, yet those who are taught are to help those who teach to bear their burdens by contributing "in all good things" (Rom. 15:27; I Cor. 9:11-14). Paul sounds a solemn warning to those who refuse thus to help forward the work of righteousness, those who fail to support others and think that their selfishness will accrue to their advantage. (v. 7). The natural world has many illustrations of this immutable law. Men may mock (sneer at) this law, but find eventually that there is no escape from its operation. This law has many applications. The one in the context is, first, a physical one (v. 8), a most familiar one to us all. The same is true spiritually, and has been repeatedly illustrated throughout the history of the Christian church. (II Cor. 9:56; Prov. 11:24). In all of our actions, physical mental moral, social and spiritual, we reap what we sow; like in kind, sown sparingly we reap sparingly; abundantly, and we reap in abundance. M. "We-Shall Reap, If We Faint Not" vv. 9-18. Paul now proceeds to make the practical application. If we act under the leadership of the Spirit (See ch. 5:16-25) we avoid carnal mindedness, and we are sowing to the Spirit and of the Spirit (who is life John 6:6; II Cor. 2:6), we shall reap "life eternal," i.e. life which is end in duration and divine in its essence: There must be, however, persistence. We must not withhold the good seed nor refrain from sowing it if we are to reap the reward suggested in verses nine and ten. If we do so withhold, or should, we sow ought but the "good seed," we will surely reap the awful harvest suggested in verses 7 and 8. Temporal weariness or discouragement will not excuse us for any negligence. Nor are we to be impatient for "in due season," in God's time (I Tim. 6:14, 15) we shall reap; not perhaps immediately, but the issue is certain. Some fall to reap because of laxity; others continue cultivation too long: still others, by overlooking their "opportunity" to do good (v. 10) and houses having not sown, they cannot reap. Paul suggests (v. 12) that the sowing of which he speaks is not for any soward show, nor for conformity to the睾丸 and regulations of man in order to avoid persecution (v. 13, 14, 15). Questions of Man— Replies by God By REV. B. B. SUTCLIFFE Extension Department Moody Bible Institute of Chicago TEXT—Only believe.—Mark 5:31. Suppose a minister is preaching on the word "believe." A member of the audience suddenly begins to ask question and the minister answers in words from the Scripture. The first question is: Whom Am I to Believe? "If we receive the witness of man the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his son." I John 5:9. It is not the church, nor can any PETER H. nor the minister, nor any company of men the sinner is to believe, but it is God himself as he speaks concerning his son. There might possibly be some hesitation in believing what man would say, but there can be no hesitancy in accepting the testimony of such a credible witness as God. The sinner is asked to believe none except the God of the Scriptures. Then another question is immediately asked, vis: What Am I to Believe? God's own answer to this is "he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave his son. And this is the record that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his son," I John 5:10, 11. That record is the gospel concerning God's son, Jesus Christ, who was delivered for our offenses, who died for our sins according to the Scriptures, who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, and who was raised from the dead the third day according to the Scriptures. This is what God declares concerning his son, and this is what the sinner must believe in order to have God's gift of eternal life. I am to believe, on the authority of God's own testimony, that Christ died for my sins and that he rose from the dead and ever liveth to make intercession for me. The questioner asks a third question, viz: Why Am I to Believe? Because God commands it. "And this is his commandment, that we should believe on the name of his son, Jesus Christ," I John: 3:23. Again, because a refusal to believe is the same as calling God a liar—"he that believeth not God hath made him a liar." I John: 5:10. Again because it is the only way to please God—"for without faith it is impossible to please him." Heb. 11:6. Again because the refusal to believe seals one's own doom. "He that believeth shall be saved and he that believeth not shall be damned." Mk. 16:16. Still another question is asked, vis: God's answer to this question is very direct, for he says, "Now is the accepted time, behold today is the day of salvation," II Cor. 6:2. Again, he says, "Today if ye will hear his voice harden not your heart," Heb. 3:7. We are continually warned not to procrastinate, "Boast not myself of tomorrow for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth," Prov. 27:1. "Not today" has brought many a soul to cry "To late." "Many will seek to enter in and shall not be able when once the master of the house has risen up and hath shut to the door," Mk. 13:24. 25. Not tomorrow, but today is your day of salvation. Another question is then asked, vis: May I Believe as I am? God answers this by saying, "Him that cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out," John 6:37. "To him that worketh not but believeth on him that justifeth the ungodly his faith is counted for righteousness," Rom. 4:5. Again he says, "Whosoever will may come and take of the water of life freely," Rev. 22:17. The only class who can be saved is sinners. If one waits to become good before believing that, one will never be saved. The sinner is to believe just as he is—good, bad or indifferent. Can I Be Saved If I Don't Believe? As we listen God replies, "Without faith it is impossible to please him." Heb. 11:6. When Peter stood before the leaders in Jerusalem they suggested practically the same question and the reply was then and still is. "Nother is there salvation in any other for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved," Acta. 4:12. "He that believeth not shall be damned," Mk. 16:16. There is none saved except through faith for "By grace are ye saved through faith." Eph. 2:8. One last question is asked. vls: And to this God answers, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved," Acts 16:31. "He that believeth on the son is not condamned," John 3:18. "He that believeth hath everlasting life and shall not come into judgment, but is passed from death unto life." John 4:24.

THEATRES STRAIN AND BAILEY COMPANY MAKE BIG HIT AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATRE The Strain and Bailey, Stock Company, featuring Tim Moore, the comedian, are keeping the audiences in a hilarious spasm at the Booker Washington Theatre this week. The show opens with a drama entitled "I'm a Man," which displays a man's faithlessness to his wife. It's a vivid portrayal of domestic troubles and makes a decided impression on the audiences. An olio of specialties follows, which includes dances, songs and a chorus by the company rendering Benton Overstreet's "Summer." The final piece, "Her First Step in Sin," is really not a step at all, but a rescue from sin. A determined little Miss is saved, by a series of coincidents from marrying a villainous gent who already has a wife. The climaxes are sensational, affording much excitement and vociferous applause. Besides Tim Moore, the cast includes his wife, Gertie, Dock Strain, Harry Jackson, Frank King, Edna Young, Evelyn Carter and Cornie.Bailey. All are good performers and fit well into the interesting program of numbers. Next Week Next week this company will present a one act domestic comedy "The New Butler," an olio of up-to-date songs and dances, and a western Indian and cowboy drama entitled, "Loud Thunder's Revenge." THE SOCIAL PIRATES Regardless of the rain, the first episode of "The Social Pirates," a series of completed short stories, drew a crowded house to the Booker Washington Theatre Wednesday night. These pictures will be shown every Wednesday. Each is complete within itself. SYNOPSIS OF EPISODE NO. 2 "The Corsican Sisters" In this episode "The Corsican Sisters," Mona and Mary, masquerading as Corsican girls, enmesh a blaze young man of wealth who is noted for his affairs with women. Briefly, each girl makes the man think she is in danger of her life. Mona is supposed to kill Mary in a jealous rage. The man is made to appear as an accomplice. He pays handsomely to escape scandal. The theme deals with the hot blood and fiery tempers of the supposed Corsican girls and the subterfuge they practice to make the man believe a real enmity exists between them.

Foster's team had won two games when the Argus went to press; one 7 to.3, the other 8 to 4. Saturday's game will start at 3:15. A big half holiday crowd is expected. As was predicted, the Giants found a hard nut to crack in the Mount Olives, last Sunday, and it was not until the seventh inning that Wallace, Lyons and company got a glimpse of first base. Jimmie Lyons started a miniature merry-go-round that netted two runs. Another was counted in the eighth and the game stood when finished 3 to 0 and several hundred fans breathed a sigh of relief. The Jefferson Barracks Post Team promises the Giants a peppery reception at next Sunday's game and Mills' team will have all it can do to retain the toga in these diggin's. ST.

Heredity is a great force, one of the greatest in the world. But it is possible to overlook even heredity, and some zealous doctors, legislators and social reformers are doing it, asserts the Chicago Journal. As a sample of the pitfalls into which they tumble, consider this true story. A doctor, who is also one of the ablest psychologists in the United States, had for a patient a young woman of extreme, morbid nervousness. Her mother showed precisely similar traits, and a little investigation revealed the fact that the grandmother was as irritable and excitable as any of her descendants. It looked like a clear case of heredity, but the doctor was cautious. He inquired a little farther—and then, threw away his notes. The young woman, her mother and her grandmother were all excessive users of coffee; regular coffee toppers. They absorbed enough of this delightful drink every day to put an edge on the nerves of an athlete. Their nervousness was not an inheritance, but the result of an unconscious drug habit. If legislatures were as careful as the doctor-psychologist in this story, there would be fewer fool laws on our statute books. That Made Them Pay. "A small tradesman once put up the following, sign in his shop: "Please don't ask for credit, as a refusal often offends." Finding that this had little effect and that his credit book was attaining great proportions, he resolved on trying another plan, and immediately fixed up another notice in place of the former one: "The names and addresses of all those who buy goods at this shop, and don't pay for them, can be seen in the credit book on payment of a fee of ten cents." The result was miraculous. Not only did the curious pay their ten cents by the dozen, but those owing accounts speedily settled them until the credit book was a thing of the past. The oldest dining club in England—older even than "The Club"—is the Dilettanti club, founded in 1734 by Sir Francis Dashwood. Prominent among the original members was Lord Sandwich, whose name is crystallized in half a dozen languages through his ordering a waiter to place some meat between two slices of bread and bring it to him as he sat at the gaming table. Since 1784 the Dilettanti have dined together on the first Sunday of each month from February to July, inclusive, their present meeting place being the Grafton galleries, where their magnificent collection of pictures is housed—London Chronicle. Remembered Old Habit. H. Gassaway Davis, once a United States senator and later candidate for vice president on the Parker ticket, was a brakeman before he became a millionaire and is said on one historic occasion, while sleeping soundly in the senate chamber, to have dreamed that he was still guiding an unruly freight car through the mountains of West Virginia. The dream was inspired by a nearby colleague, Senator Allen G. Thurman, who blew two mighty blasts on his nose. Davis thinking he had heard the freight whistle, setted his desk as if it were a brake and nearly twisted the thing from its moorings before he came to. A man who employed a number of boys to pick strawberries was quite anxious to protect them from mosquitoes, so he had veils made to tie down around the neck. The boys were very grateful for his kindness until they found that there were no mosquitoes in that locality, and also that they couldn't eat any berries with those veils on. The "protection" was of another sort.—Pittsburgh Press. Old Dining Club. Protection. ASTKAL DEAD TRANCE SPIRIT MEDIUM WITH A DOUBLE VEIL Standing Challenge $5,000 for His Equil.

Strangely fascinating are the words that come from the cultivated lips of this most interesting man whose journey of life has already taken him through all the re- psychical schools of Egypt, India and Europe. It seems indeed, as if his knowledge must come from a world of which we all would know, yet longing, cannot know.
