BAPTIST BRETHREN
Rev. DR.. Whitsitt Delivers the Jubi-
lee Address.
TODAY'S SESSION OF TIE CONVENTION
A Decision in Favor of the Tithing
System.
INTERESTING REMARK S

The second day Of the Southern Baptist
convention began at o'clock this morning
at the First Baptist Church in the presence
of a large gathering, in which were many
women, a number of them members of the
local churches, but more of them friends
and relatives of the delegates to the con-
vention.
The session was opened with a brief re-
ligious service; after which Rev. DR.. Nun
nally introduced a resolution providing for
the appointment OF a church building board.
The resolution was referred to the proper
committee for consideration.
The Committee on Tfthing.
The report of the committee on tithing
was then read by DR.. F. M. Ellis. The re-
port, after speaking at some length of the
workings of the tithing system, concluded
as follows:
is paying the preacher, is paying pew
rent, benevolence? No; no more than pay
ing your doctor or your house rent is
benevolence. 1t is simply honesty. If our
people would adopt Gods law of the tenth
for few years for benevolence they would
have done with the present haphazard,

We've sold many a hundred yards the

stock-or so much of it-and SO much va

And prices:-You know them-by far the
lowest in the city, considering quality
and quality in every yard. No other Wash
ington houses-few other national houses
buy In such large quantities as we;-that's
why you always find our prices lowest.

These are roll prices, and each roll con-
tains 40 yards, which is sufficient to cover

slipshod ways of giving. Were Co.'s plan
ours there would be an end to the present
shameful advertising of the indifference
and poverty OF our churches. If we would
have the New Testament blessing in CIV
ing, it must have the New Testament con-
secration. Why not be as sound and
scriptural in our giving as we are in our
articles of faith:
Your committee recommend the adop-
ton of the tithing system, and that our
several state conventions, district associa-
tions, the pastors. churches and mission
ary societies give earnest heed and active
cooperation in their efforts to educate our
people in paying Systematically to God not
less than one-tenth of their income"
The report of the committee and the gen.
eral subject of systematic benevolence was
discussed at some length by Rev E. Y
Mullins of Baltimore. Tithing, he said
is not Judaistic, but as fundamental as the
law of the Sabbath-one-seventh of our
time devoted entirely to the Lords work
There is but little more than anarchy in
the average system of giving. The go-as-
you-please plan has 10 place in the doing
of our duty. Blasting and mildew did not
&C eme upon the fields of Gods chosen peo-
pie until by their blasphemy they had sent
blasting and mildew upon His treasury.
Hard times do not cause depleted treasures
as much as depleted treasures cause hard
times. Said Mr.. Mullins: There was more
sense i'll that question of Malachi of old
Will man rob God?' than there was in
all the last Congress"

SAVING MONEY,


Fitting Out Physicians to the Poor
. With Drugs.
One Of the largest special items of ex-
pense in the District government hereto
fore has been the cost Of drugs for the
poor. Several times within the past year
the physicians to the poor have been direct
ed to be more conservative in prescribing
Tor the reason that the fund for this work
was low. Health Officer Woodward has
hit upon plan which will materially re-
duce the cost Of prescriptions and at the
same time answer every requirement
He has decided to fit out each physician
TO the poor with a pocket case. containing
triturateS OF the drugs most commonly
employed In minor disorders He figures
a large saving by this method. AS an
example. he cites the cost of compound
cathartic pills, which he buys In bulk at 90
cents per thousand. To write 125 pre-
scriptions containing pills each the drug
gist who compounds for the poor charges
$lS.75. In this one item alone the District
would save $1S.16. There are any number
Of examples cited by DR.. Woodward, which
show conclusively that the District will
be benefited by the change.
Each ono Of the new pocket cases Is neat
ly finished in black leather, with COM
partments fo- a dozen bottles Of triturate.
Another thing advantageous about the
new scheme Is that the physician can ad-
minister the medicine at once and lose no
time In having prescription compounded.

PHYSICIANS TO THE POOR.

They VIII In Future Have to Pass an
Examination.
Directly in line with their intention to
apply civil service to the District govern
nent as far as possible. the Commissioners
today approved a recommendation Of the
health officer. which takes In the physi-
clans to the poor, and compels applicants
for such positions to pass a competitive
examination.
There Is perhaps no position SO eagerly

for the young practitioner to acquire the

of a practice.
Health Officer Woodward's recommends
tion, which has been approved by the Com
missioners and issued today as an order.
says:
THAT the board to examine practitioners
of regular medicine seeking appointment as
physicians to the poor be composed of the at
tending physician to NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
the medical sanitary inspector of the health
department one member of the board of
pharmacy and one member of the board
of police surgeons. The questions should
be prepared and answers examined and
marked by this board. The examination
itself should be conducted by clerks from
the health department. Candidates pass
ing successfully the written examination
should be required. as practical test Of
their ability. to examine and to diagnose
and outline proposed treatment for one or
mere patients at some public hospital or
dispensary.
'The only homeopathic physicians in the
employ of the District are those in the very
clsss for which it Is proposed to hold an
Examination. 1t is therefore impossible to
constitute q suitable board of homeopathic
examiners. and recommend that candi-
dates Of this class for the present be ap-
pointed without examination"
This action was evidently taken in view
of the fact that within a short time a num-
ber of vacancies will exist in these posi-
tions. The lncumbents were appointed for
three years and their term Of service il
nearly completed.

PASSES Away.
CHICAGO, August 7.-George F. Root,
the noted composer, died at Baileys Island.
Me-, yesterday at o'clock. His death was
unexpected.
George Frederick Root was born at Shef-
held. Berkshire county, Mass, August 30,

struction in the public schools of the city
and was also director Of music in two
churches.
He then went to New York and soon was
occupied in teaching music at various edu-
cational Institutions.
In 1850 he went to Paris, where he spent
a year In study. After his return he pub
lished In 1853 his first song, Hazel Dell,''
as the work of "Wurzel." the German
equivalent Of his family name, and the
same pen name appeared on many of his
later pieces.
Many of the numerous songs that Dr.
Root wrote have achieved a national popu-
larity.
He was the originator Of the normal
musical Institutes and when the first one
was held at New York, in 1852, he was
one Of the faculty. Since 1860 he resided
IN Chicago. where. In 1872. the degree of

sides his numerous songs he composed
collections Of vocal and instrumental
music.
