BISHOP GAINES TALKS
OF TRUE EDUCATION
BETHEL a M. E. CHURCH
CROWDED.
The Prelate Utters Gems of Wisdom
Amid Rapt Attention-Morn-
ing Session.

Bishop Wesley John Gaines delivered
his annual lecture last night at the Bethel
African Methodist Episcopal Church, cor
ner of Powell and Jackson streets, before
the thrty-second annual conference of
the Afro-American Methodist Episcopal
Church. The Bishops lecture was an un-
usual treat and the church was crowded
with interested listeners. He spoke on
the subject of Christian education, and
during the course Of his lecture Bishop
Gaines uttered many gems of wisdom and
thought.
In part he said 1.-THE education of our
young men should be one of the first
duties of the true Christian. They should
for all education that leaves God and the
Bible out of its curriculum is wrong.
Christian education is powerful agency
Of good. 1t is a priceless gem which
lights our path through life A young
man is like a growing plant. If a plant
is not nourished it dies. So with young
man. If he is not properly educated all
the good in him is liable to wither. In
God-Ioving man he should be given spir-
ituaI nourishment. Let our young be
given the food of truth goddess edu-
cation takes from our sons cherished
hope and leaves them nothing. They
have nothing for them to lean on when
they appear before the Almighty on judg-
ment day. When you crowd out the
Holy Spirit you ruin your church and
you ruin your young man.
The morning session of the conference
was devoted to the transaction of routine
business Tt was called to order by Bishop
Gaines Rev. J. F. Anderson of Colusa
led the devotional exercises. The after
noon session was devoted to the Mission
ary Society. Addresses were made by
Rev. D. r: Jones; Rev j. Edwards and
Rev. K. n. Hardiman.

Pittsburg, made some speed tests of the
Cleveland bearings lately and found that
the regular hub, fitted with ordinary
every day kind of bah bearings, ran Is. 900
revolutions per minute, and then heated
and ground to pieces. The Cleveland hub,
hearings, attained speed of $1,000 revo-
lutions a minute for one hour without
being affected. This proof alone Is
enough to convince the most skeptical
that the Burwell bearing is the fastest
speed bearing in the world, because fric-
ton, is almost an unknown quantity.

country yesterday, did no damage as
far as learned. The streets were wash

the downfall was the heaviest seen here

AID TO STREET Cf>gANING.

\ One of the angels who was indus
triously shoveling away at the, corner
Of Woodward and Gratoit avenues, the
other morning, suddenly dropped his
implements and darted away from the
spot as If he had come unawares upon
a nest OF hornets. But he had not.
The cause of his unceremonious be-
havior was that last delivery wagon
that went by. 1t bounced and bound
ed on a slight obstruction at the cor
ner, swung around rather quickly, and
a package was dropped out at the hack.
When the package struck the pavement
the angel" white suit and all,
pounced upon 1t. The package con-
tanned nothing more or less than
candy. OF course the paper broke with
the force OF the fall, and the sweets
were scattered over the pavement. Oh,
what a harvest. The angel kept both
hands busy raking up the pieces and
stuffing them into his pockets at once,
until they stood out on his clothes like
toothache-cheeks. But he was mo-,

windfall. A flock of small boys, in the
exact number of lot of English spar
rows, swooped down upon him and
eagerly swept the pavement with him
Then the driver of the wagon came
back ON foot to recover his property
Alas, there was only little candy left
in the paper. This he picked up, while
the angel and the sparrows turned
on him faces filled with the utmost
contempt "rhe idea," they seemed u
say, "of man being mean enough t.
spoil good thing like this and pick
ing up the stuff that has once fallen in
to the dirty street" But when the
driver had gone away and the small
boys had dispersed, and the angel had
reluctantly returned to work, it was re-
marked that that part of the street
had never before been so Clean

WASHING DISHES.

OF all the many duties that fall to
woman's lot that of washing dishes is,
without an exception, most abhorred.
Yet there Is no reason why 1t should be
so. 1t is not dirty. sloppy work UNI
less it be made so by carelessness, and
there is no reason why the hands
should be ruined in the process.
The chief things required to make
dish washing a pleasure are care, order
and plenty Of hot water and soap. The
dishes when removed from the table
should not be piled up in the sculiery
in an indiscrininate mass-pots, ket-
ties, pans, glassware, silver and plates.
Let each OF its kind be put together.
All cooking utensils should have been
replaced upon the range and filled with
water, and thus allowed TO soak until
the time comes for cleaning them.
There should be receptacle In which
to place all the waste scraps as they
are scraped from the plates. They
should be then piled up neatly TO one
side The most important thing In
dish washing Is to have plenty OF hot
water, use sufficient soap, and have a
dishcloth or mop and drying towels in
ample supply.
Begin with the glassware and follow
with the tea things, then the spoons,
knives and forks, and so on, till all are
washed and set up neatly to drain.
When drying do not try to make one
towel do 1t ALL When 1t becomes too
wet to dry well, put It on one side and
take a fresh one
