THE RECORD MADE.
Statistics of Freedman's Aid and
Education society.

The Freedmen's Aid and Southern Educa-
ton Society has selected the anniversary of
President Lincoln's birthday, February II,
Sunday next, as its special day for the
presentation to the church of its work
among the freedmen and whites of the
south.
In a circular issued on the subject, by the
officers, it is said:
THE selection of the day named is ap-
propriate for Abraham Lincoln was q
product of the poor whites of the south,
among whom and for whom much of the
work of the society is being done.
No historian will ever De able to fully
record the great work which the Freed
mems Aid and Southern Education Society
has done for the education and moral and
religious elevation OF the peop4e among
whom it has labored durlag the past TWEEN
ty-nve years. 1t is probable that not less
than 100 700 persons have reCelN ed an edu-
cation in the forty-hVe or fifty institutions
which it supports or assists, ana these
students have been scattered throughout
the south, more than II 900 OF them becom-
ing teachers and ali giving the communities
in which they found their homes the benent
of the culture and Inspiration which their
education has given them 1t is a notable
fact that there are few cases in which these
students have not conducted themselves IN
a manner worthy O. the institution they at
tended, and it is stated, with pride, that no
one of the many negroes accused of crime
and lynched in the sou,4- ever ATTENDED one
of these schools.
1.-The sacrifices which have been made by
both teachers and pupils to sustain aud at
tend these schools have been such as to in
dicate nobility of character of which any
persons or race may well be proud. With
the teachers it has been a labor of love,
and not a few have given their entire
meager salaries to assist students in their
efforts to secure an education that would
hit them for useful service to others.
In6 rial
larger institutions. In them students have
an opportunity to work and contribute TO
their support. The main building of Claflin
University was erected by the young ma
sons and carpenters who had studied in
the school.
Notwithstanding the great work which
the society has performed during this first
quarter of the century, the need for the
work is almost as great 5 it ever has been.
1t is true that no race of people is as total
Iy ilIterare as il was Immediately after the
emancipa ton of the slave; but there are
now a larger number of people in the south
who can neither read nor write than were
emancipaIed by President Lincoln. This
number does not include the children born
during the last three years. Most of these
illiterates are negroes, but many are poor
whites who possess the natural qualities or
mind and character which gave to the ma
tion such great men as Abraham Lincoln,
Andrew jackson and other poor but amhi-
tious youths, who secured an education by
such sacrifice and effort as other whites
and blacks i'll the south are making todaV
From these educated young people are TO
come southern leaders in church, in politics

Mr.. HaVemeyer said his legal residence

subpoena had been served on him, and that
he was only assessed on personal property
here, but Recorder Goff said emphatically:
You'll serve as a juror
'All right I'll serve" said Mr. Have
meyer, but I'd like to be excused today"
Recorder Gof said jurors were shown
every courtesy, and that he would excuse
Mr.. HaVemeyer. He also remitted the 500
fine.
Il think this will be quite a novelty"
said Mr.. Havemeyer as he left.
The city will thus have millionaire Juror

CHURCH CONGRESS.
Disciples of Christ to Meet in Na-
tiOnal Convention.

Rev. Dr. Power, pastor of the Vermont
Avenue Christian Church, this city, has
accepted an invitation to take part in a
national congress of the Disciples of
Christ in st. Louis, April 1927. The pro-
gram embraces the general departments of
education, evangelizaton, organization.
worship, Bible study. theology and litera-
ture. Many of the ablest thinkers of tie
denomination have places on the program,
and it is expected that this congress will
be the beginning of a succession of such
gatherings, held bennially or trienniaily.
The Disciples of Christ, while eschewing
creeds and human bonds of union and COM
munion, have never shown any disinclina-
ton to theological and ecclesiastical discus
sion. They have always sought to attain
to clearness of thought and expression on
all problems connected with theology, soci-
ology and ecclesiology DIR. Power will
preside and deliver address at one of the
sessions of the congress.
Among the most prosperous missionary
organizations of this country and whose
affairs will, it is expected, occupy a consid-
cradle share of the attention of the con-
gress is the Foreign Christian Missionary
Society, an organization of the Christian
Church Disciples of Christi. During the
last five years its receipts have been more
than doubled, and last year they reached
$130 ,925. Missions have been planted by
the Christian Church in India China,
Japan, Africa, Turkey, Scandinavia and
England. One of the most important steps
taken recently is the planting of churches
in Cuba. Two missionaries will be sent to
Havana soon A mission will be planted
under the shadow of MORO Castle. This
religious body has 204 missionaries in for
eign lands, and a number more will be sent
out this year. The annual Offering in all
the churches of this communion for foreign
missions is the first Sunday in March
In only about seventy-five years this peo-
pie have come to number more than 000,-
600 communicates in this country alone.
Last year they made a gain of no less than
80, 900, and their war cry this year is a
gain of 100000. They have more than TO-
900 churches and about 5000 ministers
They are building up number of splendid
educational institutions in different parts
Of the country. Last year for all mis-
sions they raised more than S500000. They
are calling for $100O,000 this year, with
every prospect of success.
The jubilee of their organized missionary
work is to be observed October 1919 of
this year at Cincinnati, Ohio, where the
American Christian Missionary Society
was organized for home and foreign mis-
sons in 1S49 Alexander Campbell was the
first president
Fully 10000 delegates are expected to at
tend the jubilee convention. The great
Music Hall of Cincinnati has already been

DO TELEPHONES CARRY GERMS.
President Murphy, New York Board of
Health, Investigating.

The New York Herald of today says:
President Murphy Of the board of health
yesterday sent out ten inspectors to exam
inc public telephones, to determine whether
they are centers for the dissemination of
disease germs. DR.. Murphy believes they
are. If the inspection indicates the pres
ence of germs measures will be taken for
making the Instruments asceptic.
Many complaints have been made to DR..
Murphy recently in regard to the dirty con-
dition of public telephones. Recent Euro
pean investigation has shown that disease
germs easily find lodgment in the receivers
and transmitters. -
Then telephones most often in use will be
tried for germs by the inspectors. They
will rub the various Ipartssof me instrument
with absorbent cotton, which they will
place in envelopes properly labeled This
cotton will be returned to the board of
health and cultures made from it in the
