coon WORK BY AN EX-SLA VE.

Though some of the negroes in the South are not yet evolved to the point where they can make good cotton-mill hands there are others who have got along faster. One of them is Robert R. Church, who lives in Memphis and has made himself rich MT. Church has been struck with a happy thought, and he has put it into execution. He has contributed $1, 900 for the entertainment of the Confederate veterans at their annual reunion in Memphis in May next. Church was born slave in Mis- sissippi and spent his early days on a Mississippi steamboat, of which his master was the owner and captain. Here he worked his way to the position of steward of the boat, in which posi- ton he was serving when his boat was captured during the war and taken to Memphis. Here he became a popular caterer and amassed large fortune. When interviewed in regard to his gift Church said he had made his money in Memphis and he wanted to see the city do itself credit ir the entertainment of the veterans. He added: "No per- sons on earth are more disposed to help the former slaves than are the veterans of the Confederacy, those old men who yet remember the negro in slavery" Hon. John Overton, a leading citizen of Memphis, :n a letter of thanks to the generous donor says: q have never seen a more striking act to show what should be the real genuine feeling be- tween the races here and to prove be- yond the question of doubt what should be done in cementing and build

Large deposits of magnesite have been found in southern India, and the officers of a Portland cement works at Madras have succeeded in producing white cement plaster which has mag nesium for a basis. This cement can be used for plastering walls, and dries so speedily that rooms are ready for oc- cupancy within forty-eight hours. It can be painted or else colored by mix ing coloring matter, and it is extreme 1y valuable from sanitary standpoint, as 1t can be washed down. The cement is as hard as Portland cement, while at the same time it can be moulded like plaster of Paris. It is thought that the material, which can be used either in- doors or outside will play an important part in house. building in India.

Joseph Fielding Smith, who has

Church. was born at Far West, Mo-,
on Nov. 10, 1888, and is the nephew of
Joseph Smith, the Mormon prophet. He
drove an OK wagon in the exodus of
1916 to winter quarters on the Mis-
souri, river. He crossed the plains to
Salt Lake two years later and worked
as laborer. He rose rapidly to the
councils of the Mormon Church, and
was for three years a missionary to
the Sandwich Islands. He was made
Sergeant at Arms of the Territorial
Legislature in 1858, and was ordained
to one of the Seventies" soon after.
Later he was ordained a high priest
and member of the High Council. From
1874 to 1877 Mr.. Smith was a mission
airy to England and presided over the
European mission of his church. He
also edited The Millennia1 Star. He
was several times a legislator in Utah

Mr.. James Jackson of Cambridge,
Mass, finds himself in a peculiar po-
sition. He desires to be a good Ameri-
can by adoption and a good church
member, but has been informed that
he cannot be both. Mr.. Jackson was
born in Scotland. In order to become
an American, therefore, he had to take
the oath of allegiance. In the oath the
subscriber swears that he will support
the constitution of the United States.
Arriving in Boston Mr.. Jackson made
application for membership in the Sec
opd Reformed Presbyterian Church,
Rev. ]. M. Foster, pastor. He was re-
ceived; but upon Rev. Mr.. Foster as
certaining that he was a citizen by
adoption, he suspended Mr.. Jackson
from membership. Mr.. jackson then
went to Cambridge and applied for
membership in the First Reformed
Presbyterian Church at that place.
Rev. Mr.. Foster followed him with a
protest, which was allowed by the
Cambridge church.
The preachers reason for denying
Mr.. Jackson the sacraments and COM
forts of the Reformed Presbyterian
Church was that he had sworn allegi-
ance to the constitution of the United
States. Asked about the matter Rev.
Mr.. Foster said: I'VE look upon the
Constitution of the United States as
an immoral document and as an in
suit to the Almighty. in that it makes
no mention whatever of God, and
claims for the people that sovereign
power which belongs to God alone. We
refuse to accept the constitution thus
defective, and cannot swear allegiance
to it. do not think there is anything
in the suggestion that has been made
that Mr.. Jackson can go to law and
compel us to admit him to member
ship in our church"
That there is a church organization
"a Presbyterian Church organization
in this country holding such peculiar
views will no doubt be news to the
great majority of church people II
Mr.. Foster and his congregation regard
the constitution as an immoral docu-
ment and refuse their allegiance TO it,
they are at heart aliens. The consti-
tuition is the best fundamental law ever
written. Under it the best government
in the world has sprung up and -four
ished. Under II religious freedom such
as Is found nowhere else on the globe
is enjoyed by the people. II is true
that no mention Of God is contained
In the document but there is no de-
NAL OF him, and the way is left open
for the widest range Of human con-
science. This may be called a Chris
tian nation and a God fearing nation:
al the same time there is no interdlc-
ton upon the worship Of Allah. or
buddha or the sun, or even a craven
image. We have an entire separation
OF politics ana religion. ana u has

1t Was His Turn.

When Mr.. Neverwell came down to
breakfast one morning recently, says
Leslie's Weekly, his face wore that
sadly drawn down expression indicat-
ing that something was wrong with
his physical man, and when he drew
UP to the table he gave vent to a slight
sigh. When his coffee and cakes were
set before him he dallied for time
before eating, but at length began
slowly to put away a comfortable
meal.
AS he was finishing his third cake he

And venture thee in ways unknown,

In armor such as mortals know,
To wrestle thro' the unresting years
With sins and sorrows, foes and fears

To fight beneath my Fathers eyes!
Thou, Lord, my perls proudly past,
Shall crown me victor at the last"

Knocked humbly at the heaven gate,
With dinted helm and broken sword
And downcast head before the Lord.
'"Thro' mist and storm, Thy will I
sought;
Witness my wounds that have fought;
The unequal strife was fierce and long,
Alas! I bring no triumph song!

Against the cunning Foes designs,

Fold that poor bleeding soul to rest;
