LETTER TO REV. w. T. FORSYTHE.


Dear Sir: In making pastoral visits, of
course, you do not consider your pleasure
or comfort or ease; you go where your
people live. But you have two sets of
feelings in going abOut-can't help it
we all have. But you especially have
for part of your business is sympathy.
Well-kept lawns and well-tilled fields,
nice homes and nice people, are cheerful
to you, as they are 10 everyone. Tum-
bIe-down buildings, poor fences, men
harrassed by burdens too heavy for them,
overworked women, and dirty-faced
children. you may be strong to get on
with; but you would be more than hu-
man to find inspiration in misery.
Paint divides the two sorts of people {:
one paints, and the other don't. Or, per-
haps, the thrifty paint well; the un-
thrifty paint i'll.
TO paint well is to keep paint sound.
There are two ways to do it: one is bound
to paint often; the other to use good
pairt.
1t costs about half as much to paint
Devoe as to paint lead and oil ; for Devoe
lasts twice as long and cost no more
indeed it costs less, but not much less.
The thrifty and comfortable have the
art of using money more wisely. How
lucky they are! how happy
Yours truly,

everything was right. Then, putting
his coat over his head, he called out,

out and ran hurrying in to the small

hearty slap on the back.
With a shake and a jump over went

Harry. But never mind. I'm TO have

There was no need to tell Gerald to

PRINCE IN CHICAGO.
Enthusiastic Reception by the
Mayor and Citizens.
EVENING CROWDED WITH EVENTS.
banquet with Stnte and city Lead
ers, Choral Festival by Sons of
Germany and a Grand Hall
ut the Auditorium.

CHICAGO. March IA glare of red
fire that could be seen for miles. the
blaze of hundreds of torches, the spar
kle of myriads of electric lights and
the cheers of thousands of people
made up the first taste of Chicago's
hospitality that was given to Prince
Henry of Prussia upon his arrival in
this city last evening. His train ar
rived at the depot of the Chicago and
Alton railroad at $50 o'clock. and from
there. after he had been formally wei
coined by Mayor Harrison and the
Prince Henry rode through streets
packed with Il dense multitude.
In the same carriage with the prince
were Mayor Harrison and Admiral
Evans, and the drive to the hotel occu-
pied about thirty minutes.
At the door of the hotel the prince
was met by f. Willis Rice and Mil
ward Adams of the banquet committee
and escorted to the second floor of the
hotel.
The prince was in his room but few
minutes when Mr. Rice and Mr.. Adj
nms called for him. and the party, fol-
lowed by the members of the princes
suit, went at once to the banquet hall.
The Chicagoans had all preceded them,
and after the prince, escorted by May

entered the hall they made the room
ring with their cheers.
The prince seemed greatly pleased at
the warmth of his welcome and bowed
Innd smiled repeatedly, and after he
had taken his seat he nodded right and
left to his entertainers as they seated
themselves.
There were nine tables at the ban
quot. and, including Prince Henry and
his suit. 1J1 people were seated. There
were but three toasts offered.
1t was shortly after o'clock when
die prince and his suit entered their
carriages at the Auditorium hotel for
their drive to the armory where the
choral festival by the German citi-
zens was held. The drive was almost
an even mile in length
The chief event of the stay of the
prince in Chicago was the grand ball
held in the Auditorium. 1t was per-
hapS the most magnificent social event
ever witnessed in this city, surprising
even the great ball given in honor of
Admiral Dewey two years ago.

ON WATCH FOR IMPosTERs
Police VIII Investigate Before Re-
spending to Pleas for Aims
This winter.

Impostors upon charity will find that they
will have very poor luck in running the
gauntlet which will be established this win
ter in the distribution of aims among those
who ask for aid from the police department
For the last few days there have been sent
to Captain Mostyn and to The Bee Office
letters the purport of which is that the
writer knows of certain needy persons to
whom assistance would be a blessing. Upon
sending an ofncer to the addresses given in
the letters Captain Mostyn has discovered
that several of the families so mentioned
we're supplied with such neccesaries as
would provide them against want. The cap
tain is taking steps to determine the author
of these letters.
1--WE have found that the writer Of these
letters claimed the same address as fam
lilies who have been given help" said the
captain. I'VE will have a severe winter tu
face and the department will endeavor to
investigate all cases where aims or assist
ance are solicited. That impositions have
occurred in the past makes 1t necessary for
us to use special diligence against theiI
repetition. TIE mayor received a letter
this morning from the same person who
wrote The Bee letter, but we find the con-
ditions which she named to be greatly mag
nifled."

more in evidence than the sons Of the

equal consideration for all, the least that
can be done is to recognize for the latter

CHRISTIAN BELONGS TO ALL
Name Ought Not Be Appropriated by Any
One Church.
DR.. coNLEY GIVES ITS ORIGIN AND EFFECT
Hebrew in spirit, Greek I'm BODY and
Latin in Form, Hence supreme1y
Fitted for It's Func-
ffou.

Rev. J. W. Conley preached at the First
Baptist church Sunday morning on the
subject OF THE Name Christian" He
said in part:
"There could be no word coined which
would 30 we'll meet all the requirements
as the word Christian. The name is He
brew in It's spirit, Greek in its body and
Latin in its form. The one who made the
name tc fit the followers Of Jesus made
an egregious literary blunder Part Of the
word is from one language and part from
another. It is a Greek word with a Latin
suflx. But no better selection could be
made. It ought not to have been a word
confined to one language as it stands for
an idea embracing all languages, all peo-
pie and oil time. 1t is well that Chris
tianity had It's beginning in three great
nationallties instead of one. From the
Romans It borrowed power, from the Greek
culture and from the Hebrew devotion.
"And take the name Christian, how we'll
It fits its meaning. The dictionary gives
the sufhx 1anus' as meaning of or par
taking Of Partaking of Christ. We have
other words, as believer and disciple and
these have come through association to
mean much, but they do not fit like the
word christian It is a family name.
First let us be a Christian and then a
Baptist a Presbyterian or a Methodist.
It does not seem fair for any one church
to take the name Christian. 1t should be-
long to the whole body. Let us exalt the
family name and let US live up to the
meaning or the word, Partaking of
Christi"
