China. illustrated by numerous stereopti
con views is to be the principal feature of
the next meeting of the District Christian
Endeavor Union, Monday evening, April a.
This lecture is in line with the course of
study on mission work in China which was
pursued by a normal class under Mr..
Smiths leadership during the early part of
the winter and which is now being followed
by classes in a number of the Christian En-
deavor societies. The interest in these
studies has been so great that at the re-
quest of the union officers Mr.. Smith has
prepared his lecture for the instruction ana
entertainment of the Endeayorers.
A special service was held Wednesday
night by the Christian Endeavor Society Of
ST Paufs English Lutheran Church, to
which members of the Sunday school were

half there was discussion of the work Of

The program will follow the regular con-
vention of the lodge and be open to friends
of members of the lodge.
There was not as large an attendance at
the shrine pilgrimage to Richmond as had
been expected, but the mobiles who attended
had excellent entertainment. At the BAN
quet there were number of guests who
were not members of the shrine, including
Lieutenant-Governor Joseph Willard who
announced in his address that as soon as
he had received his Templar orders, if he
were SO fortunate, he should apply for the
shrine. Other speakers were Admiral w. s.
Schley, Admiral Harrie E. Webster, Will
liam d. Bynum and General Filzhugh Lee.
Frank Cunningham was the life of the
Richmond party of entertainers, and kept
everything moving during the entire visit.
Admiral Schley was received with many
attentions in Richmond On his arrival
the admiral and his party were driven to
Murphy's Hotel, escorted by Potentate
Phillips of Acca Temple, Frank Cunning
ham and other shriners.
In an interview in Richmond Admiral
Schley said that he thought it would be a
mistake for navy man to get into ma
tional politics. this being in answer to
the question whether he would consider
his nomination as Vice President or as
President by the democrats The admiral
laughed softly at the idea. He was asked
if he did not desire 70 get back aboard
ship these strenuous eastern times. Not
on any other than an American ship he
.
try
"But aboard the Brooklyn say. If this
country became mixed in the war in the
east?' it was suggested.
That Is a different story" he answered.
1.-THE Japs are very clever in handling
their ships" he continued. But would
not like to say just what their chances
are. II is too early in the game and /
know little of the Russians
Admiral Schley was greeted with an
ovation all along the Richmond streets,
many people rushing to the side of his
carriage to shake his hand or to say a
word of greeting.
The banquet of the Eagles at Richmond
this week, which was attended by Represen-
tatiye Timothy D. Sullivan. William Sulxer
and other notables, is reported by the re-
turned visitors as having been great sue

anniversary of the orders foundation in
Richmond. p. IT. Murphy. the head of Dixie
