NOTED MUSICIAN AT BETHEL,

Herbert F. Gibson, the most gifted of
musicians, performing on 20 different
instruments, will be at the MetropoIi
tan Church, Thursday, June 23rd. He
came in the interest of the Setward-
esses and w. M. MS. These two de
partments Of women workers in the
church, are always being called uDon
in cases of distress; whether the sui
fering is physical or mental, it is theirs
TO soothe, and as is so often the case.
1t is necessary to, provide food, cloth
ing or medicine. AS their work is SO
general, responding without regard to
creed, we feel that the public will s,
fully sympathize with them in their
work as to come forward and take at
least one ticket for the Herbert Glib
son musical entertainment. The call,
to preach the BaccaIaureate sermon
at the closing exercises at Wflberforce
Ohio, was made on Rev o. ]. W. Scott,
D. D., the able, learned christian d.
vine, pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E..
Church. He will occupy the pulpit
Sunday morning.
Metropolitan A. NJ. E. Choir has re-
ceived so much favorable comment on
the excellence OF their song services,
that they rendered another Sunday
June 18th, at p. m. At this time they
rendered Farmers Mass, under the d.
rection of their leader, Prof. J. I.
Layton. 1t is very fitting that in this
month of commencements, the proba-
TONERS should be read in full member
ship in the church. 1t will be their
graduation into the higher, real work
of the church. There are over one hun
dred in the class, who will pledge
themselves and their faith to the A.
M. E. doctrine on the Fourth Sunday in
June, at 8 p. m.
The WOman's Day extends another
invitation to everybody to spend a
while on next Sunday, at p. M, in lis
tening to one of our brightest and best
speakers, Mrs. E. H. Smith.

ExERTs AN AWFUL POWER.
Exploding Dynamite Said TO De the
6 Most Tremendous Force in
Existence.

When dynamite explodes it leaves lite
tie to mark the spot where It has lain
save evidences Of its destructiveness.
Two interesting exhibits of It's force are
shown In the Stevens Institute of Tech
nology at Hoboken, N. ]. They are steel
blocks. six inches In diameter and four
inches thick. showing respectively the
impression Of an oak leaf and the Inn
print Of the headline of Z western nevy-
paper. It was during test Of high ex-
plosives that . cartridge Of dynamite
was placed on newspaper covering the
block Of steel, the object being to seo
how much dynamite would be required
to split the metal.
The dynamite was fred without injury
to the steel, but to the surprise Of the
experimenter the print Of the newspa-
per was deeply pressed into the metal.
The experiment was repeated, with the
same result, and then ives elaborated By
trying the charge on . oak leaf placed
between the block and the dynamite.
This time the stem and the ribs Of the
leaf were deeply impressed in the metal.
What happens 10 this" said the ex-l
pert in charge. Unlike most other ex-s
plosives, dynamite exerts practically al
its crushing force downward and not in
q general direction. So inconceivably
quick and forceful is the discharge of this
powder that the imprint Of the ribs Of
an oak leaf are made before the leaf has
time to be blown to atoms. In the case
of the newspaper 1t appears that where
printers ink touches the paper the pa
per is hardened and more capable Of re-
sistance than in other places. and so II
Is that before the paper il destroyed the
printing on 1t IL forced deep into the
metal"

The Value of Hobbies
BY BEATRIX BUCHANAN,
Noted English Writer for Girls.

OWADAYS hobbies may be considered the fash

girls, indulge in some special work during their
hours of recreation.
Now, I am believer in hobbies, and am Of
the opinion that the rising generation of our day
are much happier than their grandparents were
when young because they so seldom suffer from
that enemy to happiness ennu and the explana-
ton is to be found in hobbies. A cultivated taste
for some special work may perhaps, too. prove
