A CHURCH WHERE DEAF
HEAR GOSPEL PREACHED

From the New York Sun.
group of men and women whose faces
express rapt and delighted attention have
for several months gathered at each SER
vice in the front pews of the Madison
Avenue Baptist church. Each holds to
his or her ear round bit of dark pol
ished wood about the size of an old
fashioned hunting case watch. but not
so heavy as were those pocket pieces of
our grandfathers.
At the close of the, service these people
Invariably linger to assure the Rev. Dr.
Pentecost that they have heard and en-
joyed his sermon. Sometimes a new
conner in the group will say that it is the
first time he has heard the song and ser
mon of church service in years, and it
is somewhat singular that a large pro-
portion of these people, at least two
thirds, name twenty as the number of
years in which they have not heard a
sermon.
Time seems however, not to have stalled
but rather to have increased the interest
and appreciation of these deaf folks, and
often 1t is with fearful eyes that they an
nounce that, though they never expected
to do SO again, they have really heard
music.
1t was February of the present year
that DIR. Pentecost, who has been acting
as supply at the Madison Avenue Baptist
church for tho past year. conceived the
idea of having acoucticons placed in GER
tain pews in the church. Mrs. Pentecost
had been trying one of the ordinary, in
diyidual kind, which had enabled her to
hear for the first time in many years a
sermon and the church music and is oc-
Cured to Dr. Pentecost that If a large
battery and receiver were placed on OF
near the pulpit, wires with ear piece at
taohments, might be carried to certain
pews, and in this way make 1t possible
for any partially deaf person to hear
He explained his idea to the officers of
the church. and they at once set to work
to find If the thing could be accomplished
Although at first the arrangements were
somewhat crudeh it was a success.
The battery and receiver were in the
beginning In full view little distance
from the pulpit. Now they are concealed.
The wires that lead to the pews are under
the carpet and come up to the little wood
en- ear pieces in such way that they
are not noticeable.
When the service begins DIR. Pentecost
turns on the battery, the little group of
people in the front pews take the ear
pieces with their slender, telescoping
handles. from the hooks on which they
hang on the back of the pews before
them and for the first time in the his
tory of the church the deaf have the
gospel preached to them.
Soon after this provision for the parti-
ally deaf had been put into successful OPP

of hearing a sermon When he came into
the church he said to the usher:
i've been told you've got a contrivance
here that makes the deaf to hear, and
I've come all the way to New York,
hopin' to hear a sermon, which / GER
tainly never expected to do again. It's
now nigh on to thirty years since l lost
my hearin''
When the service was over the old man
hurried to DR.. Pentecost and with tears
streaming down his wrlnkled face assured
him that he had heard all that the
preacher had said also that if he could
he would stay in New York in order to
enjoy a privilege of which he had been
long deprived.
No one then supposed that the contriv-
ance would within few months be put

Ir. Pentei ost's idea was adopted at the
Madison avenue church. Now the Broad

terlan church have pews arranged for the
deaf and churches In other cities and
many throt ehout the country have made
ana are making similar provisions.
Theatres and other audltoriums are also
having seats equipped for those who do
not hear well. In fact, Dr. Pentecost S
suggestion has opened n world to the par
! TALLY leaf which before had been closed
to them.
II also appears that il will lead to the
relief of persons who occupy remote seats
i in large auditoriums, and who while
they are so placed are in scarcely bet
, ter case than those who do not hear well.
1t is asserted that when this idea of DR..
Pentecosts is utilized a speaker can be
distinctly heard in the most distant part
of the largest auditorium in the coun-
| try.

Some Costs in Football.

Henry Beach Needham in McClures for
July.
At West Point in 1904 football cost only
$5I21.SS, as against $40, 3465l at Harvard
and $26, 99606 at Yale. West Point defeated
Yale at football, therefore a comparison
between the two OF expenses in this
branch of athletics is reasonable.
Yale expended for merchandise and
sporting goods, shoes and repairs, $i924o2
double the amount, $2014.16 which West
Point expended for material includes
medicines as we'll as athletic goods and
shoes.
At Yale it is insisted that "a man can't
play football today ON ordinary grub;
that the food provided at the university
commons, costing about So per week, will
not sustain a football warrior. His
board costs about SIS per week, of which
he himself contributes third-or less;
hence the net charge to the Yale asso-
citation for the football training table OF
S1S11. As against this sum West Point
expended just 500
Thus Yale squanders about $1,000 year
On extravagant living for her athletes In
all branches of sport, and Harvard and
Princeton are not far behind in this ex-
travagance.
In the Yale financial statement there
is a charge of .l549 for trophies.
Trophies include gold and silver foot
balls and large Photographic groups OF

train because of the accident at Men
opinion a train running thousand
miles in eighteen hours is much more
liable to accident than another making
the same distance in twenty hours.
Mr.. Newman has not explained his
reasons for this opinion. He, in COM
mon with many, if not most, railway
operators, is opposed to the running Of
exceedingly fast trains, but this op-
position is not based primarily on the
danger to passengers caused by long
sustained high speed.
The speed of the train wrecked last
week was not the cause of the disaster
that overlook it. 1t has been reported
that train that preceded 1t through
Mentor was running faster at that point
than was the crack Central flyer. When
any passenger train, running at the
speed usually developed on through
lines in this country, runs into an open
switch and crashes into a freight train
or other obstruction, there is an acct
dent as bad as that which overlook
this particularly speedy train. 1t should
be borne in mind that the passengers
killed we're all in the first car Had
they been travelling at the rate of
thirty-fve or forty miles an hour it is
not likely that they would have es-
capped.
Excursion trains, running at what is
regarded as moderate speed, have not
always escaped accident in the past,
and it has not been argued that such
accidents would have been worse had
the trains been going faster. Many
comparatively slow tarins have been
wrecked on American railways, but no
one has ever suggested lessening their
speed to make them safer. There is

Work Badly Needed.

Larger employment Of common labor
is badly needed at Salem.
The construction of a mile and a
half Of street car track south Of the
city will be a god-send to laborers and
teamsters.
Many men are out of employment in
the city. Many houses are becoming
vacant by families going elsewhere to
work.
There are not many carpenters EN-.
ployed, and the seasons building is
nearly completed.
Besides the railroad extension south
there Is now prospect of building
South Commercial street.
This city has not expended much on
public improvements for a number Of
years past.
The new high school buildings gave
considerable employment, as did the i'm.
provements on the fair grounds.
The construction Of good roads has
been a source of employment, as even
convict labor makes work for other la,
borers.
A city without a strenuous policy Of
public improvements wherever posi-
bic is like a man trying TO live without
lungs.
All money spent honestly on public
improvements benefits all concerned.
That statement cannot be successfully
denied.
The construction of more streets, the
laying Of more water mains, and exten.
sion of electric lines is badly needed
in Salem, il the families of laboriug
men are to have enough to live on next
winter.
