Christian Witnesses Needed.

Rev. DR.. C. A. Barber pastor of the Lake

preached yesterday evening at Calvary Bap-

CITY FAIRGROUNDS.
Plenty Of Ice Water to Be Given to
the Youngsters

Free ice water will be a welcome feature
at eight Of the city Fairgrounds during the
remainder of the season. Mr.. Wallace
Hatch of the Associated Charities informed
a Star reporter today that the Home Ice
Company had agreed to supply the ice once
or twice daily without cost. Eight barrels
for the water have been contributed by the
local Womens Christian Temperance
Union. These donations are much appre-
ciated by the management Of the play
grounds. as cool drinking water has long
been needed at the grounds. 1t is hoped
by Mr.. Hatch that the other Fairgrounds
may be similarly supplied before long.
Another means Of enjoyment and instruc-
ton for the children Of Washington has
been provided in connection with the play
grounds feature. The-httle ones, to the
number Of fifty or more. are taken to the
numerous points of interest in the city in
one of the large Seeing Washington au-
tomobiles. The initial trip was made last
Friday evening and another will be made

Subject Of Sermon by Rev. Dr.. 8
Reese Murray.

Rev. DR.. g. Reese Murray, pastor Of the

evening on 'The Rich Fool" and analysed
the rich mans sins OF today. He criticised
the motives and Ideals OF the modern Croe-

whom God had called q fool was not the
only one of his class.
Some are stun alive. and even men can
see that they are fools Some traits OF
character God only can describe, and he
does not fail to put their proper label upon
them. But men know the more evident In
tentions Of their fellows, and they also do
not hesitate to affix terrible brands to their
conduct.
''Of late It is the rich who have been
under merciless microscopy. Whole maya

The newspaper press, too. has arraigned
some and hayed others. Much money has
been paid certain publications by the rich
to spare them the public censure OF their
follies. and much more will go the same
way.
But the parable Is concerned not with
mere conduct, however censurable, but
with a principle governing this rich man 8
