 In the Poplar Springs beat there is the Brown school house and the school at the time of which I speak was taught by Miss Callie Falres. One day after she had eaten her dinner a little boy asked If she could not give him what she had left, which of course she gladly did; this occurred for three days, then she watched to see what he brought himself and watched him day after day for month Every udy IL WdS d plttt ol COTu and an onion. You ask me, was that all? Yes, my friends, that was all. She fur ther told me he was the smartest boy she ever taught and 1t needs no argu- ment from me to prove to you that boy did not get his fair share.

There are a great many bread and onion boys in Lauderdale coun- ty. I do not know who lives within mile of this place where I am speaking, but you who do do not doubt have in mind the children of poor but honest people, whose little girls might be called "old fodder stacks and brave boys who carry bread and onions for both. Can all this be true in a Christian country? We know 1t to be as true as the gospel itself.
 With these great truths staring us in the face who can now rise and say I am a good and faithful servant unto my Lord and Master: I am doing all in my power to banish ignorance and to further the great cause of education.

CROPS GREATLY HELPED
 BUT FRUIT IS DAMAGED
Continued from First Page.)

Similar reports have been received at the general offices of the Chicago & Northwestern railway
 "The snowfall was worth millions to the state," said c. F. Redington, clerk to General Manager Bidwell of the Northwestern. Our reports do not in- dicate that fruit has been much hurt, so far as can now be told.
 "Our work has to do with weather conditions and not to their effect on crops" said Forecaster A. L. Welsh of the local weather bureau, but from such reports as have come in I do not believe conditions are as bad as they have been reported, Early fruit has | been hurt, but it is expected, believe, far from true that the fruit crop has | been destroyed. The record for warm | weather in March was broken twice during last month and the average for the month was far above that for the thirty-seven years since the weather bureau was established: but the record for April, so far, has been very little | below normal"
 Denver, April 21.-A sharp drop in temperature followed the snow storm last night, 14 above zero being record ed by the weather bureau in Denver and Pueblo and fruit of all kinds ir eastern Colorado, according to reports was nipped in the bud At Grand Juno ton, the center of the more important fruit region west of the continental di'

While the precipitation covered large area, including all of Colorado, Wyo- ming and part of South Dakota, Neb- raska, Kansas and New Mexico, the snow was mostly confined to the east ern slope of the Rocky Mountains and extended from Lander, Wyo.. and Rapid City, s.

 ta Fe, N. M, and Roswell, N. M, on the south. Only slight snow occurred west of the continental divide. The storm originated in the north and worked it's way slowly to the south, passing out of the state late yesterday. Kansas City, Mo, April 21.-That 95

With what shrinking of spirit, with what realization of incompetence, incompleteness and personal unworth- mess, with what feeling of oppressive and unutterable responsibility, I take up this burden l dare not tell. These things are not for public speech. I have come In the honest belief that the best work of my life Is to be done in your land"
 His text was from Second Corinthians 5:lS. And Hath Given to Us the Min istry of Reconciliation.
 "The sin of doing nothing is the dead Hest of the seven deadly sins" he said. We are here to save men. Men can- not be saved alone. The saved man must save men. The city must be saved. The state must be saved. The nation must be saved. We are here to claim the world of politics as Christ's world, cleanse political life of it's self seeking, its practical atheism and cor. ruption, and change our human so. clety into kingdom of God. ITO this ministry no limits can be set. Its parish is the whole wide world of men. But there is one precise ana | specific application to it which no Am erican who loves his country, no mar or woman between the Atlantic anc the Pacific who cares for his country: flag, and his country's honor, her fam, and future, can afford to be indiffer ent.

from the old world who has ever read a page of history knows that, in the rush to your shores of millions upon millions of the European peoples, you are confronted by problem sucn as no nation has ever yet had to solve since history began. I read the figures which set this problem visibly before the eyes of men, am lost in amaze ment. Then, as the facts behind the figures begin to take shape and sub stance. my brain reels before that inn mensity.
 You know what races of the old world are pouring themselves into your land You know what colonies of peo- pie, separated from yourselves by thought, by feeling, by tradition, by re- ligion, by language, are established within your city boundaries and in all the great cities of the land. This is an ethnic question, a race question. It is a question as to the kind of people the American people is to become. It is a question whether the primal Am erican stock is to be vitiated by the in- er-permeation of an inferior race. It is something still nearer; it is na- tional question, a question of political equilibrium of the stability of social or der and the sovereignty of law.
 "The quickest way, the most econo- mlcal and the most permanent way of making of these people good Americans and good patriots is to make them good Christians, To you, and me who know, and to men and women like us, is en- trusted the solemn responsibility and the splendid privilege. We have to change the mob into a commonwealth, the proletariat into democracy. And these untralned, undlsciplined, politi- cally dangerous millions we have to win for Christi

FROM PEACE CONGRESS.

Mrs Frances Sheldon Bolton Charles
 Gay and Judge Sheldon Spoke at the
 Church of the Messiah.
 At the Church of the Messiah last night the usual service was given over to reports of delegates of the church who attended the peace congress in New York. Mrs. Frances Sheldon BoI- ton. Charles Gay and Judge Sheldon made short talks.
 Mrs. Bolton spoke first on the part taken by women in the congress. She quoted from the speeches of Miss Mary Wolley,s president of Mt Holyoke col- lege, and Miss Jane Addams, of Hull House, Chicago. All three of the speak krs, in fact, spoke of Miss Addams and her speech at the congress.
 What the different women's move ments had done for establishing inter- national regulations in regard to em- ployments of women and of children was pointed out by Mrs. Bolton. At the close of her talk she read hymn written to the music of Onward Chris
 an Soldiers" but called Heroes of
 aace.'
 Charles Gay described the outward ppearance of the congress, the culture, wealth and beauty assembled there. z MT Gay was impressed by the fact that in such an assembly, composed very evidently of the upper strata of society, there was everywhere such great in- terest in what he called popular senti- ment." This indicated very healthy democratic character in our people and in tho peace movement. Mir Gay said further that the peace movement must really be justice movement. Peace without justice is impossible and unde- ksirable This perhaps was the funda- emental note of the congress. Y Judge Sheldon spoke of the great va riety of interests represented at the congress. He praised William T. / Stead, who has done the real work of getting other nations interested in the American movement. He said that the important commercial dealings of coun- tries made some sort of tribunal for settling differences necessary. Eric ton between countries in commercial rivalry cannot be avoided War to set tie all such differences will mean mighty losses that could and should be avoided.
 Meetings are to be held in other places during the week. notably the address of William T. Stead at Hen drie hall, to present further the work of the congress in New York
