had left his young and attractive help
meet a widow for the third time. At
the time of his death their clergyman
was away on q European trip, and In
this emergency the Rev. DR.. Blank
was called upon.
A neighbor instructed him hastily
a. to the admirable qualities of the
deceased, his benevolence, piety and
kind disposition, and gave him vari-
Gus points as to his family relations.
During the funeral discourse no out
sider would have suspected that the
Clergyman had not been a lifelong
friend Of the dead man. When, how
ever. he came to mention the widow
in his prayer, 1t was evident that his
data In regard to her had become a
trifie confused. He said:
And now we commend to thy care
this widowed handmade, who has been
bereaved again and again and again.
Then hesitating an instant. he added:

The religious enthusiasm of past years
is waning and the average young man Of
the present day is simply, tired of the
church.
There are many regular attendants at
services who merely go through the forms
of worship out of habit, and are worship
ing fetish of the past rather than a God
of the present.
The tie that used to bind young man
to the church is broken. The interest Of
young women in the church is waning. The
spiritual life has become form and when
that happens the religious life is exhausted.

Series of Concerts to Be Given
in Richmond by Metropoli-
tan Company.

Managers of musical agencies through
out the country are watching with in
terest the venture of Richmond man,
Mr.. w. L. Radcliffe, under whose di-
rection the Metropolitan Concert Cons
pany Is now making a tour of the
South, presenting musical programs OF
an unusually attractive character.
Mr.. Radcliffe has gotten entirely
away from the well-worn paths. and
his company Is meeting with splendid
success. Instead of giving just one
concert in each city, series of three
concerts is given. This enables the
company to present quite varied pros
gram of concerted numbers. and alAo
affords the audience an opportunity
to hear all the artists to the very best
advantage in groups of songs.
Another feature which seems to be
pleasing with the great majority OF
those attending the concerts is the
fact that nearly all the selections are
sung in English.
Concerts Here.
The concerts to be given at the JEFF
ferson auditorium in Richmond on
Monday and Tuesday by the company
will be of the same high standard.
The artists We're heard at Asheville
last Monday and Tuesday, and at Char
lotte on Wednesday and Thursday, and
the articles concerning the concerts
published in the newspapers of these
North Carolina cities speak in the
highest terms of praise of the individ-
ual success of the singers.
There is every Indication Of large
audiences here, as the advance sale
of seats, now being held at the Gable
Company store, is steady and increas-
ing daily.
