To the Friends Of the Orphans.

The board Of directors Of the Missis-
sippi Methodist Orphans Home, at it's
annual meeting held at Jackson, Miss,
May rs, 1909, in reviewing the progress
Of the institution for the past year, found
that there are now 100 children in the
home, and these are very much crowded,
80 much SO, that In some cases there
had to be three In one bed, and some
have to be placed on the floor. Three
rooms which we're being used for store
rooms had to be cony erted into bed
rooms. And in addition to this, the
manager has received already arplica-
tions for the admission. Of great many
more children, but h, cannot possibly
take them for want VI room. So after
discussing the situati on fully, the board
determined to erect two other buildings,
one to be used as a dormitory for the
boys, and the other for school build
ing.
It seems to be prcvidential that just
at this juncture three friends Of the
orphans should appear on the scene, and
propose to give one.half Of the amount
necessary to put up and equip these
buildings, i. O., $4,000 provided the
board OF directors would raise . like
sum. Fully appreciating the liberality
OF these donors the board accepted the
proposition and proceeded Immediately
to appoint q committee Of three. con-
sisting Of ". NJ. Williams, J. H. Sherrard
and J. 8. Sexton, to devise . plan and
proceed at once to solicit subscriptions
for the above named purpose.
The object Of this circular Letter.
therefore, Il to urgs THE friends sOf Or
phans everywhere 70 come 70 the relief
Of the board st oass and help % TO meet
this very liberal propo.ition- Don't

but send your donstions to ". n. will

Postofflce Robber Arrested.

yactson. Miss, May Rstoiilc,
Inspector G. B. Leonard, Of this city
has made IN important capture In thu
person Of 4 negro named Fred Clifton
who confeases to having robbed five
small pustofices in this state during
the past few months.
Clifton WAS apprchended at Green
wood, and In that immediate section
he has, according to his own confession
robbed the postofices 1t Rome, Blaine
Guide, whaley and Berclair.
A very clever bit Of detective work
was performed by the federal author
tiles In the capture of Clifton. He was
located and his guilt established
through orders sent TO some big de.
partment stores In Chicago, taving sent
over go In stamps to one Chicago con-
cern.
Before his arrest, but after he had
learned that the inspector was on his
trail, Clifton managed to get word to a
negro woman in Greenwood with whom
he was staying, and the negress burned
up 3 big bundle Of postage stamps that
had been taken by the negro during his
postoffice raids. His ohenses were COM
mitted in three divisions Of the two
federal court districts Of Mississippi,
whicn will make 1t necessary to have
him tried In jackson, vicksburg and
Oxford, and he will probably receive
aggregate sentences that will keep him
In the federal ponitentiary for some
time to come.

A Thunder from Sinai.

The 26th day of May is celebrated
the Feast of Shavuath throughout the
world, in commemoration Of Gods com
mand in Leviticus 29-15, "and ye shall
count unto you from the morrow after
the Sabbath from the day that ye
brought the sheaf Of the wave offering;
seven Sabbaths shall be complete.
This makes so days including the 1st
day Of Shavuath from the first day of
Passover and the 2lst verse land ye
shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that
it may be an holy convocation unto you;
We shall do no scribe work therein; also
this holy day is called Zmon, Matan
Terosenn," in commemoration Of the
giving by God to Moses the ten COM
mardments. Three thousand two hun
dred and twenty years ago, the Thora,
the most precious gift by God to the
children Of Israel and through them to
the rest Of the world to keep and abide
by it that great critical philosopher
manuel Kant said "Only in experience
ia the truth" Behold what witness
Israel is for truth in the existence OF
God and the Thora. "Thou art my wit
ness," saith the Lord. AS Homer de-
scribes in his Epic the wanderings,
suiferings, and the temptations Of his
hero, Odysseus, Israel's history for over
three Thousand five hundred years sways
before our eyes, replete with acts and
conducts Of martyred Hebrews and he
roic Jews who carried that torch from
Sinai clasped to their hearts, who lived
for it, il die they had, who fought for 1t
with valor and bravery uneqaaled by
any nation, in Syria, In Caldea, In Pers-
Ia. in Greece, in Rome, and to the pres
ent day in Russia and Roumania; all
through the ages the tragic experience
OF Israel runs like red thread through
the pages Of history. The path in
which Israel had been forced to wan
der has been strewn with human
wrecks OF his own and watered by his
tears. In every age and In every cline
Israel has been pathetically reminded
that be belongs to the martyred race
and here is the truth "And yet for all
that, when they be in the land OF OPP
precision, I will not cast them away,
neither will l abhor them, to desert
them utterly, and TO break my covenant
with them; for l am the Lord their
God. 20 "A. And now that
Supreme Being or Power, the frst cause
or COSMOS, the living God, lie worsbipped
apd acknowledged BY all men Of cav
ilisation. This is tho definition Of the
Are and Thunder Of Sinai. and - We
are celebrating the birth OF this evcnt
shsvusth, We ought to be filled with
pride and devotion to serve God and
thank Him for the blessed privilege d
being tho recipients Of the law sivea

our ancient bard. "Give thanks unt1

A Perfect Man.

There is q man who never drinks,
Nor smokes, nor chews, nor swears;
Who never CANDLES, nor flirts
And shuns all sinful snares
He is paralized.
There is a man who never does
Anything that is not right;
His wife can tell just where he is
At morning, noon and night
He is dead.
