"The Backslider In Heart

'The Backslider in Heart" was the
theme last night at the Baptist
church. Evangelist Ledford took his
text from Proverbs 1914 and preach
ed to the backsliders. He first gave
the evidences of the backslidden.
"The backslider is a faultfinder. He
has the spirit of hostile criticism. II
doesn't take a thimble full of brains
to pick church work to pieces but you
never heard of anybody being con-
verted by this faultfinding-never.
The backslider is a grumbler MOTH
ing suits him. he sows the spirit of
sition to Bible holiness, he objects to
a clean heart and sees no beauty in
IT, The backslider has no desire for
the prayermeeting or for secret
prayer The Bible is to him 6. s.uffy
old book and he can't understand it.
He soon wearies in good works and is
tired whenever he should do the
Lords work But he can go to balls
and card parties and stay up late
o, yes, that's different. He is at
home in these things. But be care
full" he said. when you have these
symptoms you should come back to
Cod"
The meeting last night was the best
or the week. The house was well
filled and deep interest in the mess
age was manifest. Ledford sang just
before the sermon. Many took part
in the conservation service at the close
of the meeting. Meeting tonight at
7:3O. All are invited.

Quality Show at Grand.

Music, plenty of it, novel instru-
mental music and sweet productions
of the voice, mingles with light
touch of clean comedy to make this
weeks bill at the Grand vaudeville
theatre what is declared by many to
be far superior in its entertaining
worth to anything yet offered at this
popular playhouse. The bill that
opened last night to two packed
houses is one that pleases all.
The Van Kaathoven quartet were
undoubtedly the hit of the bill last
night. Their popularity was respon-
sible for a loss to the management.
The crowd at the first show liked
them so well that most of them stay
ed for the two performances and as a
result a large number of persons were
turned away, while many stood dur
ing the entire second show. The Van
Kaathovens get far away from the or
dinary with one of the most pleasing
musical acts ever seen here, and prop
erly staged. showing a scene in Hol-
land. They are German folk and sing
German songs as they are seldom
heard All four are accomplished mu-
sicians, also and the music they pro-
duce on mandolin, violin, cello and
guitar is a treat. Their quartet work
is extremely well done. Gretchen Van
Kaathoven, contralto comes with one
of those deep sympathetic voices sell
dom heard in vaudeville both in part
singing solo work and reaches low c
in her song "Wacht Am Rhein." Lena
Van Kaathoven gives a very sweet
rendition of The Rosary 1t is an
act of real merit. Little Olga, late
OF Barnum & Bailey's circus was al
so clever performer. Jack Her.
ington in comedy cartoon work is the
best yet. Motion pictures that are up

Silver Threads Among the Gold.


Darling, l am growing old, silver
threads amongst the gold shine upon
my brow today, life is fading fast
away" Thus runs one of the old. old

hand Of time were ruthlessly checking
off the pleasant hours of youth and
laughter. Remedy after remedy has
been exploited for the restoring of
gray hair to its natural color but the
one that has stood the test of years

to 1916 the business was leased by the
city to a private company, but as 1t re-
fused to reduce its interest on pawned
articles the city took over the business
and has managed it ever since.
Each article pawned.' says Mr.. Nor
gan, costs the establishment about 6
cents for administration. 1t Is estimated
that about $25, 600 per annum is actually
lost on large number OF articles pawned
which do not pay more than o. per cent
interest.
TT appears to be the custom Of some
people in Holland to pawn their best
clothes Monday morning. redeem them
the Saturday night following. and repawn
them the following Monday. securing their
use for the Sunday outing. Over 20 per
cent Of the business Of the pawnshop
consists Of this class OF pledges.
THE low rate OF interest charged has
practically driven all other pawnshops
out of business, notwithstanding that
there is no law controlling them.
Management Of Bank van Leening.
THE Bank van Leening consists Of a
manager and Ave directors, appointed by
the city council, three of whom must be
members OF the late body. A secretary is
appointed by the burgomaster. At the
end Of each calendar year the directors
submit to the burgomaster their balance
sheet, showing the volume Of business, to-
gether with recommendations for the fol-
lowing year.
1.-The manager has the power to decide
all ordinary questions of loans. but in spe-
cial cases he must first obtain the sane
ton of the town council, which also de-
cides upon the ton of the
manager, the number of officials and
clerks and their salaries. The power OF
appointment and removal Of the manager
is vested in the town council, but the
board OF directors may suspend him pend
ing the final action of the town council.
"Under the rules no loans will be made

religious services, nor are loans made on

Managerships in Demand.

More than 1900 applications have been
received for the 500 positions as managers
OF first and second and third-class ex-
changes, woman superintendents and
clerks, and a selection is being made by
a committee Of Mr.. Stanley Lease of the
royal civil service commission, w. H.
Mitchell Of Bradford. as q representative
employer, and David Shackleton, a leader
of the labor party in parliament.
The success OF the enterprise will de-
pend entirely upon the cooperation of
the employers, because il they ignore the
new exchange in seeking help it will be
useless for the unemployed to make ap-
plication.
Many labor unions are positively hostile
to the plan. Others are inclined to be
distrustful of an agency that can supply
any number of laborers and mechanics
at any time they may be needed for any
purpose. They argue that such an agency
places in the hands of the government
an instrument that will defeat any strike
at short notice.
But the law establishing the exchanges
expressly stipulates that strikebreakers
shall not be furnished. The only way
In which 1t can be done is for the employ
ers to secure lists Of unemployed In ad-
vance.
