man wired that he would post the 500
900 as soon as Johnson arrived in New
York and posted his money.
The feeling between the Two negroes
is bitter. Langford positively refuses to
take Johnson seriously. Before the

moaned the fact that Jcffries was 60

he got chance to do the job.

The Church Trial

The suit brought by the Cumber
land Presbyterians against the
Presbyterians, U. S. A., was call
ed in the Circuit Court Tuesday,
Judge Samuel Davis presiding.
The Cumberlands in the suit ask
for possession of the Oiell Ave.
church, the mission church and
Missouri Valley College and it's
endowment fund, involving over
100000.
The Presbyterians filed mo ion
TO strike out the name of Missouri
Valley College as party plaintiff
in the College case, on the ground
thai he same had been used by
the Cumberlands without the au-
thority of those in possession at
the College and also filed an amen
ded answer stating that as mat
ter of law the Court could not up
on the peti ion of the Cumbe rlan 1s
maintain jurisdiction of the case.
Not being ready to consider this
proposition of law the Cumh erland
requested a continuance in the
the College case. The Presbyter-
ians insisted that both Church and
College cases had been agreed to
be tried together and consented to
continue both cases together,
which was accordingly done.

"Lovely" Men Not Wanted

Marshall was Shown" how to
push church matters by the Broth
erhood of the Christian church
this week. They secured the SER
vices of Prof. Arthur Holmes, one
of their most able speakers, ar
ranged an open meeting for Tues
day evening, then formed them
selves into big committee on in
vitations. Every man who show
ed his face on the street Tuesday
was given one or more urgent in
vitations and when they came out
that night they were neither per-
mitted to escape not go to sleep.
The speaker was so intensely in
teresting that they desired to do
neither.
Prof. Holmes is a man of pleas
ing personality, intensely interest
ed in in his work and an able ora
tor. Some of the things he said
"The church of this world must
give the message of the other
world"
"The church has been too much
concerned of the past and not
enough of the future.n
"You can always pick out a
minister-the women have made
him over. They look at the man
more than what he has to say. If
he has big feet they probably will
not vote for him."
"When preacher is called a
lovely man it's time for him to
quit"
"When a woman talks about the
pastor, put your foot on her and
the thing will be over"
"In this materialistic age, a
man is considered a failure who
doesn't leave fortune"
"Man is more valuable than any
thing on this earth.
"The church has not been GO
ing forward. 1t resembles the
beached boat, perfect in every
detail but does not move"
He told of laying his hand on a
little boy and asking him if he
was going to become a minister.
The boy said, "Gosh, no, / want
to be man."
