NOTES OF ZION BAPTIST CHURCH

Last Sunday morning witnessed a
fne congregation and genuinely
spiritual service at Zion The pastor
preached from the 18th chapter of the
1st Corinthians. Subject, The all
Powerful Influence of Love" That
the sermon was helpful and enjoyed
was evidenced by many expressions
from those present. Nothing so stim-
uiates the man in the pulpit as the
realization that he is being used OF the
spirit in helping his people.
The pastor announced last Sunday a
series of sermons to be delivered dur
ing the months of May and June on
home life and the home list of the
subject follows; "Courtship and Mar
riage. The Husband. ne Wife,
nome Life" Child Rearing" "Soci-
ETY. of Today" Divorce"
AN apology for such a list of sub
jects, to the thoughtful observer OF
our social conditions. is not neces-
sary. These subjects. together with
outlines and dates. are soon to be pub
hshed and the public is cordially in
vited to hear them. The series will
begin about the middle of May and
run through the month of June.
The coming OF the Williams Jubilee
Singers next Wednesday evening is
locked forward to with great deal
of anticipation. 1t will be the first
time these artists have appeared be-
fore colored audience In Denver, as
they are greatly in demand by the
white churches whose buildings gem
orally accommodate larger congre-
cation. The choir Is enthusiastically
pushing the sale of tickets and we ex-
pext to tax the capacity OF the church.
Admission Is % and so cents.
Subject for Sunday morning, "A
Wilderness Opportunity"

THE KIND OF RACE LOVE THAT
COUNTS.

That the Williams Jubilee Singers
are people who are socially eligible
to the best circles wherever they go,
is generally known. and that they are
the greatest singers of the race trav-
cling is attested by the leading daily
papers the country over, the musical
critics of two continents and hundreds
of thousands of pleased hearers, white
and colored: but that they are race
people, loyal and true. may not be SO
generally known 1t is therefore in
teresting to Denver people to know
that they refused an otherwise profit
able engagement in Ration, N. NJ. last
week because the owner of the audi
torium in which they were to appear
refused to admit colored persons to
their performance on any terms.
Where there is so much prating of
race love and SO little real sacrifice
to make it a working force. it is pleas
ant to record a moral triumph such
as this. 1t will be the greater pleas
ure to hear and see them.

NO CAUSE FOR GREAT ALARM
Large Number Of Defective School
Children an Old Phenomenon,
Now More Evident.

The enormous number of defective
school children should not alarm us
too greatly. Bad as it all is, there is
plenty of evidence that IL is an old.
old phenomenon-as old indeed as
man himself-but now more evident
because there are more people. II is
less In rural districts, though still
present, and as the population is nov
largely urban, It is quite natural that
the proportion of detectives should
increase, though as a matter Of fact
there is no evidence that II has. Big
cities are modern affairs and that is
why their phenomena are being dis
covered, but the accounts Of London
some centuries ago showed a deplor-
able number Of detectives. probably
far greater in proportion than in New
York now. Though IL is appalling
that there should be nearly a quarter
million diseased school children. yet
the defects are Of minor things, while
formerly they we're severe. The seat
OF most of the trouble is said to be
malnutrition, but It is not nearly so
bad as In European cities Of the last
century That is, the new facts must
not cause undue pessimism, but rath-
er the reverse, for they show that
though there is an immense proven
tive work ahead Of us, the progress
made in a century or even a half CEN
fury has been enormous. Optimism
is in place, even if we are sure that
perfection is unattainable. Moreover,
our preventive work is rapidly becom-
ing more and more efficient now that
we are learning the exact conditions
and their causes.-American Medi-
cine.

Man and the Crowd.

An address once made by President
Schurman to the graduating class at
Cornell was an eloquent appeal for
the individual against the crowd.
Would you abolish poverty, would
you advance civilization" he asked.
Then educate individuals one by one
to be more virtuous, more intelligent,
more skillful. more industrious,
Upon the soundness of the plea
there will be general agreement. 1t
is but a new statement Of the philos-
ophy Of Jesus that each man should
take care of his own soul But it is a
creed that has been much more sue
cesfully taught on lonely farms and
pastures than in universities.
Still the creed is a good one to
teach II can never be taught too
often. Better than all laws against
vice and crime and folly is an i'm
pulse toward selfreform. And per
haps such an impulse was never more
needed than now, for never was the
voice Of the crowd more clamorous
nor the influence of the crowd more
potent He that can make sure of his
own thought amid its noises is a phil
Osopher. He that can stand against
its power is a hero.-New York
World.

LIGHTHOUSE HAS NO KEEPER
Volcano on San Salvador Whose
Flashes Of Light Come Regularly
Every Seven Minutes.

What do you think OF a perpetual
lighthouse, needing no keeper, and
yet as regular in its flashes Of light
as one maintained by the govern
ment?" asked Albert d. Van Wyck, a
globe tpotter, at the Raleigh.
This natural light never fails, and
that means much for navigation. 1t
is a volcano on the island of San SAL
vador. This volcanic lighthouse is
about eight miles inland from the port
of Acajutla. 1t is a veritable pillar Of
cloud by day, and the flash of its light
by night has been valuable to marin
ers for years. 1t can be seen far out
at sea, and a burst of fame has gone
upward every seven minutes, without
the variation of a second, for many
years.
The few visitors who stop at San
Salvador amuse themselves the first
few days by holding their watches
and timing the outburst of flame.
"a lighthouse fee is collected of all
vessels that put in at the harbor near
est the volcano, and no skipper OBJ
jects. He knows that the volcano is
more reliable than the lighthouses
kept by human beings on other coasts,
and the novelty of the light is worth
the price charged by the government.
There is the usual defamation caused
by the eruption every seven minutes,
and the ground is shaken, but, after a
short sojourn on the island you fail to
notice it, and would be the more
shocked If it did not occur. Wash
