fashioned hymn at the close, Jesus,
the Friend of Sinners" being very
impressive. as it was sung with the
old-time fervor and without accom-
paniment.
What Baptists Have Done.
DR.. Christian declared the Baptists
should be judged by the things they
have done-for If they have not &C
complished deeds and made this old
world brighter and better and nearer
to God, they are not worth while.
First, the Baptists have always stood
for supremacy of the Word of God.
II they had done nothing else than
stand for the glory Of God and the
Scriptures-they have done much.
They take the Word of God in its
plainest, most rational meaning and
proclaim it as supreme on the hill
sides and on the plains. They stand
for the integrity of the Word and be-
lieye that all the light of the word |
and time can be turned on the Book.
The Open Bible.
"Baptists stand for the open Bible"
continued the speaker, "for the whole
world, and that the Bible be conveyed
to men. So Baptist missionaries have
been busy translating it in heather
the speaker naming several.
TN fact, many of the versions of the
Bible are in some way connected with
Baptist missionaries.

STATE FAIR BOARD
may BE RESULT
OF EXTRA Meet

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 2O.-If there il
an extra session of the Mississippi
legislature, Governor Noel will proba
bly, recommend the enactment of law
to increase the revenues of the state.
Some measure of relief Is necessary,
as the legislature, at every session,
appropriates more money that the
states revenues amount to. 1t will
be impossible for the state to float an
other bond issue, and while one will
not be necessary for few years, un-
less the revenues are increased in
some way, Mississippi will face f.
nancial crisis within the uext four
years, and one that cannot be tided
over.
One remedy for this has been sug-
gested, and it is believed the governor
favors it-a state board of equaliza-
ton. Texas, Alabama, Louisiana and
other states have adopted this plan
in recent years, and it has worked
well. While values have been raised
in these states, the tax levy has been
reduced. while the large property
owner pays proportionately more taxes
and the small property owner proper.
tionately less.
In other words, the burden of taxa
ton has been more nearly 'equalized,
at the same time giving the state am
pie revenues to meet all expenses. In
Texas six years ago the tax levy was
mills and the Lone Star state was
In the same fix, financially, that Mis-
sissippi is in today, but with the state
board of equalization, conditions have
been changed. 1t was there, Just as it
is in Mississippi-the small property
owner paid more than his just pro-
portion of taxes-but today it is diff
ferent.
Many Counties Escape.
Some counties in Mississippi pay
something like their just proportion
of taxes into the state treasury, but
others do not. Some counties have
even reduced both personal and realty
values and increased their own levy,
order to reduce the amount they
would have to turn over to the state. |
T some law is not enacted to prevent
his, it is believed other counties will
reduce their values this year again,
which will further cut into the states |
revenues.
Mississippi has developed a great
ieal In the last few years, but the
states revenues have not grown in
proportion to the expenditures. The
growth of the state has added cost to
current expenses of the government.
Increase is Regular.
The year 1906 showed an increase

No Bosses, No Bishops.

The Baptists stand against i'm.
perialisms. all combinations that make
man a machine, but for the unit.
They will stand for no bosses, no
bishops" DR.. Christian declared, "for
the humblest man on earth is more
than a machine man.

any man between me and God-nor
any sacrament to wash away my sins.

don't need it," explained the speaker,
and he then told of the Baptists as a
liberty-loving people.
The Baptist Succession.
Il am loyal to my flag because it is
loyal to liberty. / can worship or not,
as please and the other man can do
SO, too-that is liberty. The Baptists
have been prosecuted, but they have
always been on the side of liberty.
Liberty came to the world through
that Baptist line of succession
Roger Williams, the evangelist, and
that's the only line of succession and
a fine one to have. Bishops are moth
ing to that line"
For Education.
Dr. Christian told of his travels in
Greece and England and how he came
in contact with homes of the old mis-
sionaries and then of what the Bap-
lists have done for Sunday schools
IN this country. Among other things
ne mentioned Harvard University be-
ing named after Baptist, and the
numerous schools and colleges of that
faith were referred to, declaring the
Baptists were forerunners in mission
ary work in the United States.

ed and that manhood must prevail.
Well the crash comes at last and
Timon finds-what? That men are
false? no: but that lick spittles,
sycophants, hangers-on, cupboard
lovers are false.
1t is the old story of the Prodigal
Son at the end of his tether "And no
man gave unto him." And at this the
milk of human kindness curdles in
Timon, 8 nature. Because some worth
less men are false and ungrateful, he
sours on the whole human race. He
invokes the most disabolical curses
against his native city and finally upon
the whole human race. Adversely tests
him and finds his character counterfeit.
A true man would not have become
jaundiced in his vision, SO harsh in his
judgement. William Allen White in
his book "In our town" tells of Silas
Buckner and his LIBERATED heart as he
Stands at his window and counts the
liars and scoundrels and double dealers
and villains and thieves and swindlers
who pass. He has soured on the town
and when he sees a man Silas thinks
only of the evil that man has done,

gets their strength and looking down
from his window hates his fellow crea-
lures for the wrong they have done
him or the wickedness that he knows of
them. Seeing him over there looking
down on the town which to him is ac-
cursed; we have often thought how
weary God must be looking at the
world and knowing so much better than
Silas the weakness and iniquity of men.
According to Sllas Buckners theory
and Timon's theory if man hurts you
hate him. But it is wrong theory,
Revenge recoils; curses come back to
roost; Cruelty is sword that wounds
the user; Wrongs and evils there are q
plenty in this world. But let them not

and bitter. There is title better than
-Manhater-It is Philan-
thropos-man lover. There was man
once who loved his fellow men. He
sacripied for them. He gave himself
without stint for them. And they
spurned Him. They traduced Him.
They turned on Him like pack of rave
ing wolves. They spat upon that august
face. They smote the lips that had
quivered in infinite pity and that spoken
words of comfort and hope. The feet
that had walked in ways of goodness
and the hands that had done deeds of
mercy they nailed to the cross. And
the Son of Mary loving through all, his
fellow men though they had so dealt
with him prayed in his dying agony

Rev. Waller's Sd Shakespeare Sermon

A short Snyposis of Rev. Walters
sermon from Shakespear delivered last
lSunday evening at the Methodist
Church.
The way that man feels toward his
fellow creatures is good index of his
own character If man boarded train
on which Twas passenger and indulged
in most vitriolic and unmeasured dia-
tribe against his fellow citizens in the
community to which he belongs,
might consider that community an un-
desirable abode. but l would certainly
regard the man himself as an undesir-
able acquaintance. My estimate of my
fellow man is revealing fiashlight on
my own personality. John says "He
that hatch his brother is in the dark
ness" So Timon in labelling himself
Misanthropos-- imam hater" pronounces
a verdict upon himself,
Timon had the misfortune to be born
not with asilver spoon in his mouth
it was golden, jewel encrusted spoon.
This is great handicap in the race Of
life. Timon was spendthrift. vast
ing his substances on flatters and boon
companions. He was hailed AZ a gen.
erous prtrono of crowd of cringing
and ohsequious followers. He plumed
himself on being fine liberal spirit.
But selfishness was the tap-root of his
giving. He did rot give to the deserv-
ing or to the needy or to those from
whom he received benefit or to his
creditors but he gave to the unworth
and the dissolute. A selfish applause
loving givingis as unworthy and bane-
fur thing. Arash, foolish, unintelligent
,and inniscriminate giving may do far
Z more evil than good. Money is a sacred
trust. We are Gods stewards in the
spending of our dollars as in the use of
anyother talent. The proper expenditure
of money is as much an ethical
question as it is an economic question.
One of the basest characters that
Charles Dickens has drawn is that of
Harold Skimpole with his mean evasion
of his natural obligations.
Timon while he thought highly of
himself was parasite upon society.
He made no contributions to the cowon
veal. He was far inferior to his hon.
est steward, Flavins, who is held up
to use as model Of feudal fidelity.
In this display of retainers devotion
to his Lords interests Shakespeare,
who with all his greatness was natural
ly clogged by medieval conceptions,
strikes a note that jars upon our mod
ern democratic generation. Friend
ship and mutual service between man
and man We understand and admire,
but the old humbug of feudal loyalty
we find essentially degrading. More
and more the world is finding out that

requested to call at the palace for the
purpose of extracting a molar from
the jaw OF Abdul Hamid, who since
has been dethroned.
Apparently the dentist did not use

structions of her husband and proceed.

not find him there and she went to
London, where she met with no better
success.
Then Mrs. Faber came to Philadel-
