CHURCH FOR CHILDREN ONLY
Worcester, Mass, Has First InstItu-
ton Of It's klnd-collectlon
Taken Up by Boys.

The original chlldren's church of
America, organized along the exact
lines of the larger ones, has been es-
tablished at Worcester, Mass, by Rev.
C. F. Hill Crathern.
The service is similar to that for
adults. At the opening a familiar
hymn is sung and then comes the
prayer, during which all the children
bow their heads. The scripture lesson
is read by Rev. Mr. Crathern from one
iof the versions Of the Holy Writ
which is in story form. The collection
is taken up by four boys.
This is followed by a sermon by
Rev. Mr.. Crathern Of a nature that
ANY child could understand.
The children, in order to be active
imembers Of the church, have to sub
scribe to a simple creed and in add
ton must know the Ten Command
lments, the Shepherds psalm. the beat
Iitudes, the new commandment, the
faithful saying, the apostles creed
and the meaning Of the Sacrament.
To aid them in preparation for mem.
lbership there Is a weekly class at the
home Of the pastor, where all can
learn what is necessary in order to
become full members. The plan is
to have the children step from their
church into the adult body when the
proper time comes.
A choir Of boys has been organized
and at least one hymn is sung by them
At every service. The girls Of the
church have organized themselves
into a society which has been called
the Lambs Of the Flock, whose work
"A 10 look after charitable work.

OLDEST "CITW IN AMERICA
Scientists Discover Copan Buried In
the Forests Of Honduras, Was
Once Busy Center.

You were doubtless taught that st.
Augustine, Fla, is the oldest city In
America, and 80 far as settlements by
Europeans are concerned that Is prob
ably correct, but scientists know OF
city so old that there is no telling
when II was built. and they often
speak Of 1t as the Oldest city in
America" This city" Is Copan, bu-
ried in the forests of Honduras, near
the Guatemala boundary line. It Is
not q city in the modern sense OF the
word, for II is only heap OF ruins,
but there is enough to show that at
some time centuries and centuries ago
1t was a busy center Of population.
Then the Maya Indians Of Yucatan
and Central America were at the
height of their civilization. They
built cities by constructing the bases
of great pyramids out Of blocks OF
stone OF enormous size. These blocks
were taken from quarries some times
two miles distant. were conveyed to
the "city" and placed in the wall In
perfect order, and yet 1t Is not known
that the Mayas had any machinery
for handling such heavy material.
The pyramidal base Of Copan is
built up to considerable height, and
upon the fiat top are placed the pal
aces, the affairs and other smaller
pyramids. From all evidence Copan
was in ruins when Cortez conquered
Mexico in 1921. TIE Spaniard and his
soldiers passed within short distance
Of It and did not see the town at all,
SO It must have been deserted even
then. And yet the ruins Of Copan
bear evidence Of having lain there.
buried amid the luxurlant foliage OF
Honduras, for ages, and only some
crude inscriptions on the rocks can
give q clue to the history Of the won
derful place. These inscriptions and
carvings still defy solution. There are
statues and images made Of rock, but
they are meaningless. Copan's history
is unknown and so scientists are
wont to speak Of 1t as the oldest city
in America"

CHARITY AND CHEWING GUM
Disparity That Hardly Seems Credit
able to the Generous Instincts
Of the Race.

According to a statement before
meeting of the Women's Foreign Mis-
meeting of the Women's Foreign Mis-
sionary society Of the Presbytery OF
Washington an interesting statement
regarding the money spent for chew
ing gum and that given to charity was
made. The speaker was Miss Mary
W. Kerr Of Harrisburg, Pa, in connec-
ton with the topic OF "Frenzled FL
nance in Missions" In urging the so
ciety to be more liberal in its contri-
buttons to charitable work; she said:
For every $4,000 contributed to
charity, $4,000 is spent for chewing
gum"
The statement passed almost I'M
noticed except by few, who saw the
pertinence and logic Of the remark.

TO MAKE IMITATION FROST
Any Boy or Girl Can Almost Perfectly
Duplicate the Beautiful Hoar
Seen on Trees.


Everyone has seen and greatly adj
mired the boar frosts that deck the
trees and telegraph wires in the
spring and fall Of each year, but 1t
will be news to many to learn that
this exquisite picture made by nature
can be almost perfectly initiated
Any boy or girl can do the trick. Take
a sprig Of some plant and set 1t on
q small wooden stand in the center OF
which is a small. stout dish contain
ing benzoic acid. II spirit lamp
containing alcohol is placed under the
dish and a glass jar over 1t and the
twig the acid will turn to vapor.
When It cools a beautiful deposit Of
white crystals will be seen on the
twig. If there is difficulty in getting
a Jar a wide bottle Of large size will
do, the lower part Of the bottle being
removed by the burning Of a strand
Of wool which has previously been
dipped in turpentine. When the ex-
pertinent is performed the cork must
be left in the bottle to prevent the
vapor from escaping.

DIsFIGURED WITH ECZEMA

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but o few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back Of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples. his lit
tie face was disngured very much.
We hardly knew what he looked like.
The face looked like raw meat We
tied little bags of cloth over his
hands to prevent him from scratching.
He was very restless at night, his
little face itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine Of the
two doctors without any result, we
read Of the Cuticura Remedies, and at
once bought the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the re-
suit, and after four weeks the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has q
head of hair which is o pride for any
boy Of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H.

The italian government, on account
Of the number of tuberculosis cases
among the Italian emigrants sent back

It is to report the arrival of tubercu-
