LONG MAKES a SPEECH.
kansas City Millionaire Admits He
Can't Take Wealth to Grave.

R. A Long, president of the National
Brotherhood of the Disciples Of Christ,
was the central figure at a $50 Broth
erhood dinner at the First Christian
church Saturday evening. The affair
was the occasion of the rallying of all
the Christian Brotherhood forces in
the city and it was attended by sew
eral hundred men.
Other speakers on the after dinner
program aside from Mr.. Long of KAN
sas City, who is often spoken of as the
Carnegie of the West" were the Rev.
c. NJ. Shilton of st. Louis president of
the American Christian Missionary So
ciety, and ]. K. Shellenberger, secre-
tary of the National Brotherhood.
What is a brotherhood ?" was
question asked by Mr.. Long. My an
swer is that Of gathering men together
and cooperating to promote the great
est thing on earth-the fellowship of
men in the church of Jesus Christ No
man however Indifferent he is to
church work, would want to live in a
churchless town, or to raise his chill
dren in such town. Then why don't
more men support the church, not
alone with their contributions, but by
their presence and their personal
work?
I'VE can take none of our wealth
with us when we leave this earth. If
we have not lived in keeping with the
teaching of the great book, We can not
enter into the kingdom of Cod We
are our brothers keeper, even though
our brother is born in the slum sec
ton of the city. We are responsible
for his loss of the kingdom The
brotherhood is for such a purpose.
*.The first brotherhood met in my
office in November, 1908. Money was
spent to spread the idea throughout
the United States. Now we are ap-|
pea1ing to you men to help support the
movemen
ITO make it success it must be
financed by all the people. I agree to
donate 25 per cent of the total amount
need ed from this time forward to carry
the brotherhood to success"
TOO many men have not carved out
a place in their lives for the church.
said J. K. SheIlenberger- .'They do not
realize that the church is the biggest
thing, the best thing and the produc-
tive thing in life.
1.-THE brotherhood is trying to give
laymen the idea that the church is the
one institution that tends toward pros
perity and happiness. I. actually pays
to put the kingdom of God first. The
church makes the community a clean
er and safer place in which to rear

Proving That Beauty Is
Only Skin Deep
(From Dramatic Circle.)

A very interesting proof of the old
adage has lately been brought to the
notice of fashionable women at New
port and Atlantic City. It has been
discovered that even the blotchiest
and muddiest compilations are merely
masks that cover perfect pink and
white skins which may be easily re-
vealed. All that is necessary is to
rub on ordinary pure coleated balsam,
which is kept in stock at all up-to-date
drug stores; the purifying and cleans
ing properties of coleated balsam be-
come active at once. and the outer skin
quickly flecks off in tiny particles and
prestol there is the bright young COM
plexion of sweet sixteen. as if it had
never been impaired at all.
OF course, all such blemishes as sal
lowness, pinples. liver spots, freckles,
etc, come off with the removal of the
outer skin.
