BAPTIST CHURCHES PLANNING
ACTIVE SUMNER SCHEDULE

II the size Of attendance at prayer
meetings is, as It is often said. an in
dex- Of the interest OF a church, the out
look at Fifth Church is very bright in
deed. The prayer meetings there, says
Pastor Briggs, have never been better
attended or more interesting. The pas
tor has been giving a series Of expOsi-
tons on the book OF Ruth" Next
Thursday evening the prayer meeting
will be led by Rev. G. w. Mccullough,
OF Mount Tabor Church, TennallytOwn.
Pastor P. B. Warrington of Maryland
Avenue Church, is also proud OF the at
tendance at his prayer meetings. I'VE
have almost as large an attendance at
our prayer meetings" Pastor Waiting
ton says, "as we do at our church serv-
ices" A similar sense Of announcement
is felt at the Centennial Church, where
Pastor E. Hez Sven conducts every
Thursday evening his Pleasant Hour
a term which Pastor Sven believes TO be
superior TO the more solemn prayer
With the idea OF keeping open house
and all the departments OF the church
in full blast during the summer. electric
fans have been Installed in both the
school room and auditorium Of
the Fifth Church.

IN The RELIGIOUS WORLD
The Trend Of Things

Eleven Congresationalists, ten Dis
clples. four Methodists, one Universal-
list, and one Gregorian make up the
class of 1919 that was graduated from
Yale Divinity School recently. Dean
Browns first year has proven a very
successful one and the outlook for Yale
Divinity is said to be most encouraging.
Rev. Charles E. Jefferson, pastor Of
Broadway Congregational Tabernacle,
New York, has been given an eight
months vacation. y with Mrs. Jefferson
he plans to tour the British Isles and
visit Egypt and the Orient
Rev. r. S. Macarthur, president Of the
Baptist World Alliance, and acting pas
tor Of the Baptist Tabernacle, Atlanta,
Ca, will preach the dedication sermon
at Ivemont, New York City, June Is, Of
the new Baptist church built by his son,
Rev. Kenneth Macarthur, pastor.
Owing, IT is said. to some apprehen-
sion lest the Federal Council should take
too active a part IN politics, the South
ern Presbyterians. numbering nearly
10000 communicates, withdrew last year
from affiIiation with the Federal Coun-
ell. At their recent assembly these
Southern Presbyterians reversed the ac-
ton Of a year ago and became again
connected with this clearing house OF all
the churches, with which thlrty-three
evangelical denominations are now af-
fliated.
The machine, the police, and the vice
question, it is said, have been for years
intimately related in Philadelphia's mu-
nicipal government, and a careful policy
is needed to dissociate them. Mayor
Blankepburg has now appointed, after
patient consultation, a vice commission
of representative clergymen. lawyers.
and business men, not one Of whom is
identified with professional reform as re-
CARDS this particular evil. 1t will be a
quiet, nonspectacular, businesslike dag
nosis of the whole situation, with spe-
cific measures to be proposed to city
councils. Dramatic raids on suspected
advanced by certain reformers, are be-
ing tabooed as reform measures.
The Presbyterian Church has just ceIe-
brated the twenty-ffth anniversary Of
its Sabbath school missionary work. The
recent general assembly at Louisville
requested all its schools to make this
a speciality as far as possible. Rev.
Alexander Henry, of Philadelphia, secre-
tEry OF its Sabbath School Board, points
out that millions are expended annually
for the secular education Of children.
while this board is the only agency Of
the Presbyterian Church providing for
their religious education. Presbyterians
in twenty-five years have advanced
from 5,7n schools in 1881, to nearly 10000
in 1912, and the membership from TO-
S43 TO $4,000. They have organized
90 900 schools in these twenty-five years
and gathered 10000 into them.
Churches have developed to the number
OF 1,50O and special Sabbath school mis-
sionaries have gone from fourteen to l2l
now in service. Twenty-Five colporteurs
are constantly visiting foreign settle
ments and the Young Peoples Society
an allied organization, co-operates in
the whole business.

Sunday Music nt Chevy Chase Lake.

Large crowds ride out to Chevy Chase
Lake Sunday, as well as other evenings,
to hear the Marine Band musicians per-
form. Programmes OF extra length are
rendered, and the hundreds Of rustic
seats about the music shell are well
filled. In event of rain the musicians
perform in the pavilion. which is spa
ciOUs enough to AFFORD shelter for quite
a number. Dancing is on the card
every weekday evening, and can be
named as the most popular attraction,
without fear Of contradiction. Bizarre
terpsichorean displays are barred by the
management, and the straight waltz,
Boston and two-step can be tripped
without fear Of interruption from a
'Turkey-trotting' couple, who want the
whole floor.
New among the amusement devices Of
fered this year at the lake is a large
merTy-go-round, which has many fea-
lures and similar devices that other re-
sorts lack. 1t is very popular with pa
irons. old and young. Chevy Chase troll
ley service is always adequate for the
heaviest traffic.

CHAPTER v.-Continued.

Back in Dawson, though he remained
true to his word and never touched
hand to pick and shovel, he worked as
hard as ever in his life. He had
thousand irons in the fire, and they
kept him busy. Heavy as were his
expenses. he won more heavily. He
took lays, bought half shares, shared
with the men he grub-staked and made
personal locations. Day and night his
dogs were ready, and he owned the
fastest teams; so that when a stam-
pede to a new discovery was on, 1t was
Burning Daylight to the fore through
the longest, coolest nights till he
blazed his stakes next to Discovery.
In one way or another Ito say nothing
of the many worthless creeks) he
came into possession of properties on
the good creeks. such as Sulphur, Do
minion, Excelsis, Siwash, Cristo, Al
hambra, and Doolittle. The thousands
he poured out flowed back in tens OF
thousands.
Dawson grew rapidly that winter OF
1896. Money poured in on Daylight
from the sale of town lots. He prompt
ly invested it where 1t would gather
more. In fact. he played the danger
Gus game of pyramiding, and no more
perilous pyramiding than in a placer
camp could be imagined. But he
played with his eyes wide open.
Corner lots In desirable locations
sold that winter for from ten to thirty
thousand dollars. Daylight sent word
out over the trails and passes for the
newcomers to bring down log-rafts.
and, as a result, the summer of 1897
saw his saw mills working day and
night, on three shifts. and still he had
logs left over with which to build
cabins. These cabins. land included.
sold at from one to several thousand
dollars. Two-story log buildings, in
the business part of town. brought him
from forty to fifty thousand dollars
apiece. These fresh accretions of cap,
ital were Immediately invested in 9th
er ventures. He turned gold over and
over, until everything that he touched
seemed to turn to gold.
With the summer rush from the Out
eide came special correspondents for
the big newspapers and magazines.
and one and all, using unlimited space,
they wrote Daylight up; so that. so far
as the world was concerned, Daylight
loomed the largest figure in Alaska. or
course, after several months. the
world became interested in the Span
ish War, and forgot all about him; but
in the Klondike itself Daylight still re-
uained the most prominent figure

and other sourdoughs shook their
heads and laughed as they mentioned

Queen Anne, OF Juneau made open
and ridiculous love to him For that
matter, he never had known women.
Born in a mining-camp where they
were rare and mysterious, having no

But II was left to the Virgin to give

and she had left no message, no ex.

wit. voicing public opinion. called 1t a
case of too much Daylight. She had
killed herself because of him. Every
body knew this, and said so. The cor
respondents wrote II up, and once
more Burning Daylight, King OF the
Klondike, was sensationally featured
In the Sunday supplements OF the
United States. The Virgin had

entered a Dawson City dance-hall.
When she first arrived from Circle
City, she had earned her living by
washing clothes. Next. she had bought

mittens Then she had gone as a clerk

and more. was known and told, though
one and all were agreed that Day

innocent cause OF her untimely end.
And the worst Of It was that Day
