Tag Day Receipts
Prove Disappointing

"Tag Day" receipts for the Boy Scouts
and the Fairgrounds of the District did
not come up to the expectations of those
in charge of the affair, only $3.50 being
brought into the Golfers of the organiza-
tions by sales of the tags on account of
the rain of Tuesday. Although the SELL
ing of the tags was continued ON We'd
nesday the spirit of the tagging" was
badly shattered by Tuesdays rain and
the chances of raising the 5000 hoped
for were practically eliminated.
Those in charge of the Boy Scouts
movement in the District said today
that the amount Of $500 would prob
ably be clear after all accounts are In
and bills are paid. Probably a little
more will be added to the sum through
subscriptions. Mr.. Martin. in charge of
the work, said that severa letters con-
tanning subscriptions from charitable
persons had been received at the head
quarters of the organization today.

posits and 100000 capital. E. B. White

81 Thank Thee, q Father"
II was in Jesus day as It mas ever
since been that not many OF the
great or rich or wise or learned had
ears TO hear the Gospel Message. The
difficulty with this class Is that the
things Of the present life 80 I'LL and
satisfy that they have no hungering
for the better things. Ehey have
their consolation now, they have their
pleasures now; they say, Soul, take
thine ease now, look out for number
one, and do not feel too much interest,"
IN or concern for other people and
their troubles: there are millions Of
poor groaning fellow-creatures, and
/ If you stop to sympathize with them
you will mar your own pleasure.
Thus It has been that the majority
Of the followers OF Jesus IN every
Age have been chiefly the poor of this
world rich in faith There art two
ways Of viewing this matter. On the
one hand we can rejoice with the poor
and less influential who have received
the Gospel Message, that doubtless
their poverty. etc, were favorable
factors to their advantage. And
! similarly. we can sympathize with the
great and rich and learned, that theiI
earthly blessings are binding them
TO the still greater opportunities OF
this Age, so that not many of then
will be of the Kingdom class-no
many Of them members Of the Bride
company, ioint-heirs with Jesus II
His Messianic Kingdom.
But hearken again to the words o
Jesus-how peculiarly they read: q"

these things from the wise ant

/ babes: even so. Father, for so II seem
