to the pastorate of the Centennial Baptist
Church at Sth and I streets northeast.
In making the call the Centennial Church
has invited the Capital and Columbia

serving. to unite with it.
The location of the Centennial Church
is regarded as in the center of a field
which is large and inviting for Baptist

The field also is said to have unusual
school work. The building is reached by
any car line in the District for one fare

is declared, will have but little difficulty
in attending the preaching services.

three congregations is that the Centen-
NAL congregation has a large lot on the
northeast corner of 7th and I streets
northeast, which is regarded as an ideal
location for q new Baptist Church build

All LEE BUNG AGAIN!
This Time He Tries to Tame Cupid
Along Celestial Lines.

Wallace Irwin has really created re-
markable character in his All Lee Bung,
one Of the most delightful Cinnamon that
ever came from the pen Of an author.
The shrewdness and blandness of this Ce-
lestial are equaled only by his apparent
innocence and insistence upon remaining
true to the oriental ideas that came down
from the law OF his sacred grandfather.
In his zeal to do the right thing at all
times he almost invariably gets himself
and those concerned in his doings in an
noying, though humorous, complications.

Tommy's attainments to marry girl
without money, no matter how beautiful
she might be or how much the swain
might think himself In love with her, and.
so. in the self-imposed role Of Schatzen.
he set about to fix things up between
Tommy and another girl OF the same
neighborhood Eho happened to be rich
heiress. In the working out of the
various complications that ensued the
mental agonies. But when the evil Ell
fects OF his interloping became apparent.
All Lee was the first to feel sorry, and
delivered himself as fellows addressing
Tommy:
