NOTES OF THE ZION BAPTIST
CHURCH.

The men of Zion outdid themselves
in the banquet which was served to
the ladies of the church last Monday
evening, when three hundred sat
down to a most delightful repast.
The church auditorium was trans
formed into a huge dining room with
250 feet of tables, beautiful in white
linen, china, glassware and silver.
These We're taxed to their capacity
and a more delightful evening was
never spent by the church.
Among the guests of the men were
number of friends from other
churches in the city whose presence
added 10 the pleasure and delight OF
the evening. Each person was served
to his hearts content with as elab-
crate a menu as the city and season
could afford. There was roast tur-
key, brown gravy, French creamed
peas, mashed potatoes, cranberry
sauce, tender celery, potato salad,
bread and butter, black coffee. ice
cream and cake and each diner was
served till enough was said.
And, ah, the cooking. 1t is doubt
full whether mother herself could eN-
eel it. tThis is the verdict OF the
women
The service was par excellence.
Bro. Bert Ellis acted as head waiter,
owing to the fact that Bro. Chas.
Muse could not leave his work il
time to take charge. Bro. Muse came
little late and rendered most eff
Cient help in making things go. The
waiting force was made up OF men
OF experience and never was better
service rendered.
The most difficult question the men
had to face was to convince the
women that the food was actually
man-cooked. But its fact The
pastor is willing to stake his reputa-
ton on it. he actually saw them at
it. There was j. r. Green, J. ].
Bates, $. Il. Elan and Peter Fossect.
These are the guilty parties and a
better team never entered kitchen.
However it would be difficult thing
to make list OF all who worked. 1t
is easier TO simply say the men of
Zion" assisted by few of our
staunch good friends, that's enough.
The women declare that they are
going to even up with the men and
there is no question OF the ability of
the women of Zion to do it, though
some of the men are doubters.
The pastor is delighted. Again the
CONGREGATION has shown its possibili-
ties The good TO the church work
can hardly be estimated and the con-
tention of the pastor that men fully
organized are a power in the church
work is more than justified.
On the whole the banquet was very
like one seen recently in Ell Jebel
Temple. Zion has against set the
pace.
The holidays are now past and the
church is considering a series OF
meetings under the preaching of DR..
Tillman of Wichita, who will prob
ably begin January 14th. Dr. Till
man is one of the strongest men in
the country. When a people want
the pure, uuadulterated gospel. he
has 1t.
Next Sunday is our covenant and
communion service, which will be
held at 2:30 p. m. We hope that
every member possible will be pres
ent.

Sharkey, in an interview with the New
York correspondent of THE Standard
the other day, mournfully admitted that
the liquor business is on the way down
and attributed the decline to the love OF
athletics, which now seems to be IN the
hearts of the rising generation.
Everybody in America" says Sharkey,
seems TO want to be an athlete. A EEL
low can't be an athlete and drink at the
same time, and the consequence Is that
lots of saloons are going out OF business
notice in my place that there is not
near as much whiskey drunk as there
was two years ago. People who drink
make it beer 1t is not because they
cannot afford whiskey or wine, but be-
cause they are afraid that alcohollc
drinks will spoil them as athletes.
The thing that is doing the most dam
age to the liquor trade is schoolboy attn
letics. Schoolboys everywhere In Amer
lea now are being brought up to be ath-
letes. Every schoolboy has training
ideas hammered into him constantly. He
is taught that he cannot be an athlete
and drink or smoke, and so he cuts ou'
tobacco and alcohol. Then he gets into
the habit, and when he grows up tn
habit sticks"

Major Hoppin has been in Europe for the

that the European standards are higher
than the American and that the equip

especially enthusiastic on the subject of
English soldiers, remarking that they
take the field much better prepared for
action than the American soldiers.

DRAKE" TO TEACH NATION
New Play a Preachment on Eng

CAREFULLY AVOIDS SCANDAL
Sir Herbert Tree Says Life of
Hero Contains Lessons
for Posterity.
IBy Gable TO The Tribune. ]

London, July 6.-Sir Herbert Tree has
given us some idea Of l.. n. Parker's
plav Drake" which he Is to produce in
September. For one thing. Sir Herbert
himself will not appear in 1t. Lyn Hard
ing will take the part of Drake, and
Phyllis Nelson Terry that Of Queen
Elizabeth. The latter part has been
carefully written and avoids all mention
of scandal.
The play is divided into three acts Of
three scenes each. and covers the period
from 1871 TO 1888. 1t seems that to
some extent it is intended as preach
ment on the needs Of the modern Eng
lish navy. or the play Sir Herbert says:
The career of Drake is replete with
instructive lessons for us of to-day, and
his epoch is crowded with tremendous
issues which may be studied with profit
and advantage. In writing the develop
ment Of the plot Mr.. Parker kept such
considerations we'll in view.
