even of the devoutest church
goers. Cold feet make cold
hearts. The glare of a sultry
summer sun through unshaded
windows reflected from bare walls
and the oft-breathed air of an
unventilated room make the
most alert minds fall sweetly
asleep under the most impassion-
ed appeals. Church buildings
should be so constructed as to
conduce to physical happiness
and this the present church build
ing in Burke's Garden, as we'll
as in many other communities,
does not do, either in winter or
in summer. And surely if a
beautiful church building, with
furnishings attracts us by ap-
pealing to our sense of the
beautiful, as our homes attract
us, it is worth while to build
beautifully as we'll as comfort
ably. A beautiful church build
ing is magnet drawing even
the Indifferent. But not only is
the pride of the community rous-
ed in the building of this new
church, but. a crtain flow of SEN
timent has been crystalized in
this purpose. A sentiment of
love and reverence and gratitude
at the memory Of what those
who sleep in the nearby cemetery
have done for the community
and for the world. What our
fathers did in their day and gen
Grafton has come down to US of
the present generation as holy
inspiration to do as well and
more in our day and generation.
We dare not do less. So this new
church is to be, as the name ex-
presses, memorial to the fami-
lies who have made the commun-
ity what it is and who shall in
the building of this new struc-
ture not only memorialize the
faith and works of the fathers
but project far into eternity the
best that lives in the sons. The
building of the new church, then,
is ain opportunity that will not
come again, certainly not in this
generation, nor the next. The
building of this church withstand
as a monument to the builders
long after the sod has thickened
over their graves. Too much SEN
timent cannot be built into it.
On this spot friends have greet
ed friends; loved ones have shed
the tears of the last sad farewell
for more than a century. Cooling
babes have grown into laughing
school-boys and girls; and these
same boys and girls into ripe
and responsible manhood and
womanhood in this old meeting
place. No other spot could be
half so sacred, no other spot hall
so fraught with sweet or sac
associations! Is it any wonder,

The coming Fair reminds me,
that there are some good reasons
why some good folks are in
different, and take no interest
in the exhibition. One serious OBJ.

for years, the condition of the

man cares to run the gauntle of

that have been passing through
the minds of those who have
originated the movement for the
new building, and which will
appeal to every man and woman
in Burke's Garden, and will be
echoed from the hearts of hund-
reds of fine men and women
which the community has given
to the world. The paragraphs
that follow, and which are to be
used as a sort of heading to the
subscription list soon to be cir
culated, will set forth more fully
the plan and purpose of the new
church. This is a business pro-
position and will be presented
in business-like way to bust
ness people, and no one will be
unduly urged or pressed into
making a subscription. 1t is an
opportunity and it is confidently
believed and hoped that not a
single resident of Burke's Gard
en- or any one who has ever lived
in the community will decline to
invest something in an enter
prise which will pay a dividend
not only Immediately but will
be priceless heritage to gener-
ations to follow. Let us do this
thing gladly, handsomely. No
thing we can do will count half so
much for the uplift of the COM
munity. Such church as the
one contemplated, a church in
which the community shall con-
tinue, as it has always been,
really united in all religious in
terests and free from sectarian
jealousies, will not only make
for the uplift of Burke's Garden
for decades to come, but will
tone up the whole surrounding
community. None of us shall
pass this way again, and we
have certainly all got to go out
sooner or later. This is our day
and generation. What can we
do that will count for more than
the building of this Community
Memorial Church!
The subscription heading
follows:
Whereas, Burke's Garden
maintains a history dating back
to American pioneer days, with
long list of names of honorable

Whereas, This community has

LUTHERAN NORMAL
IN BURKE'S GARDEN

There is a great convention in
progress in Burke's Garden. 1t
is the 4th annual Sunday School
normal of the Evangelical Luth-
eran Synod of Southwest Vir-
ginia. There is n large attend
ancc of visiting delegates from
the Sunday Schools Of the Luth-
eran churches of the territory
represented, especially from
Rural Retreat, and other church
es in Wythe county. This is pro-
perly credited largely to the fact
that two Of the previous normals
have been held at Rural Retreat.
There is an able faculty in
charge of the instruction. Rev.
ID. II. Bauslin, DID,, dean of the
Lutheran Theological Seminary
at Springfield, Ohio, has been
giving some most inspiring and
helpful addresses on subjects of
popular interest. 1t is impossible
to describe his work properly
here. raA,
Rev. A. G. Voigt, ID. d., dean
of the Theological Seminary Of
the Southern Lutheran church,
is giving a series of very help
full lectures on practical methods
of studying and teaching the
Bible and the use of the church
history in the instruction of the
Sunday School.
Rev. T.. G.. Cronk, d. d., is
giving instruction in practical
methods of organization and
operation of the Sunday School
and giving special attention to
the work of the missionary train
ing in the Sunday School and
has given two very interesting
stereoptican lectures, the one on
THE Home Base" i. e., the in
stitutions and resources of the
church at home, and another on
Japan and the Mission of the
Lutheran church there. Mrs.
Cronk, who, as her husband, is
a specialist in Sunday School
work, is doing excellent work
on her subjects under the theme
of Teaching How to Teach"
She is helping to take care of
the breathing time, coming in
twice a day for a period of five
minutes each. when she gives
practical demonstration of what
can be done in particles of time.
AS has often been the case else
where, the woman in the case
is proving about the most inter-
esting feature of the normal.
Rev. 7. o. Keister, DID,, gave
a lecture on Adult Class Work
and Rev. j. A. Morehead, DID,,
on Christian Education as related
to the Sunday School.
All numbers of the program
are proving most excellent and
helpful. The workers will 90

tion and good methods and fired

Insane man, Denied Death and Resur

Gravestones.

Shreveport, La.-I wanted to see Ii
the Saviour was a man of his word"
was the only explanation Abraham
Walchansky gave the police for
wrecking Oakland cemetery.
Oakland contains the bodies OF
many of the leading families OF
Shreveport and more than twenty
graves were torn up and tombstones
of many others overturned.
Walchansky is young man of good
family. Recently he is said to have
manifested symptoms of being unbaE
anced mentally. Previous to that he
had attracted attention by his Pc
culiar religious beliefs.
One morning he visited the GENE
terry and laid himself at full length
on a grave, expecting, he explained,
to die peacefully and have the Saviour
resurrect him.
Death did not arrive as per ex-
pectations. and in a fit of rage Wei
chansky rose and began his work OF
destruction.
He tore down headstones, and when
the police arrived they found a score
of these scattered over the walks and
in the pathways.
Nalchansky was released from the
parish prison after having telephoned
a merchant that he intended to kill
him. The authorities gathered him
in in time to prevent bloodshed

TOBACCO USERS MAY PAY 1,
Plan to Build Roads by New Duty
Ito Be Imposed on the
Weed.

Rochester.-The building of $4,000
miles of federal road at the expense
OF the tobacco users of this country
is the plan of the National Highway
association, which is being presented
in Rochester by G. p. Bethel, organ
izer for the association, who is meet
ing with good success in securing
members.
In addressing meeting of the Com
mercial club, Mr.. Bethel declared that
the program of the association was
the only feasible solution of the con-
struction Of federal highways. At the
last session of congress, he said, six
ty-three bills had been presented from
different sections, all favoring section.
al interests for the construction of
highways, but all met with failure.
The National Highway association
purposes to ask congress to pass a
bill for the creation of a fund of $780,
100000, $50,000,000 of which is to be
spent each year upon the building of
$4,000 miles Of road, which will touch
every congressional district in the
country. The association proposes an
ad valorem tax upon tobacco to raise
the amount.
