of my dear husband, William T..
Davis, who departed from us one
year ago today.
One year has passed, and still l
miss you,
Friends may think the wound is
healed;
But they little know the sorrow
That's within my heart concealed.
Hour by hour l saw him fade
And slowly sink away,
Yet in my heart l often prayed
That he might longer stay.
God gave him-He took him,
My loss, it was their gain;
He left me with a broken heart,
But not one blemish on my name
Thou art not forgotten, husband
dear,
Or ever will thou be;
As long as life and memory last

THE CHURCH SUFFERS.
Church Advertising in baltimore
Has Called Attention To Some
Weak Spots In Official Boards
OF The Church.

That it is not the profession that
counts, but the practice, has been
clearly shown by the advertising
campaign that has been carried on
for the churches in Baltimore since
the first of January. There are
many persons who think that so
long as their public professions are
made that privately they can do
anything they like and get away
with it. The following which ap-
peared recently in one of the ad-
vertisements shows that the public
is not fooled at all; that it reCog-
nizes when one is a hypocrite just
as quickly as the person guilty; it
recognizes, too, that it is impossible
for one to serve God and the Devil
at one and the same time.
The notices were as follows:
May 17.-Notice is hereby given
to all workers of iniquity in high
places, be they Sunday School SUI
perintendents, DeacOns. Elders or
Vestrymen-aIl Corruptionists whose
foundation for Success is THE Peo-
pie Will Soon Forget et''-that through
these columns, in the interest OF
the Christian Church, We propose to
see that the people do not forget.
This in the advertisement of May
24th:
Yes. with dismay and shame, the
Church has to own up to numbering
even in her organization certain
shams and hypocrites. But the
Church is not proud of it, and looks
forward to the day when she shall
be relieved of the embarrassment
she is occasioned by these Pharisees
assuming places of prominence and
leadership in her body.
When another gentleman, acting
in his private capacity as a Sunday
School superintendent, at the same
time in his public legal work be-
comes so involved with the ma
chinations of a corrupt City Ring
that even the children of his neigh
borhood find in the Inconsistency
cause for levity, the Gospel is brou
ght into reproach.
There are men in the ministry of
the churches who have the virilfty
and courage of their convictions to
deal with such sources of Reproach
to the Gospel without gloves; to
follow the admonition of st. Paul
Rebuke, Reprove and Exhort. Such
a zone is the Rev. John Roach Stra-
ton, who (by strange coincidence)
has selected for the subject of his
Sunday evenings address a topic
which promises to be a development
of the subject of this advertise
ment. To all lovers of a plain,
from-the-shoulder talk on
Christianity, we recon-
mend attendance upon this service
at the Seventh Baptist Church.
Following the sermon alluded in
the advertisement, DR.. Straton
requested City Solicitor SIS. Field
to resign as Superintendent of the
ssss;;,l day
that follow for SO doing:
ITO my way of thinking, for a
man to be hobnobbing during the
week with Sonny Mahon and Bob
Padgett, and to put himself upon
record in the public prints as OPP
,posed to the closing of the saloons
upon the low ground of the possible
financial embarrassment to the ad-
ministration, and then on Sunday to
stand before the young in the ca
pacity of Sunday School Superin-
tendent, is so incongruous that the
picture needs only to be drawn to
be made absurd

Many persons who are fond Of
bread have, it seems, been opposing
the modern sanitary method OF having
all bread wrapped and sealed cold and
not handled by clerks or exposed to
dust, flies, germs and filth on counters
or in wagons The Bureau Of Chem
istry OF the Department OF Agricul-
ture regards the wrapping OF bread
as SO important tha; il has caused the

HOPE TO RAISE LARGE SUM
Millions Of Red Cross Christmas Seals
70 Be Sold for Anti-TUbereu-
losis Work.

Few people have any idea OF the
magnitude Of the Red Cross Christmas
seal campaign This year over 100
OOO. 600 seals have been printed and
distributed II placed end-to-end
these seals would extend nearly 1900
miles, or practically from New York
to Salt Lake City. They have been
sent to over $4,000 different agents
and will be sold and handled by an
army of not less than 100000 volun-
teers. including men, women and chill
dren. Millions of advertising circu-
lars have been scattered throughout
the country, and so thoroughly has
the advertising campaign been or
ganized that it is doubtful il many
people in the more populous states
of the country will not have heard of
the Red Cross seal and its mission in
the prevention of tuberculosis. 1t is
hoped that at least 50,000000 seals
may be sold this year. The principle
upon which the sale of seals is based
is that every cent except what little
is needed to cover the actual cost OF
printing and handling shall be spent
for tuberculosis work in the commu-
nifty, where the seals are sold.

Cause Of Poverty.
By G. H. ALFoRD0

We must diversity our crops and
keep our money at home to build mag
nificent homes, churches, school
houses. and good roads, and to edu-
cate our children and fill our banks
to overlooking; keep out of debt and
insist on getting all that we buy at the
lowest price for cash; increase the
fertility of our soils by reducing wash
ing to the minimum, by deep blowing
and turning under vegetable matter,
rotation of crops, including legumin-
Gus crops, and the addition of barn
yard manure and ground phosphate
rock; plant the most prolific seed in
stead of seed that have run out; use
economic plants, such as legumes,
and small grains and sorghum for
feed instead of so much expensive
corn; use commercial fertilizers jul

our soil better preparation and fire.

use of more horse power is probably
the most effective remedy for poverty
in the south.
he DlS hSy W d5llSuiNNi0 O. A~iNi -
in the south is more horse power and
laborsaving implements on the farm,
The average farm worker tolls with
a small mule or horse, and his total
annual income is only about $14S. In
Iowa, the average farm worker uses
nearly four large horses and produces
$81111 annually, exclusive of stock
An analysis of the different states
show a much smaller use of power on
the southern farms than in any other
section of the country, and conse-
quently less use of labor-saving farm
implements and correspondingly lower
capacity of the farmers.
Probably the chief cause of poverty
in the south is the one-horse breaking
