Solve the Problem of Extending
Usefulness of Institution.

New Haven-One of the smallest
churches in this country is the Parker
Comm A. M. E. Zion church of Meri-
den, it's membership numbering but
seven regular members with an aver
age attendance at church of about
fifteen persons.
The smallest of the congregation

terested in the church 1t has been
organized sincce 1890, but never
seems to grow "uy larger despite the
efforts of revi, Lists and well known
colored organizers who have visited
the church for the purpose OF building
it up.
During its twenty-five years of exist
ence many preachers have been as
signed to the pastorate, but owing to
the smallness of the congregation OF
late years it has been impossible to
raise enough money to pay the preach
er for his services.
At the last meeting of the Methodist
conference the question of the Parker
church was discussed at length by the

treasury, and the congregation, were

w. c. Andrews, lay preacher hold
ing a pastorate in Providence on
salary, then came forward and offered
his services as preacher.
Leaving his family behind. the
preacher went to Meriden, where he
assumed charge. Inasmuch as he had
no income, it become compulsory up
on him to provide a roof. for himself
Occurring some old boards and tim
bers, the preacher built small room
on the rear of the church. For weeks
he labored from morning to night until
at last he had for himself cozy
home at no expense to the church.
Determined still further that ths
church would not have to support him,
he cast around for suitable position
whereby he could earn enough to live

What Fine Flour Lacks.

Fine -four bread contains all the
elements of nutrition, but not in pro
per proportion. Wheat contains the
nutr'tive elements in right proper
lions. An important nutritive element
which is almost entirely lacking in
fine -four bread are the lime salts.
Fine -four bread contains only one
grain of lime to the pound, while
whole wheat bread contains four times
as much" According to Professor
Sherman of Columbia university, lime
starvation is becoming almost univer-
sal because of the use of fine flour
bread.
The question of digestibility is not
one of Importance in relation to
bread, for whole-wheat bread is d.
gestible enough. The complete diges-
tibility of fine flour bread is one of it's
Objectionable features, since it leads
to constipation, which in turn leads
to intestinal autointoxication, bilious
ness" and numerous other troubles.

More Than 10000 Americans
Are Doing" Panama.
Interesting and Curious Throng Spend
Their Time Riding Over the
Isthmus in Siqhtsee-

Colon, Panama.-The rush of tour
lists to the isthmus is in full blast.
No doubt, the record will go higher
than last year, or any year, but there
are no signs that it will total the fig
ures given in the forecasts of the
steamship managers working their
special brand of enthusiasm. Pana-

will exceed 10000, but that number

able people in its New York sense of
the word. The latter have barely, It
would seem, heard of it. They can
only move in little certified fiocks
The great bulk, however, is made
up of successful business men and
their wives and families, for whom
nothing is too good.

SHORT, BRIGHT, LITTLE COATS
Russian Blouse Reaching Almost to
the Hem of the Skirt, Is the
Latest Idea.

The long, classic jacket for tailored
Costumes has this spring become
shorter The fronts are rounded or
cut square, and the general effect is
very smart. The Russian blouse is
suggested, but the lower portion is
plated and made to fall very long.
This is not SO effective in wooden
goods as in soft stuffs such as crepe,
supple silk or mousseline. One of
Poiet's best examples of this cut is a
blouse that becomes kind of redin-
cote, plated from the waist and fall
ing almost to the hem of the oyster
satin skirt. The redingote is in buff
moussenline, with bid red and green
roses.
When any of the rich, dark-colored
tailor suits have to be frightened this
is done by introducing flies" or three
cornered ornaments, embroidered in
silk. These are put in the corners or
seams or in darts. The color is gen.
orally red, yellow or violet. Some OF

Costume Appropriate in All Its Details
That Was Central Figure at a
Recent Wedding.

A dainty straw toque, worn at re-
cent wedding, was of prune color, with
plaitings of maline in the same color
encircling the crown. There we're two

velvet seemed to hold the base of
tall fan of the plated malines which
rose some inches above the hat This
hat accompanied wonderfully
draped gown of prune-colored satin
brocade and lansdowne in the same
shade; the silk and worsted lans-
downe forming an underdrapery be-
meath the brocade which was lifted
toward the front at the knee, reveal
ing the swathed lansdowne skirt
slashed at the center front-or rather
draped In such manner that the dain-
tily booted foot showed at intervals.
Patent leather boots with buttoned
tops of prune-colored cloth matched
the prune gown and hat and the only
strongly contrasting color note was in
a deep, red velvet rose at the girdle.

NO ACCOUNTING FOR MOODS
Men of Rare Attachments Able to
Work Only When the Fit Is
Upon Them.

Men of strong will, brilliant to
rare degree, who have attained every
remarkable success, often confess
that there are days, and sometimes
many of them, each month Of their
lives, when it appears that they can
accomplish nothing. That conditions,
people, and even their own powers, OPP
pose and Illustrate them at every turn.
Often these darkened days come at
times when the candidate for success
finds it necessary to face important
issues, and coming they leave him
powerless before opposing forces and
conditions, and much that might be
easily gained under normal conditions,
is lost.
Those engaged in curative pursuits
are particularly harassed in mind and
body by these moods Of failure. For
failures they are. Failure in the
sense that the mind has failed to
dispel them and go on with its
work
Two moods rule all living things;
and all things live. The Mood of Sue
cess and the Mood of Failure. And
it is within the province Of every
mind to choose which of these it shall
serve. Whether 1t will or no, it must
choose, as there are no grounds OF
arbitration. Success is success, but
mediocrity is failure of the deepest
typ.
You are vainly struggling and seek
ing afar for the best things Of Life.
Cease thy striving. Sink thyself into
the unfathomable Depths of thine own
Being Abide there in that Great Still
ness, and presently thou shalt find that
Pearl of Great Price-The Mood of
Success. And when thou shalt come
out into the noise of the world, that
Mood shall follow thee through Paths
Of Peace, festooned with the Vines
and Flowers of Divine Love. And
should thy choice lead thee into the
Wilderness, it will then precede thee,
carving upon the face of the rock Of
chaos, inches, wherein thou mayest
place thy feet and again attain the
heights Of thy Goodly Heritage
Large, in the Nautilus.
