RIGHT TYPE OF AG1TATOR.
Preacher Says Something More I.
Needed Than Mere Protest.

Rev. James Shera Montgomery, pas
tor of Metropolitan M. e. Church, de-
livered sermon entitled THE Agita
tor" last night, in which he said that
something more is needed among the
leaders of the country than mere pro-
test
Those who are directing the ship of
our country" Mr.. Montgomery said, "a
few years ago were the butt of ridicule
among the old and young of this land.
Like Elijah. they stirred political CT
der, waking the dead.
"Agitators Of the right kind ought to
be appreciated. They who seek to
build men into our country instead of
building our country into men are in
deed prophets of progress. They stand
against the tides of evil instead of
drifting with them. Anybody can be a
nobody, but it takes a somebody to go
against the current. There is not one
single reform on the dial of progress
but that has been put there through
the services of the agitator. Though
buffeted, ridiculed and branded almost
a criminal and mischief maker in state
and in society, yet great in motive,
lofty in ideals, splendid in aim. con-
slant in work, and choosing what he
believes to be right, with invincible
resolution he marks time for God and
man. and brings heaven Il little nearer
the earth, and lifts the earth little
nearer heaven.

Base Ball as Example.
Mr.. Marshall, for the benefit of the chill

game of base ball and playing the game

THE game of base ball is played &C
cording to rules. No boy is so mean as
the one who will not play the game on
the square-the boy who lies about 1t
and says he does not know the rules. The
heart and mind of every boy and girl.
Possibly there are few exceptions here

had lost the sense of justice.

promptly divides. He does not do it
through desire to becnaritable, or to
give to the other boy merely for the sake

that it is not fair for him to have SO
much and his little friend nothing 1t is
only when we grow up that we become
hard-hearted and unjust in our relations

Many Disfgured by Tide Drifts and
Some Broken OFF.

Though the past winter was mild

1t is stated that the lighthouse serv-
ice steamer Maple is now employed on
buoy inspection work in the Potomac

attention they need. While the un-

Reason for Empty Pews.

The empty pews in churches all over
the country today are caused by this same
injustice of man to man. If that element
could be eliminated, the pews would fill

Before we can perform any physical
act we are told that it is necessary for
the muscles to be cO-Ordinated. Unless
the muscles are co-ordinated In some Won
derful way we cannot speak, we cannot
move a hand or a foot. What we need
for the battle of life today is co-ordina-

have the faith and simplicity of chill

gether in unison the world will get the
