COMMEND MIR. DOLE.

Editor Evening Journal;
Sir:-The writer wishes to direct
the attention of the people OF VII
mlngton, through the columns OF
your valuable and widely-read paper
to the novel and instructive manner
in which the Rev. George Henry Dole
pastor of the New Church. is conduct
ing his Sunday evening sermon-lec-
lures.
AT the close of the service. the con
gregation Is invited TO remain seated
aud to ask any questions that may
have occurred 10 them relating to the
subject of the evenings discourse, OF
any questions whatsoever appertaln-
ing TO the theme of religion in gen
eral. The answers are all nationally
drawn from the Word of God. and are
not the personal views of the pastor
on the matters. These lectures have
been in progress for a period OF six
or eight weeks, and during the whole
of them there has not been question
asked By a member Of the congre-
cation that has not been satisfactor-
torily and nationally answered and
from the Word Of God.
In these days. when men are in pos
session OF knowledge even as are the
angels of heaven, there is no need OF
their remaining In darkness as re-
CARDS anything relating to their spir-
itual nature.
The subject for the coming sun
day evening. January l1th, is "rhs
Six Days OF Creation and cordial
invitation is extended to the people OF
Wilmington to attend this lecture
and 10 ask. at the close of the ser
'vlce. any questions whatever, relating
Ito the theme. or. as stated above, to
Hreligion in general. Read the first
lchapter Of Genesis. and come prepar-
\ ed TO ask Rev. Dole a question thai
cannot be answered logically and
nationally.
This question-asking feature is
surely a broad-minded policy, and is
one that would result In great benefit
10 the people we're it adopted by all
the churches.
The Rev. Dole is undoubtedly do
ing good work Help him In this
work by being present next Sunday
evening with your questions.
Very truly yours,
HERBERT DURAND.

 And they did as he bid. carrying an their belongings. including many tusks of ivory. For months they wandered. suffering untold hardships and priva- dous, for much of the way was through dense jungle and across mighty mountains, but finally they came to this spot and although they sent parties farther on to search for an even better location, none has ever been found"
 And the raiders have never found you herey" asked Tarzan.
 About a year ago a small party of Arabs and Manyuema stumbled upon us, but we drove them of, killing many. For days we followed them, stalking them for the wild beasts they are, picking them off one by one until but a handful remained, but these es- capped us."
 As BusuH talked he fingered a heavy gold armlet that encircled the glossy hide Of his left arm TaTzan's eyes had been upon the ornament, but his thoughts were elsewhere. Presently be recalled the question he had tried to ask when he first came to the tribe the question he could not at that time make them understand For weeks he had forgotten SO trivial thing as gold for he had been for Che time truly primeval mSn, with no thought beyond today. But of a sudden the sight of gold awakened the sleeping civilization that was in him. and with it came the lust for wealth. That lesson Tarzan had learned well in his brief eXperi. ! ence of the ways of civilized man. He knew that gold meant power and pleasure. He pointed to the bauble. "From whence came the yellow met al, Busuli," be asked.
 The black pointed toward the south east.
 "A moons march away maybe more" he replied.
 Have you been thereT asked Tar gan.
 "No, but some of our people were there years ago, when my father was yet a young man. One of the parties | that searched farther for a location fol the tribe when first they settled here came upon a stmnge people who wore many ornaments of yellow metal

CHAPTER XVII
From Ape to savaas.

lNilf fNFN AA eAae aHf
 IF T was during this dance that the
 ape-mau first noticed that some
 of the men and many of the wO-
 men wore ornaments of gold, principally anlIets and armlets Of great weight. apparently beaten out of the solid metal When be expressed a wish to examine one of these the own CT removed 1t from her person and in- sisted through the medium of signs that Tarzan accept it as gift A close scrutiny of the bauble convinced the ape-man that the article was of virgin gold, and be was surprised for it was the first time that be had ever seen golden ornaments among the say ages of Africa. other than the trihing baubles those near the coast had pur chased or stolen from Europeans. He tried to ask them from whence the metal came, but be could not make them understand
 Declining the savages' offer of a hut Tarzan slept that night, as usual, in a treetop. The following day be accom- panied a party of warriors to the near by plains on a great hunt, and so dex- terous did they find this white man with their own crude weapons that another bond of respect and admira- ton was thereby wrought
 For weeks Tarzan lived with his savage friends, hunting buffalo, ante dope and zebra for meat and elephant for ivory. Quickly be learned their simple speech, their savage customs and the ethics of their wild, primitive tribal life. He found that they were not cannibals-that they looked with loathing and contempt upon men who ate men
 Busuli, the warrior whom he had stalked to the village told him many of the tribal legends-how many years before bis people had come many long marches from the north, how once they had been a great and powerful tribe and how the slave raiders had wrought such havoc among them with their death dealing guns that they had been reduced to a mere remnant of their former numbers and power.
 "They hunted us down as one hunts a fierce beast" said Busuil There was no mercy in them. When it was not slaves they sought 1t was ivory, but usually it was both. Our men were killed and our women driven away like sheep. We fought against them for many years, but our arrows and spears could not prevail against tbe sticks which spit Are and lead and death to many times the distance that OUT mightiest warrior could place on arrow. At last when my father was a young man. the Arabs came again, but our warriors saw them from a long ! way on, and Chowambi, who was chiei then, told his people to gather up thell
