TIPS FOR WATERS ART,
DECLARED A NECESSITY

Chicago, Jan. 17.-Tips for walters
are a necessity, according to a decis-
ion reached last night by the board of
governors of the Illinois Athletic
club.
For some time the club has had 9
strict rule that when a member was
detecting tipping waiter the former
should be reprimanded and the latter
discharged. On third offense a mem
Der was suspended.
In the future 5 cents will be added
to all food checks at the club OF this
sum three cents will go to the waiter
and the remaining two cents will go to
a general fund, the ultimate disposal OF
which has not been settled.
Belief that better service can be OBJ
tanned by tipping the walters and in
formation that many tips were being
given secretly, resulted in the new
rule.

Today is the holy Sabbath and many
good minister will preach from the
much-used text, Remember the Sab
bath Day to keep it holy"
Some of these good ministers will
probably cite the Sunday paper as an
ILLUSTRATION of the Dissertation Of the
Sabbath If so, this is because they
are not aware that practically all the
work, editorial, reportorial, and me-
chanical, on a Sunday paper, is fin
ished long before the dawning of thu
Sabbath Day. 1t is the Monday paper
that requires Sunday work.
The Sabbath Day-a day of rest and
meditation, family association and
worship-is enc of Heavens greatest
blessings to humanity. 1t is right that
the day be regarded as sacred and that
holy pastors admonish their focks to
refrain from all labor except works
of necessity and charity.
There is another text-part of the
same commandment on which prob
ably the Oldest inhabitant" does not
remember to have heard a sermon
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1914-01-18
WORSHIP AND WORK

, preached. That text is six days
shalt thou labor and do all thy work .
While the Times-Recorder may be
shy on homiletics and exegesis, il
knows how to say, Firstly; secondly;
and SO on.
Firstly, then, the commandment to
work six days is just as imperative as
the command to rest the seventh. The
man who hasn't worked doesn't appre-
ciGte the rest.
Secondly,-Just as the admonitiop
to keep the day holy applies to all
men, rich and poor, so does the com
mand to work six days apply to all
men-rich and poor
Thirdly.-"And do all thy work" A
man is to attend to his own business
and let other peoples business alone.
Fourthly.-"And do all thy work ="
This means all that a man can do ami
should be carelessly or needlessly let
over to interfere with the business of
the next week.
Fifthly-Will some one kindly wake
up that brother snoozing over there in
the Amen Corner"

Figure in Politics,

However, he has always figured
largely in his states politics. both in
regard to the state itself at home and
its part in the national movements.
