THURSDAY.

Mr. Charles E. Luton, bass, has a
pleasing and resourceful voice that has
won him high praise in the east. The
Chicago Music News referring to his
recent appearance as solist with the
Chicago Choral Society, said that his
singing was ''ir such an authoritative
style that only words of praise are due
him for his Efforts The New York
Musical Courier, referring to his ap-
pearance in The Messiah" said: Mr..
Luton sang the aria The People That
Walked in Darkness in a very effective
manner, giving the difficult aria a
beautiful reading. Mr. Luton is a
thorough master Of his rich baritone
voice.

used in the big rifles are the most
destructive instruments of their size
known to modern warfare.
With the timing apparatus with
which they are equipped they can be
thrown over hill onto a target just
as accurately as If the object was in
plain view. Generally, in actual service,
a battery of this type is concealed and
the indirect mode of firing used.
The shells cost about 50 each. When
they explode a space sixty feet in di-
ameter is swept clear by the little steel
bullets in the casing.
Nothing will discourage hostile ma
ton quicker than having a few thou
sand dollars worth of it's army wiped
out by a shrapnel shell costing a little
less than 50. especially # the battery
from which it came is concealed on the
opposite side of a hill and cannot be
located.
The history of Battery A is interest
ing. When it was first organized it
was known as Battery B. an organi-
zation formed during the Civil war.
At the battle of the Blue Battery B,
stood the brunt of the Confederate at
tack. For a number of years 1t bore
the name of Battery B and at that
time only two guns were used. Later

consolidated and given the name Of
Battery A.
Prior to 1901 the old type guns, now
on the state house grounds, were used.
Since the Civil war the organization
has never engaged in active service.
However, it has been used numerous
times since as an "extinguisher" for
internal troubles.

The home of the battery is a three

lament. deuteronomy Ga. 81 How
wonderfully comprehensive the state
ment! Who today, centuries afterward,
could more completely epltomize the
great truth Of this text? Heavenly
Wisdom Is manifested both In its first
statement and In our Lords reference
to 1t. He added nothing because moth
ing could be added.
In times gone by, we were told that
the Almighty God OF the Universe had
a great hell Of torture prepared from
before mans creation. in which He
purposed that the great majority Of hu.
manity should be eternally tormented.
But that was In the creeds. The Bible
stands out distinctly separate from all
human creeds and superstitions, and
tells us that God IS Love, that He is
the Father Of Light and Mercy, from
whom cemeth every good and perfect
gift.-James LII.
The Second Commandment.
Proceeding beyond the question. Je-
sus declared that the second command
ment stands related to the first; name
ly. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as
myself" Again we stand astonished.
No other religion than that of the b.
BILE reveals such a God Of mercy and
compassion, as manifested by His low
ing provision for the welfare of His
creatures. No other religion suggests
so high standard Of dealing with our
fellow men.
This Law Of God. now nearly four
thousand years old, was probably made
more or less known through the Jews
to other nations and peoples Deu-
teropomy 1868, but none Of them
grasped its true import. The closest
approach to this sentiment Is probably
found In the writings Of Confucius. to
the effect that one should not do to
others what he would not have others
do to him. But oh. what contrast!
One is merely negative statement;
the other is positive-"Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as myself"
The Scribe was impressed, and con-
ceded the truth Of Jesus reply. The
Master said to him. Thou art not far
from the Kingdom Of Cod" BY this
Jesus meant that the Scribe was very
near to the point where he might be-
come a discipie-one Of those waiting
for the Kingdom. 1t was such Israel
ties indeed" In whom was no guile,
that Jesus especially sought to gather
from amongst the Jewish people. pre-
paratory to throwing open to the Gen
tiles the door Of Kingdom privileges.
The Jews understood that at Mes
siah's coming He would select a King
dom class. to which would be granted
Divine power. This was just what
Jesus was doing His words, His
teachings, were drawing some and re-
polling others.

The interest in the club and de-

bers and several guests to the ap-
pointed place of meeting and prof
liable session was the result.

Miss Clara Getman accompanied a
selection on the Victrola with
whistling. Miss Getman answered
an encore with a similar selection.
Mrs. E. o. Place read a selection
entitled, "A Woman in Charge"
The paper told of Miss Katharine
B. Davis being appointed commits
sioner of correction for the city of
New York, and has charge Of the
city's penal institutions, including
the Tombs prison and BLACKWELL
Island. AS the responsible manager
of these institutions she has charge
of great many men-1,200 or so on
Blackwell's Island alone.
These institutions mad been i'll
managed and they thought to make
a change, 1t is contrary to custom to
put woman in charge of such men
for control of whom, of course, she
must use nerve. Miss Davis is high
ly competent, well-trained, expert
enced, and was very successful in
managing girls and women, in the
Bedford reformatory. Look about
the world. 1t is, not universally,
but very generally, the fate of ne'er-
do-well men to come under the do
miniOn of women.
Mrs. Getman is thoroughly inter-
ested in spraying fruit trees, and
urges all farmers to spray in the fall
for San Jose scale She brought a
a sample of fruit, piece of wood to
show what the scale was.
Mrs. Getman said there was not
much use of some spraying fruit
trees unless every one sprayed.

AS the sun was sinking low;
They walked together
In the twilight afterglow.
She waited, while CALAMITY
He lowered down the bars,
Her soft eyes bent upon him
AS radiant as the stars.
She neither smiled nor thanked him,
For indeed, she knew now how
He was just farmers lad
And she Jersey COW.
Miss Matabelle Getman told what
the Lincoln Highway is to be, not
only a good road, dustless, straight,
smooth and hard surface, but a.

stand before people as an example of
what united effort could accomplish.
