was yearning to tell the message
which, he was sure, he had been
called upon to deliver to an errfng
world. From the first his language
was beautiful, his enunciation prac.
tically perfect, and his voice possess
ing a carrying power which made il
possible for everybody in a spacious
auditorium to hear every word.
Charley ascends to the pulpit and
kneels in prayer, then arises and
opens the Bible. He first reads a
passage, interpolated with brief ex
plantations. Closing the book he
quotes from memory other passages
bearing on the theme under discus
sion. Following these preliminaries
he launches into his sermon. 1t is
not the "sing-song" style of delivery
which might be expected from a
child; it is not "stock" sermon, read
without expression, but a strong,
earnest appeal to non-Christians to
live better lives. 1t is real sermon,
much of it extemporaneous, but force
full in the extreme.
"a little child shall lead them, u
Suffer little children to come unto
Me, and forbid them not, for such is
the kingdom of Heaven" These are
his fathers's explanation of his boys
power.
After the sermon proper is over the
young preacher descends to the altar
rail and begs his hearers to ''get right
with Cod" And these appeals are
rarely in vain. Sinners are touched.
They go forward and shake the boys
hand, and he kneels with them as they
pray for Gods mercy upon them.
When he is not preaching he visits
prisons, hospitals and other institu-
tions and makes personal appeals for
convicts. He was in Atlanta recently,
and since then has been preching in
some of the small towns throughout
North Georgia and East Tennessee.
Only Free-WiII Offerings
His father was asked what pecun-
larry arrangements were made for the
boy. He answered: Nothing but
free-will offerings"
Last winter the boy was in south
ern Florida, where there were many
northern and eastern millionaires,
winter colonists." He had been
there but a short time when he con-
ceived the idea of daily devotional
exercises before the days pleasures
and recreations began. He started
with a small meeting attended by a
few of the lesser lights" Word soon
went out of the boys unusual attain
ments, and out of curiosity several
more joined the service. These told
others, and it was but short tim2
before many men who couldn't count
their money were listening to the
boys enunciation of the Gospel.
The time came for the child to take
his departure. In the meantime
several of the big moneyed men had
become interested in him and his
work and offered to advance a large
sum to have his parents take him to
New York and Chicago. They ap-
pealed first to the boy himself and
then to his father. Father and son
conferred. They decided against the
proposition. The father said that the
boy preferred to go through the small
cities and make his life labor OF
love for the poor.

PAPER MONEY THE POOR MANS
MONEY

J We reprint from Scribner's Maya
zine General Villas method of making
money. 1t was at a time when he
+! huahua, Mexico.
We hope that political economists
will pardon us for saying 1t, but &C
icording to our primitive and common
sense way of thinking, the Mexican
general has them skinned block on
money making.
/ What did General Villa do? Why,
as soon as he found that the people
of the province of Chihuahua had no
money and because of its scarcity
were on the verge of starvation, he
simply put his printing presses to
work and began making money as
rapidly as possible. He put his name
across it and guaranteed its payment.
He issued a proclamation command
ing that it be received at its full cash
value Simple enough, wasn't 1t?
Well, it was good enough, too, for
flush times Immediately followed and
people in the province of Chihuahua
quit starving.
i What did Villas name across the
money so issued signify? 1t signifed
that his name stood for the govern
ment-that the government was back
of the money he thus put into c1rcu-
lation
Paper money is the only money
that should be recognized as money OF
civilization-Villai is pat ON the money
question.-Ocala Banner.
| Bro. Harris is right. Paper money
is the poor mans money, because II
cannot be cornered by the money
sharks and held at a premium, as is
done with gold. This is owing to the
fact that the paper upon which it is
printed is of practically no intrinsic
value, and there is always plenty OF 1t
obtainable On the other hand, gold
being a comparatively scarce COM
modify, can he boarded up and cor
nered by the money sharks, to the
extent that in times of scarcity
usurious rates are demanded for It,
AS no instance of this fluctuating and
unstable valuation on gold may be
cited the fact that with the first
rumors of international war in Europe
has come the feverish demand for an
almost unprecedented export of mill
lions of dollars in gold from this
country, and the premium ON the
yellow metal has risen many points
in consequence.
Then rarer the metal employed as
money, and the higher it's intrinsic
value, the easier it is for the money
sharks to control and corner it, and
the better they like it. Paper monetiz-
ed with the government stamp, never
fiuctuates under a stable government.
A dollar bill is always worth its face
value,-no more or no less,-while
that government lasts, and cannot be
monopolized or cornered. For this
! reason paper currency is honest mon
ey. This country would be far better
off today with more of it, and with
! elusive and treacherous gold COM
! pletely demonetized.-Este Ameri-
can Eagle.

APPEAL TO THE GOOD HEARTED

Four hundred and thirty-four child

abuesd, neglected and helpless-haye
been referred to the Children sHome
Society of Florida, Florida's greatest
of the present year. These children
have come from every nook and corn
er of Florida and have ranged in ages
from one day old to sixteen years OF
age. About two-thirds of these little
ones were girls-the others boys.
Death has been the chief destroyer
of homes, while abandonment, cruelty,
neglect, desertion, vice and crime,
have each added to the loss of par
ents, the wrecking of lives and homes.
Only twelve of the 434 are now at
the receiving home at Jacksonville
a good family home being found for
every homeless and orphan youngster
but this dozen, all of whom are
anxiously waiting for some good home
to open up to them-and some good
father and mother to love them.
Perhaps in a week two dozen more
will be added to this number, so Supt.
Marcus e. Fagg is hoping real soon
to find good homes for this little flock
as soon as possible. An average of
two children per day are received
and provided for by the home society
the year round.
The Oldest one of the present group
waiting for good homes-is Arthur
a fine lad of Is years-then there is
Omege an excellent girl of 13-Lena
a smart happy girl of IL years
Edna full orphan child of II years
Minnie a large girl of Is years
Lilly a sweet little brunette of 8
years-Clarence a three months old
baby boy-Gene and Willie, brother
and sister, 6 and years old-these
last two children hoping to find good
homes together. Mr.. Fagg will be de-
lighted to receive applications for any
of these children-all of them being
well and ready to be placed.
By persistent effort the home So
ciety has done it's great work this
year and kept out of debt-but more
funds must be secured at once if the
great work is to continue out of debt.
r. V. Covington the treasurer of the
society for ten years will be delighted
to receive donations of money-no
matter how small-at the headquart-
ers for the state at 361 st. James
Bldg, Jacksonville, Fla.
Mrs. E. L. Bass the faithful matron
of the rtceiving home located at 1914
Riverside Avenue, Jacksonville, will
be glad to welcome donations of
clothes, shoes, hats, games, toys, dolls,
fruits, staple provisions, sheets and
pillow caes, handkerchiefs. napkins.
and most anything else that children
can eat, wear or enjoy.
Visitors are welcome at the home
every afternoon from three to five
o'clock.
This great work includes all church
es and beliefs-except Mormon-and
is supported by voluntary donations
only-and covers the entire state.
The interest and help of every
citizen of our state is earnestly solic-
tied.
