"HE two most romantic and bril-

Flying machines may appear more ro-

but those who have seen the war at close
quarters are of the opinion that the most
astonishing and brilliant feats of arms
have been performed by motor cars.
The experience OF Nile. Helene

Armored cars have been used for the
terribly difficult work OF removing barbed

the entanglements. throws grapnel irons
over them, and then backs away TO up

work under fire that exposed men could

TWO BEAUTIFUL STATUES.

In the display window of the Muller
Thym Catholic Art and Book Store,
1882 Grand avenue, are two beautiful
and impressive life-size statues that
have attracted much favorable COM
ment and more than ordinary curios-
ity. One is a statue of st. Benedict,
the Moor, and the other a statue of St
Ifygunia. The editor was so impressed
with the beauty and singularity of
these statues of African impression
that he made inquiry of the manage
ment as to whom they were consigned
and found they were gift to st. Mon
icas Colored Roman Catholic Church
from Hon. w. T. Johnson, a brilliant
and generous white attorney of this
city, who had them imported from
Italy at a cost of $500. The Sun con
graduates st. Monica's upon having
won such a warm-hearted and earnest
friend as Mr.. Johnson and realizes
that much of the remarkable success
of this parish is due to the untiring
energy of Mrs. Jno. Lange and Mrs.
C. H. Galloway, as well as the per-
sonal popularity of Father Cyprian,
the priest in charge, whom to know is
to love.

new waiter. The old waiter was
usually spendthrift. He made money
easily, he spent it quickly. God made
man right and the money making fac
ulty is a gift from God and not from
the devil. If some men did not save
money and utilize it, the human family
would starve.
There are hosts of young men to-
day who are selfishly spending on
themselves every penny they make.
They are laying the foundation for
future poverty. Instead of being a
benefit to the community, they are
perfecting their lives to be bcrdens to
the community. Men remember that
the man who spends everything on
himself will sooner or later be spend
ing somebody else's money on himself.
There are many things which
would like to say to you men, but
time will not permit. Mans sin and
danger is self deception. Men should
know themselves and believe in them
selves more than they do. The old
hymn was right when it said, my
God permit me not to be a stranger tc
myself and Thee" The first and
greatest discovery for any man to
make is that he has a never dying
soul to save and to fit it for the skies
The modern religionist objects to the
old song of our fathers and mothers,
but l love it.
What must l do to be saved Men
you must work out your own souls
salvation with fear and with trembl-
ing. Mans most fatal neglect is Of
himself; and the man who neglects
himself disqualifies himself to serve
others.

my memory yhen every leading hotel
in this country was manned by col
ored walters. Why not now? 1t is
due possibly to two reasons, social
and economic. The ever increasing
demands made by the middle class of
white men for new jobs to meet the
bread and butter problem. AS the
masses of the white race have in
creased there must be more openings
made to supply their Increasing needs,
and hence they have taken the colored
mans place. The second and main
reason is because the colored waiter
lightly esteemed his job. He did not
say so but actions speak louder than
words. How did our men act when
they had the hotel monopoly? They
were irregular; work one day, absent
two. They were late, seldom on time.
They neglected their personal appear

in order to waste their earnings in

the crap game. They we're unsanitary

BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY.

A grand reception was given at
Pilgrim Baptist Church, GIG Charlotte
Street, the evening of March 16 in
honor of the 43rd birthday of the
pastor, the Rev. G. G. Galloway. There
is no affair of this nature that has
been given heretofore any place that
could paramount to this; the affair
within itself was a matter of speak
ing, transcendental-o above and
beyond all. Beautiful draperies
adorned the interior of the church;
stately palms rose to a certain height,
then spreading their foliage in long
projecting arms of protection they
majestically stood guard over the
feast. Carnations, meaning ardent
love and intended to express the senti-
ment of the members toward the pas
tor were the flowers used for the oc-
casion.
The table d. honneur was laid with
fine linen and costly silverware, also
beautiful cut glass and magnificent
china; the large birthday cake oc-
cupied a portion of the center of the
table, and an enormous exquisite and
beautiful fern occupied the other por-
tion; two charming mattresses served
at this table. The public table was
to be no less admired, it too was set
up to a degree that might be termed
unique; carnations and ferns were
used here also. Five accurate and
well trained walters served the occu-

Mrs. G. W. Wilkerson, chairman of

uniqueness of the affair Miss Mossie

serves favorable comment for the
quiet unassumingness with which she
executed her duty. The women who
had charge of the wraps and the wom-

and those who assisted in many other
useful ways were all very courteous
and deserve credit. Last but not
least, the membership and friends, de-
serve credit for their loyalty and en-
thusiasm in making the affair a sue

number of beautiful and valuable
presents.
