THE SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS
STATE CONVENTION GATHERED
IN NEWBERRY.
Welcome to Visitors and Speech of
Governor Features OF Opening SEES
siOn-PrOmincnt Sunday School
Workers Present.

Newberry, April 20.--The State
Sunday school convention met here
tonight at 8 o'clock in the Lutheran
Church of the Redeemer. The adj
dresses Of welcome were: On behalf
Of the Newberry Sunday schools, by
Thomas w. Keitt; on behalf Of the
city, Mayor z. F. Wright; on behalf Of
the churches, DR.. George B. Cromer.
The address Of the evening was by
Gov. Richard I. Manning, and it was
listened to by an audience that filled
every portion Of the church and Sun
day school room and galleries, and
numbers had to be turned away. The
subject Of his address was 1.-The Sun
day School and Good Citizenship"
There are between 200 and 800 DEL
egates present, who are being enter
tanned in the homes OF the people.
Among the distinguished Sunday
school workers to be heard during the
sessions of the convention are: Bishop
w. A. Query of Charleston, Lieut..
Gov. A. j. Bethea, DR.. Joseph A.
Broughton, president of the Georgia
Sunday School association; John D.
Cappelmann Of Charleston, DR.. Pat
terson Wardlaw of Columbia, Mrs.
Jessie Wright Of Birmingham, Ala,
and Mrs. S. N. Burts Of Spartanburg.
The convention will continue in ses-
sion through tomorrow and Thursday.
The convention was inaugurated
this afternoon in the Methodist
church Of this city. The meeting of
the executive committee was held at
4SO o'clock. Maj. T. T. Hyde Of Char
lesion, chairman Of this committee,
was hindered from attendance, and
the Rev. w. II. X. Pendleton presided
over the deliberations Of this body.
The great burden resting upon the
committee Is the loss Of the highly
esteemed general secretary, the Rev.
John c. Carman. The great respon-
sibility devolving upon them is the
finding of some one who can worthily
fill the position vacated by the death
Of Mr.. Carman.
Another problem, almost equally Sc
rious, Is the financing of the work
which is obliged to be done to make
the association effective. A debt OF
about $1,000 is a heavy handicap,
which severely binders the progress
of association work. Members of the
committee pledged $452.
Adjourning to the Hotel Savoy, the
delegates enjoyed a delightful ban
quet, from which they went to the
Lutheran church for the evening exer-
cises.
j. e. Wannamaker, vice president,
made his bow to the men, assuring
them hat they would soon hear from
him more at length.
DR.. A. w. Brown of Chicago was
introduced to give a BLAST From the
Windy City"
Eight Cent Cotton and the Sun
day School" "a the toast to which
Prof. Keitt responded. He hoped that
the recent rise in cotton would mean
a great forward movement in Sunday
school work.

TESTING MATERIALS
FOR USE OF THE CITY
Practical Services Rendered by the
Cincinnati Bureau Of City Tests.

The bureau of city tests (CincinnatD
aids the city in two ways. 1t helps the
government to purchase the best ma
terials by examining the dealers sam
pies and by making further tests from
time to time enables it to receive sup
plies of: good quality throughout the
year. Cincinnati is oneof the first
large ~citiessSto purchase coal under COM
petitive bidding in accordance with
we'll NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. All it's pur-
chases are nfadeson the British thermal
unit basis. IN submitting bids dealers
guarantee a certain number Of heat
units a poundsana certain percentage
of ash. The cost a&heat unit in the
various bids iszthen calculated and the
contracts awarded. All moisture in
excess of the amount normally pres
ent is deducted from the tonnage de-
livered. The result of this new system
has been the receiving of a good uni
form grade of coal.
The bureau tested the $50 or more
carloads of cement used during the
year for various city improvements.
In spite Of the fact that only standard
: brands which have proved dependable
are used, eleven carloads of cement Of
poor quality were rejected.
By testing fire hose the city saved
$1,000 on the contract Of 1912 and.
about the same amount on=thnt of 1914,
The bureau analyses samples without
any knowledge of the bidders prices.

SERMON OF MAMMON.
By w. S. Morgan.

When Mammon had sat upon
his throne of gold, and his diciples
were gathered about him, he
spake unto them as follows:
My Dearly Beloved: I am glad
you are here and | extend to you
a hearty greeting. I can tell by
your fat cheeks and the size of
your bodies at the belt line that
you have been thriving. l am
glad of it; | want all my worship
ers to thrive; but that is impos-
sible; the fittest will survive; the
strong will crowd out the weak,
and the devil will get the hind
most; but he IL get the foremost
first, so don't be discouraged or
sorrowful, my beloved, for you
will all get yours. It is so writ
ten. And my kingdom will live
forever. It is the kingdom OF
the kingdoms Of the world. It is
supported by emperors, kings
presidents, governors, statesmen
and potentates throughout the
earth. It is sustained by armies
battleships, policemen, detectives
thugs and thieves. It is financed
by bankers, bondholders, bunc,

was powerless to help unless he
took charge Of the great indus
tries and set the people to work.
But this would be confiscation
and unconstitutional.
And so be it, when the lamenta-
tions Of the lamentators became
SO loud that they could be heard
over in the next county, Woody
spake unto the overs Of the great
industries and beseeched them to
start up the fires and blow the
whistles.
But they would not be be-
seeched.
And when Woody saw that
their hearts were hardened, and
that they owned nearly the coun-
try, he had Congress to pass
law to take up a collection, which
they did, and said it was on ac-
count of the war in Europe.
And. the men who owned three
fourths Of the country went unto
Woody and told him that unless
he permitted them to run it the
way they wished they would not
play.
And Woody saw that it wai
so.
And he curled up on the floor.
And when they tickled his
hind foot with a straw he did
not kick.
And so Big Business helped
herself, and Woody just opens
one eye occasionally to see what
they are going to do with him
next.

and buncombe. Its right to rob
is embodied in the constitutions
which govern mankind. Its
dictums are set forth in the de-
cisions of courts and the actions
Of legislative bodies. It's hoppers
for collecting toll are ever pre-
sent and everywhere from the
penny slot machine to subsidies
Of bonds and cash for railroad
and steamship lines. The de-
calogue is despised and the golden
rule has become obsolete. The
system Of commerce is the science
Of robbry. It is taught in the
universities and sustained by the
pulpit. The glitter of gold
dazzles the eyes Of the multitudes
and deceives the "elect. - Gold,
oh, gold! It is the essence Of my
power It is the mocker Of pa
triotism, the destroyer Of man
hood, the robber Of virtue, the
desecrator Of homes and the muir
derer of childhood. The love of
it has overthrown civilization,
precipitated war among the
nations, and made a slaughter
pen Of a continent. But don't be
discouraged, my beloved, for you
are getting share of it. You
are furnishing arms, ammunition,
food and other supplies for the
contending forces. But there is
no harm in that. What if the
time for slaughter is extended
What if rivers Of blood continue
to flow? What if women and
children continue to starve
What if the reign Of hell is not
stopped? So long as you profit
by it, beloved brethren, pray on,
and prey on. "Eat, drink and
be merry today for tomorrow you
may die. You are not your
brothers keeper, but rather
his robber; for it is so, for the
law Of the survival Of the fttest
ye must observe. So, on with the
dance! Strangle Justice ano
ravish the Goddess of Liberty
Enslave with debt the generations
yet unborn. Let the rivers ru1
with Blood Fill the air with de
struction and the earth will
cries of anguish and suffering
the shrek of shells and the Yell
of demons! Put "Death on !;
white horse and hell following
after him!' It is our harvest
dearly beloved, and the stream
of gold flow into our purses
And now, my children, go ye int
all the world and may the spiri
of Greed and Graft be with yo7
always.
