THE COMING CONVENTION.

For twenty five years the Ar
kansas Sunday-School Associa-
tion has been the only interde-
nominational State wide agency
among the churches keeping a
corps of workers in the field an d
holding more than 200 inspira-
tional gatherings every year.
The State Convention April
18th to 10th at Warren is the
climax of the years work and is
designed to bring together a
large number of the active work
ers for counsel and encourage
ment.
The speakers in this meeting
are recognized specialists in
their particular work and will be
heard both in address and con-
ference each day. Three stimuli
taneous conferences will be held
every afternoon for the workers
in the children's department.,
the teen age, and the Organized
Glass Section.
Mrs. w. B. Ferguson and Mrs.
B. w. Torreyson will be the
specialists in the children S
work. They are both engaged
every day in the Sunday School
work, and will be able to bring
the very best and latest methods
to the teachers of this grade.
Rev. w A. Brown of Chicago
will be heard on the teen age
work, and also Adult. Teachers
of boys and girls will miss a rare
treat if they fail to hear Rev.
Brown. Every organized mems
class should send a delegate to
this conference, who will come
in touch with the best workers
of the state and the specialists
who are making the thing move.
See that your School sends a
delegate to this convention.

Yesterday was Saint Patrick 5
Day. st. Patrick is given the
credit of Kidding the Emerald
Isle of snakes and other pests.
His remains were supposed to
be buried in the Cathedral of
Dun-P Patrick, Ireland. st. Pat
rick's Day is a great one with
the Irish people, both at home
and abroad. Even in this coun-
try they wear a bit of green in
his honor.

GET In THE OTHER FELLOWS
SHOES.

1t is hard work for Billy Sun
day to preach a sermon without
abusing people. That ISM right.
In his recent Washington SER
vice he attacked the Christian
Science faith, and spoke disre-
spectfully of those who embrace
the doctrine of divine healing.
In olden times the leper was
cleansed, the lame man threw a.
way his crutches, and the tenn
perature of the fellow sick of
fever at once became normal.
Christian Science tell us that
this potential element of physi-
cal healing and inward grace is
IN the world today as full and
free as it ever was. Is there any
reason why it shouldn't be. If
Mr.. Sunday is observing he will
have to admit that Christian
scientists are peaceful, law
abiding citizens. They mind
their own business. They do not
quarrel with other religions.
They are more faithful in church
attendance than the members of
most of the orthodox churches.
When reviled and prosecuted
they revile not again, and when
swatted on one cheek they turn
the other without batting an
eye. If Billy Sunday honestly
believes that the sick and sore of
Palestine, nigh two Thousand
years ago, touched the hem of
the garment of Jesus of Ma
zareth and were made whole,
he should not too fercely deny
the claims of those who believe
the promise, "Lo, | am with you
always, is demonstrably true.
Although we Christians are un-
able to agree in all matters of
belief, we should at least en-
deavor to be kind and courteous
to one another else we are not
stians.-Nebraska State
Journal.

In a lengthy and most sensible
editorial in a recent issue of the
Atkins Chronicle, one of our best
and most highly appreciated ex-
changes, the subject of who is
the Producer?' is discussed. The
Chronicle takes the position
that every calling and avoca-
ton of useful employment con-
tributes, in part, to production,
and then concludes its article as
follows:
who are the producers? They
are those who are rendering
some helpful service to their fell
low creatures. We want to be
counted in that class. Those
who are not among that num-
Der are parasites on the social
body, and are not worthy Of
their place in the world. Then
be a producer :"

Under Bill recently passed
by tho Legislature and approx

consolidated, and the next Gen

held in November instead OF
September. This may prove to
be a good thing for the country
or it may not. Time, alone, can

''Our Governor" sure has got
himself in bad with the people,
generally, in his management of
the Pari Mutuel Racing Bill. All
sides condemn him. The race
advocates are furious, and the
other fellows have few words of
praise far him. The people are
very exacting, as the Governor
has now, doubtless, found out.
If he had the thing to do over
again he would either veto or
approve the Bill, at first sight.

The special Bill legislation has
grown up to be an intolerable
nuisance, and is constantly de-
rided and condemned, but still it
goes bravelv on in every Legis,
lature. and instead of getting
better, gets worse. Now, some
people are talking of Const itu-
tional Amendment to remedy
the evil; but just how, we are at
loss to know. Our Constitu.
ton already provides that no 10.
cal or special Bill shall be passed
where a general law can be made
applicable; and, further, that no
local or special Bill shall be in
PRODUCED into the Legislature
until after 80 days notice has
been given by publication in
the community effected. These
provisions of the Constitution
have been uniformly ignored by
both the Legislature and the
Courts; and, hence, our dilema.
We think that our constitutions
al provisions are about as clear
and succinct as they can be
made, and it they are unnoticed,
an Amendment would fare no
better.

GERMANY FORCED
TO ESTABLISH
WAR ZONE
Note is Friendly But Maintains
Original Position

Garry No War Supplies Through

Berlin, Feb 19-The reply of Ger
many to the protest of the United
States against an establishment Of /
war zone in British waters is couchet
in the most friendly terms, but firmly
maintains the position of Germany as
already announced. The answer was
converted into code at the United

ambassador Gerard and has been
transmitted in full to Washington.
The note explains that Germany 5

right to attack English shipping Ger

that right under the stress which Eng

law and restore the freedom of the

has taken is necessary.

ity against attack with the understand
ing that vessels thus guarded shall
carry no war supplies. Hope is ex-
pressed that the American govern

which Germany has been placed and
appreciate the reasons Of her course.
The reply closes with an expression
of the hope that the United States
may prevail upon Great Britain ito

obtain the observance of the London
declaration by belligerents opposed to
Germany. If this were done, the note
