MAKES STRONG ADDRESS.
KARL LEIIMANN SPOKE AT MAN.
MING, HARMONY AND SUM.
TER ON SUNDAY.
PIcascd Two Large Audiences uIcrc
Afternoon and Night-Is Very
Pleasing Speaker and Has Many
Apt illustrations for His Remarks.

Karl Lehman, the field secretary
of the Christian Endeavor Society of
the Southern States, spoke here twice
yesterday at $50 in the afternoon and
at o'clock last night. At both times
he had large audiences who were de-
lighted with him. His addresses were
direct and forceful and Mr.. Lehman
made many friends during his short
stay in the city.
Mr.. Lehman arrived here Sunday
morning and was taken from Sumter
to Manning in an automobile. At
Manning he spoke at II O'Clock to an
audience of several hundred. His
subject was: "Conservation of Our
Natural Resources" and he made a
strong plea to his audience to make
the best use of their talents. From
Manning he was taken to Harmony
church, where he spoke at 8 p. m.
His subject here was THE Three Big
Words in Christian Endeavor-Con-
servation, Enthusiasm and Service"
His address was entirely different
from that of the morning and he was
heard by large and enthusiastic aud
ience.
Mr.. Lehman came on from Har-
mony Church to Sumter, where he
made two more addresses. Both were
filled with new thoughts for Chris
tian work and old thoughts set forth
in a new light. Mr.. Lehman proved
himself charming speaker, old and
young listening with rapt attention
while he was talking. He had many
illustrations which he used in bring
ing out his points. He told of the
growth of the Christian Endeavor
work in the United States from an or
ganiZation of twelve to an organiza-
ton with four million active workers.
The keynote Of his addresses was ac-
tive service, and he aroused much
greater interest in the society than
has been shown before.
During the Cay Mr.. I.ehmann spoke
to probably fifteen hundred persons at
the four meetings and all were charm
ed with him. AT the meeting here
there were twenty-four persons from
Bishopville who came over as dele
gates from the Christian Endeavol
Society Of that place to hear Mr.. Leh.
mann speak. These were entertained
here by members of the society fol-
supper so that they could attend the
night meeting also.
A collection of SS7.6O was taken ur
at the afternoon and night meetings
for use in extending the work of the
Christian Endeavor in this State. Sew
eral hundred dollars are needed for
this purpose and the leaders here were
very much gratified at the liberal re.
sponse which was made yesterday.
AT the close of the night meeting
Mr.. Lehman held a meeting with the
committee of leaders of the Chris.
tian Endeavor Society and plans were
discussed for the future development
of the work here
Sumter will send probably ten or
twelve delegates to the State Conyen-
ton at Laurens next week.

to our family or toward God. There
are many influences operating toward
spirit OF selfishness, avarice, jeal-
ousy; while the influences for true
friendship, true love-the best qualities
Of heart and head-are from the Lord.
We noted In previous lesson how
Jonathan acted Us peacemaker between
his father and David. Todays lesson
relates another occasion when iona
than acted the part of a true friend.
Realizing that his life was In danger,
David mentioned his fears to Jona-
than. The latter was at loss to be-
lieve that his father would break his
word, yet was impressed by David's
attitude. The feast of the new moon
was at hand; and David was expected
to sit at the royal table. In harmony
with an arrangement between the two
friends, Jonathan was to find out def
nitely his fathers intentions and to
communicate them to David.
On the second day of the feast the
king asked for 1.-The son Of jesse" as
though he hated the very name David.
Jonathan replied that David had gone
to Bethlehem by his permission. APP
parently the king had been foiled in
his intention to kill David at this time,
and he vented his wrath upon his son,
whom really he greatly loved. In his
anger he threw his javelin at Jona-
than, probably not with the intention
of striking him, but merely of venting
speech In return shows that he was
thinking less Of what he himself was
risking and more respecting the injus-
tice being done his friend.
1t is a beautiful friendship which in
stress fOrgets self and thinks only Of
the friends interests AS In contrast

Ddo'd ana oono'"on' Apostle declares
that the Lord thus set an example to

down their lives for the brethren. This
is Heavenly love. Divine friendship. Of
which JOnathan's love Is sample.
ais II Not Beyond Thee"
The next morning David, having re-
turned, was to get Jonathan's judg-
ment respecting the kings sentiments.
Jonathan was to go into the field near
great rock and there to give On
agreed-upon signal, IL David should
fee. And so It was done. Jonathan
then went over to the rock, behind
which David hid. The two embraced,
after the manner Of the East. kissing
each other goodby-true lovers, with a
manly. noble love.
Here Jonathan Indicated his faith In
Gods providence respecting David, and
asked him to make covenant that
whatever should occur David would
deal graciously with Jonathan and his
family. Bible history shows us that
David never forgot the obligation
which he thus undertook TO be friend
to the family of Saul

PUBLIC OPINION
Bridgeport, Conn,
 March 25, 1915.

To the Editor of The Farmer:
 Sir: Please grant space in your col umns to call your readers attention to proposed legislation before our Gen p87L This measure contempIates es- tabIising an elaborate State Depart ment of Health, and incidentally the expenditure of much of the already burdened taxpayers money
 For instance 1t provides for a com missioner of health. at a $6,00o salary, to preside over Public Health Coun- ciI of six. to be paid $10 per day and expenses, four district sanitary super vfsors (State is divided into four dis tricts), at salaries of. .$3,5oO each. and a general counsel attorney at law, at cers are to be appointed by the com missioner. The duties of the sanitary supervisors, defined in eleven sections of the bill, and to be performed under the direction of the commissioner of health, give them entire and unre- stricted supervision of all health mat ters in their districts. It authorizes the arbitrary invasion of the home by Q supervisor, or his representative, at any time he may elect, to- investigate animation of the person of parents or children. Its scope is so broad that there would no longer be such a thing as the sanctity of the home, for if this bill becomes law nothing could be kept from the scrutiny of the sanitary su- pervfsor or his representative
 Under similar legislation health off, cials in another state have entered hundreds of homes of the better class Of residents, and among other annoy ances have demanded permission to take cultures of the occupants for ex- animation in searching for supposed diphtheria carriers. The abuses al- ready reported with respect to school inspection have been many. High school girls have been stripped for ex- ! animation by young doctors just out of medical school. and the frequent appearance in schools of intoxicated physicians have resulted in normal childrsn often reretving cards desig- mating defects, while whole rooms of pupils were frightened beyond control
 Thee1ieenses granted by this measure would result in making such abuses more possible, as well as arousing fear 1 in the public mind. With respect to fear, an article in The Medical Ad-
 vance has this to say:
 'sEdueators agree that children should be surrounded by cheerful and
 agreeable influences: that suspicion
 and fear should be kept as far as pos
 sibIe from them: confidence and trust

NORTH END FOLKS REGISTER KICK AT
 TROLLEY SERVICE
At Capitol To Favor Running of Connecticut Cars Over
 Danbury Tracks.
lspeetal to the Farmer.

Hartford, March 25-A delegation of North End residents of Bridgeport appeared before. the railroad com rnittee at Hartford in an effort to secure the passage of "a bill aiming to force traction companies whose tracks connect with those of others to run cars over the connecting lines when expediency and public comfort dictate such necessity to the public utilities commission.
 The ultimate object of the North Enders is to have the Connecticut company run their oars over the Bridgeport and Danbury line, as far as the city line It is asserted that the Connecticut company which now runs it's cars just above St. Vfncent's hospital could run to the city line with profit and give a regular sched- ule of cars that would greatly a'c- commodate the residents of that rap idly growing section.
 Among those who will appear at today's nearing are Compensation Commissioner E. T. Buckingham He will not only urge the amendment under consideration for the benefit of other cities but will show the need of such power in the hands ot the Utilities Commissioners here.
 Others who will go to Hartford in the same interests are Senator John M. OsConnelI, Nicholas Tesiny, Rev Nestor Light, A. R. Reitchell, George Feltson and City Clerk Alexander Robinson.
