ABYSSINIAN PRIEST HERE

There has been in the city for the
last few days a black Jew or Cushite,
of Abyssinia, a Coptic priest c. F.
CheclZZli. He is on a second world S
| tour to get the colored people
banded together for the possession
of Africa. Some years ago in his
former visit to Lakeland he predict
ed the present worlds war and the
Montgomery Journal commenting on
the same prediction, maintains that
he now predicts that this prelude
war shall be arrested in the fall of
1917 and shall lead into a more gil
gantic struggle between the Asiatics
and the Europeans. He is regarded
by the northern and southern press
to be probably the greatest lin
guistic and profound scholar of the
race of color" He believes that Ger
many will triumph, which triumph
will aid the Africans to throw off the
letters of the European allies and
form an independent empire Of their
own. God is upholding this war
and it its close the physical wrecks
and economic failures shall dissolve
the brutal oppression of the poor and
establish the economic foundation of

said. Yesterday morning he preached
at the Second Baptist, colored. In
the afternoon he preached at the
First Baptist church to a good crowd
Of whites, and at night he preached
again at the Second Baptist church
to an overwhelming crowd of both
races. He delivers his farewell
address tonight at o'clock at the
Second Baptist church on Florida
avenue On the theme "Shall This
Worlds War Be Blessing and Shall
the Blacks Return to Africa?" A
general invitation is given to the
whites.

CHANCE TO BECOME
A MILLIONAIRE

1t is very simple to become a mil
lionaire. There are twelve good ways
waiting for VOC and they are not
secret. w. r. Hotchkiss, a director
of the Cheltenham Advertising
Agency, gave them out in recent
New York address. Here they are:
l. Invent a new automobile fuel
cheaper than gasoline and as good,
or carburetor that will convert ker-
osene or some other inexpensive fuel
into thoroughly efficient power.
2. Invent tire that is absolutely
puncture proof and as anti-skid as a
chair.
3. non--leakable fountain pen.
easily fillable, with an ink well that
cannot upset, and that works auto
matically for filling the pen.
a. A shoe that fastens with a cou-
pie of snaps instead of laces or but
tons.
.. A quick fitting corset that
clings tight to the figure without
lacing.
6. A moth-proof wardrobe for sum-
mer homes, with an attachment to
remove the smell of camphor or tar
from the clothing.
z An automatic rug beaten that
can be set up in the yard, and that
will vibrate by electricity and ham
mer out the dust.
8. A window screen that rolls up
like a window shade, easily detach-
able.
3. A secure, easy to remove win
dow shade bracket that will not
damage the window casing.
10. A mans collar that won't
choke him while being worn, that
can be attached without buttons
that rub the neck and have an af-
finity for the dark spot under the

chiffonier
II. Twin bottle containing iodine,
the best antiseptic known, with
means to apply it neatly, and quick
remover of stains.
~. A method of supplying the
market with a means of using carrot
flakes, the beauty of nature-better
even than wheat or corn-and as yet
undeveloped.,
Mr.. Hotchkiss, not satisfied with
giving out a round dozen of sugges-
tions, threw in two more for good
measured engineers, an elevator
for department stores, not as slow
and tedious as those in use today /;
and for chemists, way to eliminate
mosquitoes and to relieve the tor
ment of their stings.

FLOOD JACKSONVILLE WITH

Psalm 116:12: What shall I render
unto the Lord for all His benefits to
me-" David's recognition of God in
his life and his great obligation to
God-the life that has God in it
enshrined in the chief place-means
fruitful life-a life full of service.
Our failure in life often comes by
neglecting to give God first place,
and not recognizing the obligation
we give to God. The benefits we en-

ance from the bondage of sin and
from eternal death. the joys of eter-
nifty spent with God-for these gifts
We should be thankful. Salvation as
gift brings responsibility No man
ever stumbled into hell over the sin
ner, but stumbles over the unfaith-
full christian. The contributions we
bring to God and their rewards
as Moses and Aaron brought their
rods, David his sling, Mary her ala
bastor box, Dorcas her garments, the
widow her mite-these to be blessed
of the Lord in service; SO we can
bring our talents and our lives and
consecrate them to service. Christ
gave up his heavenly home and con-
tributed to the worlds redemption;
His compensation in the love and
loyalty of saved and redeemed souls.
Closing with special plea to the
young people to render their lives to
God in the spring time of life and
give the fresh and fragrant flowers
of service to their Lord.
