supplementary list of American firms
blacklisted by the British Government
came as a surprise to officials of the
concern, which manufacturers an all
10y for tool making and tungsten
While the company's business has
grown remarkably since the European
war began it has been confined to the
domestic trade and the alleged black
list does not disturb the manufacture
ers.
George Marlowe, secretary and
treasurer of the company, in COM
menting on the action of the British
government said:
"Our company has not been manu-
featuring munitions of war Our busi-
ness is all with companies with which
we have dealt for the last IL years.
We furnish material for tool steel to
the Bethlehem, Crucible, Colonial and
some other big manufacturers. Maybe
some of our product eventually finds
it's way into munitions manufacture,
but If it does we do not know of It,
and our connection with such manu-
facture is very indirect" Mr.. Mar

ton, are natives of England.

ing to scientific methods there is still a
heavy annual loss. The rust seems to
be worse in Washington and western
counties and the Hessian fly has been
spotted in Berks and York. On the

ELOQUENT SERMON BY
EVANGELIST FAULC0NER.
PRAYER and Providence Set Forth in
Impressive Manner.

In the serman last evening Evange-
list Faulconer rose TO heights Of elo-
auepce such as are characteristic OF
speakers from the Southland. There
were pleasant~ies in that fascinating
Kentucky drawl into which Mr. Faul-
coner sometimes falls, and there were
incisive thrusts into the conscience
of the hearers.
The night was very unfavorable and
the attendance was correspondingly
below that of the previous evenings,
but the sermon was none the less for
chile and helpful. MI Faulconer chose
as his text the words from John. I:
46 Never man spake like this man.
Jesus spoke many things as no other
ever spoke OF them. The preacher
dwelt upon two of these subjects. The
FIRST was prayer Never man spake OF
prayer as this man. Whatsoever We
shall desire" said Jesus. Prevailing
prayer must be direct. We scatter too
much in our praying. Satan is we'll
pleased if only he can get people to
be indefinite IN prayer He deceives
men by getting them TO ask for great
many things
People wonder that their prayers are
not answered. The reason is that they
ask amiss Something is wrong; the
asking is not direct We must ask for
that which we desire, and we must
truly desire it, If it is the salvation Of
souls. we must pray for it directly
There are many people who ask God
for everything but the chief thing.
They never pray for holiness of life.
God wants TO make His people holy
above all else that He can do for them.
The other theme of Christ's words of
which Mr.. Faulconer spoke, was prov
idence. Never man spake of provi-
dence as this man. Half the hard times
of which we complain in our homes
are the result of our prayerlessness.
There is a lack of the childish faith OF
which Jesus spoke.
Every word that our Lord uttered
about the great care of God is true
He said that God sees the fall of the
! sparrow. and that He will much more
| concern Himself about us who are
| His children What has Jesus to say
! to us? What to those who are in
| trouble What to those who are lost
Never man spake like this man. The
J church needs to pause to hear what he
! has to say We need to keep the ear Of
/ faith turueG to the Book
Mr.. Faulconer will preach again this
evening at Maryland Avenue Meth
odist Episcopal Church in the unioI
evangelistic campaign, and Mr.. Ben
nett will sing. The service will begin
at 7.30 O'Clock.

BIBLE READING
IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Who of Gods People Can Object, Says
Correspondent,
(Communicated).


Feb rs, 1916.
To the Editor Evening Capital:
AS am in favor of Bible reading
in our public schools, | would like TO
say just few words in its defense
This country of ours is made up,
the greater part, of God loving, Lib.
erty loving people, and who Of US
American citizens and residents Of
Maryland would object to the reading
of God s word in our public schools
surely not (tnose VINO have the inter
ests of Christ at hearty.
If the Bible was read ofteuer in
the homes and in the public schools
(not being kept for an ornamentl there
would be less trouble for parents and
teachers on account of unruly children,
but If a few minutes; say 5 minutes
each morning were given to the read
ing of the Scripture more good would
be accomplished, than it would harm,
by lessening the study Of some other
book, so let US put away al narrow
mindedness. sefishness aud whatever
else that interferes with the coming
of Gods kingdom, and cite the pas
sage where Jesus says: Suffer the
little children to come unto me, and
forbid them not, for of such is the
kingdom of heaven. Math. 19-l4v.
The Bible does not interfere with
any of the different sects or denomins-
tions, but instead, is intended for all,
and in reading the Holy Word in cur
schools to an aglomeration of sects
there will be "some seed falling by
the way side; some in stony ground
some on thorny ground, but surely por-
ton will fall on good ground; thereby
yielding fruit. Math. 10 ;l-10v.

F theirs business. and let US who love
God and his teachings, encourage The

WANTS u. S. TO OWN
MOUNT VERNON ESTATE
representative Casey Thinks it Should
be Free to Visitors of All Nations

Declaring that the United States has
public parks all over the country and
that he knows of no better way to
demonstrate our love and respect for
George Washington than by acquiring
his home and tomb on the banks of
the Potomac river and opening wide
its gates for free entry for the visitors
from all nations, Representative John
j. Casey OF Pennsylvania has intro
duced in the House a resolution pro-
viding for a commission to determine
the value of the property, with view
TO its purchase by the Federal Gov
eminent.
Representative Casey's resolution
provides for the appointment of two
members of the Senate and three mem
bers of the House, who shall officiate
as commission to determine the
value of the estate of Mount Vernon,
the home and tomb of General Wash
ington, with a view to perpetuating
this national heritage and allow the
people admission free of charge.
In statement relative 10 this reso-
luton, Representative Casey said that
estate is owned and operated by GER
tain corporation and that a charge is
made upon those who wish to visit
the grounds He believes the estate
should be a public park and monu-
ment. and gives il as his opinion that
it is not to the credit of the govern
ment of the United States to be con
stantly placing before the youth of the
land the life and character of the "Fa-
Their of Our Country and then when
they are taken there 10 be obliged to
paw 25 cents admission. thus placing
it in the category of mercenary at
fractions.
Representative Casey called atten-
ton to the numerous parks and mon
uments scattered throughout the coun-
try owned and maintained by the Fed
eral Government,whe people are free
to enter without charge and character
lied the conditions under which Mount
Vernon is operated as q disgrace 70 the
American people and that it was high
time Congress took some action in the
matter
He says he is going 70 press for ac-
ton upon this resolution at the earl
lest possible moment. and hopes that.
before the present Congress aCtiourns
that preparations will at least be I'M
der way for Its requirement by the
government, and that patriotic Amer
leans desiring to visit the historic and
hallowed ground may do so free Of any
charge whatever.
