A NATIONS VOICE.

No more convincing demonstration
OF the vitality of religion in the Unit
ed States could be found than the re-
suit of the appeals of the Federal
Council of the Churches of Christ il
America for systematic and continu-
Gus giving to the war relief funds il
this country. In every community
whether a church of one of the thirty
denominations which constitute the
Federal Council exists there or not
both secular and denominational
committees for war relief are being
formed.
The effect of the Federal Coun-
ci,'s first appeal, sent out on May u
to 100000 ministers, did not stop with
them and the 17,742,5O9 communi-
cants under their charge, but seemed
automatically to create new atmos-
phere in the nation. In response to
the request of many of the represen-
tatives of the war relief organizations
which have benefited by this new
spirit of unseflfishness and self-sacri-
fee second appeal was esnt out this
month, but not to the churches al
one.
The second appeal was through the
clergy to the entire people but it also
went direct to Chambers of Commerce,
Business Mems Associations, Women's
Clubs and similar bodies, and to the
mayors of cities and governors of
states. Many public men of all poll
tical affiliations, have signiied their
approval of this movement. The ma
ton has found voice in this largest
inclusive body of its kind in the world
No new war relief fund has been
aided to the existing organizations.
The Federal Council acts only as 8
channel or clearing house, except ia
special cases. But many checks for
distribution to the various existing
funds have come to it direct. Some of
the contributions are in cash. "rI
send you herewith $1.74 for Belgium
war relief" wrote one man from Har-
lem. Ga. "You will please let me
know if this goes right so 1 can send
again. The tattered bill and battered
change which he enclosed arrived
miraculously intact. A minister ana
his wife wrote that their entire
income was $50. They sent
$40, and promised to send that amount
each month as long as it vas needed.
A Southern minister wrote that wild
wv of his congregation had offered
Ter little mite, which | have eked out
o dollar Contributions have rang
"a as high as $2,40O and come from
ocular as well as religious bodies.
"All that has been given" said DR..
'harles S. mcfarland, general sec
etary of the Federal Council, lis but
drop in the bucket compared to
he awful widespread misery in Eu-
ope and Asia. The contributions from
bis country so far have amounted to
carcely more than a dollar for each
ufferer abroad. So long as this war
asts, and for months thereafter, no
batter how much is given it will not
'e enough"

NOSES.

The nose is the most prominent hui
man feature. 1t stands boldly out
from the middle Of the face like the
prov of a battleship, and while it is
not handsome in itself, we have be-
come so acustomecd to it, that a man
without nose attracts more attention
than an actor with haircut.
The nose is used to strain dust, dirst.
cinders and microbes out of the air
before it is taken into the lungs and
also to extract the odors from said
air and submit samples of them to
the brain for inspection. Owing .
this last duty, it is more enjoyable to
have noses in some localities than It
is in others. In the orange groves Of
California, a nose is a great source of
pleasure, but on a trip through the
stock yards of Chicago it is a NUS
ance. Like the ear, the nose should
be fitted with check valves. so that N
could be thrown out of gear when noa
desirable.
Noses vary greatly in architecture.
Among the most prominent varieties
is the Roman nose, which is a sterr,
ulcompromising beak shaped like a
ships rudder. The "pug" or re-
trosse nose is also firmly fastened on
3 great many people, who would never
think of specifying it in an order. 1t
is small nose which creeps down I'M
octentatiously from the forehead, and
leaps ioyfully upward at the southern
terminus, giving the owner a pert and
sausy expression, which may not coin
eide with his disposition worth cent.
The Grecian nose is noted for its
beautiful straight lines and classic
design, but it must be noted that
men with Grecian noses do not run
for office any faster than men with
nondescript wind-splitter. There are
also fat spreading noses and large,
meaty probosci. Nature is very care
less, both in designing and affixing
noses, and has managed to get about
ninety per cent of them On crooked.
Moreover, many noses have defective
fues and are badly plumbed, causing
great distress and grief to theirown-
ers.
Because the nose always proceeds
the human face into trouble, it is u.s.
ually great sufferer in combat. 1t
is very poor weapon of offense, yet
reckless owners are continually try
Ing to knock opponents down, by hit
ting them on the fists with their noses
Noses usually come in two colors
red and white; the latter are much
more highly esteemed. though mer
will often spend years of time and q
great deal of money in coloring {
nose until it CLEANS like red sigma
beacon in the darkness. 1t is general
ly conceded, however, that while or
the whole the effect produced is weirc
and picturesque it is not worth thu
trouble and expense Fitch.

And when Elisha was come into the
house, behold, the child was dead, snd
laid upon his bed.
He went in therefore, and shut the
door upon them twain, and prayed un
to the Lord.
And he went up and lay upon the
child, and put his mouth upon his
mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes
and his hands upon his hands; and he
stretched himself upon the child; and
The flesh of the child waxed warm.
Then he returned, and walked in the
house to and fro; and went up, and
stretched himself upon him; and the
child sneezed seven times. and the
child opened his eyes.
And he called Gehazi, and said Call
this Shunammile. So he called her.
And when she was come in unto him.
he said, Take up thy son.
Then she went in. and fell at his
feet, and bowed herself to the ground,
and took up her son, and went out.

Acknowledgement. We have printed
this amendment in full and anybody
who can read will not be deceived by
any such dope In language as plain
as 1t can be tho text Of the proposed
amendment shows that nobody except
the ignorant negro will be affected
by it,
The new law is simply a substitute
for the Grandfather Clause" which
was inyalidated by the supreme court,
and that is all there is to 1t. No
amount Of partisan Misrepresentation
can make an intelligent voter believe
there is anything else in it. Intelli-
gent negroes. capable of properly per-
forming their duties at the polls, will
not have their rights curtailed under
this law, but the illiterate and vicious
element who are the tools Of corrupt
politicians will be eliminated as a fac
tor in political affairs. There were
over $4,000 negro voters in the state,
according to the census Of 1910,
enough to hold the balance of power
in any reasonably close contest.
The better element of the Repnbli.
can party agrees with the Democrats
on the negro question. Only politi-
clans with partisan purposes to sub
serve are fighting the new "Grand.
father Clause" Consider the matter
carefully when you go to the polls next
Tuesday. The race question will be
settled if this amendment is adopted
and the supremacy of the best ele-
ment in the electorate of Oklahoma
will be assured.
