SUGGESTIONS FoR WEEK

SUGGESTIONS FOR WEEK
The suggestions of the Worlds Evan
gelical alliance for week of prayer in
1917 have already been received in this
country. They fix the dates December
81, 1916, to January 6, 1917, and point
out that the alliance has bee making
these suggestions to the Christian
world since 1916. They also point out
that there are many causes for thank
fulness as well as humiliation, one of the
former being the wide religious senti-
ment that obtains because OF the war
The alliance also thinks it sees many
signs of church unity.
The topics offered are this year prae-
ticallv the same as they have been for
25 years at least There are to be prayers
for nations and their rules. for missions
abroad and at home. and for the family
and schools. Last year. desiring topics
that were nearer the calendar date. some
bold Americans put out week Of prayer
topics on their own account. 4 result
was a slightly larger use of the week,
and of the topics offered by Americans
1t is thought to be likely that Americans
VIII again this year adopt the dates, De-
cember 81 to January 6, but viii frame
some petitions and topics Of their Own.

RATIFICATION Of
 CHURCHES WOULD
 DOUBLE STRENGTH
Warning Against Intoler- ance Sounded at Methodist
 Conference on Unity.

Chicago, Feb. Identification of churches would double their strength and in no way interfere with their work. the Rev. Thomas Nicholson of New York. saGkstary of the beard of education of the Methodist Episcopal church, said in an address today be- fore the eMthodist conference on church unity at Evanston, III. The Rev. MT. Nicholson strongly urged the uni.n of the Methodist Episcopal church and the Methodist Episcopal church, South.
 Henry N. Snyder, president of Wolf ford college, Spartansburg, ,G. G., out lined the connection of negroes with the Methodist church. # "Ths negro is not in the church tut of the church." he said. Negro membership is largely segregated According tc. the rules of the Metho- dist Episcopal church, negro, is eligible to all offices, including that of bishop. That is one thing to say and another to do, however. No negro ever has held an office in q wAite congregation"
 Warn Against Intolerance
 Representatives of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, sounded a warning against the specific prohjbi- ton aimed at dancing in the dec Urine of certain branches of the church. Prof. Fitzgerald S. Park general secretary of the Epworth league, Nashville; Bishop collins D Denny of Nashville, and. Prof. Wilbur F. Willett of Vanderbilt Universit, icined in the warning.
 The Methodist Church, South, Prof Parker pointed out, has adopted ir it's general rules new phases; elim1- hating. the specific naming of the prohibited indulgences. These named in paragraph 271 of the doc. l Urine of the Me thodist Episcopal church, are:
 Dancing, card playing, attending theatres and circuses.
 Other branches of the Methodist denomination have prohibitions ir the matter of dress, diversions, sing. iEgs, readings, self-indulgence, beard ing. borrowing without prospect ol repaying and buying without pros. pect of payment, and all things that are mot for the glory of God"
 "The question is becoming the storm center of the general confer ence to be held in May" Prof. Parker said "A Methodist Episcopal Church South, decision prohibits the teach. ing of dancing and the practice o1 promiscuous dancing. Wesley, the founder of the Methodist church, sait that he could net see theatrical performance with clear conscience but on his way home from Oxford h; stepped in London to enjoy play and enjoyed dancing with his sis. ters.
 "The life of the founder ef our church must ever be reinterpreted and reapplied to the changed condi- tions of human life and the advance ment of civilization. The hideous re. suit of systems of casuistry are g warning to the church of all ages against making a catalogue of sins and attaching scales of demeritS therto. In the old church smile was considered a vice; a laugh a crime"

FIREMAN FINED $25
 AND THEN DISMISSED
John GOOde Declares Assistant Chief Afford Tried to "ShOw Him Up"
 Before Other Bremen.

John Goode, member of the fire de- partment, was fined $25 by Police Judge J. k. stewart yesterday morn ing, after trial on charge of assault and battery. He paid the fine.
 Goode was accused of having struck Assistant Fire Chief Jesse Afford with heavy brass lantern, early Wednes- day morning, while they were return ing on the No. 2 fire wagon, from answering an alarm. A long and deep gash was cut on Affords fore head. Goode alleged Afford tried to "show him up" before other members of the fire company, during the fire. Afford alleged Goode struck him be- cause he had upbraided Goode for be- ing slow in bringing ladder, when so directed.
 It was announced by Fire Chief Briener yesterday afternoon that fol- lowing an investigation into the oc- currence by tho chief and the coun- cil's fire committee, Goode was "let out" of the fire department.

BOSS OF BREWERS GETS PUBLICITY
 FOR PINE BLUFF
President Timme of Milwau- kee Club Fills Papers with
 Nice Things About City.

Milwaukee papers have been print ing many articles complimentary to Fine Bluff, since the announcement by President A. F. Timme of that club that the players on the Brewers payroll will do their spring train ing here this season.
 Mir. Timme himself is responsible for nest of the nice things said about Pine Bluff, having apparently been greatly impressed with cond- tons here, the people, the city, the athletic field, hotsl accommodations and other advantages possessed by Fine Bluff. The Milwankee papers have quoted literally his Sayings. and the result has been that through the thickly settled sections of the North, Fine Bluff has received the most valuable sort of advertising, and a lot of it.
 Former Resident Interested
 That the papers are read, and that the nice things about Pine Bluff are also being read, is indicated in the fact that 5 veral letters have already been received here from people who subscribe to enc CT anothr of the many papers printed in Milwaukee.
 or particular interest locally is a letter to Walter N. Trulock, manager and proprietor cf the Hotel Pines and Holel Jefferson, from l. A. Cleveland, formerly employed as cock at the Jefferscn, and who now lives at Orfordville, Wis. MT. Cleveland writes:
 Am sending yAu clipping from the Milwaukee Journal, a paper that take. It made me think of my old home, and I was glad to see your name in print .once more. I don't think a little free advertising will do the Jefferson any harm. It has been v.ry cold up here. Tcday has been nice. see by the papers that the old Arkansas rises has been on the rampage again. My best regards to all old aoquaintances. My health s the best ever"
