TRINIDAD NOTES.

The Thanksgiving service held at
ST. Pauls Baptist Church on last
Thursday. Nov. 29th, was truly un-
ion service Of the two churches. The
Grace A. M. E.. people were out in
large numbers, and the program was
evidently one of credit to the COM
munity and the occasion:
Thanksgiving, by the Pastor, Rev. L.
Harrison Wallace. The Governors s
Address, by Mrs. Rev. S. R. Maguneiz.
The Presidents Proclamation, by Mrs
Carrie Seymour The Song Service,
by the Union forces of both churches.
The mastery Thanksgiving Sermon,
delivered by the Rev. DIR. s. R. Ma
guneiz, pastor of Grace A. M E.
Church, and an offering of $500 taken
for the needy poor of our town, made
everyone feel that there was much to
be thankful for. The afternoon was
given to appeasing some sharp appe
tftes, and the National bird came in
for his usual amount of suffering, re-
gardless of the worlds war, or the
high cost of living. At $3.50 p. m.
the community was treated to a rare
and handsome Thanksgiving exercise
at Grace A. M. E. Church, where din
ner was served, songs, recitations, di-
alogues, monOlogues, addresses and
re-addresses. and many other good
things, INDUCED in by crowd which
| packed the little church almost to
| suffocation. Trinidad and this COM
munity can well afford to congratulate
itself for the coming of the new pas
tor. Rev. s. R. Maguneiz, and his very
amiable wife and helpmeet With such
team mates as the Revs Wallace and
| oh
many good things in the future Sun.
day, Dec. End, found the Rev. I. Harri-
son Wallace on an early Santa Fe
train for Ration, N. M, where he was
to join with the Mt. Pilgrim Baptist
Church in an anniversary service in
honor of their beloved and estimable
Pastor, Rev. P. P. Mellon, Ph.D., who
did such noble work in Transforming
lives, conducts and habits of his
church and people. Rev. Wallace
preached at the II o'clock hour to q
splendid audience, that listened witt
rapt attention to his discourse from
lisa. 55:11-2. Subject, Gods Unfail
ing Promises" There was a generous
expression Of appreciation for the
helpful lessons taught. Rev. Wallace
conducted an afternoon song service
in which major portion were white
neople of Ration. All were immensely
pleased with the services of the day.
Sunday being the first Sunday in the
month the pastor of st. Paurs Church
beat a hasty retreat to Trinidad to
be in his own pulpit for the evening
communion service.
The pastor of Grace A. M. e. chapel
is fast getting a grip on things in his
field and preparing the way for new
church edifice in the near future. Sum
day being a banner day for him: many
good things are in store for the A.
M. r. people.
Trinidad is enioving splendid sea-
son OF good weather and nrosperity.

WAR PROFITS OF SPANIARDs
Wine Sent to Soldiers In Philippines
Didn't Need Any Water by Time
Il Reached the PrlVates.

A good story of the war in the Phil
ipplne islands occurs in Major General
Younghusbands recently published
book, "A Soldiers Memories"
Two Englishmen strolling round the
Spanish outpost line near Manila
CHANGED across a small picket, consist
ing of three men in charge of a ser
geant.
The latter Hospitality offered the
Englishmen a share of their ration OF
red wine, which they gladly accepted.
though, as 1t was very hot day, they
asked that n little water might be
added.
This, writes General YOunghusband.
was evidently considered capital
Joke, for all four burst into rOars OF
laughter.
wherefore this merrimentT' asked
the Englishmen in some bewilderment-
"Pardon us, sir" said the sergeant,
"but I will explain. That wine Is a
very good wine, and comes from Bar
celona. It starts off in large casks ad-
dressed to the adjutant general. Out
of each cask the adjutant general
makes two, and hands 1t on to our
colonel. Our colonel out Of these two
diluted casks makes three. Next the
company commander has 1t to make
his profit, and I also have to make
mine. So you see sir, there Is not
much need to add any more water. "
The Greenville journal. [volume] (Greenville, Ohio) 1850-1918, 1917-09-13
ALL WANTED FRONT SEATS
Many and Ingenious Excuses Given
by Attendants at Billy Sundays
New York Meeting.

Judging from the thousands Of ex-
cuses that were handed to me by per-
sons who wanted to get seats at the
front of the Tabernacle, Uncle Sam
will have hard time in obtaining men
and women in fit condition to do the
arduOus work connected with the
war" said q man who put in ten
strenuous weeks as an usher at the
Billy Sunday meetings at New York.
Deafness appeared to be the prin'
cipal complaint. l never thought so
many persons in this city were af-
flicted with bad hearing. Lame men
and women became so common at the
meetings that we usherS never paid
any attention to them unless 1t was
obvious that they were really the VIC
tins Of infirmities.
"Some persons physically perfect
even went so far as to be wheeled to
the Tabernacle in invalids' chairs just
to get a good place near the evangelist
And the number of persons who suf'
fered from internal disorders that
might result fatally If they got into q
jam! I'm certainly glad 1t is all over
as I was near to nervous prOstration.'
The ex-usher admitted that he was
on the point Of quitting his place many
times, but he feared to weaken and
have to stand the jeers Of his wife and
! his relatives.
The Greenville journal. [volume] (Greenville, Ohio) 1850-1918, 1917-09-13
Tommy Atkins az Linauist.

Even here his ingenuity comes to his
aid. Who but he could have translated
"Your COW has broken loose" by the
short but quite easily comprehended
phrase, Madame, lait promenade?"
Two men were billeted on farmhouse
where there was a good deal Of poul-
try. Naturally, they wanted to have
a chicken for their dinner, but their
vocabulary was limited, and the
French word for "chicken" wasn't in
it. After deep consideration one Of
them had an inspiration. Taking an
egg he said to the good woman Of the
house: "Oofs mamma" 1t was thor
oughly understood, and they dined
well. One could go on forever on this
subject, but I cannot miss this. A
soldier had successfully woOed a
French girl, and asked the chaplain to
perform the marriage ceremony.
"What's her religion" "Oh, that's all
right, sir" said the man, whose French
ran only to "Bon-jour" and "NapoO,"

pressed the siege hotly, his cannon
laundering night and day, but the
car, maneuvering with no mean skill,
crossed the Vorskla and posted his
army on the same side Of the river
with the beslegers but a little higher
up. The Vorskla falls into the
BOrysthenes fifteen leagues below
Pultowa. The Russian line stretched
from river to river. 1t was Peters
design to drive the Swedes back into
the acute angle formed by the two
rivers and there overwhelm them.
Against the MuscOvites Charles op-
posed 24O00 men, his force having
been greatly reduced by battle, sick
ness and famine. He himself had
been severely wounded in the foot dur
ing q recent sklrmish, but maintaining
that his dignity required he should be
the assailant and that he should lead
the attack In person he had himself
carried to the front In litter and wav-
ing on command and encouragement
from this couch he headed his army
out Of the trenches.
So furious was the Swedish on
Slaught that two Of the Russian re-
doubts were actually carried and the
Swedish infantry raised the cry Of
victory, yet the Russian artillerymen
stood steadily by their guns while
fresh masses Of troops were poured
into their support. Never was the an
cient Swedish valOr more glOriously
eXemplified than upon that dreadful
day, yet the Swedish line finally broke
before the Russian works, whereupOn
the cZar himself led the infantry and
cavalry outside the Notifications,
formed them steadily under fire and
advanced over the open ground. Both
sovereigns were in the thick of the
fray. They battled as medieval
knights, welding sword alongside the
cavalrymen of their bodyguards and
striving desperately to turn the day
which for more than two hours hung
in the balance.
But heavily Outnumbered the
Swedes finally fell into disorder. In
stantly the Russians launched a ter
rife charge. The Swedes were com
pletely routed, rushing down to the
junction of the rivers, where they per-
ished in the waters or surrendered to
their enemies. Only a few hundred
escaped by swimming the river, among
them Charles and Mazeppa, who made
their way into Turkish territory. Near
ly 10000 lay dead or wounded on the
bloody field.
The peace of Nystadt transferred
the fairest possessions Of Sweden to
Russia. Russian attacks on Turkey
and Persia began almost at once. The
tremendous Russian fabric Of the pres
ent was then and there put under way.
The vast power of Sweden, which had
kept the north world under her sway,
was gone.

DR.. George H. Ferris, the beloved
pastor of the First Baptist church,
whose resignation because Of illness is
widely deplored, told me a good one
of ''panhandler" who came to him
one day in quest Of the wherewithal.
"As he fumbled his hat at the thresh-
DID," said the doctor, II asked him
rather brusquely, fear-what he
wanted.
"Doctor,' he anwered, to be perfect
IL frank with you, I'm looking for a
little financial succor.'
""Then you should have come to me
when I first entered the ministry I
answered"
Doctor Ferris congregation, by the
way, has given % Of it's members to
war service. Can any other Phlladel-
phia church show a larger 'honor
roll?" I should be glad to hear
Philadelphia Ledger.
