tion to what was the case number
of years ago when women were it's
chief supporters. Rev. Mr.. Miller
said that the church is the best safe
guard there is to the home and busi-
ness. He asked cooperation on the
part of those in attendance in defray-
ing the expense incident to the mass
meetings and his words met liberal
response.
WAS there ever such time as the
present." queried DR.. Chamberlain,
speaker Of the afternoon, after he had
been presented, with half OF the
world under arms?" He continued
There is scarcely a home in half>of
the world which Is not decorated with
crepe. The cause? The men have
answered the call of patriotism"
Patriotism, according to DIR. Cham
berlain, is divided into two elements
loyalty to man and loyalty to a
cause. When one thinks of great
names in the worlds history, he
thinks of great causes.
The reverse is also true The speak
er illustrated by citing George Wash
ington as the father of the country
and the embodiment of true Ameri-
can ideals; Abraham Lincoln as the
relentless foe of slavery; Christopher
Columbus as the discoverer of Ameri-
ca, Martin Luther as the father Of
the Reformation and Mohammed as
the propagator of Islam. CDR. Cham
berlain took occasion to call attention
to the falsity of this last religion.)
This same loyalty to man and to a
cause was strikingly illustrated by
the speaker in the case of the apostles
of Christ. He reminded his auditors
of how these men had fed from Jesus
but later, caught with the enthusiasm
of the cause, had returned to Him,
feeling that He still abided with them,
despite the crucifixion.
The great career of Paul came in
for particular attention. His chief
characteristic was his earnest loyalty
to home, to school and to country.
His zeal and enthusiasm stamped
him as true Christian patriot. His
cause required more courage than to
enter battle. Short excerpts from the
Bible were read by DR.. Chamberlain
in tracing the course of Pauls career
and in establishing the contention
that he was imbued with a true Chris
tian patriotism.
Such loyalty to a cause should exist
in this country today, DR.. Chamber
!, lain stated and explained that he
meant loyalty to more than ones
self, single friend or home-a loyal
ty to all homes of the nation al
though IT. may mean leaving ones
own home.
The highest patriotism a young
man can show, in addition to handling
musket, is a reflection in his own
daily life Of the ideals of his country,
the speaker averred. "a loyalty to
God in His Plans for all countries is
the true Christian patriotism" DR..
Chamberlain concluded.
Secretary Spence suggested that
Onward Christian Soldiers" would
be a most appropriate hymn and the
same was sung with a vim by the
congregation which was dismissed
with prayer by DR.. Dye.
The orchestra of the Baptist church
played during the afternoon.
DR.. William Foster Peirce, presi-
dent of Kenyon college, with the Ken
yon glee club of 25 voices under the
direction of James P. DeWolf, will
form the attraction for the mass
meeting next Sunday.

MINK is TRAPPED
LICKING COUNTY MAN CAPTURES
RARE ANIMAL

Friday morning. while patroling his
frapllne, Elmer Haag, had the novel ex-
perience of trapping mink, which is a
very rare animal in this locality and
a difficult animal TO trap. 1t requires
skill and experience to trap mink,
owing to It's keen scent.
The mink of today is nearly extinct
in Ohio.
The mink measured 80 inches from
tip to tip, has a very tine quality of
fur, and has high value at the pres
ent time.-Newark Advocate.

month of March was selected as the
time for the campaign. 1t was then
suggested that the same be started
off with a Go-to-Church Sunday. A
publicity committee was named and
the results of the work we're seen in
the big attendance Sunday.
The churches of the city which
have joined in the campaign are as
follows Baptist, Congregational,
Episcopal, Methodist Episcopal and
Methodist Protestant. The Church of
Christ had already planned its own
evangelistic campaign so, by vote of
the congregation, it decided to adhere
to this. Meetings there have been In
progress several weeks.
Each of these FIVE churches. with
the exception of the Congregational,
will hold a meeting every night in
the week with the exception OF Satur-
day. The fixed hour of 7;15 o'clock
has been decided upon as the time for
the starting Of the meetings At
the Congregational church, regular
services will be emphasized with
special stress on Thursday night.
The Presbyterian church, while
heartily endorsing the plan of stimuli
taneous endeavor, finds itself without
pastor, on account of the resigna-
tion of the Rev. w. A. Clemmer. It's
pulpit will be supplied each Sunday.
On Sunday OF this week, Rev. Mr..
McClelland of Newark spoke. Thurs
day night meetings will be held in
this church.
The publicity committee of the Min
isterial association has asked that
people refrain, as far as convenient,
from making engagements which
will conflict with these various ser
vices. The committee is also anxious
that as many people be present at the
services each night as possible.
The simultaneous campaign has
several features in it which are de-
signed to attract people to church.
One of these is fraternal night, about
which more definite announcements
will appear in the future On this
night, it is planned that all lodges of
the city of Mt Vernon attend services
at some church in body Each min
lister in the campaign has been as
signed several lodges and he will
formally invite these to attend his
church on this night. Sermons, ap.
propriate to the good work done in
the world by fraternal orders, will be
preached at the time. 1t is hoped to
make this night one OF the very big
gest In the campaign.
During the next month, Mt. Vernon
will pass through period of religious
revival such as has not been known
for years. To be true, several church
es have regularly held evangeIistic
services each winter, but the new ele-
ment which enters into the work this
year is the simultaneous effort. To
know that others are attending church
along with ones self Is certain TO
swell the congregations at mid-week
servicesi
The publicity in connection with
the campaign will be continued
throughout the month of March. The
newspapers OF the city will run an
nouncements daily OF the services
which will be held in the various
churches which have Joined in the
endeavor. A close attention to these
will reveal many services which will
prove of interest.
Those notices will he under the
boxed heading, Simultaneous Evan
gelistic Campaign" the first Of which
appears in today's issue of The Ban
ner.

The fact that Prof. r. G.. Jackson has
been invited by at least two large
white church organizations to render
for them Guonod's Redemption
which was given with such triumph
at Allen Chapel last week is an evil
dence that white people do appreciate
classical music rendered by Negroes
and that it is not necessary to resort
to ragtime travesties in order to Sc
cure an intelligent hearing. Pass this
fact around, please, Brother Editors.

 If the governor of California were 10 send an officer here armed with requisition papers for the extradition of some person in this county, 1 would advise that officer to locate Tom Campbell and to accept his handling of the requisition as official.
