Wells overlook the most obvious an

AS democracy is the key to Americas 3
at.:W;c to the German menace, so al

OF the theological riddle. God made

and self-control. "The kingdom Of God
is not meat and drink, Lat righteous

Ghost The love of peace and right
eousness is essential. We may con-
clude, then, with Mr.. Wells that God
is limited. He does not exert infinite
power in human affairs. But we mast
add God is not finite in the possession

Impotence exerted to prevent even the

Hence, God limits Himself that we
may achieve freedom.
Freedom is indeed Gods highest
gift to man. But it is also the most
fearful in it's possibilities and it's bur.
dens. French revolutions and Hohen-
Izollern dynasties and great wars and
Russian debacles slumber in the
womb of this great gift we call free

misery. But to take It from. us is to
rob us Of our birthright and of our

THE coLoRED CIVIC BODY.


New Iberia, La, June %, 1918.
The Emmett J. Scott Civic League CT
New Iberia held its second meeting at
the st. Paul Congregational church, On
Monday night, June Oath, together with
the War Savings Stamps, which was pre-
sided over by Dr.. T. L. WEIGH, charm an
of the League.
Our attendance was excellent, and On
! whole, shows clearly the great interest
our people have at heart, in the perplex-
ing questions that now confront our
National Government; for we have
learned, as never before, that whatever
affects America affects the twelve mil
lion negroes of America in the same
proportion.
The three distinguished white visitors
that attended the meeting were in per-
sons of Hon. Jules Dreyfus, Prof. Llovd
Porter and Judge Power As usual, Mr..
Dreyfus brought thoughts enough to
feast upon until another occasion of this
kind comes again, and we trust that will
be soon. He gave US cold facts, in round
numbers, Of the almost irreparable loss
caused by the greatest of all wars, which
he said was thrust upon our present civ
ilization by the kaiser and his blood
thursty military caste. Judging from
past addresses and the one which we
were favored with on this occasion, we
feel safe in saying, there is no one in all
America who is better versed on condi-
tions that exist under the reign of autoc-
racy with its iron heel than Mr. Drey-
fus. He showed that by means of the
War Savings Stamps system, the Gov
eminent has made it possible for every
one of its subjects, however poor, to help
win the war. To this end he said there
is nothing 50 dear that America will not
sacrifice. Again, he informed us in an
eloquent. though stern way that III.
Stars and Stripes have never known de-
feat, and that though she is engaged in
the greatest conflict the world has ever
known, she must emerge in the end, vic
torious. Especially did he drive home
the undeniable fact that we have yet to
learn the great lesson of economy. Think
of the enormous sum of fifty billions of
dollars spent yearly for non essentials,
and ask yourself the question: Can our
people long subsist, in a cricis like this
one, at that worthless expenditure of
money? This one ringing thought of
the speaker, Economy" will in due time
have its desired effect. Let US emulate
the spirit of the great French nation. Let
us early learn the lessons of thrift and
economy.
Prof. Porter in an admirable way ex-
planned the War Savings Stamps, and
urged our people to invest their money in
War Savings Stamps. He also told in
touching words, the atrocities, cruelties
and privations that have been heaped
upon the Belgiums, Serbians and Rou-
manian people.
Our next speaker was in the person
Of our Hon. ]. S. Power, City Judge. All
present were thoroughly convinced that
the Judge is one hundred per cent Amer
lean. In strong and impressive language
be gave his audience to know that Amer
lea will accept no compromise or prem1-

ever have enough money in this world
to make another splendid trip as this
one which will close in the next eight or

Chic. Wheeling, West Virginia, Pitts

about ninety miles from Philadelphia and
expect to reach there in about three
hours. We have splendid Pullman ac-

WEIGHT OF AN INCH OF WATER
One Hundred and Ten Tons Fall on
Every Acre Covered by Shower
of That Proportion.

Do you know what an "inch of
rain" means to farmers? When the
weather bureau reports that an inch
Of rain has fallen, it means that the
amount of water that descended from
the sky in that particular shower
would have covered the surrounding
territory to depth of one inch, IL
none Of it had run Off or soaked into
the ground.
It means that on one acre Of ground
water to I'LL more than 900 barrels
Of 40 gallons each has fallen. That
quantity Of water weighs more than
40 tons. II the rainstorm covered
1000 acres, which would be q very
small shower indeed, $4,000 tons Of
water would fall from the clouds.
Rainstorms frequently cover whole
counties, and often two or three or
five inches Of water fall In one
storm. In that case the weight Of
water that falls to the earth is sim
ply enormous. A single widespread
and heavy storm might result, 1t has
been estimated. in 10000, 100000 tons
Of rain.

~Human Nature" In Dogs.

A real, full-blooded English bulldog
has been In our family for seven years,
writes a newspaper contributor, and
rs time goes on we find him more and
more human.
One of his traits has amused us for
years. Sunny, as the dog has been
appropriately named, Is very particu-
lar about his food. Real, old-fashioned
dog biscuit Is beneath his dignity.
When a bowl Of biscuit Is put down
for his supper he shifts with disgust
and turns away.
But resting conveniently close at
hand Is little papfer-mache model of
bulldog that rejoices In the name Of
Fido. All that we have to do In order
to bring Sunny back to his bowl is to
call "Here, Fido, Fidop and to put
Fido In front Of the dinner. So long
as he feels that some other dog may
possibly get the food, Sunny will eat
every crumb, and with a grunt Of salts
faction nose Fido out Of the way. Ii
not that precisely the nature Of some
humans7
