THESE SPEAK WELL
OF SUNDAY SCHOOL

1t is not long cry from war and
war service to the Sunday school, for
the ideal which was the ruling factor
in our lives during the past two years
is the ideal of Christianity. Never,
before the days when Christ walked
the earth, were justice, freedom and
liberty known. 1t was He who gave
these principles to the world. 1t was
He who made these principles living
forces; and every soldier has fought
for Christ. and every one who has
worked or sacrificed has worked or
sacrificed for Christ. So it is that
we feel that in the Sunday school the
foundations are laid for good citizen
ship, and good citizenship means the
maintenance forever of the principles
for which so many have suffered and
so many died. The call comes from
the Governor Of the State. making to-
morrow special day for Sunday
school attendance. He feels the i'm
portance of this movement, but we
feel assured that he does not intend
to convey the impression that when
people and children have attended
once there shall be an end. Tomor-
row should mark the beginning OF a
renewed conservation Or giving of
ourselves to the cause of Christianity
that the things which we have
borne. the sacrifices which we have
made. the lives which have been
spent, and the treasure which has
been poured out shall not have been
in vain; but counting all these things
as gain. press on to the fulfillment of
our hopes. Let our ideal still be the
winning OF the war and the estab-
lishment of the ideal. The new gen
GRAFTON, the children of the Sunday
school must carry on for US. Let US
help them, encourage them, and urge
them TO attend their Sunday schools
there to receive the knowledge of
Christ. the founder of our ideal
Ross Turman.
The Governor. in his proclamation
naming March 2 as "Go-to-Sunday-
School Sunday" has simply reminded
the parents of a sacred duty which
they have TO perform-a duty which
is but too often sadly neglected-the
duty to take an interest in the reiig-
ious instruction of their children: and
this education of their children ought
to be for parents a matter of such i'm
portance that nothing should grieve
them so much as to see them turn out
badly, or be source of joy to them
to see them walking in truth" The
future happiness of the child depends
upon the early training it receives;
the first impressions are always the
most lasting; not only as regards to
temporal affairs, but also in the spir-
itual life of the soul. Let the parents
consider this responsibility that rests
upon their shoulders; IF any man
have not care of his own. and especi-
ally those of his house, he hath denied
the faith and is worse than an inf

/ would like to exhort the parents
on this occasion to be faithful in the
discharge of this duty and send their
chifdren-not only on this particular
Sunday. but every Sunday - to the
Sunday school. that they may be in
structed in that which is most inn
portant for all, the salvation of our
immortal soul.-Father Meisekothen.

HISTORIC OLD
HOME is BURNED
Old Billups Home Rich in Historical
Memories OF Days That Have
Gone.

A landmark in Mississippi partially
passed away when the handsome and
beautiful old John NJ Billups home
was partially destroyed by flames in
the disasterous fire which visited
North Ninth street Monday morning.
The old home was rich in memories
Of the days that have gone, the days
Of the Confederaey and the recon
struction period. Within its walls
distinguished leaders and statesmen
ot the State and the South were en-
teryamed during the war period.
1t was constructed before the war
by Governor James Whitfield, grand
father OF Mrs. c, H. Ayres of this
city and a relative of many other
Columbians. 1t was designed by the
Governor after the plans of Monti-
cello, the home of Thomas jefferson.
1t was a stately mansion with mas
sive columns sIld was beautiful type
Of the architecture of the South be-
lore the war.
President Davis of the Confederacy
was among the distinguished guests
who were entertained there. On one
occasion he delivered an address from
the small balcony Of the second floor
to an assemblage of citizens who had
gathered on the front lawn to pay
homage to the great Southern leader.
The old home was the embodied Of
all Of the tradition and sentiment of
the old South and its partial destruc-
tion marks the passing Of but another
Of those old homes that can never
: be replaced. Landmarks of the days
Of the Old South are passing, the in
animate Ne we'll as the living.

DISASTROUS BLAZE YESTER-
DAY.

Another disasterous fire occurred
yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock.
It was the home Of Connie Billups,
a negro living on South Eleventh
avenue. 1t was long run but the
firemen reached the scene before the
flames had gained much headway.
Water was thrown ON the roof Of the
building and after stream had been
paying on il for a few minutes the
whole south side of the building
burst up in a mass of flames.
At this juncture the water supply
was cut off TO attach hose at the
point Of contact with the plug more
than three blocks away. This was
done in order to give more hose in a
plan to save an adjoining building,
but it was found impossible to drag
the long hose closer to the adjoining
house.
A fireman drove the motor truck
away for additional hose and had in
tended bringing it to the nozzle end
Of the line, but on reaching the scene
Of the fire found that it had dropped
out Of the wagon or had been pulled
out at the plug.
The house was practically total
loss.

NOISY WELCOME
Great Parade Today In New
YOrk-General Pershing
Viii Lead Big Pro-
cesSiOn.

New York, Sept. S.-General Per-
shing, after two years in command of
the greatest army America has ever
sent TO battle, returned to the United
States today. AS he stepped ashore
from the huge liner Leviathan he was
handed commission as full gener-
al, rank previously held by only
three Americans-Grant, Sheridan
and Sherman.
Fhe stern-faced soldier was not
proof against the tribute of praise
and gratitude which was roared from
hundreds of thousands of the throats
of his fellow citizens.
His voice trembled with emotion as
he responded to the greetings extend
ed by Secretary of War Baker in his
own behalf and that of the President
as well as the welcoming addresses
of representatives of the Senate and
House, state and city.
AS his car passed slowly through
the cheering multitudes which jam
med Broadway from the battery to
the city hall, General Pershing at
tempted in vain to maintain his COM
posure. At first he replied to the
cheers with a stiff salute which mill
tsry etiquette demands, but he was
soon carried away by the storm Of
appause which swept in great gusts
about him Rising to his feet he
waved his cap about his head with
q boyish gesture which told how
deeply he WAS stirred while the grim

SURROUNDED BY HIS GOWN


Surrounded by comrades, humber
in station but who had offered their
all just as freely in the cause of lib
erty, General Pershing first reglimp-
sed his native land from the ,Levia-
than, once pride of greater Germany,
as she nosed her way off the Jersey
coast. The general stood upon her
deck with the famous composite
regiment" 5000 picked American
soldiers, known as ''Pershing's own"
These stalwart soldiers were his
guard Of honor when Paris and Lon
don paid tribute to the American
commander, and they will be his
guard of honor when his own coun-
try's metropolis pays its full need of
praise Wednesday.
Just after the general walked down
the gang plank at Hoboken he re-
ceived the first reward which a
grateful country has offered him. In
the name of the nation, Secretary
III wal k1dhGl bliAl NOAh-
mission as full general in the Ameri-
can army. Standing behind him was a
little boy. He was Sergeant Warren
Pershing, the commander-in-chief' s
only surviving child. When the gener-
al received his commission he turned
to his son and handed him the docu-
mtnt with an injunction to keep it
safe. The sergeant" kept it safely
all right, but later on, in the great
crowd in the city hall, he got separa-
ted from his father. much to the dis
may of the general. When the boy
was recovered his father asked anx-
ously:
Warren, have you got the commits
sion?"
"Yes, sir" replied the sergeant"
propmty.
The army and officialdom did not
have it their own way at the prelimi-
nary reception at Hoboken. Among
a little army of welfare workers who
greeted General Pershing were so
girls, three of whom were decorated
for bravery under fire while serving
with the First Division. Eight naval
seaplanes scared over the ship as she
streamed over the bay, and included
in the committee at the dock was
Rear Admiral Morgan, commander
of the cruiser and transport service.
