100 TROMBONES
HELP CELEBRATE
Will Be Feature of Methodist
Methodist Centenary
Celebration

Columbus, o., June ia choir
of 100 trombones, said to be the
largest ever organized, will be a
feature of the Methodist Centenary
celebration here June 20 to July
13, which will mark the close of
100 years of missionary work by
the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Alto and tenor were the prin-
cipal trombones used by the choir,
which has been rehearsing for
weeks. To give the complete voic,
ing necessary, soprano and bass
trombones had to be produced in
large numbers and those accus-
toned to playing the more COM
mon trombones had to acquire a
new technique. The soprano from
bone, in particular, had not been
used in concert in more than 100
years, according to II. B. Dickson,
organizing secretary.
Special scores had to be prepared
for the simplest church hymns and
for the greatest choruses of sacred
and semi-sacred music. Besides the
trombone choir, there will be a $50
900 pipe organ, a mixed chorus of
800 voices, II chorus of 500 negro
singers, group of trained oratorio
singers and n band from the IA
nous Rainbow division.
100000 Visitors Expected

I'm the long periods of training
over there, the Y. NJ. G. A. workers
were constantly found organizing
amusements, aiding men in CORES
ponding with their friends, giving
counsel and advice in the embar-
easements that arose in the daily
life of the soldier, ministering to
them by the distribution of such
things as could be provided by the
generous funds of the people of
America; welcoming the incoming
soldier and giving the outgoing SOL

very front line trenches, over which
shrapnel burst and over which aero

Tom Mason laid his hand on my

but he caught my shoulders in a
ruthless grip, and with his eyes
burning down into mine, he rasped
"I was mad to say word against
Jim. You're blind in your worship

BAKER PRAISES
Y.M.C. A. WORK
Secretary of War Pays Tri-
butte to the Men
Overseas

81 am happy to have any public
opportunity to testify to the appre-
citation which the War Department
and the Army of the United States
feel for the services rendered by
the Y. NJ. c. A., both at home and
overseas. / think that it
is solemnly true that no army of any
size, or any nationality, including our
own, ever before in the history of
mankind, has had such a record of
health, cleanliness and high idealism
of purpose.
There were assembled about these
soldiers not only the Influences of
homo and of neighborhood but the
great trained agencies for dealing
with life of the young. The Y. NJ.
C. A, by reason of it's longer estab-
lishment, its longer experience and
its larger facilities, had the greater
part of this work to do, especially
abroad.
Invited Assistance of Other Agencies
81 do not know If I can convey
to those who have not had an op-
portunity to see what went on there,
any adequate idea of the character
of that service. l hope that it will
be understood that | am not speak
ing exclusively of the Y. NJ. C. A, for
in many instances they welcomed
and invited the assistance of other
agencies.
But, as I crossed the Atlantic
during the war, through the danger
zone, found the Y. M. c. A. worker
on the ship, taking his place beside
the soldier, In the cold hours just
before dawn when we were brought
on deck to await there the most
perilous hour of that day, ard as we
stood there the night dis
appeared and the day came on, every
eye strained over the sea to search
out and see if we could find the
stealthy adversary who was seeking
us. the Y. M. c. A. worker braved
their peril with the soldier and sal

10000 to 100000 visitors expect
ed at the celebration which, direc-
tors say, will be the biggest church
meeting ever held. The State School
for the Blind, the State School for
the Deaf and the former army bar
racks on the Ohio State university
camps will be used to house the
delegates. Forty thousand rooms in
private homes also have been listed.
Hundreds of delegates will eat
their meals in former saloons which
went out of business when Ohio be-
came dry May 81 and which have
been converted into restaurants to

CHAPTER CCXXIII.

This is a great old path" Tom
Mason's voice was remiscent as ne
i scuffed his feet in the underbrush
and managed to walk along at my
side through the narrow, leaty way
that leads from Mason Towers 10
the old Harrison place. And great
old times we had playing Indians
and Stage Coach when we were
children. Envy and Jim and l grew
up together around here, you know y
where Virginia." l asked
innocently.
Virginia is nearly my age, and
she was busy playing young lady
and looked on the rest of us as kids.
But a matter of a couple of years
didn't phase me, so l played with
Jim and Envy. There isn't six
months between them. BY jove!
old Jimmy must be rising twenty
eight. And only yesterday we three
were kids. You can tell I'm getting
old from the way I ramble along
about the past, can't you, Mrs.
Jimmie?"
I made a laughing rejoinder, but
wasn't thinking of my words.
What occupied my mind was that
Envy must he ''rising twenty
eight" too. 1t made me feel more
secure about her friendship with
Neal. She wouldn't be taking a boy
five or six years younger than her
self seriously. I wondered if Tom
Mason had told me that deliber-
ately-to reassure me. That would
have been a nice, friendly thing to
do, and it wasn't disloyal to Evyy,
since Jim also knew.
BY now we had reached the Har-
rison place. and with a fleeting sigh
for the joy l might have felt in hav-
ing Jim show me his old home. I
wandered over the grounds with
