CHURCH TOUCHES ONLY THE
EDGE OF HEATHENISM

"The Church has merely touched
the fringes of heathenism,'' declared
Bishop Collins Denny, of the M. F
Church, South. in addressing a meet
ing in the interest of the Centenary
Movement of this chur h at Louis
vile a few days ago.
ITO work effectively" the Bishop
said, "the church must organize as a
great business enterprise would
marshal it's forces in leading the otl-
er enterprises of the world. Surely
if cold business can organize for
stupendous tasks, the Church of God
with it's goal the carrying of peace
and happiness throughout the world
surely it can organize on a scale
commensurate with the worthiness
of its standard. l am proud thai
Methodists have caught a vision of
the great things which must be
done, and know every loyal men
Der of the church will stand by and
fight through in the great financial
drive ahead of us. For the success
of that drive means more than the
accumulation of dollars; it means
happiness to all those countless
who will be directly bene
fitted, and a revivified heart for
eich individual who helped ia make
the happiness of others possible"

COALQUEUES
AREFREQUENT
NOW IN LONDON
BLACK Diamonds Purchas-
ed by Basketball Among
London Poor.

London, Feb. 1S.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press. Goal
queues. the terror of the poor of Lon
don, have again made their appear
ance because of an acute shortage In
the coal supply, and thousands upon
thousands Of persons have been daily
standing in line in the hope of getting
enough coal to keep some kind of fire
going in their humble homes.
A coal queue is an interesting sight.
EARLY in the morning the number of
customers appearing at some distri-
buting point exceeds the number be-
ing disposed of by the pal merchant.
So they line up, in the order of their
arrival. and patiently wait until they
are supplied. or told by the merchant
that he has no more-by no means
an i%nfrequent development.
They buy in small quantities for two
reasons-some of them have little
money to invest in coal at existing
high prices, while the second cause
is the lack of means to remove large
quantities. Often perambulators pro-
vide the vehicle, but more often the
purchaser tucks his "black diamonds"
away in an old basket, and hurries on
his way.
If the dealer is so fortunate as to
have a ton or two of coal the queue
will be maintained for hours in the
biting cold. If his supply is short, he
is soon sold out, and the queue dis
solves, only to be reformed at some
other place in the hope of finding
more coal.
1t often happens that persons of
means approach the dealer and offer
high prices for quantities out of all
proportion to the supply, and it is
often recorded that the dealer will
refuse the temptation, because he
l,poyyc fhof his tra1a ic om0n0 the
people who are his regular customers,
the poor of the neighborhood, and
they will not forget him when he has
abundant coal to sell if he discrimin-
ates in favor of a casual but richer
person.
So poor and rich alike have been
suffering and shivering, because no
TO drop as sharply as it has within the
past few days. The winter to this
time has been open and wei and
sickeningly chilly, but not SO cold as
to cause actual suffering, eve with a
short fuel supply. But with the mer-
curry lowering around 20 degrees
above zero, "12 degrees of FROST they
call it here, coal is a necessity.
The shortage of coal is ascribed ia
a number of reasons, chiefly the
dilatory work of the miners who have
demanded a six-hour working day,
and the scarcity of railroad cars. Coal
supplies in all centers of population
are far below normal, and there is nc
prospect of an immediate improve
ment in tho situation. Many persons
ave sought other means of keeping
warm. One OLD man and his wife
they arc over eighty, have been in bee
for a week because they-,have no Goa
in the house. and their daughter cares
for thcm. Children also are being
kept between blankets with success
but the sturdy of the city must beal
the burden as we'll as they can, will

the balmy days of spring come t.
chase away the necessity for artificial
heat.
