THE ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL.

New York Tribune: The day fol
lowing the death of Theodore
Roosevelt The Tribune asked for
suggestions as to the most appro-
pirate memorial. The first reply was
from the Rev. Stefano l.. Tesla, OF
Brooklyn, who said the best monu-
ment would be "a national educa-
tional movement for Americaniza.
ton" Hundreds of other letters fol.
lowed, and at least three out of Nv:
expressed a similar or related idea
Now the Roosevelt memorial ma
tional committee makes it known
that a majority of the many sugges
4 lions it has received favor "a dyna
! mic commemoration over any sort OF
marble or bronze tribute" A typical
suggestion cited by the committee Is
that Of Miss Eugenia Wallace. Sug
costing series of scholarships, Miss
| Wallace says:
These scholarships should be
of such variety that they would
meet all needs, from four-year
scholarships in college to six
months training-in stenogra
ply, plumbing. agriculture. etc.
The details could be worked out
by the schools themselves, CO
operating with educational
authorities and vocational ad-
visers. II action is quickly taken
1t should be possible TO use much
of the excellent machinery that
/ has been employed during the
last four years for emergency
training courses.
That public opinion should be s.
nearly one as to the belief that tn
most appropriate Roosevelt memoria
would be some institution or move
ment for human betterment, rathe
than costly pile of marble or graz
lite, is in itself splendid memoria
: to the great American.

one fraught with difficulties the brunt of which
this nation is likely to bear. Mexico has enor-

RELIGIOUS DEPARTMENT.
Edited by j. w. Boggs
Of New Orleans

Sunday School lesson for Sunday,
May 4th. Subject: Man made in
the Image of God.-Gen. 1868;
2:7-9.
Each one is especially requested to
read very carefully the first two
chapters Of the Bible. You may use
any version of the Bible you like, and
as you read do SO with the thought
that you are going to let the Bible
speak for itself. In other words,
don't try to read anything into the
Bible which is not there.
Notice in the first place that it
does not say that God took six feet
of earth and made a man. 1t does
say that God formed man out of the
dust of the earth; and scientists DO
not deny this. Notice also that II
does not say how God made the
world. Science tells us how the
world was made but does not tell us
who made it. But any true scientist
will tell you that back of all creation
was some power greater than the
forces Of nature. 1t has been re-
marked that the Bible tells us God
made the world and that science tells
US how He made it.
Notice further that it says man
was made in the image of God. Let
US consider what was the nature of
God. In John 4:24 we read that
God is a spirit. Then if God is a
spirit He has no human form, and SO
man could not have been made in
body like God, and consequently we
believe that he was made in spirit
like God. We believe today that a
regenerated man has the spirit Of
God.
So let us take our Bibles and read
them carefully, and with an open
mind for the truth, and when this is
done there will be little room for
scepticism in our minds.

CURB MARKET NOTES.

There is a rumor coming from the
vicinity of the Curb Market that the
prices of some things are being kept
on a par with those of the stores.
The purpose of the Curb Market is
to be a medium of help both to the
producer and the consumer and by
transferring the produce from one
to the other directly, to do away
with he middle man. In this way
the producer gets the same prices for
his wares that he does from the store
keeper, but he gets them IN cash in
stead of taking them in exchange fo1
other wares. While the consumer
gets the benefit of the profit that the
S orekeeper would make, the store
keeper in the meantime gets the
benefit of the cash which is put into
circulation at the Curb Market.
Therefore, if the farmer is going
to insist on asking for his produce
the same price that the storekeeper
asks for his, there would be absolute
1y no advantage to the housewife in
patroniZing the Curb Market. She
could do her marketing at the stores
much more easily, and have her or
ders delivered at her back door.
i therefore call the attention of all
who bring produce to the Curb Mark
ct to the blackboard containing the
prevailing prices as fixed by Miss
Martha Williams, who keeps in touch
with the current market prices and
makes a very small reduction as an
inducement to the housewife to at
tend the Curb Market. l wish to
impress emphatically the fact that
these prices must be adhered to in
CIDER to keep the market fair and
uniform.
In order to facilitate trade would
suggest to each vendor to have a
good sized piece of paper pinned on
his conveyance, containing list of
what he has for sale. In this way
the wares would also be better adj
vertised.
