of feeding the hundreds of thousands
of starving Armenians until they are

THE BILLY SUNDAY OF 174o.

A hundred and sevcnty-six years

Billy Sunday, who, considering the

day as compared with this, did very

his name, and the Boston Globe re-
calls how nc drove into Boston late

preacher with little standing, anu

not help following him out Of the city

He preached sixteen times Il week,
his congregation often including 5000
people: and his trail hitters, accord
ing to an ancient chronicler, "were
taken over very suddenly, one after
another, and were to all appearances
savingly converted and some of them
wrought upon in very remarkable

Z 900 TONS OF FLOUR; 5 MILLION
YARDS OF CLOTH.

Little time remains in which the
people of Virginia can raise the $780,
600 allotted this State in the nation
al campaign of the Armenian and Sy-
rian Relief committee for $30,000,000
With the drive coming to close
on Sunday, it is urgently necessary
that all contributions be made at
once in order that the fund may be
completed Immediately and the relief
started to 100000 starving people.
Plans already have been made by
the committee for immediate action,
and the two naval transports, the
Mercurious and the Pensacola, have
been loaned without charge for this
work. Both transports are German
boats, and will be used to carry re-
lief to the peoples their allies, the
Turks, tried to exterminate. Five
million yards of cloth, largely khaki,
have been purchased with an ad-
equate supply of thread, needles,
thmbles, buttons, ETC., and will be
sent on one of the transports. This
cloth will furnish work and then the
clothing for the women and children
of the Near East. The second trans
port viii! carry relief workers.
The committee also has just COM
pleted by wireless the purchase of
1000 tons of flour for $1,200,O0O
from the Food Administration, the
steamer carrying this cargo being
directed by radio to proceed to the
Near East. No time was lost because
OF the urgent need of relief. People
OF Virginia must lose no time now
in responding to the appeal of the
committee for funds, which Presi-
dent Wilson called upon the people of
the United States to support.

l sometimes think that inasmuch as
the church has failed to do this in
the 1900 years of its opportunity, it
may be that the Lord has chosen the
political rulers of the nations to car

Had the church been true to her
mission there could have been no war.

his co-laborers may be so inspired
with the spirit of the Prince of Peace
that every obstacle to an early 'ust

CROWNS AND TOP.
LING THRONES.

Crowns are crumbling these days,
remarks the Sunday School Times.
Somebody said long time ago,
uneasy lies the head that wears Il
CROWN" and somebody else spoke of
the "The fierce light which beats up
on throne" Within a short period
of time the Emperor of Germany, the
Car of Russia, Sultan Of Turkey, the
King of Greece and the Emperor of
China have seen their crows topplc
and their thrones crumble into dust,
all before the onward march of II
democracy which is spreading rap
idly throughout the world. "Diplo-
matte conspiracics" of the earth have
wrought the ruin of the conspirators.
And so it will be with the conspira-
tors of hell, finally.
Jesus, says the Sunday School
Times, is eventually to be crowned
King of Kings and Lord of Lords. In
the meantime the Bible warns: "Hold
fast that thou hast, that no man take
thy crown" Your "crown of reioic-
ing" your "crown of righteousness, ;"
and "crown of glory" These, and
these alone are crowns that will never
fade or crumble away.
