The lecture at the Auditorium

ed house and was unusually interest

chisel on our countenances a perma-
nent expression"

Only those are fit to live who do
not fear to die, and none are fit to
die who have shrunk from the joy Of
life and the beauty of life. Both
life and death are parts Of the same
great adventure. Honor, highest
honor, to those who fearlessly face
death for a good cause No life is SC
honorable or so fruitful as such z
death. Unless men are willing tc
fight and die for great ideals, includ-
ing love Of country, ideals will van.

For nearly two years the Centen-
ary Movement of the Methodist
church has been gathering moment
um through the nation. One feature
of the movement is the raising a vast
sum of money for religious use. At
first the leaders of the denomination
decided TO ask the church for eighty
millions of dollars but later it was de-
cided to raise twenty-five millions
more TO meet the needs of war re-
construction at home and abroad.
This total of 105 millions to be in ex-
cess of what the churches were al
ready giving for their local enter
prlses- The campaign for this huge
amount was begun last May and
within three weeks the people had re-
sponded with more than the amount
originally called for. The canvass
has been going on ever since in re-
tarded sections of the country and is
still in progress. The sum raised to
date is in excess Of 125 millions.
What viii especially interest the peo-
pie of Hays is the fact that Hays has
been selected by the Church Boards
as one Of the places to receive aid
from this large Centenary fund.
Word has been received by the pastor
of the Hays Methodist church, who
has been working for some time tc
secure this gift of substantial grant
to the Hays church with the promise
that the size Of the amount to be I'm
/ ally accorded TO Hays VIII depend
upon the attitude Of the people Of
Hays towards great social and relig
ious forward movement IN Hays.

Georgia Delegation

ATLANTA, May 2O.-While the
Ga. delegation to the Democratic con-
vention in Frisco, chosen at the clos
ing session of the state convention in
Atlanta early yesterday morning, has
not yet met to organize, the belief

delegates that Charles S. Barrett,

the delegation.
1t is said that Mr.. b lrett will
