On Strength of British Empire

That Great Britain's measures to
recover lost ground are dictated
by an enlightened self-interest" is
one of the striking indications of
substantial Improvement in the
general situation abroad according
to the statement of the Guaranty
Trust Company of New York in
the latest issue of its fortnightly
trade review. American Goods and
Foreign Markets"
The recovery of all Europe de-
pends in very large measure on the
increasing strength of the British
Empire" it addsl, "and Great Brit
ain is sparing neither resources
nor keen judgment to this end.
Every important decision Is weigh
ed much more with an eye to the
future than the immediate present.
In this line stands the decision to
repay the Anglo-French loan at
maturity, which single transaction
according to Sir Robert Horne, the
Lord Chancellor. will be worth
hundreds of millions to the EN-
pire. 1t Is undoubtedly q burden

GYM AT NORMAL is

Richmond, KY, June 1S.-The influx
of school teachers, which was evident
the last of the week, has increased to
such proportions at the Eastern Nor
NAL school that 1t was decided to con-
vert the gymnasium into sleeping
quarters for the present, which was
done. The opening of the summer
school on Tuesday is the cause. While
it was expected there would be good
ly number, II was not believed the list
would be nearly as extensive as at
present-and they are still coming In.
The matter of registering. usually
the most important feature of the new
arrivals, has become a secondary con-
sideration, since the first thing is to
look out for quarters. The city has been
secured, and therewere many pretty
school misses late Monday night walk
ing the streets for some time, until
places were provided for them. In
many instances no accommodation
could be secured with the result that
the newcomers were forced to return

Church Of the Nativity,

To the Faithful. The Church OF
the Nativity (Episcopal is without O
rector and in the near future Bishop
Burton will be here for a visitation
meanwhile it is his earnest wish that
the congregation keep together and at
tend the prayer services on Sunday
mornings. The older communicates OF
the church realize the Importance OF
this, and the younger members are
asked to bring a friend. The service
each Sunday morning until further
notice, will be conducted by Mr. Harry
Curran and will begin at 10:45 and
close at 1870. If each member is
faithful, what richer blessing can be
asked, than the one promised when the
good Bishop reverently says the fol-
lowing prayer, as the candidates kneel
at the chancel rail during the confirm
aation service? Defend, o Lord, this
thy child with thy heavenly grace !;
that he may continue thine forever and
daily increase in thy Holy Spirit more
and more, until he come unto thy
everlasting kingdom, Amen" We hope
every member of the Parish will join
in the spirit of this prayer-come to
the House of God, worship. Him,

life and gain strength and courage for
