Five per cen of the foreign Ian

Northern Baptists.
Efforts to spread the understanding

acceptance of these ideas and of the
United States as a home and to help
develop the willingness to sacrifice for
Americas ideals are being undertaken
today by government and other agen-
cies. In this big task the Northern
Baptist Convention plans to take an
increased part.
The need of vigorous action along
these lines is perhaps best shown in
the words Of John Reed, Bolshevist
writer and organizer, who in New York
on April Z, 1919, urged the B~oIshevists :
HNouor mind tho old ron 49,. ~
middle age men. And don't pay atten-
ton to the American citizen. Get the
immigrant. Get them at the impress
sionable ages of sixteen to twenty-five.
Get them all. Organize them and teach
them as you organize"
This outspoken advice has stirred
Church and government to renewed ac-
tivity. The former is interested that
this shall be carried out in keeping
with Christian principles. And the
New World Movement of Northern
Baptists plans to train workers, both
lay and clerical, for work with certain
races, as well as to train the rank and
file of church members to a better I'M
d~erstanding of the foreign born" Men

In and out among the hundreds Of
small islands in the Sea of Japan a lit
tie white ship threads its way on a new
er ending cruise of Christianity. 1t is
the Church of the Fukuin Maru, and it
carries the gospel message to thou
sands who could not be reached in any
other way.
The ship, like the itinerant preacher
and the circuit rider of the old days,
makes port in lonely out of the way
places. 1t dispenses a hospitality that
might we'll be envied by American
churches with better advantages. Ma
tives flock to neal the messages deliv-
cred on its deck.
The Fukuin Maru is the only floating
Baptist church in the world, and it is
regarded by members of that denomi-
nation as one of the most unique eff
forts of the Christian missionary move
ment. For years it was commanded by
Captain Luke Bickel, who recently
died, and now the Northern Baptists
are endeavoring to find a captain
preacher who will take his place.
There are 33 churches of the Baptist
faith in Japan, with a total member

Mr. e Buys Cosy
Cottage

One Of the latest properties to change
hands is that at i34 East Wildwood
avenue, Familiarity known as the Cosy
Cottage. 1t was built about thirty
years ago. for Frank G. Probasco, of
Bridgeton, by the contracting firm of
Washburn and Van Horn. The sale
of this cottage calls for special mention,
because 1t is one OF the landmarks of
Wildwood avenue. Some years ago,
Robert Hammond acquired possession
of it and it was from him that the title
was transferred recently to Walter M.
Beers, for a consideration said to have
been SIS, 500. It's central location, and
the novelty of its style of architecture,
made it look like a good proposition.
1t is intimated that the new owner in
tends TO raise and remodel this cottage.
If that be done it may prove to be a
paying investment, and continue to be
a landmark for many more years to
come. One year after the Cosy Cottage
was built, Washburn aud VanHorn
built Kings Vile, adjoining On the
East, for Benz. F. Ladd, a Vineland
publisher and banker.
Media Villa, 12O East Schellenger
avenue, formerly owned by Mrs. Jennie
P. Jones, of Media, Pa, has been sold
to Paul Steffanowski Of Phila. The
sale Of both the Media Villa and of the
Cosy Cottage were negotiated by George
M. Dare, Real Estate Broker.
Mr.. Dare also reports the sale of the
15-room cottage at 819 East 18th street,
North Wildwood, to Mrs. Thelma
Anderson of Phila. DR.. Fleming and
his wife, Sue R. Fleming are mentioned
as the former owners. 1t is rumored
that this cottage may be converted in
to a sanitarium. The location, for such
a purpose, is idesl-could not be better.
The following sales were also effected:
The property at corner 18th and Penna.
avenues, North Wildwood, owned by
Samuel Attack, to Edward Hertel, a
retired business man of Olney, and
corner 23d aud New York avenues, to
Walter A. O'Shea, a Phila, contractor.
Herbert Brown was the prior owner.

MONKEYS Fondness for Sweets.

The Manchester Guardian tells Of q
cbimpanzee that died recently after
spending the eight years of his life de-
fying all the rules laid down for the
wellbeing of chimpanzees.
His nam was Antony, and he was
the only one of his tribe of monkeys
who has ever managed to stand an
English climate unmitigated by arti-
fetal heat. He came from the Congo In
1911. when he was very young and
small. At that time he weighed four
teen pounds; by last summer he was
tust six times as heavy.
He was owned by DR.. Butter Of
Cannock. During the whole period of
his civilized life he was kept in a
brick building facing southwest and
unheated, and he slept in straw with
out blankets. He had an exercising
pen containing swings and perches,
which he made earnest and often sue
cessful efforts not to break. Chocolates
and sweets-poison to ordinary china
panzees-were the special treats Ia
Antony's dietary, and he had a less
comprehensive fancy for locust beans.

Simeon W. King, active In Illinois
Republican politics for 70 years and
the last surviving pallbearer who off,
cjated at the funeral services for
Abraham Lincoln held in Chicago, has
declared his intention Of supporting
Governor Frank o. Lowden for presi-
dent.
81 have voted for every Republican
president since Lincoln and 1 expect
to cast my ballot for Lowden next
November" said Mr.. King. g" have
known Frank Lowden for thirty years,
and he is just the type of man the
country needs for president in this
crisis of the country's history. He is
able. honest, progressive, experienced
and efficient. 1 remember when he
first came to Chicago as a poor young
man TO study law. 1 saw him admitted
to the bar and later enter public life
and rise to fame, and I feel proud Of
his great success.
"He has proven the best governor
Illinois has ever had, and we have
had some great executives in the his
tory of the state.
