bilious he would have baked 1t the last paragraph, but one, of the letter, relating to the vacation season. He could hardly have failed to suspect that he was really being asked to contribute to the vacation expenses of Registrar" Altman
 But he replied to the generous of- fer of the registrar as follows:
 Phoenix. Arizona
 July 27. 1921. Edw E. Altman, Registrar.
 Centennial State University,
 Denver, Colo.
 Dear Sir:
 I am in receipt of your favor of the 21st informing me that your in stitution had voted to confer on me the degree of Doctor of Divinity upon my complying with the provisions of your Charter. In reply will say that I certainly appreciate the honor thus conferred, and I take this opportunity to extend to all concerned in this action my hearty thanks However. feel that l must decline the honor I have spent 26 years in the mission fields of Kansas and Nebraska in the service of the church But never desired any honorary degrees I am not now in the pastoral work And l do not feel justified investing even the small amount of s25 in securing degree to which I do not feel entitled. and cannot see how it would in any way benefit the cause of Christ for me to have it. l am actively engaged in Christian work but am earning my own living as assistant probation officer of this, | Maricopa, county. I like the work and will likely remain with it for l some time Tberefore I feel that must with thanks decline your gem erous offer.
 l Yours truly,

RAIN INTERRUPTS
 JUBILEE 1T PARK

Rain cut in half the Colored Folk Jubilee Festival which was holding the rapf attention of more than 2,000 people at Eastlake park last night until the first drops splattered on the outdoor assemblage The jubilee was given for the benefit of colored boys and girls at Camps Normal Industrial institute at Camps, Texas.
 Religious chants which were sung by the darkies of the old South be- fore the Civil war found favor with lated with melodies which never grow old. Of special interest was the dramatic presentation of "Old Black Joe' by J. E. Boyd and chorus.
 With a picturesque touch of red flannel about the neck and shakingly holding cane, the leading singer in this presentation slowly chanted the familiar words-'Tm coming, I'm coming, and my head is hanging low.-
 The mere spectator who did not respond to the simple religious sen timent expressed in the severa chants looked on with astonishmen' at the expression of fervid entreatA registered on the face of every singer Nothing was left to the imagination
 One could almost picture a lior with immovabfe jaws as the singers chanted: ''Who was 1t locked tn, lions jaws?" and pointed significant, to their own. There was vigorous all round shaking of hands as 'I'n Going To Tell My Jesus Howdy' was sung.
 "Suanee River" as sung by Mrs J. E. Boyd. proved to be vocal treat She also won favor with her rendi tiOu of "Deen River"
 Rain not only interfered with tn program, but it seriously handicappe. those in charge of the Jubilee il making he collection for the chari table fund.

SENATOR CAMERON 1. GOT QUICK RESULTS
 FOR THIS SOLDIER

The following communication re- ceived by the Republican yesterday speaks for itself: 1
 "A testimonial of thanks and ap- preciation rendered to the Hon. Ralph H. Cameron of Arizona from Amer jean disabled veterans not residents of Arizona who through the good and kind efforts of the honorable sen ator has made it possible for many veterans to obtain quick medical at tention, compensation and vocational training.
 I have been authorized to speak for few veterans, and in this will cite my own case as an example of the great interest and attention that was shown me by your good senator from Arizona.
 I was disabled while serving my country and was discharged and dis abilitated at home in September. 1918, unable to work and no way to make a living, as I was a physical wreck | and during the past three years tried | to get action from he government, and had appealed to a number of peo- | pie to try to help me out and they could not Then I was advised as l final effort to appeal to the Hon. Senator Ralph H. Cameron of your state, which I did. after waiting for ! three years before to get medical at | tention and compensation and voca- | tional training, the honorable sen ator made it possible for me to re- ceive all in the very quick time of | two months. During those three years of misery from sickness, near hun ger and no money, living Nrom hand to mouth, just had to let the people l of Arizona know through the press l what wonderful work this good man has accomplished for me and other disabled veterans and may I tender | thanks to the people of Arizona for l having a man in the senate who is so thoughtful and considerate of all | the veterans I don't hesitate to say | that in the hearts of numerous dis ! abled veterans that the Hon. Ralph H. Cameron is one of the foremost senators today in the senate, as his
 quick work in behalf of the veterans prove it.
 Hoping that this letter may be giv-
 en wide publicity by all the press of
 Arizona, so that the citizens will real
 ly know that you have a true rep
 resentative of your state and we say
 he has been tried and is not want
 ing; always willing and waiting to
 assist anyone; a credit is what Hon Ralph H. Cameron is to Arizona. The
 United States could use a few more
 Camerons I remain,
 Yours sincerely,

CHRISTIAN BUSINESS TOPIC
 AT Y. NJ. c. A. MEMS RALLY

The rally at the Y. M. c. A. Sunday afternoon was helpful and interesting, and the group of men present participat- ed freely in the discussion on the topic A Man hnd His Business. Among the thoughts drought out were the following That a man should be sure that his busi- ness or jojb is an honorable one that he should ntt enter line of work or abusi- ness that he knows nothing about but he should be prepared for his work it is unwise to enter what might be called a
 boom" business. The best way for a man to secure advancement is to be faithful in every detail of his duty. In order to be faithful in the highest sense man must not only put his money or his time into his job but he must also put himself and all theer is of him into it. The manner of dealing is more inn portant than the thing dealt in, from a Christian viewpoint
 The fundamental basis of all business is service, whether a man is an employer or an employe. A business man is not doing well rounded business unless he gives his customer something more thar the article for which the customer pays he owes the customer friendship and en | couragement. Jesus came into the world | to serve and not to be served if He wert in business today he would plan for tht development of the character. of his GUS | toners more than for the profits he migh l make, though a man is justified in plan ming for a reasonable profit in his busi ness. Jesus put small value on none, as compared with the value of som other things. He urged us not to lay Ill l treasure on the earth, but by unselfsl
 service lay up riches in heaven. Jesu l placed the correct value on a man whel
 he asked the pointed question "Wha shall it prof man if he gain the who'll
 world and lose his own soul?" and be i cause he knew the value of the individ
 uaI he was willing to sacrifice everythini
 he had, even life itself. that men migh
 be saved. The more thoroughly busi ness man knows the value of the indi
 vidual the more fully will he enter int
 the purpose has for him in business life l After the discussion, a social periot
 was enjoyed, during which refreshment were served.
 Another such meeting will be held mex l Sunday.
