it is sad to see him stink around the
town on furtive feet. He has fright

him enjoyed; he lodges here, he
lodges there. the merchant princes
to avoid Perchance he is a gifted
scout. the fire of genius in his glim,
but he has worn his credit out, and
there's no welcome sign for him. No
smile Of greeting warns his heart as
he goes shuffling down the street, but
people say. in shop and mart, There
goes Jim Jinx, the blamed old beat
His children suffer for his sins, when
to the schoolhouse they repair scorn-
ed by the grocer's stall fed twins, and
by the village butchers heir. His
wife has met cold rebuff in nearly
every store in town. when she would
buy on tick some stuff to make her
self a humble gown. So he and his,
without the pale, dishonored go their
futile way, because he doesn't bring
the kale to pay his bills on settling
day. And it is strange that any man
will such a state of things endure.
and De the village also ran. when
there is such simple cure. Let him
but show a wise desire to pay his
creditors their mon. and nothing more
will require to gain a footing in the

Increased Benevolences

In marked contradiction of allegations that
churches are retrograding and losing their hold
on their MEMBERS is the remarkable increase in
the benevolences of nearly all the denominations.
Reports made by various Friends committees
here this week show that contributions for mis-
sion, educational relief and promotion work are
far in excess of any previous record of the
church Increased opportunities of doing good
have been met with greater contributions to
carry out the enterprises.
The reports of the Richmond district of the
Methodist church a few days ago revealed the
same condition Instead of dropping back, men,
bers of the denomination have increased their
gifts of love and charity.
Three Lutheran churches of the city recently
gave big offerings for educational institution
at Springfield, Ohio; two other congregations of
that denomination here raised substantial sum
of money for their educational institutions and
the endowment Of the Werne Orphans Home in
this city.
Undoubtedly the two Catholic churches and
the congregations of the other denominations
have kept pace with the other religious bodies Of
the city in increasing their contributions for the
causes of their respective organizations.
The churches have not been tagging and
backward in the postwar period, but perhaps
have entered upon era of progress, in
which they are signalling their faith by gifts Of
generous proportion.

reports that have emanated from overseas. De-
luded persons who believed that communism and
bolshevism would end all their woes and estab-
lsh paradise on earth have profited from the
tragic experience of the Russian people.
Committees appointed by the Italian workers
to investigate the operation of the soviet regime
in Russia have returned with pessimistic reports
of conditions in that country. Faith in the
efficacy of established government to protect life
and property is gradually overcoming bolshevist
tendencies, and the prospect of long revolutions
and communistic control, Mr. Foulke believes, is
only remote contingency.
With the reparations question out of the way,
the allied governments can devote their attention
to the solution of internal questions and evolve
solutions for some of the problems that have

Germany has agreed to pay the 1000, 900, 900
gold marks by June l. to disarm military and air
forces, to pay the Is per cent due on German
exports, and to carry out without quibbling or
opposition all the obligations of the Versailles
