Educational Exhibit.
For the benefit of 255 colored min
isters from Virginia, North Carolina
and neighboring states, and for lis
visiting farmers, an educational ex-
hibit of posters, containing slogans
and pictures, new and helpful books
on church work, especially church
work in rural parishes, and stereomo-
views of rural churches and
rural health, was placed on display
in the main room, of the Y. NJ. c. A.
building at Hampton Institute This
exhibit was thrown open to the public
and was visited by large number of
men and women in search of knowl-
edge and inspiration.
A few of the slogans win indicate |
the live-wire method which was used |
to call attention to some serious rural |
life problems: "The peril of the coun- |
try today is not the uprising of the
Sinners but the downsitting of the
saints" %You can live anywhere
and be preacher but to be pas
tor you must live with your people"
There is an old saying to the effect
hat God made the country In view
'f the present religious conditions
here, it is time to win it back to its
maker"

nations of the world upon terms of
better understanding cannot be over
estimated. No one will dispute the
theory that among nations that play
the same games there will be friend
lier feelings than among peoples
whose sports are peculiarly national.
For among the first group is bond
of sporting interest which makes for
mutual respect and a rivalry which
works to take the edge off ethno-
logical differences and commercial
jealousy.
The foregoing philosophy is born of
the fact that the nations now inter
ested in the Davis cup tennis match

Japan is likely to be represented by
two players who have done lot OF
their playing in this country, and are
thus familiar to American tennis fol-
lowers. namely. Ichiya kumagae and
Selichiro Kashio. The third member of
Japan's challenging trio will probably
be SenZo Shimidzu, who developed his
game in contest with British players
in India. Shimidzu got into the finals
at the Wimbledon championships last
year, and will be a formidable men,

TIlden Would Play Through.
In announcing his intention of de-
Tending his British title at Wimble-
don this summer. Bill Tilden says he
is going to ask the British authorities
to permit him to play through the
tourney instead of waiting to meet
the man who wins the right to COM
pete with the champion for his title.
This idea is now carried out in the
American championships and has
given the greatest satisfaction. But
the British. loath to make changes,
will presumably not agree to Tildens
sportsmanlike proposition.
But Tilden says it is not so much
through any ideal of sportsmanship
that he has made his proposal as be-
cause of his belief that the champion
who plays through is much better
prepared to hold his title than one
who has no real competition in the
week of the tournament, in which he
is quite right.
