There are nineteen national parks,

tional monuments. such US the petrl-

Jurisdiction OF the secretaries Of the
interior, agriculture and war. For
many years the Hot Springs reserva-
ton OF Arkansas was the only national
park. In 1892 an area Of ~ square
miles on which are 40 hot springs pos
sessing curative properties was set
aside as national park. 1t was not

Fourth Infidelity. They

attack upon the infallible Word

undermining the faith of the
young and unsophisticated
saints and are sending thous-
ands adrift into skepticism and
sin. Such men are parasites.
They are drawing salaries
fraudulently because they con-
tracted to preach the infallible
Word of God and the vicariouS
atonement of Jesus Christ.
They are preaching something
else. Therefore, such conduct is
dishonest. Such men are large
" responsible for the rise of the
infamous cults and the spread
of irreverence, frivolity. impro-
pliety, domestic infidelity. reli-
gious infdelity, apostacy. and
general social criminality.
If the preachers were preach

deeds, the crime wave of this

BY
Rev. MA. MATTHEWS
ID. ILL. D.


The Christian pulpit is the
highest place on earth. 1t is
the only untrammeled, unpur-
chasable throne in the world.
The preacher. if he be a real
preacher, is God-called. God-fll-
ed. divinely fitted, and super
naturally commissioned. His
authority and message are OF
supernatural origin. Therefore.
he is decreed to be Il leader. If
he meets these divine require
ments he is an expert in his eX-
allied position. When ever a
minister of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ and His vical'ious death
steps out of this exalted place
and fails to perform his duty as
a courageous leader and fearless
defender of the faith delivered
once for all to the saints. he be-
comes guilty and must be held
responsible for all the ills that
result from his failure.
There are ministers who
have. no doubt, stepped from
this high responsible place and
they are therefore guilty of all
the evils of the country that
have come as direct result of
their actions. Such ministers
are chargeable with the follow
ing defects:
First: Laziness. They do
not work. not even half time.
their sermons show it. Their
fences are down. Their
churches are unorganiZed.
They do not take any part in
the civic life of their communi-
ties.
Second /: They are towards.
They are afraid to speak plain
ly. pointedly. and persistently
against the sins of their mem
bers. They are far from being
like John the Baptist. They do
not demand respect and atten-
ton from men because they do
not meet men and challenge
them in their evil doings. They
do not stand like brave men
should stand-face to face with
a guilty brother and accuse him.
Third Busy idleness. They
are engaged in attending pink
teas. and foolish female func-

War On Mosquitoes
Being Waged Now

Mosquitoes or the Eastern Shore
have been paid visit by DR. Francis
VI. Root, associate in medical ento-
moogy in the Johns Hopkins School
of Hygiene and Public Health, and
DR.. John Collinson, Jr, of the bureau
Of communicable diseases of the State
Health Department.
Following the epidemic of malaria
last summer. the first for Is years,
plans were made by DR.. John S. Full
ton. State health officer, for a cam
paign Of determination against this
insect, which is blamed for the spread
Of the fever. II is the hope of DR..
Root and DR.. Colinson. who left
Baltimore for the Eastern Shore, to
determine how best TO go about it,
The idea. DR.. Root explained, is to
catch the mosquito before he acquires
the elusive quality of the full-hedged
insect and center the attack upon him
while he is in this early stage Of de-
velopmcnt. Oil is the weapon en-
ployed most commonly, Dr. Root said,
q light film Of it being placed on the
surface Of the water If the larval
period i, determined. he pointed out,
anti-mosquito operations which now
are spread over four on five months
of the year can be concentrated in a
single month after the female lays
her eggs. The anopheles mosquito
now is found. he said, in a belt ex-
tending from Delaware to Florida.
DR.. Root expects to carry on work
in entomology on the Eastern Shore
this summer, and may give more at
tention to the mosquito problem at
that time. The present trip was to
points in Dorchester and Wicomico
Counties this week.
