ARTHUR BALFOUR'S
ACCEPTANCE OF new
POSITION CONFUSING
fRv Associated Pressl

LONDON, May 4.-Sir Arthur Bal
tours acceptance of elevation to the
House of Lords as the Earl of Balfour
of Whittingehame adds to an already
confused list of British peers.
There was already Lord Balfour
of Burleigh, two Lords Morley = the
Viscount and the Earl-two Lords
Gotham, two Lords Ashton, a Lord
Curzon in both hous - (the Commoner
having the courtesy title of ViscounD
Lord Middleton and Lord Middleton,
Lord Lindsay and Lord Lindsey, Lord
Longford and Lord Langford, Lord
Terrington and Lord Torrington.
Commenting on Sir Arthur's admis-
sion to the House of Lords, the OBJ
server said:
Having entered on the slippery
slope of accepting titles, Sir Arthur
Balfour now finds himself doomed to
the House of Lords, the destiny equal
ly OF success and failure in politics.
1t Is pity we cannot find a way of
distinguishing between those who are
made peers because of their eminent
services and those who have been
made peers because their services
were not eminent. Is there any other
institution in the Empire thus curious
ly recruited from the top and from
the bottom?"

VOCATIONAL DISPLAY
SURPRISES CITIZENS

Many Richmond citizens who OBJ
served the display in the east window
of the Starr Piano company, of voca-
tional work which is being done in
the high school, were surprised at the
kind and quality of the work done.
The work displayed represents the
machine shop, drafting, pattern max
ing and printing departments. Blue
prints OF the various articles are on
display, as well as the finished
products.
In the courses of vocational work at
the high school, boy may either ma
jor in the work for his profession af-
ter graduating out of high school, or
he can take the work as an elective
10 familiariZe himself with the nature
of it. If, after taking the course for
term, he realizes that he would be
fitted for such work, he may then en-
ter into it more intensively and OBJ
tain full benefit from the regular class
instruction.
A boy going on to a university for
technical work in mechanical or cleo
trical engineering courses, would be
vastly benefited from special work in
the vocational work in the high school
in order to familiarize himself with it
and be well learned on the subject.

STAND UP FOR GOD
LIKE FOR FAMILY,
SAYS BILLY SUNDAY

BRADFORD, Ohio, May 4.-"Pd
fight for God like I'd fight for my
wife, Billy Sunday told an audience
of 1900 in the gymnasium of the new
nigh school here Wednesday morning.
Why don't you stand up for God
like you stand up for the other things
or life. like your politics, your fam
ilyE he demanded. You wouldn't let
man say things about your wife
that you say about God"
AS the automobile bringing Mr. Sun
day reached Bradford, they were met
by the American Legion band, and
several automobile loads of citizens.
Posted on the corner as the party
reached town were placards, Billy
Sunday-Bradford welcomes you," and
Billy Sunday-We are back of you"
Preaching on the twenty-third psalm
Mr.. Sunday declared that a life of
sin was a liability.
Stand up and show me time when
the devil ever helped a man." he chal-
fenged. THE man who works in sin
is going against Gods plan, and he
cannot expect good
Is Gods Plan
Doing good is as much Gods plan
as blowing in spring for summer crops
is Gods plan"
Referring to the gymnasium in
which he was speaking, Mr.. Sunday
said, You need this place for exer-
else for your body But how many of
you take the spiritual exercise that
keeps you fit? Why, if some of you
never exercised your body more than
you do your spiritual life, you would
be as dried up and weakened as a
mummy"
Using as an illustration the story of
his son George, who was afraid to go
down into the dark cellar alone but
who was not afraid when his daddy
went along, Sunday declared that was
the meaning of the phrase YEA,
though / walk through the valley of
the shadow of death, I shall fear no
evil"
When your Father in Heaven is
with you, you have nothing to fear of
the dark places"
Take Up Collection
Before the sermon, collection was
taken for the benefit of the Bible
school which Mr.. Sunday sponsors at
Winona Lake
Mr.. Sunday would not take any
thing for coming here" it was an
nounced, but we insisted on taking
up collection anyway, and they said
We could use it for that"
The collection when taken was
dumped uncounted into a sack and
placed in Mr.. Sundays grip.
After the sermon Mr.. Sunday in
spected the famous Bradford railroad
Y. NJ. c. A., of which J. E. Paul is sec
rotary.
It's wonderful thing for the men,"
Mr.. Sunday said after his inspection.
The retur ntrip was made by train,
In order to make the fastest time back
to Richmond, so that Mr.. Sunday could
get good rest before his afternoon
sermon at the tabernacle.
Saturday, Mr.. Sunday will speak at
Greenville
