MUSIC AT CHURCHES

Marvin Pharr of Atlanta, Ga, will be in charge of the music to be rendered during the revival service ces at the Avondale Baptist church. com mencing Sunday night. June 3. assist ing Rev. w. M Sentell, the new min ister, who will do the preaching for the services.
 Although only 20 years of age, MT. Pharr is known throughout the south as great gospel singer and leader of church choirs. He is considered q real wonder, a genius in music. At the time of his conversion, four years ago, he was director of Turner's s Novelty orchestra, which at that time furnished the music for the dances and social occasions at the Georgian Terrace hotel, the Capital City club and other exclusive places. and or ganizations of that kind and was re- ceiving a salary of $400 per month. When converted he resigned his place as director of that orchestra and con secrated his talents to the service Of Jesus Christ.
 Some time thereafter he entered Mercer university as ministerial student. and during his second year at Mercer university he had charge of the music of the First Baptist church of Macon. Ga.. and was a mem Der of the Mercer Glee club. He de- clined to continue with the Macon church this year in order that he might give more of his time to evangelistic singing.
 Since his conversion he has con ducted the music for many of the leading churches in the Southern Baptist convention and has been most successful. Only recently repre- tentative of the Keith Vaudeville conn pany. hearing him in one of his meet ings, made him a very flatter1ng H. nancial offer, which was refused.
 The Avondale church feels that they are fortunate in securing the services of MT. Pharr for their meeting. Once the people of the community hear MT. Pharr a crowded house IS assureo at each service.
 The revival services will run through a period of two or three weeks and the public Is invited.

CHICAGO CATHOLICS
 REORGANIZE CHARITY WORK

Widespread comment has been oc- casiontd by church editors in gen eral by the action of Archbishop Mundelein in modernizing the Catho- lie charities of Chicago. The bishop has organized tho Catholic Bureau of Carities for tho purpose of han ding all charity work of the church
 in a modern. scientific way. The or ganization Is designed to cooperate with the Associated Charities tf Chi cago. and in many cases the Catholic organization contributes twenty-five or fifty per cent of the required funds, while the remainder comes from the secular organization.

NOTED CHURCHMAN DENIES
 NEWSPAPER REPORTS

Following the publication in news papers throughout the country of a story In which it was alleged that Dr. Stuart L. Tyson honorary vicar of the Cathedral of St. John the Di- vine, New York City. had wiped out the first five books of the Bible." and regarded the Revelation of St. John as worthless" the Churchman CNew York) characterized the report as "one of the most vicious pieces of newspaper misrepresentation that mas come to our notice" Dr. Tyson himself has issued a denial of the report, and says that the whole story was concocted by a reporter who was in no way equipped for the task assigned him." The vicar further says that this sort of Journalism is out rageous and that some means should be round whereby 1t can be pre- vented" The Churchman thinks that no real improvement in the report Of religious meetings can be hoped Tor 50 long as managing editors hold to their present estimates of the value of so-called religious news and the fact that such a man is sent to write a story in a highly specialized field indicates how lIttl, value many newspaper men attach to news Of this kind" The same journal points out that the Episcopal church has suffered acutely during the past rev months because of misrepresen- tation on the part of certain New York newspaper writers. The editor reIates that only a short time ago religious" reporter of ono of the big dailies said in regard to clergy men: W ell, they know that they had better be careful they know that we must have them In our DOW CT. But this editor feels that the ciersy shculd not escape their blame Tor inaccurate reporting in the re- iigious field. and says that the sus. Pleion With which the minister's re- gard al reporters Is well known Tn the newspaper offices. It Is suggest ed that the recognition of an ethi- cal code and a policy of co-operatior would do much to correct newspa- per erors of things religious.

SAFETY CODE FOR CHILDREN

A prize essay with which Theo-
dora Poole, 13-year-old school girl
of Pontiac, Mich, won a free trip
to Washington, ID. &C. and a gold
watch in the national highway safe
ty contest.
In a game each person has his
part to play. Let us think of the
task of making nation safe as a
game in which each has his place
to fill and his bit to do.
One might suppose we children
have very little to do with the
safety of our nation, but we are the
coming generation and in our time
shall uphold better and safer high
ways.
AS in a game, there are rules to
follow. These things we must do:
Always observe traffic before
crossing street. When walking
on road keep to the left to meet
on-coming vehicles.
Learn automobile signals to know
what a motorist means to do:
When alighting from a street car
stand until sure of a safe way to
the curb.
Help those in need.
Keep close to the curb when rid
ing bicycle, and give correct sig
mails when turning.
Thus we shall spread our safety
interest and information.
Now come the things we must not
do, rules just as important if we are
to play the safety game.
Don't hurry! Most accidents are
| oorcaJ hxy tho IaCira to Saua fau
seconds.
Never play in the streets MOI
dash before moving vehicles.
Never Jay-walk.
| Never steal rides.
Never make a blind dash acros:
a thoroughfare.
Never stand IL the street while
waiting for car-you are safer
on the curb. One cannot Away:
stand on his rights.
A child's part in this safety Game
is to keep from being tagged" BY
an automobile. In the many auto
mobile accidents in which the driver
is blameless, pitiful large number
of children are victims. -
| There are always drivers who
consider that responsibility cease.
with the footing of the horn. Since
we stand less firmly than a tele
phone pole we had better be out OF
their way.
Our code is a Code of Honor
Nobody can make us play fair Oul
schools foster athletics to encour
age clean effort. More important
than athletics is the game in which
we save the sorrow of accidents anc
loss of life If / could feel that by
| joining this Safety Team / haC
saved the life of one little child,
would consider my effort better
spent than if l had won the highest
honors in athletics.
These things children can do. Il
is because of the splendid foresight
of our elders that we are having
these things laid before us while we
are of an age when it is easy tc
learn. Much time, money anc
thought are being spent to teach u:
safer ways. And if we become
men and women who think safety
and act sanely we shall have ma
ton of happier and safer people.

THE YOUNGSTOWN FLOOD AND
SOCIALISM.

1t is recalled of the Johnstown
flood, which some years ago wiped
out Pennsylvania city almost in
twinkling of an eye, that children
attending a picnic near by uncon-
scious of the danger were amusing
themselves, using the stream trick
ling from crevice in the dam i'm
pounding the water, to make mud
pies"
A civil engineer passing by OBJ
served the leak in the dam and
turned pale. His trained mind
quickly comprehended the danger.
Mounting a horse he rode the peril
Gus trail through the gorge warning
people to flee for their life. Many
needed the warning and escaped
but hundreds were drowned, for be-
fore he had reached Johnstown some
10 miles away, the dam had broken
and great flood of water was
laundering down the canyon carry
ing everything before it.
There is an analogy between this
incident and the manner in which
socialism is trying to gain a foot
hold In this country. Government
ownership of the banks, of the rail-
roads of public utilities, insurance.
coal mines and oil lands, sponsored
as reforms" by a certain class of
politicians masked behind a party
name so commonized as to allay sus-
piclon and attract support. is
nothing short of unadulterated
socialism.
These exploiters of public cred
ulity proceed on the theory that
like the little children making mud
pies, the people, unconscious of the
danger, will take no notice of what
is really the object of these "re-
form" movements, will not. like the
trained engineer, comprehend the
danger, but will fall blindly into the
trap.
This is a dark-lantern method of
which the public should beware.

Senator Magnus Johnson has
taken cow with him to Washing

says a down country exchange,
providing he leaves his 'bulP at
home" That he did not follow
this good advice is plainly evidenced
when he challenged Secretary of
Agriculture Meredith to a milking
contest when it is a well known fact
that Mrs. Johnson did all the milk
ing while her lord and master was
out on the highways and byways
handling the "bull'' for election.
If Mrs. Johnson will only just make
Magnus live up to his challenge
and do the milking himself we will
bet a million dollars Meredith beats
him. We asked Charley Henke of
Dassel about this and he said ego
to it,. We have the utmost con-
fidence in Charley and also in Mrs.
johnson and are willing to wager
just that, and a few dollars more
of our ready cash, on the result.
