REV. JOHN COMPTON BALL
BACK FROM VACATION

The Rev. John Compton Ball, pas
tor of the Metropolitan Baptist
Church, and Mrs. Ball have returned
from a two months vacation spent
in the Pocono mountains, Pennsyl-
Vania.
Tomorrow the church will observe
the twentieth anniversary of the
Rev. Mr.. Balls pastorate. Special
music will be given by the choir un-
der the leadership of G. A Clark and
appropriate sermons with the recep-
ton of new members will mark the
celebration.
During the pastorate of the Rev.
Mr.. Ball the Metropolitan Baptist
Church has grown from a member
ship of 1862 to 1901 and finances nave
multiplied four times. In 1911, eight
years after he accepted the pastorate,
the present handsome and well
equipped building was erected.
At the time the new building was
erected the church believed that it
would be ample to care for its need.
However, last June, more room was
needed and the church purchased an
adjoining lot of 5000 square feet.
Plans are under consideration now
to convert the lot into an annex to
the Bible school.

WEST VA. HOME
L|STENS|NON
DC. SERMON

To every question there is always
two sides. Some ministers vote
against the radio and some vote for
1t. Some want their sermons and
church services broadcast and others
don't. Those Of the latter class say
that II the church services are taken
into the homes, those in the homes
won't come to church.
Church services over the radio are
not for those who can go to church,
but for the many who cannot go.
There are "shut-ins," there are the
many mothers who get their chill
dren off to Sunday school, who must
stay at home.
Then, too, there are the rural dis
tricts, some far from a church. AL
ways there 10 someone who has to
stay at home.
Is it wise to wish to deny those
the spiritual food carried over the
radio. In the back hills Of West
Virginia in one Of the farm houses
miles from a church family listens
in on a Washington church service.
Lets not be selfish in regard TO
the RADIO" say it's friends. How
more wonderful it is to tell your
message to the Upturned faces gath
cred inside the church. but also to
those less fortunate. Awho, for some
reason, cannot gather there, but who
are nevertheless DESTROYS Of cleaning

ST. LOUIS, Sept. S.-Air laurels
now proudly held by the army will
belong to Uncle Sans navy If de-
termination and preparation count
in the international air races to be
held here October 1, and 3.
Outclassed and defeated at every

navy many months ago began plan
ming for the st. Louis races with
the sole aim in view Of retrieving
its standing in the air. and remov-

records.
Other Records Made.
The army. through it's showing at
Detroit and during the past year,
now holds the worlds speed, non.

ords and rightly can lay claim to
being the aerial master.
Both first and second places in
the Pulitzer Trophy Race, regarded
as the worlds air classic, went to
the army in the Detroit competi.
ton. Then came Brigadier- General
William Mitchell and Lieut.. Russell
Vaughan, the one to win and the
other to raise the worlds speed rec.

In the famous nonstop trane-

Ready and Kelly, who also rep.
resent the army, won new high
honors for the khaki. Maughan'a
unsuccessful attempt to make day

noble, although 1t failed in its set
purpose.

Of the Bureau of Aeronautics of
the Navy, with the cordial co-opera-
ton of Secretary DENLY, began
planning some time ago for the st.
Louis races to have the withered
colors Of the navy blue fly proudly
in the air.
Two new racing planes of the
latest and most powerful type and
expected to develop a speed Of ESQ
miles an hour or better were ordered
from the Curtiss Company. These
ships and two others, whose de-
scriptions have not been made pub.
lie, will represent the Navy in the
Pulitzer Trophy race on Wednesday,
October 3.
An Aero Congress and Air Insti-
tute, in which scientific questions
connected with the development of
aeronautics will be discussed, an
