ST. JAMES NOTES
Rev. w. H. Griffin, Pastor

A large audience greeted our pas
tor Sunday morning to hear the first
sermon to be delivered by HIM since
his vacation trip to the Pacific coast.
We were all glad to have HIM back
and ii seemed good to hear his voice
proclaiming from the rostrum the
sacred truths of God.
The morning sermon was a strong
defense OF the church against the
charge of hypocrisy. which is so fire.
Quently made against the church and
its members. The writer feels sure
that every thoughtful hearer went
forth from the service with greater
faith In the church and less apt to
give credence to the criticisms to
which the church is subjected.
At the evening service Rev. s. B.
Washington OF Iowa City preached a
splendid sermon, subject, 1.-The Mas
ter of the Ages" The attendance
was fair.
The pastor announced that the con-
tract had been awarded for the lay
ing Of the floors in our new church.
Every member of st. James should
feel encouraged at this announce
ment as 1t means that we are ap-
preaching the day when we shall go
into our new church edifice. Let us
rally to the support Of our splendid
leader and his officers.
Mr.. J. r. Lynn had charge of the
Sunday School last Sunday in the alb
sence Of the Superintendent and the
Assistant Superintendent.
The senior choir sang Sunday.
Mrs.. Archer directed the singing in
the absence of DR.. Lewis. The sing
ing was splendid, although the at
tendance was small.
Many out-of-town visitors were
present at both services Sunday. We
were pleased to see them and invite
them to come again.

cert at st. James Sunday evening.

Describes New Movement.
DR.. Cady describes the new move
ment for winning the Negro to the
Catholic faith and stated that the
mission is now fairly on foot and, as
usual with all Catholic movements, is
well organized and financed.
"Dr. Cady declares that the Khan is
not Christianity, but denial of all
that Jesus Christ came to teach. He
afiirms that the Negro has come to a
degree of race pride and race ambi-
ton little understood by the white
man. The whole race is being pow
erfully moved by that which has come
to be one mastering passion-to come
on and up-cutting out anything and
everything which has hitherto entan-
gled and hindered progress.

To give some idea Of the immensely
Of the new station, 1t may be stated
that the main building covers an area
Of about three acres with a concourse
covering 10000 square feet. The en-
tire terminal facilities cover more than
80 acres and will expedite the prompt
and satisfactory handling Of $4,000
passengers, 400 tons of baggage and
300 trains daily with room for future
expansion. Fifteen acres of glass
were used In the various coverings
over the train sheds, which extend
more than 1000 feet beyond the main
structure. A total Of 1900 tons of
structural steel, 175,OOO cubic feet of
Indiana limestone and 10000 cubic
feet OF granite were used In the sta
tion building and concourse. The foun-
dation consists Of 449 cylindrical con-
crete piers from four to ten feet In
diameter, reaching to depth of more
than 60 feet below the level Of the
Chicago river.

ST. PAUL BAPTIST NOTES

The people say that st. Paul Bap-
tist Church is coming church.
Our annual Chautauqua was a
great success in every way. Still we
expect the next to be bigger and bet
ter.
Sundays services were largely at
tended. The offering was $2O0.75.
Our Indebtedness is reduced to about
$4OO, which is decreasing weekly.
The church has voted the pastor a
much needed vacation, and he will
depart about the 10th of August.

God makes us great in wisdom, but
in humility greater; in justice strong,

makes the humblest the most exalt-
