Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Rev. J.
Sterling Moore, PASTORAL depart
ments of the Sunday School were
well attended last Sunday. Rev.
John H. Matthews, Interdenomina-
tional Sunday School worker, was an
interested visitor and delivered a
brief address on the work in gen
eral.
The many worshippers attendant
upon the morning service listened
to splendid sermon by Rev. T.
+. Jones, former pastor of First
A. NJ. +. Church. AS Sunday was
the last day he would preach in Sc
attic, the pastor had invited Rev
Jones to speak to his congregation
at the morning service. Selecting
as his text, Zechariah As, he said
in part: Perhaps we have been
overanxious about some things in
the church. We sometimes feel
that the church isn't measuring up
to our expectations. Sometimes the
question is asked, as the church
failing am glad to say this
morning that the church is not fail
ing. The church is succeeding and
succeeding most admirably. for God
is working through the church, and
as long as God works through the
church, there can be no failure"
The B. Y. p. U. enjoyed profit
able hour in the discussion of the
topic. The meetings are growing
I'm interest, and all are invited to
attend at GAS every Sunday eve
ming.
Rev. VIM. Hammond was the
speaker at the eight o'clock service
Basing his remarks on Acts 8: SS-
80, he chose as his subject, The
Impossibility of OverthFowing Gods
Work" At the close of the sermon,
Mrs. Mary Kowser united with the
church.
Sunday, October 16, is the Pew
Rally. Captains Chandler, Anderson,
Mcdonald and Jones are rallying
their forces. Come out and sup
port your pew leader and help make
this rally a success. The slogan Is
EVERY member In his pew"

Christianity

Christianity is universal. Other
religions are confined to. certain
peoples and geographical areas. but
Christianity has found acceptance
wherever 1t has gone. 1t is the only
religion of its kind in the world.
Christianity breaches a Kingdom of
God, or supremacy Of Gods will in
human hearts and human. affairs,
which is nothing less than CON-
plete reconstruction of society on
the two great bases of love to God
and love to man. Christianity Is the
grand civilizing agency of the world.
We get some idea of this when we
study the history of Christian mis-
sions. Missionary effort has result
ed in the spread Of education, the
checking of social evils, the creation
of trade and industry, the change
In the status of women, and the adj
vance I'm social and civilized life.
Christianity is the worlds hope. It's
founder taught that God is the Fa-
Their Of all men, that all men are
brothers, and that our chief work
upon earth is to establish the reign
of justice, peace, and good will. AS
we fulfill his teachings. ignorance,
prejudice and hatred will vanish,
and the Prince of Peace will come
in power and glory.

books of particular interest. Gifted
with an easy literary style, he largely
occupied himself after his retirement
from the British foreign service in
the production of a series of imaginary
sequels to works by great authors.
Three of these, "The Gay Dombeys," !"
Mrs. Warren's Daughter" and 1.-THE
Veneerings." carried forward tales of
Dickens and Shaw in fascinating
manner. But his concern was chiefly
in the spread of clearer information on
the part of the British people regard
ing Africa, and he wrote voluminously
on such subjects as his experiences
had qualified him TO deal with effec-
lively.
Such men as Sir Harry Johnston
have carried the British flag into re-
mote regions, and have kept it there
against difficulties and hardships.
Johnston himself entered into the life
of the peoples of Africa with whom
he came in contact, learned their Ian
guages, studied their dialects. adjust
ed administrative conditions to- their
pecularities and traditions, and while
he ruled upon occasion with rigid
hand, he was nevertheless considerate.
He did much for the sanitation of dis
ease-infected areas and his service in
Africa made for a happier land and
an advance toward civilization.

FLYING From Ship to Shore.

s Clarence Chamberlin, who made the
second of the American cross-Atlantic
flights, has Just succeeded in an eX
pertinent which will perhaps result in
q material saving of time in steam
ship service between American and
European ports. Using a specially
constructed platform on the steamer
Ieviathan, he hoped off this morning
in a plane from that ship when she
was about eight hours out at sea from
New York and landed safely at Cur
tiss Field in about an hour and half.
All the reports indicate perfect
performance. Chamberlin intended to
fv to Teterboro, n. j., in order to test
the mail route. but heavy fog made
It desirable for him to land at Cur
tiss Field instead. This flight fully
demonstrates the feasibility Of taking
off from ship at sea, either going or
scoming. and making land in faster
time than the vessel. In this case
Chamberlin covered the distance In
six and a half hours less than the
steamer had required. She was 120
miles at sea when Chamberin hoped
/. off.
In practice it is expected that the
plane will take off from the moving
ship as she approaches port, although
in this instance the experiment was
tried on a departing ship. The pur-
pose is to enable passengers VINO are
: In a special hurry to reach shore ahead
of the sailing schedule, and also to get
mail ashore more speedily.
!. The Leviathan was equipped with
a launching platform which it was
expected would enable the plane to
take off safely by traversing its en-
tire length. The report shows that
Chamberlin was in the air when ne
had covered about half of the length
of the platform, which shows the fea-
sibility of this form of aerial link be-
. tween a moving ship and the shore.
1t is probable that other ships of the
United States Lines will be at once
equipped with this type of platform
and that airplane auXiliaries VIII be
used on all of them in order to eXpe-
dite the mails. There is no estimate
of the distance that may be covered
by this supplementary mail service,
though a statement has been given
out that it is expected that for mall
purposes the crossing can be reduced
from five to three days.
{ This mornings experiment marks
an important step forward in the prac-
tical use of the airplane and may be
regarded as a direct result OF TINS
Summers transatlantic flying by
Lindbergh, Chamberlin and Byrd.

Expensive Entertainment.

I The steadily increasing expense OF
an evenings entertainment is cited as
one of the strong lures to crime, ac-
cording to the head of large surety
company, 1t now costs from fifty to
one hundred dollars for man to en-
tertain for an evening girl in large
city. and the official points out that
such a sum is far beyond the means
of the average youth. In an endeaVor
to meet competition from other men,
he saws. there is a constant temptation
to overstep the financial budget, which
Inevitable leads into consideration of
ways and means of procuring more
money.
1t is an undoubted fact that a blow
out" for two people nowadays is
an expensive adventure. Flowers.
dinner, theater, supper and dancing
with takes and incidentals included,
will empty the old wallet in short
order, but the answer to the ques'
ton is obvious because no worth
while girl desires to overextend her
escort in the financial way. and after
all that is the only kind of girl to take
out for the evening.

Prince Carol Files a Caveat.

Prince Carol of Rumania, exiled
from his country and banned from the
throne by his own remuneration of
succession rights, is playing clever
game. He denies himself to callers
and inquirers at his villa in Neuilly,
near Paris, but he uses the telephone
to keen himself in evidence. Either
personally or through representative
he has just declared that despite his
remuneration he maintains his hered-
itary rights. Asserting that he has no
intention Of provoking any agitation
in his country, he regards it as his
duty as well as his right to safeguard
and watch over the prosperity Of his
own nation. Should the Rumanian
people appeal to him, he believes it
would be his duty to obey that com
mand"
American politicians know this move
perfectly. Many Il potential candi:

structively rendered his services to

sired he will serve. 1t is regarded, in
deed. as the prescribed mode of an.

A New Traffic Wrinkle.

Denver is trying an experiment in
traffic enforcement. According to a
new policy just laid down, offenders
against the regulations will be told
to ''pray, rather than pay" which
means that they will be warned and
not arrested, and urged to go oftener
to church, where the ministers have
been asked to specialize on traffic
sermons.
And just how long this experiment
will last is a matter of guesswork,
and as one guess is as good as an
other, it might be estimated that about
half a day would be ample to con-
vince the Denver authorities that the
only ones who pray on the streets
today are the pedestrians. 1t is a
serious subject, and levity should not
enter into it, but, nevertheless. the
spectacle Of an intoxicated motorist
who has just had three collisions and
ended up against a telegraph post
being approached by a policeman and
told to pray, rather than slapping him
in Jail, tickles the imagination.
Every one, Of course, should pray,
should go to church often and should
conduct himself as a righteous person,
but it Is difficult to see the connection
between praying and running past a
street car which is discharging pas
sengers. The hard-boiled motorist who
commits major traffic offenses would
understand neither prayers nor ser
mons in regard to his acts. The only
thing he would understand is an ar
bitrary revocation Of permit, to &C
along with a prison sentence. Denver
will have the good wishes Of every
one in it's traffic experiment. but II
Is freely predicted that the reign OF
prayer will be of short duration.

The most common petrifying materials
are silica, carbonate of lime and sui
phide of iron. The most celebrated ex-
amples of fossil forests belonging to
more recent geological periods are
those of Arizona and the Yellow
stone Park. There the wood cells
have been replaced by silica. The
silication was probably accomplished
by hot alkaline waters carrying dis.
