FLANDORF WILL
GIVE ORGAN RECITAL

GIVE ORGAN RECITAL
On Wednesday night, Oct. II, at
the Meridian Street M. E. Church,
Walter Flandorf, organiSt, will be
heard in recital under the auspices
of the Emmaus Walther League.
Flandorf has adopted the follow
ing policy regarding his organ pro-
grams:
Every fine musician, when he reaches
certain pinnacle of accomplishment upon
some instrument. 1nds that his own taste
is for the most technically difficult COM
positions He begins to be a little bored
with the pieces which are very easy for
him 10 play and understand. Such a
reaction is only natural. And perhaps It
is more pronounced among organists than
any other musicians. because they have the
widest scope of technical possibilities on
their instruments of any musical vehicles
so far produced by men, The result of
their inclinations for difficult and obtuse
compositions. is that organ recitals are
considered too heavy for the average au-
dience.
I, Walter Flandorf. have tried to curb
this tendency in myself. when 1 have
prepared my organ programs. Many or
gansists find fault with me for including
too many numbers with popular appeal
But. I may truthfully say that have
never by doing this lowered the standard
OF the music which play. I only try tc
choose first-class music which by a certain
intrinsic something can easily win the
hearts of its hearers. whether they be
proficient musicians, or merely music
loving men and women with ability along
other lines. The enjoyment. which /,
expressed by my audiences. feel more
than justifes my action. After all a re.
sponsiye listener is just as important a
person at concert, as is not per.

ligion in their effort to stir up oppo-
sition to Paul.
So instead OF saying 1--WE are like
Iy to lose money" they raised the
cry, Great is Diana of the Ephe-
slams" The ruse was as successful
as it is even in modern days and
serious trouble was stirred up for
Paul and his companions.
Town Clerks Part
Fortunately, however, Ephesus
possessed a town clerk, who had
good Judgment. He reminded his
fellow citizens that the Roman
authorities might not be so deeply
concerned about Diana, and that
they might be called on to give an
account of their unlawful uproar.
He pointed out that if Demetrius
and his fellowmen had any legal
case against Paul they might have
recourse to the courts, and with
other calm and judicious words he
quoted the tumult.
1t was notable triumph for toll
erance, good judgment and COM
mon sense and was incidentally a
vindication of Paul. However, it
may be that the town clerks toll
erance only increased the intoler-
ance of others, as we find Paul
almost Immediately making his
plans to leave EphesuS and go to
Macedonia.
This period of Pauls ministry at
EphesuS was a very important one,
as may be seen from the epistle adj
dressed later to this church.
Though not large in volume it is
among the greatest of all religious
documents and it enters more deeply
into the nature and meaning Of
Christian fellowship in the church
than anything else that Paul wrote.

The lesson-sermon also includes
the following passages from the
Christian Science textbook, Sci

Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy:
who that hath felt the loss of hui
man peace has not gained stronger
desires for spiritual joy? The as
piration after heavenly good comes
even before we discover what be-
longs to wisdom and love. The
loss OF earthly hopes and pleasures
brightens the ascending path Of

quickly inform us that the pleas

BY VIM. E. GILROY, ID. d.
Editor of The ConKreRationalist

IRON Corinth, after his extended
II visit, Paul came to Ephesus. The
growth of the Christian fellowship
from it's early beginning in Europe,
or the extent to which the early
Christians were travellers Journey
ing about from place to place, is
evidenced in the fact that Paul
found certain disciples here at
Ephesus.
1t would be interesting If we
knew just where those disciples had
come from, or, if they had formerly
been residents of Ephesus, through
whose agency they had received the
Gospel Our Book of the Acts is
taken up very largely with the work
Of Paul and his associates, but here
and there we find references that
indicate how much we lack OF the
total story of the beginning and
growth of Christianity.
PauI's Standpoint
From Pau1's standpoint, however,
these Christians at Ephesus had not
a very comprehensive conception OF
Christianity. They had been bap-
tized either by John the Baptist or
by those who were associated with
the forerunner of Christ. When
Paul asked them where they had
received the Holy Spirit, since be-
lieving. their reply was that they
had not so much as heard about
the Holy Spirit. So Paul baptized
them in the name Of Christ.
Here at Ephesus Paul. for about

Five Children Die In
Fire On Plantation

HOMER, La. = A grim tragedy
occurred Tuesday night in the hum
bic log cabin home of a colored ten
ant farmer on a plantation near this
town when the lives of his five chill
dren were lost in a fire.
: Jesse Howard and his wife Clara,
parents of the children locked them
in the cabin upon leaving to visit a
neighbor's home half a mile away.
While they were chatting with their
neighbofs they heard the shrieking
of an automobile horn end on looking
out observed flames and smoke shoot
ing up in the air from their home
in the distance. A passing motorist
who observed the house afire sound
ed the warning.
The Howards drove their mule
team and wagon to the scene of the
fire as fast as they could but the
buring cabin collapsed before they
reached it. Their children were lost
in the flames. Only their charred
bones were recovered. The children
ranged in ages between and 13
years.

Baltimore Cab Co. Broke Year Ago
Now Pays $4,000 For Supplies

at the office or on the streets, the
company has averaged as high as 500
trips daily.
The men are paid on a percentage
basis, receiving 25 cents on the dol
lar. Earnings average about $25
weekly, tipps often adding one-fourth
to this amount.
In explaining his outlook upon life,
Mr.. Turner says that his only am
bition is to give someone employment
and, turn as much of the income back
into the race. He has his repair work
done by race concern and has pur-
chased his gas and supplies through
a race agent.
The comparative success of his
firm he attributes to the fact that he
urges his employees to consider ser
ice, and not familiarity, the first duty
toward customers. When the drivers
attempt to make themselves the
guests of their patrons there is no
way to demand their respect or pat
ronage, he believes.

Enterprise News Bureau

PoCAHONTAS, Va, April IL
With wages the lowest since the be-
ginning of the World War and work
days coming a week to ten days
apart, the maintenance of some 50,-
900 white and black miners in the
Pocahontas cold fields and the terri
tory stretching from Bluefield, w.
Va. to the Ohio River is threatened.
In this section. which is controlled
by the Pocahontas Fuel Company of
New York, owners of 23 soft coal
operations, the conditions are acute.
There are 10000 race workers in a
radius of 25 miles.
From the palmy war and after war
days when the lowest paid lahore.
received $5.54 for eight hours lni
work, the poor production bug has
crept in until the earnings of coal
loader fall under this amount for
days work. To crown this low state
of affairs he is fortunate to get that
five or six days in a month.
The coal leaders, who are the only
workers. in the coal fields called
miners, who have had their envelopes
shrink from the time they could
work every day and load 20 to 80
cars week at $1.75 to $500 a car.
Meanwhile the five-ton cars have,
remained the same size and living
costs have been reduced but little.
Track workers, motormen, helpers
and outside workers receive wages
ranging from $3.50 to $4.00 daily.
Handicapped with large families in
most cases, living in homes with few
modern conveniences save electricity,
the situation has reached a crisis.
Only recently have the A. and p. and
other chain groceries invaded .he
fields and forced the coal baron
merchandise sellers to lower their
prices.
The race workers are naturally
hardest hit. At one time enjoyinr
complete control here of the dump
ing tipples, many of the workers are
being substituted with whites, and
the foremanships are placed on a
Novdic basis. With the advent of
new machinery to pick slate from
coal. practically one third or the
men who were doing that work have
been cut off entirely. New apparatus
recently installed, which employs
water to do work formerly done by
scores of hands, Is considered the
greatest blow since the companies
quit the production Of coke ten years
ago.
