POMP AND SPLENDOR
ILLUMINATE FUNERAL
Police Question Each
Member Of The
Encourage
Discard Theory Of
Gangster Killing


New York City-Rev. George
Becton, the famous evangelist
who died in the Graduate Hos
pital, in Philadelphia, Friday as a
result of bullet wounds from the
guns of gangsters who took him
for a ride at the close of one of
his revival meetings a few days
Nh, and was laid to rest Tuesday
in Woodlawn Cemetery, in this
city. ~
The funeral services were very
impressive, and were attended by
upwards of three thousand peo-
pie, in spite of a heavy downpour
<of rain during the ceremonies.
Crowds Attend Funeral
For four hours the crowd
packed every available space for
two blocks on every side of the
church where Rev. Becton form
erly held large audiences spell
bound with his eloquence and
fiery evangelism.
The evangelists body rested in
a white satin-lined heavy bronze
full couch casket, and was flank
ed by many hundred dollars
worth of floral designs of rare
beauty.
The funeral grafton was deliv-
cred by Rev. r. A. Cullen, OF
xMethodist church, while
III JIG remarks were made by
mahy other noted ministers OF
New York City.
Mystery Shrouds Crime
At the tin of the shooting OF
Rev. Becton, it was freely re-
ported that the crime had been
committed by gangsters, in re-
prisal for the attack which the
evangelist had made on the num-
Der racket in Philadelphia but
this theory is gradually being dis
carded.
Some even go so far as to in
sinuate that the crime was the
work of persons on the inside
This theory is borne out by the
fact that the police are closely
scrutinizing several members of
the dead minister's outfit.
All the young men who formed
the Gospel Feast, Incorporated
tier, dietician, business mana
{ Er, secretary, chauffeur, music
ians, and all the rest of the group
have been finger-printed and
grilled by the Philadelphia police,
Rev. Alfred Campbell, of Lit
tie Mt. Zion church, of New York,
who was one of the last to see the
noted evangelist on the night OF
the fatal ride, was held for ex-
animation.
From other sources come q
more interesting and lurid story
Becton is said to have received
warnings from men in Philadel-
phia TO the effect that he must
not come back to that city, on
account of the powerful influence
he held over their wives and
sweethearts. This influence, it il
said, was not always of purely
spiritual nature.

Aid to Memory

A Scottish friend submits this rime
of his childhood to help modern chill
dren to remember the order of the
books of the New Testament-pro-
vided any modern child is interested:
Herein are twenty-seven tracts:
Saints Matthew, Mark, Luke, John
and Acts;
Romans, Corinthians and the Gauls,
Ephesians, Philippians and the Coils;
Thessalonians, Timothy, Titus.
Philemon, Hebrews and st. James the
Less;
Two by st. Peter and three by st.
John,
One by st. Jude, and the Revelation.
For the benefit of those not quite
so familiar with the New Testament
as they might be, we add the foot
note that ''Gauls" refers to Gala
tians, and "Cols" to Colossians.-"F.
P. A." in New York World-Telegram.

Method in Doing
Best for Others
Danger Of Over-In Indulgence
Point Always to Be
Considered.

Doing what Is best for others has
its perplexities. The desire is to
crafty the wishes of the person for
whom we would do the kindness, but
1t viii not prove genuine kindness
unless the result is beneficial. Self
sacrifice which is detrimental to an
other for whom the sacrifice is made,
is indulgence. II gives the one who
makes the sacrifice sense of salts
faction to be able to make it posi-
BILE for the other tic gain the desired
goal, or succeed in doing what was
wished. If, In the end, this indul-
gence increases the selfishness of
the one for whom the kindness was
done, or even if it merely pampers
him, or her, it brings to the forefront
of character unlovely and unlikable
traits. 1t is true that one such in
diligence is seldom far-reaching in
it's effect, but a repetition is grave
mistake.
There Is no one who feels the
need of tempering the desire TO graf
ify the wishes of others without
harm, more than q father or moth
er. What the parents are trying to
do is help their children &c develop
their best natures. Anything which
parents do that hampers their off
spring in the ability to cope with
life puts the children at disadvan-
tage in the outside world. Being too
severe creates a spirit of rebellion
which sometimes is as detrimental as
being too lenient, or too self-sacri-
ficing in their behalf. In neither
case is doing what is best for others
made the object of paramount i'm
portance.
1t is not always parents who fail
to do the best for their children, as,
occasionally, one knows of cases
where children do a bit of the spoil
ing of parents. 1t is the children.
then, VINO make mistaken sacrifices.
When this is so, the mother or ia
ther gets to tyrannize over the child
or children. Persons, young or old,
who have a natural tendency 70 be
selfish grow more selfish, when ca
tered to continually. An unseltish
person grows more appreciatiye and
careful of expressing wishes when
he, or she, realizes there is sure to
be an effort made to grant the
wishes, once they are known.
1t is evident that it is not always
easy to do what is best for others,
because of the differences in human
natures. 1t takes discrimination
But one may rest assured that it is
only when love rules the wishes, the
love which Graves only what is best
for others, that the vision is clear.

The Real American Baseball

Formerly the best horsehide from

baseballs. The test of time has prov

as good as the pick of the imported
articles. The ball cover. comprising

Persimmon Bezoar

A beZoar is any of various concre-
lions found chiefly in the alimentary
organs of certain ruminants, and
sometimes man. Formerly these con-
cretions were supposed to have re-
markable medical properties. especial.
ly as antidotes to poison. A persim-
mon bezoar is one of these stomach
balls, something like hair ball from
the stomach of butchered cow, re-
sulting from eating persimmons. Some
of the skin, pulp and seed are not di-
gested and form into a persimmon
bezoar, or stomach ball. which may ne
cessitate an operation to remove it.

COUNTY SEEKS
ROAD WORK

Montgomery County Civic
Federation adopted a resolution
asking the survey and removal Of
road hazards in Montgomery
county at its meeting in Bethesda
last night.
The resolution, presented by
the committee on public safety,
asked removal of intersection
hazards, and construction Of
guard rails and adequate banking
of curves.
Members were advised that
work on these projects at the
present is impossible, as the
county's quota of CWA workers
is busy on other projects, and
unless the quota is extended the
project must wait.
According to present plans, the
State roads commission will be
asked to prepare specifications
and estimates, and the projects
will be submitted to the county
CWA board.
Donations of food for Christ
mas baskets to be given to the
poor of the county were asked
by the committee on social
welfare.
