whose plunlage is perhaps the most
dazzling white to be found in nature,
~ are once more an authentic part of the
American scene despite the fact that forty
years ago they were as nearly extinct as the
buffalo. They were brought to such pass by
quirk of womens fashions. They were
rescued by pepper and salt - and a man.
Aigrettes are the lovely feathered fligree
work which constitutes the nuptial plumage
of snowy heron. This adornment is worn
by the birds only during the mating and
nesting season; then it is discarded for more
prosaic workaday garb until the mating call
rises once more with the love moon of the
following Spring. In order to supply fashion
with aigrettes, the birds therefore had to be
slain at mating and nesting time. Thus not
only we're the gloriously feathered parent
birds sacrificed, but their babies died of
starvation in their nests.
Snowy herons became more and more rare
in consequence. BY the early nineties no
miladys hat was complete without its stuffed
bird - and snowy egrets and the great aux
were all but in the same census class
At this time there was in Louisiana lovely
garden whose owners had just regained the
means to restore it to beauty after the
desolation visited upon it by the Civil War.
1t was a garden such as you may find nowhere
else in all the world; not because it included
thousands of acres of wild beauty, but be-
cause it grew on top of plug of solid salt six
miles in circumference and eight miles deep;
a plug of salt out of which one might carve
a life sized replica of Mount Everest and have
enough left over to duplicate some of the
peaks of the Alleghenies
There are three such salt plugs along the
tidal marshes of the Louisiana coast, rising
hundred feet or so above the sea-level of the
surrounding tide marsh.

The Maryland Bible Society
Corner
How We Do Our Work
By REV. EDGAR CoRDELL POWERS.
Executive Secretary

The success of an enterprise de-
ponds ultimatly upon the number of
people who can be interested in fur
thering it's objections. However effec-
tive leadership may be, the good lead
err or administrator can only reach
his goal by the cooperation of all the
elements under his direction.
The Maryland Bible Society has
been most fortunate in finding will
ing helpers in the form of established
organizations as well as consecrated
individuals who through the years
have assumed responsibility for
searching out Bibleless homes and
supplying them with suitable Scrip
lures. Among these are first, the Sal
walton Army. The Army has corps
stationed in Baltimore, Frederick, Ha-
gerstown, Cumberland, Elkton, Sails
bury and other centers. These valiant
soldiers of the cross are strategically
situated for contracting many indi-
viduals whom the Maryland Bible So
ciety is most anxious to reach with the
Word of Life. Major George Marshall
has rendered invaluable service as a
laison officer in this great field. Then
there are the well-established and
carefully supervised missions such as
"In-as-much" and the Port Mission,
Y.M.C.A. centers and mission churches
through which our work is carried on
to the blessing of a multitude.
Pastors are cooperating more en-
Enthusiastically than in other years by
making parish canvasses to discover
homes where there is no Bible, and sup
plying the lack. In little town on the
border between Maryland and West
Virginia an energetic young pastor has
organized class for the literary study
of the Bible in group of young High
School students; while in a grade
school, of the same community, class
for religious instruction is conducted
by this pastor. Attendance upon this
class is, of course, voluntary, and doc
trinal teaching is taboo.
Two active Bible Societies have
sprung up during the last year, one in
Garrett County, the other in Washing
ton county. Both are auxiliary to the
Maryland Bible Society, and supple.
ment its statewide program by reach
ing down into the individual parish
thus completing a circle of activity
which the parent body alone could
never accomplish.
There is a limited number of de-
voted men and women who buy miss

ANNUITIES

An old record of the American Bible
Society discloses the following inter-
esting minute from the proceedings of
the Committee on Publication and FL
nance, dated April ID, 1913:
Boston, Mass, March 20, 1843. Rev.
Seth Bliss, communicating PROPOSE
ton of Joseph Keith, of Enfield, Mass,
to pay to this society $500 upon condi1
ton that it will pay him interest an
nually in advance at Boston while he
lives, the principal to belong to the
Society at his death"
This was the first annuity contract
of the American Bible Society, and has
been followed by many others through
the years, until now there are nearly
$500 annuitants, all of whom are en-
joying certain and regular incomes
and will continue to do so for life. At
their death the various sums which
have thus been employed in purchas-
ing annuities will revert to the Ameri-
can Bible Society to be used in the
further Advancement of their four pri-
mary detectives: Translation, publica-
ton, distribution and Scriptures for
the blind.
AS might be expected, the largest
number of annuitants live in New
York, with Pennsylvania next, and far
away California third. Then in order
come Ohio, Illinois and New Jersey.
However there are annuitants of the
Society living on every continent ex-
cept Australia, and their homes ex-
tend from Alaska on the North thru
the Canal Zone and Central America
down to San Paulo in Brazil and
Buenos Aires, Argentina. Across the
Atlantic they are found in Sweden,
France, England, Italy and Turkey;
in Southern Rhodesia, South Africa. In
Asia they have annuitants living in
India, Siam, China, Japan and Korea
The PHILIPPINE Islands are also repre-

the annuitants of the American Bible
Society.
A widow now dependent upon such
an annuity for her support, recently
sent letter to the Headquarters of
the Society from which this significant
paragraph is taken:
81 did not realize the time was SC
near for this annuity check until il
was received this morning. My hus.
band was always so pleased when the
checks came, saying many times
What I gave away, 1 saved. What

ROCKED!

Nothing has rocked the New Deal
as have the Black disclosures. Catho-
lies, Jews, Negroes have been staunch
supporters of the President, although
not all have been New Dealers. Oppo-
sition to these three minorities has
been part of the Ku Klux Klan's
creed, as is we'll known. Can their
anger at what is now disclosed be ap-
peased?
Here is an issue a large segment of
the Roosevelt followers can under
stand. 1t is an emotional issue, and
more. 1t concerns the right of three
minorities to live in the United States
unmolested by bigots, unprecedented by
fanatics, secure in the knowledge that
the Supreme Court and the Constitu-
ton of the United States protects
them.
Can they be sure Of the protection
of the Supreme Court and the Consti-
tuition if Ku Kluxers are named to the
Supreme Court, blindly confirmed by
presidential stooges in the Senate, and
permitted to sit on the bench? The
charge now is that one has been thus
named and has been confirmed. Will
he be permitted to sit if he cannot dis
prove the charges?
Tho indications ara that hn will he
permitted to do so unless he is i'm
peached by Congress, or unless a
clause of the Constitution can bar
him?

thirty-three indictments. Ross Comp

There was a municipal drive against
pig pens. "The elimination of the hog
pen from the equipments Of towns and
