MIDDLETOWN, Conn, Dec. A.
Little Miss What's-HerNam was
worth a fortune tonight.
No one knew when it happened
No one knew why. But every one
knew she once was penniless orphan,
and now, overnight. is an heiress.
She is the little blond girl at the
Muriel Mccormick Hubbard estate, a
little blond girl too young to wonder
why it should happen to her when
there are thousands Of orphans.
Still, she Is the adopted great
granddaughter of the late John D.
Rockefeller and a probable heiress to
part of the Mccormick reaper for
tune as we'll. She may be one of the
richest girls in the world some day.
One Of the richest girls in the world,
maybe, and why?
Because her hair is blond, perhaps,
or because her eyes are blue, or per-
haps because a wealthy woman was
lonely and liked to give little girl
a bath.
Il have a child with me now" the
widowed Mrs. Hubbard told an ac-
quaintance who visited her secluded
Lone Tree Farm estate in October.
She's 4 years old. We like to take
care of her. I like to give her her
bath"
The child may not have been the
blond 4-year-old whose adoption was
announced in Chicago two days ago
by Mrs. Hubbards father, Harold
Fowler Mccormick, the International
Harvester Co. executive. But the de-
scription fitted her.
Whence the blond girl came was q
mystery. Some place in the East, "
Mr.. Mccormick said. And where she
was tonight was mystery.
Wherever she was, Miss What's
her-name was filling vacant spot
in the life Of Mrs. Hubbard, who had
no children and has lived alone since
her husband, Maj. Elisha Dyer Hub
bard, died last December.
Mrs. Hubbard claims four -sevenths
of the $4,000, 900 trust fund the late
John D. Rockefeller gave his daughter,
Mrs. Hubbard's mother, the late

Failure of Chest to Reach
Goal Creates Problem at
Chi|dren's Institution.

Faced with the possibility of an
other failure on the part of WASH
ington citizens to contribute ade-
quate funds to the Community Chest
for their hospitals support, the Board
Of Directors of Children's Hospital
has set tomorrow as the day Tor its
annual meeting, Charles d. Drayton,
president, announced yesterday.
Last year the hospital was left
$l5,20406 short in its annual share
of Chest support and was forced to
gain permission for an individual
card appeal to public-spirited citizens.
Still In Debt.
The card appeal left the hospital
still in debt for the year, Mr.. Drayton
said.
How to amortize this debt. together
with those accumulated in former
years, will be the outstanding subject
Of tomorrow's meeting.
Other important matters which the
directors plan to consider include the
effect on hospital expenses resulting
from the survey of Washington health
institutions to be made by Assistant
Surgeon General Robert Olesen for
the United States Public Health Serv-
ice and need for q home for colored
convalescents.
Kept Longer Than Necessary.
Miss Matte Gibson, superintendent
Of the hospital. said yesterday that
more than half the colored children
treated at the hospital have to be
kept there after they no longer need
hospital care because they would not
receive proper attention at home and
there is no other place to send them

True worship is revealed ". 2S)
as being I'd "In spirit" We do
not cast aside all external helps to

through and beyond both place and

true worship. We can worship In
truth only when we really know
the truth. MacLaren rightly said,

Jesus honors this poor fallen
woman by making to her his first
declaration Of himself as the Mes
siah. He is the high and exalted
one, but he is at the same time the
friend Of sinners. To the learned
ruler of the Jews, Nicodemus, he
spoke Of the new birth. To the
poor woman of Samaria he declares
his Messiahship. He is no respecter
of persons. Neither are those who
truly follow him.
And she fortnight left her water

BORDER BRIEFS

Despite the severity of the
weather, Sunday witnessed very
fine attendance in our Church
school, morning worship, Junior
and Young Peoples Leagues. The
Lord has blessed US each Sunday
of the New Year with men of good
judgment, sound convictions, and
moral and spiritual integrity. We
have been happy to welcome into
our fellowship Messrs. Wendell C.
Jones and Plummer Willis.
Our sick list remains too large
to crowd within our allotted space,
including many of our Church
school teachers. One of the most
valuable additions to our Church
school staff in recent years was
made when Mrs. Edith Lee, prod
uct of the Minneapolis Leadership
Training School, accepted the po-
sition of superintendent of the Ju-
nior Department and teacher of
one of the classes of junior boys.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP.
IC-Jesus Meets My Greatest Needs.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP.
IC-Jesus Meets Our Deepest Need.
Life, light, water, bread are ele-
mental, fundamental things. Life
must come from God. But IL can
exist only where there is light, and
only God gives light. Nor can life
continue where there is no water
and no bread.
It is therefore a blessed and sig
nificant fact that Jesus was de-
clared to be the life Of men. He
also says Of himself that he is the
Eight of the world" (John 9:5);
''the bread Of life" (John $3.50. In
our lesson today we see Him as the
one who gives Giving water" ".
100.
The incident at Jacobs well In
Sychar took place when Jesus,
leaving Jerusalem because Of in
creasing hindrance to his work,
goes up to Galilee. Unlike his Jew
ish brethren, who detoured around
the land Of the hated 'haf-breed"
Samaritans, he must needs 60
through Samaria," for there was a
sin-sick soul that needed him.
Space win not permit a full con-
sideration Of all the beauty and the
depth Of spiritual truth found in
this story, but let US note that we
here have
"A Sinner Tactfully Approached
WV. 7-15).
Every Christian Is by his very
calling a soul-winner. We dare not
delegate this responsibility to the
pastor or missionary. AS soul-win-
ners we are vitality interested in
our Lords approach to this woman
who was far from God, apparently
hopelessly involved in sinful associ-
atoms, a citizen of hostile nation
and an adherent Of another reli-
gious faith.
BY asking a favor Of her he tact
fully placed himself Gas does any
petitioner) for the moment, on her
own plane. He was not a distant,
learned religious leader deigning to
cast a bit of religious philosophy
to her. He was a tired, thirsty
man asking for a drink Of water.
But he was morel He was the
gracious Son of God, declaring to
her that he was ready to give to her
the water Of life.
III. A Moral Problem Faced WV.
1919.
One may speak knowingly Of the
promises Of Gods Word, and may
understand the way Of salvation"
but one will never find peace and
Joy until there is a frank and open
facing Of sin in the life. Let US
make no mistake at this point, for
the moral law Of God Is the same
now as 1t was on that far-of day
when Jesus brought the woman Of
Samaria face to face with her own
sin.
III. A Theological Problem Solved
wv. 1920.
Possibly In an effort to evade her
moral problem by theological dis
cussion "a common practice in our
day, tooD, and partly because Of
her ignorance Of true worship, she
asks a question about a controver-
sial matter relating to outward GER
emory. Is 1t not singular thing
how men who know nothing Of spir-
itual life delight in the propagation
and defense of organizations. and In

HALLE @. BROWN FORUM
Lathrop E. Rogers ably adj
dressed the st. Paul Sunday
Forum, January 10. He gave the
audience many salient and cog
infant facts about the Negro and
his outlook. Especially emphasized
was the educated Negro character
istic of withdrawal into a certain
cultural pattern or absorption into
the mass group without benefting
the group.
The we'll known fact of "wishful
thinking" was called attention to
in the matter of Adult Education.
Previously the adult Negro be-
walled his lack of educational OPP
portunity-yet with the instigating
of the Adult Education program,
there is a woeful lack of enthu-
siasm or desire to participate.
