A Federal officer in Dallas
makes the announcement that
the type of "Chain letter" pray-
er which is being transmitted
through the mails, hundreds of
copies of which are being receiv
ed by residents of Dallas, is an
offence again Bt the postal regu-
lations, since it contains a warn-
ing to residents to the effect that
if they disregard it some dire
calamity or misfortune may fall
to their lot Superstition has not
even to this enlightened age,
been wholly eradicated from the
human nature. The "chain let-
ter" superstition born in Mexico;
as all superstion is a nuisance.
If Uncle Sams postal authorities
can suppress it, he will be doing

people. Ho. Post.
A statement made public by
representatives of the British
liquor trade shows that the rigid
restrictions on the sale of alco-
holic beverages imposed since
the war began, have curtailed
the sale of beer about 17 ppr
cent. But, on the other hand,
there has been an increase in
the sale of spirits of 19 per cent.
Drinking across the bar, it is
added, has lessened to a marked
degree, but the "bottle trade""
has increased correspondingly.
According to dealers, spirits are
chosen in preference to beer for
drink at home, as they are easier
to carry.

little the best of it. and in try-

The following was handed us
by a lady Vorker in one of, the
church societies with tne request
that we publish same. The arti-
cle is taken from a recent issue
of the Baptist Standard. The
question was asked by J. P. Sol
omon of Hebron, Texas, and the
answer is by B. A. Copass:
"Are cream suppers, bazaars,
etc., as a means of raising funds
for religious purposes Scriptural
or even justifiable"?
This is the same old question
over and over again. How an-
noying it is to God's people. The
desire to get money by such
means sometimes exists in hon-
est hearts who have very little
money of their own and who tie-
sire to serve God. However, it
generally exists in hearts not
consecrated and hence covetous.
They want to make a show at do-
ing the work of the Lord and
keep their own money at the same
time. Consecation would elimi-
nate all such practices, The only
thing taught in the Bible about
giving is, that we should give
with cheerful hearts as the Lord
prospers us. Read 1 Cor. (16:1-3
2 Cor. chapters 8 and 9.
All sorts of undesirable things
come from trying to get money
without giving it. For one thing
it stifles and hinders real giving
in the church. The men will
Btand aside and leave the women
to raif e a little money by another
bazaar. Then it brings reproach
upon the cause of our Lord. The
outside world is not deceived by
such methods. This writer has
heard sinners swear about hav-
iug to be help up by that church
supper "getting a bowl of soup
with two oysters in it" so they
say. A grocer will be asked for
a contribution. He will give it,
fearing, if he does not, he will
lose trade; but he swears like a
trooper as the sisters leave. He
has h&d tot give awav the profits
on the trade of one customer for
that month. That'man will 'be
harder to reach with the gospel.
This writer was once approached
by a woman who saw her mother
had very little money to give and
desired to give a supper for the
church. We reolied: "Your
mother isMoved by the people of
this town. Let her give the sup-
per in her own name. It will
draw a big crowd." The woman
indignantly replied: "My mother
is no beggar. I will do nothing
of the kind", The writer then
said: "But you would make the
church for which Christ died a
beggar."
A young woman once asked an
old infidel for help in giving a
supper. He said: "Yes, I will
help you but you are treating
your Jesus like He was a poor
widow". For one 1 would rather
sell my coat than to have such a
thing said. In the next issue the
Standard will publish an article
from the pen of Brother T, D.
Osborne, Louisville, Kentucky,
on "Making Money." Brother
Osborne is the father of Mrs.
W, B, McGarity and is one of the
leading laymen, of his state,
Read that article and pass it on.
A compliation of the 57,000
fires which have occurred in
Texas since Dec. 10, 1910, show
17.906. or 66.9 per cent of the

ment houses were preventable,
while 8849 were n,ot preventa-
ble. In the mercantile and
special "hazard class 15,650. or
51.7 per cent, were preventable.-
and 13,595 were unpreventable.

ars and oigarettes caused 1174
fires. Flue fires total 4570, and
cotton fires aggregate 175.4, The
number of fires of dwellings
