ROME, May 14.—Osservatore Ro- mano, official Vatican organ, under the title “How Alfred Smith Answers Unfortunate Questionnaire,” prints a dispatch from its New York corre- spondent describing the recent ex- change of open letters on the relation- ship of church and state in which the Governor of New York participated. Osservatore makes no editorial com- ment. The news dispatch declares: “Gov. Smith gave undoubted proof of his qualities_as administrator of public affairs. Having acquired a large fol- lowing, owing to his personal gifts, there is no doubt that many Ameri- cans would be ready to let the ques- tion of his religion pass to the second line and vote for him, but the Metho- dist sect, which one of the former Presidents called the ‘third party,’ is fighting tooth and nail against the supposed possibility of a Catholic’s candidature.” & After quoting extensively from'Gov. Smith's letter setting forth his posi- tion as an American Catholic in po- litical life, the correspondent con- cludes: “Gdy. Smith’s answer has untipped many of his opponents’ arrows. Many newspapers, although unfavorable to Catholicism, have showered approval and praise upon the governor. The attempt made to shake his popularity has had the effect only of augmenting it. Anyway, it is not a case of speak- ing of Gov. Smith’s candidature for the presidency at present, but his Catholic faith will not be the predomi- nating objection in case of his even- tual candidacy.” REVIVAL SERVICES BROUGHT TO CLOSE Program for Activities at Mount Vernon Place M.

PARIS, May 14 (#).—Business, thinks Grand Duchess Marie, is more fun than society, and accordingly she opened an embroidery shop in Paris, patronized by leading dressmakers.

On the other hand, society sees lit- 4| t1e of the grand duchess, although she is a cousin of Grand Duke Nicholas, titular head of the Russian royal house and heir to-the imaginary throne of the Czar of All the Russias. The business was built up entirely bv her own effort: WOMAN GIVES BONUS. Kansas Bureau Chief Directs $30,000,000 Fund for Veterans.

TOPEKA, Kans, May 14.—Some Kansans apparently believe that ‘Kansas, which entered the Union in 1861, was one of the original 13 States. 0Oddly enough, those who have such a confused notion of American his- tory are not unschooled immigrants. Persons desiring to prove that their ancestry entitles them to membership in national societies of descendants of Revolutionary War soldiers. have written to the adjutant general of the Kansas National Guard for the mili- tary records of their forefathers. A jurist and the wife of a high school principal are among those who have suggested that their ancestors probably followed the colors of Kansas rggiments in 1776. CRACK SHOT HAS ONE EYE. Septuagenarian Brings Down Crow With Rifle at 223 Yards. OIL CITY, Pa, May 14—What is believed to be a record feat for a man of his age has just been accomplished by 8. R. Sharrar of Fortigs. Ie re- cently shot a crow at a distance of 223 yards with a .32-caliber Winches- ter rifle. Although blind in one eye, he was able to do this without the aid of glasses, so keen is the sight of his other eye. Mr, Sharrar is 74 years old. Zoo Plans to Raise B The National 'Zoological Park is making preparations to produce its own honey for its bears. A model hive has been set up in the garden behind the director’s office and a swarm of bees ordered. Efforts also may be made to trap a swarm of wild bees which have located in the nark. Honey is the greatest delicacy for all the bear family. When wild they defy the stings of the bees to tear open honey stored up in the trees, and often are severely stung about the snouts in the process. But the bears at the Zee have gone without thelr ees So That Bears Can Have Honey After Long Abstinence honey for about eight years, unless some visitors familiar with their tastes hav,fedthe m some surrepti- tiously. . Once, Zoo attendants recall, an old gentleman used to come to the bear dens once a week with pound boxes of honey, which he fed to the animals. The bears anticipated his visits and always grew uneasy shortly before the time he was expected. Then the visits ceased. The old gentleman either died or moved away from the city, and his petsghave not had their honey sinces Famous Churches of the World The Monastery of St. Francis at Assisi T et [ on g S S 0 S HERE is a garden in Assisi, just outside the pilgrimage church of Santa Maria delgi Angell, which is in bloom this month, held in great venera- tion by the multitudes of pilgrims who go there. The garden is that one which contains St. Francis’ thornless roses, and these flowers bloom every year during the month of May. It was only last Fall that the 700th anniversary of the death of Francis was observed. Founder of a great Catholic order, his exemplary life and great love and understanding for fel- low men held up as a-model for all time, Francis is revered by people of all denominations, and many parts of Assisi are hallowed to his memory. The town itself is on a mountain and the monastery and lower and up- per churches of St. Francis are im- posing in their bold position. The lower church contains frescoes by Cimabue, Giotto and others, illustrat- ing the vows of the St, Franciscan order, while the upper church has frescoes representing scenes from the life of the saint. Francis was born here in 1182, ahd returned here to die in 1226. The churches were begun immediately after his canonization in 1228, and were completed after nearly a quarter of a century of labor. During the passing of the centuries the sarcopha- gus containing his remains was lost, but it was rediscovered in 1818, and is at present at the church. (Covyright. 1927.) Sunday School Lesson BY REV. HUGH T. STEVENSON. PETER AT PENTECOST.— Acts, ii.1-47. Golden Text: “Repent ye and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your, sins, and ye shall receive the gift -Acts, Pentecost, or the fiftieth, was the Greek name for what in the books of Moses is called, variously, the feast of harvest or of weeks or of first fruits. It was known as “the concluding as- sembly” that commemorated the giv- ing of the law at Sinai, and was ob- served in connection with a great na- tional thanksgiving service. Fifty days previously Peter and John. had been - investigating the empty tomb and about ten days had intervened since Jesus had ascended, having charged them to wait for “the prom- ise of the Father.” During this period His followers had with ‘“one mind” given their attention to prayer, pre- paring themselves for the dawning of a new day in their lives and in the world’s history, without understand- ing what the future had in store for them. - Suddenly there came to them, the Holy Spirit, preceded by the symbols of sound and sight. Only one other event in the annals of men surpassed the baptism of the Spirit, the birth of Christ, who in parting had assured them of the coming of the Spirit. All barriers between edrth and heaven were removed, for God, through the presence of the Holy Spirit, came to dwell in the souls of men. They were filled with the evidence of power. Hu- man language was not able to com- pletely give expression to the new fact of their Christian experience, so that there was given unto them the spe- cial poewer of speaking in other tongues. This miracle filled the minds of men with amazement. Some of them, in a cynical effort to explain the experience, suggested that they were filled with new wine. This charge resulted in the revelation of Peter to us in a new light and power, preaching the first Christian sermon. Peter in delivering the first defense of his brethren showed that the com- ing of the Holy Spirit had wrought a complete change in the cowardly soul, who had less than two months previously denied his Master. There is a courage and confidence in his deljvery, that reveals the presence of the Spirit. Stifler has well said that his address presents a convinc- ing proof of the Spirit's presence. In its adroitness, in the arrange- ment of the arguments, in its analy- sis, in its steering clear of Jewish prejudices, in its appeal and effect, it is without a peer among the prod- ucts of uninspired meén. As an ex- ample of persuaeive argument it has no rival. The more it is studied, the more its beauty and power are dis- closed. And yet it is the work of a Galilean fisherman, without culture and training, and is his maiden effort. Peter’s soul was on fire. He based his sermon upon the Scripture; quot ing from memory from the Septua- gint, he cited five verses fram the prophet Joel in which God had fore- told of a great outpouring of His Spirit, as an explanation of their great spiritual experience. He found a point of contact in God’s word which evidently he knew thoroughly and was familiar, with the Greek translation of the Old Testament. By its use he had won a hearing and by claiming that the miracle, which caused them to wonder, was due to God’s coming down to dwell with men and that the Messiah had appeared he aroused their curiosity to know, ‘Where then was the Messiah? This he took up in the second part of his sermon, claiming that Jesus was the Christ. There was a boldness about Peter’s address and skillful handling. of his evidence to prove the Messiahship of Jesus. He cited two facts that were well known to his hearers very briefly, claiming that His works es- tablished His relationship with God. In one short sentence Peter claimed that the crucifixion was not antago- nistic to the Messiahship of Jesus and that their part in it was not excus- able. He surprised them by the asser- tion of the Master's resurrection, quoting from David and interpreting the passages by an exposition show- ing that it clearly referred to His resurrection and citing the disciples as witnesses of His resurrection. Pentecost had given Peter a clear conception of the authority and majesty of the Risen Christ. Although the apostle’s eyes had not followed the Lord when He entered into the glory of His Father’s presence, the coming of the Holy Spirit had opened up his mind to the truths of many portions of the Sacred Scriptures, so that in his conclusion Peter claimed that Pentecost itself—"what ye now see and hear"—is the supreme dem- onstration of his claim that Jesus was the Christ: for on the friends of the risen Lord only had been be- stowed the gift of the Spirit. He then demanded of “the whole house of Isreal” that they should recognize the fact, as being proven conclu- sively, “that God did make that same Jesus, whom they had crucified, both Lord and Christ.” Peter’s sermon gripped his hearers. They were convicted by his present: tion of Jesus, as the Me: hship. They had shared in His crucifixion. They believed that the One whom they had helped to nail to the cross was the Messiah, so they asked ol the preacher, how they could be saved. There was tenderness and encourage- ment in Peter’s exhortation for them to repent, change their mind, ac- knowledge and obey Christ com- mands, assuring them that they and their children were entitled to the gifts of the Holy Spirit, whose power they had witnessed in the disciples, teaching and winning men with the gospel. “Then those who welcomed his message were haptized and in that day 3,000 souls were added to them.” Another result of Peter's sermon was 4 new community composed of his message were baptized and in that believers, who continued steadfast “‘in the fellowship, in the breaking of the bread, and in the prayers.” They were pnited in the bonds of fraternal love, that was increased by the teach- ing of the apostles concerning the life, teachings, ministry and miracles of the Lord Jesus. They used the Old Testament to show how the Master tulfilled its prophecies in connection with His words and work, that they had witnessed. The word translated fellowship ‘comes from a root which means literally “sharing in commoi The fellow- ship of the early church was de- veloped by a constant intercourse with one another concerning their progress "n the spiritual life. It made them interested in the welfare of each othe that helped to relieve any one of their number in distress. In the breaking of bread, we have no doubt a refer- ence to the communion, Lord's Sup- per, or Eucharist, that is observed by modern Christians. This commu- nity of life, fellowship and possessions “breaking of bread and of prayers.” The early church found in united prayers a spiritual power, that gave them the Holy Spirit and fitted them by faith for His service. Peter's preaching at Pentecost brought the new community into | being, because he was filled with the Holy Spirit. Preaching without the Spirit is never effective. The church grew because they were all filled with the Spirit and were obedient to His leadership. Peace, progress, and pros- perity depend upon the followers of Jesus remaining steadfast to “the teachings of the apostles, in the fel- lowship, in the breaking of bread, and | prayers.” The Holy Spirit is waiting today to demonstrate what He can do with a united and consecrated com- munity of believers, who will at all times and in all places, proye their loyalty to Christ by following the leadership of the Holy Spirit, who at Pentecost came to reveal the power of the Lord Jesus to His walting band } of followers.

F. 208 SERVES MILLION MEALS EACH DAY Red Cross Organization Cares for Flood Refugees With Little Effort. Serving three meals a day to more than 300,000 refugees is a task the American Red Cross is accomplishing in the flooded Mississippi Valley with as little confusion as an average house- wife experiences in feeding a family of six. This is made possible by care- ful organization. Each refugee center of 60 persons or, more has a trained disaster worker directing relief. Wherever possible, foodstuffs are procured locally by the area director, in accordance with the Red Cross policy of giving merchants in disaster areas the benefit of pur- chases. Where an area is cut off by water from any source of supplies, the director telephones, telegraphs and in some instances radios his “grocery list” to base headquarters in Memphis. Orders Sent Promptly. The Memphis office, receiving the order, ships the foodstuffs from its huge warehouse or purchases it in Memphis, Vicksburg, New Orleans or other nearest center to the area where it is needed and ships it by boat or rail. An order yesterday from Greenville was on its way from Memphis by boat within three hours after the request had been received. The vessel carried food sufficient to care for 15,000 people for three weeks. The types of food belng used by the Red Cross correspond in all areas with the sort of food the refugees are ac- customed to in normal times and has the approval of the Red Cross medical director. When foodstuffs are bought, the purchasing agent calls in the wholesale dealer, states what he needs, and bidding takes place as they sit together around a table. The lowest bidder gets the order and immediately hauls it to a railroad car or boat, from which point it proceeds, usually within an hour or two, on its way. Special Traffic Men. Special trafic men have been as- signed by the Illinois Central Railroad to see that shipments of Red Cross supplies are routed as expeditiously as possible. In an emergency situation special trains can be procured on an hour’s notice. At the camps rations are disttibuted on a systematic basis. A card record is kept, and a week’s supply is distributed at a time to each of the refugees. One cornfield negro recently quired of a Red Cross worker who was distributing rations if he could “wrap it up and deliver it.” Due to the fact that warnings were issued in advance of the floods, in most cases the majority of refugees were able to carry cooking utensils with them, and it has not been necessary to furnish either these or stoves in great numbers. In only a relatively small number of camps has it been necessary to continue mass feeding. Some camps have canteens, but in most cases the food is distributed to families and pre- pared by them.

They sleep In Montana, cook in Alberta and, as they devour their flapjacks and bacon, Gus, on one side of the table, faces Jack over in Canada. The house was built before the in- ternational boundary line was located definitely. Marine Corps Changes. Col. C. B.
