ALVIN JOHNSON AND

Old English Monarch
Man of Modern Ideas
Burglary lnsuruuce is no modern in
stitution: It seems to have existed
from the time of King Alfred and was
probably introduced by this king who,
had he lived in these times, would
have made a name as a successful
business man. -
The town of ' IMpon, England, he
gave in 8G0 into the charge of a coun
cil, who appointed a watchman to
blow a horn every night at nine
o'clock. Between that hour and sun
rise the town was quiet and no one
was supposed to be abroad. But
Itlpon was not altogether a law-abiding
place and presently the town au
thorities found it necessary to pro
tect Us peaceful citizens against raid
ers and robbers.
And so a law was passed that any
householder wishing so to protect his
house from robbery should pay 4
pence a year to the authorities. Then,
if ids house was entered and his goods
stolen or damaged between the blow
ing of the horn und sunrise, he could
claim from the town council, who un
dertook to compensate hii Music
and Youth.
Music of the Desert '
During the holy month of Itama
tlinti, when the' Mussulman feasts only
after sundown,, the Sudanese reveille
awakes tiie sleeping soldier at mid
night. It Is the voice of the desert It
self, expressed by sons of the desert.
The golden notes of massed bugles rls
lug In the silent night, and the swell
ing roll of the drums, are thrilling be
yond description, because they are the
vocal spirit of an intangible something
that always touches the soul of man.
The deep velvet sky, the glowing
planets, the vastness and silence of
the desert, the utter absence of dis
traction, make It a blending of perfect
beauty ; so perfect that one scarcely
breathes for fear of breaking an Il
lusion. William A. Anderson In Ad

Young Peoples Prayer meeting ev
ery Tuesday evening at 8:00 P. M.
Nothing in our Convention or As
sembly though many good things were
presented, equaled this idea of a
Young Peoples Prayer meeting.
Many said they never heard it on
this wise before. No less of import
ance is the Sunday e'vening B. Y. P.
U. at 7:00 P. M. The Thursday even
ing Prayer, Praise and Bible study
furnish the dynamic for christian
work. This Power House of Chiist
ian strength is Christs example to
the world.

may not feel called upon to render
an accounting but when our re
sources are at an end, then whose
shall these things be? Not account
able to men but to God.

McCoy had a finer role than in this stirring romance of pioneering days in ;
the early West. Crackling action, a whirlwind narrative of intrigue and

A very pleasing bit of entertainment. ''Sadie" is a girl who rides the sub

the long stretches. Not a big show but one that will hold its own with many
a so-called special. "
