FOREIGNERS NEED
CHURCH
TRAINING
The Rev. Kenworthy Emphasizes This in Discussion of Immigration.
BY THE, REV. W. O. 8TOVALL. In speaking of the Immigrants last night at the home mission week meeting at the Baptist church, the Rev. T. C. Kenworthy said that the menace of a foreign invasion which some American fear is without any basis in fact.
The official records show that while there have been over one million immigrants a year in recent times, the
percentage of foreign born people in
our' population has remained about the
eame since 1860. There is this differ
ence in the type of immigrant, however, that the people who came to this country twentynve years ago were
for tihe most part agricultural people
from northern Europe, while the great
mass of recent immigrants has been from southrn Europe and also from Asia. These people are not agricultural, but segregate in colonies in many of our cities, where on account
of their lack of understanding of
American ways they occasion a very
difficult problem.
But we need these people. They
tme to us on account of the hard nditions in their own countries and tre willing to do their share of our wk for the living they get here. Only
very small percentage are undesira
bles. Most of them are young ablebodied men and women, who are willing to work. Many of the great improvement enterprises in this country could not have been put through with
out the labor of these men.
Efforts Shortsighted. Many of the efforts made by well-
tneaming people in this country to improve tbe condition of these strangers ice short-sighted and Inadequate. In leaving their native land many of them eave also the religious beliefs of their tbildhood and settle among us often without any religious belief whatever. It is a great mistake to try to make mod Americans out of them by social lettlement work that studiously disregards all religious teachings. This Is the very thing they must have to given them that self-control that American conditions demand. To reach these people with the evangelican type of Christianity is the problem that our home missionary societies are grappling with in earnest
oday. An encouraging beginning has
n made, but the surface has hardly
een toucnea as yet. rne American
Ible society is doing a noteworthy ork in this connection. It spends ov-
r, $700,0000 a year in Bible work,
touch of which is among the foreign
ers. Its colporters distribute Bibles in jthi8 country in sixtyflve different languages, and sell them at one-fifth of (their cost to persons who do not possess Bibles. I In closing Mr. Kenworthy expressed the hope that this Home Mission week might be productive of some move-iat-nt among the Richmond churches Ito reach the few foreigners living Ihere. ! The last of these union meetings will be held in the Reid Memorial rhurch Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Rev. B. Earle Parker will speak on "Unity in Making Our Country God's Country."

WILLIAM LORIMER WAS OPERATED ON

Bevans performed the operation and was assisted by Doctors J. B. Herrick and S. R. Slaymaker. Mr. Lorimer was in the operating room one hour and a half. After being removed to his room the doctors expressed themselves as perfectly satisfied with the patient's condition and declared .there was no fear entertained of any bad results. Dr. Bevans said that it was a complicated appendix lesion and that the appendix was removed.
FARMER'S WIFE IS ENTERPRISING
(Palladium Special) ECONOMY, Ind., Nov. 16. Mrs. J. P. Salisbury is being congratulated by her friends on her initiative in putting to rout a marauder that was
playing havoc with the chickens on ; her husband's farm. When Mrs. Salisbury heard the commotion in the barnyard, she grabbed a revolver, and shot at a ball of fur she saw fighting with a chicken. The first shot crippled the groundhog, the second ended the life of the animal. She has also shown enterprise in as
sisting her husband in cutting fodder at a time when he could secure no laborers.
Making Cut Glass. The process of glass cutting requires great skill and care. A design Is first lightly copied on the glass, and the cutters take it in hand. A fine stream of sand and water falls continuously on a rapidly revolving steel wheel. To this the glass is applied, and the cutting is really accomplished by the friction
which the sand sets up. Then another ;
workman with another steel wheel and plain water brings the cutting up to a sharper edge. A third workman with
a soft wooden tool takes off the cloudi-1 ness caused by the friction of the steel, j a fourth polishes the glass, a fifth with '
a preparation of oxide of tin gives to it that iridescent luster which makes us value cut glass so highly.
A Merry 016 Widow. One of the most remarkable instances of long life was that of the countess of Desmond. This merry widow died in 1694. having survived her husband, the twelfth earl, seventy years. She retained her faculties to the last, could walk ten miles a day until a week of her death, at the age of 140, and according to the Inscription on her portrait at Muckross abbey. Killarney. "in ye course of her long pilgrimage renewed her teeth twice." The countess appeared likely to beat all records for longevity, when, relates Sir William Temple, "she must needs climb a nut tree to gather nuts; so. falling down, she hurt her thigh, which brought on a fever, and that brought death."

A Princely Gift. Perhaps tbe most magnificent gift ever made by any individual to any nation was the presentation by Lady Wallace to tbe English nation of her husband's remarkable art collection In 1897. It contains over 000 pictures of every school, including thirteen by Sir Joshua Reynolds, furniture, cblua and objects of art innumerable, of a value between $15,000,000 and $20,000,000. It was left absolutely to the nation, tbe only stipulation being that it should be kept distinct from other national collections.

A Gentle Rebuke, Lady Dorothy Nevill in her reminiscences relates how Queen Victoria once rebuked a certain mlstrees of the robes for unpunctuality. A day and hour bad been appointed for a public ceremony in which the queen was to take part. The hour had arrived, and of all the court the duchess alone was absent. The queen gave vent more than once to ber impatience, and at last. Just as she was about to enter her carriage without her first lady of honor, the duchess in breathless haste made ber appearance, stammering out faint words of excuse "My dear duchess," said the queen, smiling, "I think yon must have a bad watch." and she unloosed from ber neck the chain of a magnificent watch which she herself wore and passed it round the neck of the offender. ,
