FOR HOSPITALS AND HOMES. Every year thousand of men and women seriously ill are turned away from Church hospitals because of lack of room. The children's homes ar compelled to turn away mora children than they can receive.

For Religious Training. At least 12,000,000 children and young people under 25 years of age are enteringAmerican life without any religious training at alL Remembering the faith of Washington and Lincoln, do you think that America will continue to produce Washingtons and Lincoins if Faith dies out of the hearts of its youth?

For Higher Education Of the 45 0,000 American Students in institutions of higher grade, one-half are in institutions founded and supported by the Churches. Many of these institutions have had no great endowment campaigns, bat their ntds are just as pressing as the needs of larger schools; and you have only to read their list of alumni and alumnae to measure the Tela of their contribution to America. K

FOR THE CHURCH'S WORK ABROAD. Influenza came first from the Orient thirty years ago; nearly all plagues are Oriental plagues. So long as China has only one physician to every 400,000 people the Orient will continue to b a menace. So long as bne-third of the babies of India die befor their second year our own babies are not safe. A Christian doctor or teacher sent abroad is working for America as truly as though he worked at home.

56 Pupils Take 8th Grade Exams; 38 Took Them Last Year, Say Officers In comparison with 33 eighth grade diplomas examinees last year, 56 took examination at the high school Saturday, and 50 seventh grade pupils, a much larger number than the year before, were examined in geography and physiology. At least $13,000 will be spent In transferring township children to the Richmond high school this year, whereas $10,000 was spent last year, and $4,000 five years ago. Township Trustee John Edgerton and County Superintendent C. O. Williams say that although this increase

interest is extremely gratifying in many respects, It Is frightening from the financial viewpoint. "It means that we must have more taxes if this

.increase continues," they said. "From

$16,000 to $18,000 will be spent next year at this rate." 1 Increase In expense is due to a great extent to increase in attendance at the Richmond city schools, and be cause prices have grown at least onefourth, according to Mr, Edgerton. He is of the opinion that the ultimate solving of the problem will come in a centralized township high school in alliance with motor hacks. Funeral Arrangements V Abner Arthur James Abner, Infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Taylor Abner, died Sunday morning at the home of his parents, 924 South Thirteenth street, of pneumonia. He is survived by two sisters and one brother. Funeral services will be held Tuesday at 2:30 p. m. from the home of his parents. The Rev. L. E. Murray will officiate. Burial will be in Lutherania. Friends may call at any time. Brown The funeral of Clara B. Brown, widow of the late Francis A. Brown, will be held from her home, 2100 Main street, Tuesday at 1 p. m. She died in Los Angeles, Calif., last Tuesday and her body arrived in this city this morning. Burial will be in Camden, the Rev. A. H. Backus officiating. Friends may call at any time.
