to the Washington Post! "A funeral
association will shortly hold Its an
nual convention In Atlanta, though
the newspapers of that place have
been doing' tholr best to create the

The wife of a Philadelphia preacher

A REMARKABLE SUNDAY IN CIVIC AND RELIGIOUS
HISTORY.
Next Sunday, June 16th. will be the moxt remarkable day In tbe re
ligious history of Atlanta. No previous Sunday In the records of state and
civic Incidents can compare In Importance to what Is proposed by two
of the great evangelical branches of the church militant for the approach
ing Sabbath. The beneficent results to be attained by both conferences
cannot be readily computed, for they will reach very far into tbe future.
To one who Is seriously Impressed with what are termed the "hap
penings" of life. It appears peculiarly fortunate that two of the greatest
and most Important religious sects should meet on the same day In At
lanta for the consideration and commemoration of unusual matters touch
ing so many points of .common interest to humanity.
The commemoration on Sunday by tbe Episcopalians of Atlanta and
surrounding section of the tercentennial of the first celebration of the
communion of the Protestant Episcopal church in America at James
town Is an event environed by a sentimental atmosphere which must ap
peal to Christiana of every denomination.
Regardless of varying creeds and of diverse liturgies. Interest In
(be celebration of such a wonderful occurrence must be genuine and uni.
versal.
Across three centuries the church of today will greet the early fa
thers who, braving tho danger and Isolation of a new world, planted the
cross In the wilds of Virginia and sent out upon the unknown future
from the rugged Virginia coast the light of the gospel, which now Illu
mines the entire hemisphere. Between theBe two days—that Sunday In the
fresh young world, and the Sunday, June 16th, In tbe populous metropolis
of tho South—there are three centuries of teeming thought, of restless
enterprise, of marvelous achievement and of splendid religious progress.
Upon the hillsides of America, and In the great cities of the country
church spires point the heavenward way, and tell the story of a nation’s
religious faith. Vast sum* of money are yearly sent Into benighted, heath
en lands from American congregations to be expended for the salvation
of less fortunate humanity. American preachers have no superiors among
the great religious teachers of the world and American faith has with
stood the onslaughts of skeptic, agnostic and Infidel until at this tercen
tennial of the celebration of the holy communion In America that feeble
light which flickered at Jamestown 1 has become oven aa the noonday
sun to believers of every orthodox sset. No more significant celebra
tion, linking the past and the present, has ever taken place In this
country than will be observed Juno 16th by the Episcopalians of America.
Sunday will also be a day unique and remarkable In the history of
Methodism In Georgia, for the active hlshopa of the Southern Method
ist church will gather as a body In Atlanta to preach In tho various
churches of that denomination on a worthy and philanthropic theme.
It Is the noble purpose of these godly men to present tho work of
the Wesley memorial enterprises before the people of Atlanta.
Tho first Institutional church work undertaken by the Methodists
of Georgia Is that of tho Wesley metnorlal enterprises, and has for Its
object the relief of human suffering and the betterment of human condi
tions. Large and suitable buildings are In contemplation for carrying on
successfully this werk. Young girls and young men will be provided
with suitable homes at nominal cost; a hospital, a nurses' home, audito
rium and roof garden for proper diversion, baths, gymnasiums, reading
rooms nnd everything necessary for the comfort and well-being of those
limited In Income will be arranged by those persons having thli work In
hand.
Modern In plan and execution, the Wesley memorial enterprises will
become one of tho most remarkablo and magnificent Institutions yet un
dertaken In a Southern city.
At tho closo of threo wonderful centuries, In the great city of Atlanta,
on Sunday next, June 16th, Episcopalians and Methodists will meet to
commemorato most significant event! In tbe religious history of the state
and the country.
Tho [inst, present and future will then meet In sacred communion
when the Episcopalians and Methodists shall In the various churches of
the city hold solemn and appropriate services.
The Inspiration for the splendid enterprises of the modern churches
first found expression three hundred years ago at Jamestown, and It Is em
inently fitting that these two branches of religious faith should on the
same day meet In Atlanta, one to do reverence to a holy, beautiful past;
the other to plan for a holy and beautiful future.

OUR FILTHIEST EVIL.
At Madura, India, as In thousands of other India villages, there Is
a groat pool supposed to be sacred. There are temples around It. As many
as ten thousand natives may be seen at times standing In this pool up
to tbe waist at one time. The water Is thick with filth and In that cllmste
It Is easy to Imagine the sanitary condition of such a place. Thcso Mo
hammedans bathe their bodies In this filth, and thon, before leaving, scoop
up handfuls of It and suck It Into their mouths. Wo know the sequel
well—bubonic plague, cholera and tho like.
Ilut they aro blind In their Ignorance, and no power thus far has been
able to Rtop them.

upon the sidewalk. Then remember how It dries, how short a time It la

us how far we are ahead of the Ignorant Indians.

Buying An Automobile
By GRANTLAND RICE, in Tho Tennessean.
Jack Jones had planned to buy hlmaelf a car quite up to date.
Hed read about each new machine till he could hardly wait.
"I want tho very best," said he;
. u N 2„ ot , ht T kind will do for me, . .
And so I'll look around and ace the beat one for my dough;
111 hear what all the agents say, because they ought to know.
The Fearless agent grabbed him first and talked to him at length
About the beauty of his car and Its exceeding strength.
"The Fearless Is the onty make.”
Bald he. "It always takes the cake,
And you will make a big mistake If you should buy another.
I’m giving you this dopo as straight aa If you were my brother.’
On to the Minton agent next he hurried right along.
Just buy a Minton car," said he, and you can't get In wrong.
The carburetter's out of light.
The sprocket la a beauty bright.
The whole machine Is fast and light—no other piake will do.
There never was a car like this—now. Just between ua two.”
But here the Fearns man hurried up and plucked him by the aleeve.
“Just look at this machine,” quoth he, "and you will never leave.
The ‘air controller 1 la In the line;
The 'muffler,' too, Is mighty fine.
No other make on earth for mine—you'd better buy from me.
You couldn't find a better one—Just take It home and see."
So. one by one, he heard them all, remembering each spiel—
“Black ■ Steamer la the car for you. Oh, buy a Reoblle.
A Dope-Toledo la the beat:
It has a shade on all the rest:
"And Juat look at the Foyal'a crest," another agent spoke.
“I have a feeling," murmured Jack, "that I will soon be broke.”
At last, In ever-growing doubt he finished up his quest—
"Why, every car which I have seen," he murmured, “Is the beat”
And so he stood and figured there.
Until at last In deep despair.
While madly pulling out his hair—they heard him loudly call—
“Before I ever buy the best, I've got to buy 'em all."

Do women like to be swindled?
Not consciously.
There Is no slander that a woman
will resent quicker than the Imputation
that her real name Is Mrs. E. Z. Mark,
but all the same there Is a strain of the
Rube that runs throughout the entire
feminine sex that makes It not only
the foreordained purchaxer of gold
’bricks, but enables It to have the tlmo
of Its life while buying them.
Women call this quality “faith,
'confidence In human nature," "belief
In the ultimate good," and other high-
sounding phrases. In reality tt h
nothing but an element of eras* cre
dulity that nothing can put wise. Ex
perience does not feaxe It, for a worn
an who has been taken In ninety-nine
times In a con game will cheerfully go
up against It the hundredth. She does
not want to learn, and she doesn't do it.
Not a woman can nelp this state of
mind, poor thing! She was born that
way. It la part of her sex Inheritance.
For our first mother started It. It Is
significant that the wily serpent picked
out Eve. and not Adam, when he want-
ted to beguile somebody Into eating
the forbidden apple.
The serpent knew that the man
would want to be shown. He would
want some proof of tho benefits to be
derived before he risked losing a good
home, but the serpent knew that the
woman's credulity would stand for any
thing. and that she was Juat hanging
out anyway, looking for somebody to
come along and flim-flam her Into do
ing the things she shouldn't do, and
that It would be ruinous for her to do.
He knew that she would never ask for
references or make any effort to In
vestigate tho truth of a statement.
And she didn't. It was such a pleas
ant spoken, gentlemanly snake In the
grass, with such good manners and
winnings ways, that she took Its advice
on the spot. „
And this precedent has been followed
by her daughters ever since.
In spite of the way that women act
In this regard, they are not fools, and
this confiding attitude toward life Is
not the result of weak-mindedness, but
of preference. They aro not deceived
because of their ignorance nnd unso-
phlstlcatlon. but simply and solely be
cause they enjoy being deceived.
In her Inner conselousness a woman
knows that the glib talker who takes
her In Is n fraud, or that the glittering
thing she Is asked to believe in or in
vest her mony In will not bear looking
Into or having the cold light of reason
turned upon It. Wherefore, she doesn't
look. She shuts her eyes and makes a
leap ln the dark for the fun of the
thing.
Women almost Invariably lack the
courage to Investigate things. Facts
throw them Into an unreasoning panic.
They would a million times rather be
lieve a beautttul falsehood than to
know an unattractive truth.
A thousand proof, that women are
not only easily swindled, but that they
dote on being swindled, Is to be found
on every aide. It le notoriously wom
en, for Instance, who form the follow
ing and finance the religious fakirs and
faddists who Infest society at the pres
ent time, and who makes possible the
culturlne spreaders who go about or
ganising clubs to study things of which
they know nothing.
No theory of theology or ethics can
be so wild and visionary and prepos
terous, and no charlatan so blatant
that women who are old enough and
smart enough to know better will not
espouse the one and support the other.
All of us number among our ac
qualntances women who are always
running after some long-haired man or
short haired woman who Is the apostle
of a new creed, the principle tenet of
which seems to be taking up collections
for the new religion differs from the
old In that It Is not without money and
without price.
Sometimes you see these women
groveling at feet of a yellow robed
heathen. Sometimes you find them sit.
ting up with an Idiotic stare ln their
eyes trying to manipulate thought
wkves. Sometimes they aro cooped up
ln a malodorous room, while a greasy
Sibyl Is affecting to establish tele
phone communications with their dead
relatives. Sometimes they are lean and
hungry and stringy looking, because
they have Just espoused vegetarianism,

"I think I ant what I am Ux-nuae o

Well, here wn* n new thought, fresh from
the mines of truth: "F nil what I ntu be
cause of the song# mother used to slug."
There have been given by successful men
ninny rensous for success. They have laid
down rnnnv pertinent rules for other young
men to follow, but rarely. If ever, did you
hear of n man Maying that the songs sung,
or crooned, by his mother hnd played a
part in the development of hla character.
Then the man begun tnlklug of the song*
that his mother sung as she wont round
about the house lu the bumble, yet neces
sary, duties of his Imybood days. He told
thnt while was Just » boy. nnd then* wit*
little or no news from the "front," she
snug: "Mine eyes hare seen a vision or
the glory of the Isird," nnd thnt she would
round out the chorus of "Glory, glory, halle
lujah" In a wonderful way. Then ns he wu*
telling of these songs that mother hnd sung,
the tears came to bit eye« nnd he aaul:
"Hoys, I never hear those songs today but
what I tee the face of my dear mother, and
somehow those songs she sang gave me «
love for home nnd country that makes old
America the dearest spot of nil to me.
Then he paused for a moment and sold:
"There was another song she used to sing
thnt hns helped me. I wn* then a young
man of 21 or 22, perhaps a little older. I
hnd learned to swear, gamble and drink,
nnd was rather proud of my accomplish-
incuts, but mother didn't say a word. bb«
l-rgan to slug In her now trembliug voice
about the wandering boy, and there wn*
one line that rang In my cars: T love him,

one night I went to her, told her I d cot

thought I'd come to the city, and when i
told mother the begun making preparations
for me. and then sue Just begun to slug an
other song;
