Am I fly Brother’s Keeper?
In any community there are those who lift and those who
lean, those who help and those who profit from the help of
others.
Some try to make the city better and others are content
to enjoy the fruits resulting from the care and efforts of
others.
The Socialists talk about the “unearned increment’*
meaning that property an individual has which was made of
value because of the work of others.
The moral and social unearned increment is that which
makes the life in the community more desirable, but which we
did not help to create.
Thos who strive to make the community better are en
titled to the enjoyment of the better life possible there.
There are kickers and knockers everywhere and they
have their certain value in community work; but the indiffer
ent and careless are less creditable from a community
standpoint.
We all have a responsibility for the condition of those
al>out us and must give of our ability or energy to help make it
all better.
t In-so-far as we have any influence, it should be used for
the elevation and preservation of high community standards.

Augusta Church News
At a Glance
R«v. A. D. Echols Given Purse by His
Church.
Rev. A. J). Echols, pastor of the Asbury
Methodist church, has been given a
handsome purse and asked to take a va
cation. He left Monday of last week
for Cnaleska, N. C., where he will spend
several days at the summer conference
of his church.
Mr. Echols Is closing up his fourth
year at Asbury and Is very popular with
his church. The gift and the vacation
came as a surprise to him. He ha* work
ed hard to make things go at Asbury,
and It was very gratifying to him to re
ceive such a testimony of love and es
teem frotn his people.
Mr. Echols hopes to return In time to
hold the regular services next Hunday.
For today the Sunday school will have
charge of the morning hour. The Su
perintendent and the teachers will con
duct the service, a good time Is an
ticipated The Woman's Missionary So
ciety will conduct the evening services.
The program will he participated In by
all the societies of the church. An In
teresting program ha* been arranged.
Rev. W. T. Hamby Gone to North
Carolina.
Rev. W T. Hamby, presiding elder of
the Augusta district of the Methodist
Church, South, has gone to Unaleska, N.
f\. nnd will hr out of the city for some
time returning to 'take charge of th«
camp meetings. Dr. Hamby left for his
• summer, vacation In the best of spirits.
It has been a good year for his churches,
most of which lias had good meetings an.l
met nil local and conference claims. He
feels confident that this section and city
will make an excellent showlg at the an
nual conference In November.
Rev. W. R. Waugh on Vacation.
Rev. W. B. Waugn, pastor of the North
Augusta Baptist ohnrch. left Monday for
Ids summer vacation. Tils church gave
him a month’s leave and he will spend
the time at Forsyth, Ga.. with his wife’s
people. While out of the city the mem
bers of the church will have charge of
all services, nnd they are eager to have
a good attendance. Mr. Waugh will not
return till the last of the month.
Camp Meetings to Begin Third Bunday.
This is the season for camp meetings.
Most of the churches over the rural sec
tions have had their sen son of revival,
and are now looking forward to a few
weeks of the old-time tent meetings. The
first to he held in this district is that at
the Fountain Camp Ground. It will be
gin on Friday night before the third
Hunday and will continue for a week.
Preparations are going forward to make
this one of the best meetings in the
history of old Fountain Camp Ground.
Rev. W. T. Hamby, presiding elder of
this district, has arranged to have a
splendid array of local preachers who
will conduct the services from day to
day. Among the preachers you know
are: Rev. J. P. Erwin, pastor of the
Methodist church of Washington, Ga.;
Rev. J. O. Bmn*V* pastor of Woodlawn
Methodist churtuf; iiev. J. F. Roberts,
pastor of St. Methodist churcfh;
Rev. W. T. Hamby, presiding elder, all
of t Augusta. Rev. B. F. Mize, Thom
son. Ga.. and Rev. W. R. England, Hear
ing. Ga.
The White Oak Camp Meeting will be
gin on Friday night before the fourth
Sunday and will close within a week.
For this meeting Dr. Hamby has ar
ranged to have Bishop Collins Denny, of
Richmond, Va., to preach at least once a
day. The other ministers who will take
part are: Rev. H. L. Edmonson, of
Newnan, Ga.; Rev W. B. Dillard, pastor
of St. James Methodist church, Augusta;
Rev. J. H. Mashburn, of Thomson, Ga.;
Rev. Ru M. Twiggs, of Harlem, Ga.; and
Rev. B. F. Mize, of Thomson, Ga.
It Is always refreshing to attend a
camp meeting. It remains one of the
good old days when our fathers wor
shiped under bush arbors, and sung and
shouted the praises of the God they loved.
Of late years the camp meetihg has too
often been turned into a Chautauqua, and
its Influence as a religious force largely
neutralized. Dr. Hamby is doing his beat
to revive the people of his district, and
it is felt that the camp meetings of this
summer will go far towards accomplish
ing that purpose.
Of course the camp meetings are for
every one and many from Augusta and
other places will go. It will be a pity
if they go not to help make the meetings
a genuine success. The country needs
a revival of religion. If history moves
in circles, it may be that the camp meet
ings of our day will again awaken the
people to a sense of their duty to Go 1
and themselves. Dr. Hamby wishes al!
the people to he in prayer for the ser
vices.
Rev. O. P. Gilbert at Warthen, Ga.
Rev. O. P. Gilbert, pastor of the Sec
ond Baptist church, has been assisting in
a series of meetings at Warthen, Ga.. a
town on the Augusta Southern Railroad.
The meetings were begun last Sunday by
the pastor. Rev. Raymond Rigdon, and
closed Friday night. The congregations
were large despite the rain, and a num
ber was added to the church. Mr. Gil
bert has returned to the city and will
preach today at the regular hours of
service.
Mr. Gilbert says this Is the first sum
mer since he his been pastor of the
Second church that he has remained close
about home. His church gives him an
annual vacation, but the church is try
ing to liquidate its debts, and he feels it
his duty to do all he can toassist. It Is
thought that the church w-ill be out of
debt by the time the association meets
at Spread In October.
The Sunday Schools and Athletics.
For the first time In the history of
the August a churches the Sunday schools
have had baseball. A number of the Ba
raca classes organized a league In the
beginning of the sen son. Each team has
had its officers and Its players all of the
class they represented. The ryles gov
erning the teams were such ns to make
sure thnt all questionable conduct would
be barred from the teams and the
grounds. The season Is almost out, and
It is said that the teams have contrib
uted largely to the splendid showing
made by the different schools of the
city, as the attendance has been larger
this summer than usual.
It is evident that the teams will have
no opposition next spring when the time
comes to re-organize. For in addition
to the young fellows It has kept in the
Hunday schools during the hot months, it
has brought the hoys closer togetehr, and
helped them much in a moral way. The
boys who have taken part in the games
find themselves stronger In every way.
and will keep the teams going through
the sumer.
Rev. Charles E. Hutchens, of Sylvanla.
Rev. Charles E. Hutchens, formerly
pastor of Hvlvanla Bantlst church, has
been called to the Woodlawn Baptist
church, and will take tip his work there
at once. The action of the church in
We all have a responsibility; there is no credit in shift
ing that responsibility or in avoiding our part in the work.
In every community the churches are doing their share
more than their share-to preserve what we have and to carry
the banner of improvement a little farther on-make condi
tions constantly better. ,
Do we all appreciate to what extent we could help?
If twice as many people were found in church each
Sunday, it would be easier to carry the load of church work,
and it would be possible to make the church work more ef
fective.
If some of our people are pulling the wrong way, are
careless of their duties, or indifferent to local needs, it only
proves a deplorable lack of an understanding of life.
We are our brothers keeper-and we shall give an ac
count for our attitude toward that which affects him.
The work is important and each individual has re
sponsibility for a personal participation in it.
The leaders of the upward movement in this community
are anxious to accomplish the best work possible-they are
calling for volunteers to help-they ask you to assist-what is
your answer?
conference last Sunday was unanimous,
and brings to the city a young man well
fitted for the work.
Mr. Hutchins has been pastor of the
church at Bylvania for A number of
years, and he did a great service there.
Recently he lost hi* only child and he
and Mrs. Hutchens felt that they couid
not remain longer. Mr. Hutchens re
signed and has been resting at Norwood,
Ga. This makes It possible for him to
come to Augusta at once and begin work
In his new field.
Mr. Hutchens Is well prepared for
the work of the ministry. He is a
graduate of Mercer University and of
the Southern Baptist Seminary. He
is a young man of large vision and
purpose. His coming to Woodlawn
Baptist church is hailed with delight
by a number of his friends and school
mates.
TO ABOLISH SOCIAL TESTS
AND PAY HIGHER WAGES
London.—lt la asserted there is a
strong possibility. If the Liberal party
remains in power, of measures being
taken to make British diplomats and
army officers more representative of
the democracy by abolishing social
tests and paying higher salaries to
those in the lower grades.
The tradition which now limits ap
pointments in the diplomatic service
to young men from the nobility and
aristocracy, and which requires a pri
vate income of $2,000, has already
been severely attacked by Liberal
newspapers and reviews, on the
ground that this rule produces a corps
of gilded society butterflies without
ability in practical affairs. The whole
British diplomatic service, in fact, has
been undergoing a siege of unfriend
ly criticism, not only from outsiders
hut from its own ranks as well.
Arthur Ponsonby, Member of Par
liament, who spent more than eight
years in the diplomatic service, testi
fied before the Royal Commission
which has been investigating the ser
vice, that some posts, as at Copen
hagen ,he often had not more than
half an hour of work a day, and he
thought this was a common exper
ience of men in the smaller embassies
and legations,
He declared that most of the mem
bers of the diplomatic service of
other countries have a better educa
tion that the English from Eton and
Oxford.
“There is no profession in which a
woman figures so prominently as in
diplomacy,” he added. “The wife of
a diplomatist is an extremely import
ant person, and under the present
system with its enforced exile our
young dlplomatss very often marry
foreigners. In a certain embassy the
wives of the staff consist of two Ital
ians, one Spaniard, one Swede and
one German. And that Is a British
embassy.”
LACK OF NATIONALISM IN
AMERICAN PAINTERS;
CLAIM
London.—American planters lack
nationalism; they are content to im
itate the French; their one ideal is
prettiness and often prettiness with
ot meaning, according to some of the
criticisms passed by British experts
on a large and representative col
lection of American art which has
been on .lew in a gallery here. The
one thing they find to praise is what
one critic terms the “high level 01
technical excellence.”
Eliminating a half dozen paintings
of cowboy scenes, prairies and sky
scrapers, this critic dectlares “the
rest might well be an exhibition of
French pitcures, and those better by
far than may he Tound In the Beaux
of Arts. Nor is there any individual
development of Frencn impulses. iMr
roots of American art are not fixed
in its own soil but in Montparnassre.”

Brother of Private Secretary
of King of Albany Tells of His
Amusing Experiences.
London.—Jack Heaton Armstrong,
whose brother. Captain Heaton Arm
strong, is private secretary to the
king of Albania, has Just returned to
London after a stay of several weeks
In Albania, during which he accom
panied the loyalist force of Prenk Bid
Doda on its march from Alessio to
wards Durrazzo. Mr. Armstrong, a
debonair, monacled young English
man, commanded the "Prenk's” artil
lery, consisting of one Austrian moun
tain gun. The "Prenk,” who ia ft
Mirdite chief and, according to Mt.
Armstrong, a most polished gentleman,
set out from Alessio at the head of
about a thousand of his own tribe and
an equal number of Malissori to go to
the relief of the king, besieged in his
capital. The first objective was the
rebel stronghold of Ishmi, where a
few' shells from the mountain gun
soon cleared the rebels out of the
town.
Curloue.
“It w r as curious,” said Mr, Arm
strong, “how' the gun was a sort of
fetish to the Albanians. The rebels
would never stand shell fire, while
our ow'n men would run to me for the
gun on the slightest excuse. My eye
glass was an object of great interest
to them. They believed it was essen
tia! to the working of the gun, and
I did not dispel the illusion, hut kept
the glass in my eye whenever an
Albanian was in sight. Every emotion
the Aliianian experiences is expressed
in wdld shooting. Sad or glad, angry
or elated, he fires off his rifle. But
one could not get them to advanca
against trenches. At Malcuchi, w'here
the force ultimately disbanded, a few
shells from the gun cleared the reb
els out of their positions, but our men
remained in the valley expending
thousands of rounds of ammunition
In mere noise.
There to Fight.
“tVhen I dismounted the gun to
wards evening, and on Prenk Bid
Doda’s advice retired with It, a panic
set in from no apparent cause, the
enemy reoccupied their trenches, and
nearly all our force disappeared.
I then determined to get the gun
into Durazzo by sea If possible. I
sent out a boat, which reported that
there were no signs of the enemy, and
then set out myself in the leading
boat with the gun and two other boats
following with the ammunition. At
the narrowest part of the channel the
boat ran aground and the Albanian
oarsmen assuring me they had come
out to fight and not to work stopped
rowing. In the end I had to get out
up to my armpits in water and pull
our boat off the shoal with a rope.
Finally we got to Schllnza and thence
by a sailing ship to Durazzo.
