—OUR
WEEKLY SMILE
(C.J.T.—Phila.,Pa.)
v '
There is no way of estimating the
true value of the Sunday schools to
the community surrounding them.
One of the greatest tributes ever
paid to the American Sunday schools
was paid by Supreme Court Justice
Lewis L. Fawcett, of Brooklyn, N.
Y., in an editorial which was copied
by a Philadelphia paper sometime
ago. I am passing it along to you
because it is an "eye-opener.”
The editorial reads:
“In the eighteen years of my ex
perience on the bench more than
4000 boys less than 21 years old have
been arraigned before me charged
with various degress of crime. Os
this -1000 ONLY THREE WERE
MEMBERS OF A SUNDAY
SCHOOL, at the time of the commis
sion of their crimes.
“Even these three exceptional
cases were technical in character and
devoid of heinousness, so that they
are scarcely worth mentioning.
In 1902 suspended criminal sent
ences only sixty-two of the young
men were brought back for violation
of the conditions of their parole.;.
In each suspended sentence case I
insisted upon the return of the youth,
if he was a Protestant, to a Sunday
School; if a Roman Catholic, to at
tendance at Mass, and if a Jew, to
attendance at a Synagogue or a
Temple. In each instance I had the
earnest co-operation of the Minister,
the Priest or the Rabbi, and in each
case I saw to it that the young man
had a job to go to as soon as he was
freed on parole. In virtually all of
the suspended sentence cases the re
form was quick and, I believe, per
manent.
“IF WE COULD KEEP THE
YOUTH OF AMERICA IN SUNDAY
SCHOOL DURING THE PERIOD
OF CHARACTER FORMATION, OR
AT REGULAR ATTENDANCE UP
ON RELIGIOUS WORSHIP. WE
COULD CLOSE THE CRIMINAL
COURTS AND JAILS. There would
be no ‘raw material’ to work on. And
what is good for the youth would be
equally salutary with adults. The
sustained, wholesome, moral atmos
phere imparted through habitual at
tendance upon Sunday School and
church will expel criminal impulses.
“Any man not contributing to the
support of some church or organized
religious work is living on charity
riding on some other man’s trans
portation. If he really desires abate
ments of crime he should ally him
self with those agencies which pre
vent or abate crime.”
The statement that out. of 4000
boys less than 21 years old, arraigned
for crime, only three were members
of a Sunday school, would seem in
credible if made by an ordinary citi
zen, but the Judge of a Supreme
Court could not afford to make a
statement varying from the court
records, hence it is, undoubtedly,
authoritative and trustworthy, and
therefore, doubly gratifying to Sun
day school workers, who are seeking
to train the youth of our nation to
obey the laws of God and man. Every
teacher and worker in the Sunday
schools of Hartwell, are, in my opin
ion, laying up for themselves trea
sures in Heaven. Can you do better
work from either the civic or re
ligious-standpoint, than to support,
by your presence, and presence of
ail within your range of influence,
the modern, practical, consecrated,
result bringing Sunday school? Re
member that the majority of new
church members comes from the Sun
day schools.
Now, I will tell about Gimbel’s
Department Store. It is a real
pleasure to shop in a store like Gim
bel’s. The building covers an en
tire block and is ten stories high.
In this building are over two hun
dred stores, assembled under one
roof. There is a gents furnishing
store, a drug store, a ladies ready
to-wear store and, in fact, every kind
of store imaginable, from a grocery
store to a furniture store. There are
four restaurants, two barber shops,
hair dressing parlors, a small hospi
tal and, in fact, the store is a city
within itself.
Twenty elevators carry people to
all parts of the building. Besides,
there is the moving stairway (escul
ator if you please). When I first
started to work at Gimbels I won
dered if I would ever learn where

A. B. BROWN, Sheriff
Hart County, Ga.
all of the different kinds of mer
chandise were located. Each of the
5000 employes are required to know
this. But, after I had been there
only a short time I soon learned the
key to the puzzle. I learned where
the different departments, or stores,
were located and then the rest was
easy. If a lady came in and asked
where the rubber goods were locat
ed, naturally, I would answer, “in
the drug department.” If a man
wanted a watch, I would tell him to
go to the jewelry department, and
so on.
One day a negro man and his wife
came into the store. They looked as
though they hadn't been away from
the South very long. The negro
man said to me, “Is you all got any
men’s white gloves to use at a
funeral, in here?” I said, “Why,
man there is a standing offer of
SIOO.OO if you will call for something
that we haven’t got.” He turned to
his wife and said, “Well, what do
you know about that?”
On the seventh floor is located the
famous WIP radio broadcasting sta
tion —the strongest in the East.
Pianos, Victrolas and everything
musical is located on this floor.
Wannamaker's Department Store, in
Philadelphia, has a large pipe organ
built in their store and three times
daily the customers shop to the tune
of some high class music. Would
you consider shopping a pleasure
under similar conditions?
No wonder women enjoy shopping.
No doubt you have often heard that
women have weaknesses for bargain
hunting. Well, it’s true. 1 know
this. If you could see the number
of articles that are returned to
Gimbel’s every day by women who
had no intention of keeping them and
merely bought them for the pleasure
of shopping, you would agree with
me. Listen to this: a woman came
into the store a few weeks ago and
purchased $93.00 worth of silk un
derwear and said, “Send these to
Mrs. F. Bloch at the Ritz Carlton
Hotel.” She then inquired where
the riding-habits were located and
left. Upon investigation it was
learned that "Mrs. Bloch" had no
account with Gimbel’s and course
there wasn’t a chance of the goods
ever even being wrapped, much less
being sent. She knew that and yet
she went to several different depart
ments of the store and ordered goods
sent to different high class hotels.
She had done this before and when
they finally caught her she admitted
that she did it for the pleasure of
shopping.
In the silk underwear department
her conversation was something like
this:
Customer —“My, this is pretty
how much is it? And this my that’s
beautiful?”
Saleslady t “That one is $16.00 and
this one is $17.50.”
Customer “All right I will take
two each of those.”
After picking out several other
piece* she said, “How, how much is
my bill. I don’t want it to g 6 beyond
the $75.00 mark.” The saleslady
told her that what she had picked
out amounted to $93.00. She said,
“Oh, well, send it I’ll take it any
how.”
Gimbel’s has a bank, post office,
telegraph office and in fact every
kind of service station including air
mail mailboxes. And their system is
as near perfect as one could be.
After you have had a charge account
with the firm for three’months you
are given a coin (a small piece of
metal with a number thereon, which
will hook onto your key ring. When
you come into the store to shop, all
you do is show your coin to the sales
girl and she looks in a book of “dead
ones” and if your number is not list
ed therein, you are at liberty to buy
to your heart’s desire. If your number
is in the book -that means that you
are wanted on the fifth floor in the
main credit office.
“Why,” said Von Bolden, “you ara
not as dumb as I thought you were—
you’re dumber.”
I’m occupying space in the Logarr
M. E. church choir here in Philadel
phia, now. My wife is also a mem
