BROOKLYN CHURCH NOTES By Mrs. F. J. McGill Despite the inclement Weath er a large audience was pres ent Sunday morning and night. The pastor, Rev. A. H. Prince, brought to us a very beautiful message from the theme, “There is No Fault in Jesus,” text, Luke 23:4, “Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.” This message was centered on Pilate’s confession. Rev. Prince said there are many weak-kneed Christians, pastors as well as members. The cause of Christ is suffering on account of weak-kneed men. Men are so full of_sin we dare not shape our lives after them. During the Sabbath school hour an interesting missionary program on Cuba was given by a number of our young people of the school After listening to this very interesting program ope felt more eager to help in the Thanksgiving offering. One of the most interesting features of the activities of the church is the Children’s Hour, every Sabbath at 6:00 o’clock. They are always glad to have visitors present. “How Should the Christian Use His Money?” was the question in the Young People’s Forum. Mr. R. A. McGill was the leader. Mr. Joseph John son presided. This was a fine discussion for the young peo ple, who are having a series of discussions on Stewardship. Tuesday evening the Regal Circle held its regular monthly meeting, and Thursday evening the Crusaders Circle held its meeting at the church. Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Hill, of Durham, are spending a while here in the home of Dr. and Mrs. T. W. Russell. Mrs. Hill was formerly Miss Ethel Rus sell. Only the golden rule of Christ can bring the golden age of man.—Anon.

M. C. A., Mr. Jeans had the honor of addressing ; a joint meeting of the Y. W. and Y. M. C. A. at Barber-Scotia Col lege a.few weeks ago. He was accompanied on the trip by the University Quintet.

Brewer pictured to his hearers the con dition of unrest throughout the country, due to unemployment and suffering, and pointed to Jesus as the great Author of peace under all circumstances. We had a large audience to lis ten to this sermon. The church is doing well along all lines. After the sermon tile choir sang, “When Peace Like a Riv er,” and prayer was offered by Deacon H. C. McNeill. Then the collection of the day was called for. It amounted to $58.35. At this time Mr. W. P. Evans paid $36. A statement from him was, “l am paying now because Tve got the money; for later I may not have it.” Mr. Evans also does fine spiritual work as our senior elder. H. C. McNEILL. GIVES AWAY 1,000 NICKELS DAILY IN NEW YORK New York, Nov. 15 (A.P.) —“Mr. Glad*’ has stood near Lafayette and Leonard Streets every day for a v*eek now, his pockets bulging with nickels. He is a kindly old man of distin guished mien, dressed in light tweed with a gray hat and dark glasses. At first some thought it was a publicity stunt, but each day, at 1 P. M., “Mr. Glad” and his secretary appear in the wake of two patrolmen and take their stand in th$ middle of the block on Leonard Street. Without ceremony a line forms and the people pass, each get ting a nickel. The secretary hands each man a circular which says: ‘The amount I give you is small, but it will get you a cup of coffee or tea and a roil, and I am glad to do this because my heart is filled with grati tude.” The circular adds that “Mr. Glad” was given up for dead six years ago, and suffered the loss of his entire fortune. The nickel charity had been under taken, he said, in gratitude for the recovery of both his health and his fortune. He gives away 1,000 nickels a day. SWIFT MEMORIAL COLLEGE (Continued from page 1) the game and will be presented with a gold football. Much in terest is evinced in this contest. Competition for the winning of yotes by the various candidates and their supporters is very keen. Swift graduates in all parts of the country have been invited to take part in the Thanksgiving activities. The work of • religious and secular organizations at the in stitution continues apace. Last Sundav the college division of the Christian Endeavor Socie ty sponsored a “Brotherhood” program which was impressive in every detail. The Richardson Dramatic Club, under the lead ership of Miss Gray, of the Ro mance Language Department, and the Music Dramatic Club, under the leadership of Miss Pettis, Music Director, are working assiduously on the preparation of programs to be presented in the near future. No one can gainsay the sterling value of these student organi sations in providing the type of presents the cheerfulness which will add materially to the round ed development of student life. The St. Mark's Presbyterian church building on the college campus has been recently re novated and the interior now presents the cheerfulness wheih is so conducive to true worship. The improvement is welcome. Tt is iust another manifesta tion of the inherent nature in Dr. Tucker to see everything around him look its best. A splendid choir has been organ ized by Miss Pettis, of the Music Department, and all church ser vices are now fully choral. A city child, spying some milk cans out in a country field, cried. “O’ Mamma, here’s a cow’s nest.”
