The finance cominittee of the chamber of deputies today in effect blocked the move for immediate payment of the .5I9.iHHJ.O0O war del)t in terest which was due to the Unit-i ed States last December l.i. Foreign Minister Joseph Paul- Uonconr e.xplained to the com mittee the government's attitude was that discussion of the debt , (liiestion should be put off be cause of negotiations now in progre.ss with the United States. The committee took no vole on j the iiuestion but members said they were in general agreement witli the foreign minister. The altitude was that discussion at this lime might hiniter the nego tiations with America. M. I’aul-Honcotir tobi the com mittee that it would be difficult for F'rance to make the default ed payment now. as within a short time -on June 16—the next inslallnient will become due and about it nothing has been, settled. I The foreign minister made it | clear that he desired to know I the exact debt position of the' Roosevelt admini.stration. H e said two matters were primary in consideration of the Decem ber payment—considerations of foreign policy which dictate that France ought to pay; and the view of parliament, determina tion of which is outside the pro vince of the government. An official communique said M. Paul-Boncour expressed the hope that “conversations now in progress which show sentiments of friendly understanding on the part of Mr. Roosevelt may soon make possible a gesture on the part of France in the direction ing .service. The men’s class ra'sed $11.75 to apply on their flower and Building and Loan Funds. On Sunday evening the pastor spoke on, “The .Man Who Play ed God.” The church was beau tifully decorated with jonquils and hyacinths. Special prayer was offered for the sick. The Primary Department of the Sunday school is making plans to sing at the County Home and the T. B Hospital on Easter Sunday afternoon. The children will stand on the porch of the T. B.

Some changes will be made in these divisions soon in keeping with the new unified program !throughout the church. The Woman's .Auxiliary will meet on Tuesday, 3:30 p. m. in the ladies parlor of the church. Mr. E. T,. Blackman, Jr., made an interesting talk at the Sunday morning service relative to the self-denial offerings to be re ceived on Easter Sunday. Mr. Blackman always speaks inter- iestingly and eoiTvineingiy. Cards were distriliiited Sun day announcing the Passion I Week services beginning Sunday I night. A service each night next week based on “The Seven ■ Words From the Cross.” The peo- i pie are called upon fo attend these meetings during the Holy ; AVeek.

The first j grounds sermon will be on the Word, “Father, Forgive." Phone 80 when there is sick ness or for any service that can be rendered. Good Sheplierd,” and an inspiring sermon. The music is in charge of Mr. AV. .A. Stroud, director, and Miss I'rsula Blevins, pianist, and • is always inspiring. The song serv ice is a very important part of the service, and good music nev er fails to attract people’s atten tion to a service, regardless of the denomination. Lovely spring flowers were placed in the church by Mrs. W. J. Johnson, and Mrs. O. K. Whit tington. Prayer meeting every Wednes day evening, and visitors are al ways welcomed. The Sunday school under the direction of Prof. T. E. Story, as sisted by a number of excellent teachers, is progressing nicely. This past week has been “Stu dy Course Week” for the B- Y, P. U. Miss Alene Godfrey has been teaching the juniors. Miss Sue Lyons is the leader of this group. The intermediates have been studying under the leader ship of Miss Grace Blevins, while the seniors under the leadership of the pastor, have been dis cussing “The People Called Bap tists.” The interest taken in, and the attendance at these meetings has been splendid. The AVonian's Sunday school Class meets Friday afternoon, April seventh, with Mrs. G. T. Mitchell, at halt past two o’clock, and it is hoped that every mem ber will be present, as plans to raise funds for the class are to he discussed, the funds to he used for many needed things about the church. The women of the church met Tuesday afternoon and planted blooming shrubbery and other things about the church grounds. Tn another year, when these things have grown into bloom, the grounds will be much im proved in appearance. They are planning to have the ground lev eled and make other improve ments about the grounds. I think this work o f planting the grounds is under the supervision of Mrs. F. G. Holman and Mrs. George Kennedy. Seldom do we give the faith ful men of the church credit for any work done about the church, but while there were a large number of the women out Tues day doing their full share iu cleaning up and planting the there were several of men there too, some of them New York., March 30.—For mer Governor Alfred B. Smith, writing in the April Issue of the New Outlook, declares the “new ' administration, led by the presi dent, has made a good begin ning.” Continuing, he says: “As we go to press, it has pro vided prompt and constructive leadership. It has guided public opinion by clear understanding pronouncements, and has thus far restored morale and confi dence. It has helped in a forth right way with the currency problem, with reorganization of the federal government, with the drastic reduction of veterans’ benefits in the face of the bitter opposition of a strongly organiz ed minority, wi'th the problem | authorizing and taxing beer and with the farm problem. “It is wise for the new admin istration to take full advantage of its large majorities in the new congress, and of the popular approval at the very beginning of the special session, to drive through emergency legislation. A great many things can be done now which cannot be done later. Public opinion Is aroused and will fully support the executive in these and similar measures of an emergency character. I said last month that the Democratic party was at the crossroads. I will say now that it has taken the right turn, and that everyone in the country, irrespective of party or other affiliations, should sup port the new administration loy ally and patriotically in the path on which it is now moving—^be cause I am satisfied that it is the path back to economic health and happiness.” Coalinga, Calif.—The skull of a hairy mastodon which roamed California uncounted years ago, was found near here recently by an oil well crew.
