Mrs. Mason called for reports from the denominational rallies held yes terday afternoon at the different churches. The chairmen of each came to the pulpit reported as follows: Mrs. R. L. Patterson—Lutheran— “The offering from our church is small—113.25—because we have re cently undertaken other mission work, and because we are a small church.” Mrs. J. G. Kennedy—A. R. P.—“Our Jubilee offering was |50. We recently pledged ourselves to support a new missionary in the foreign Held, and we consider that as a part of our Ju bilee offering.” Mrs. James K^—Episcopal. “There were 25 present >t the rally and the sum of JlOO was ^ven.” Mrs. W. W. Hagood—Methodist. “There were 117 present, a gain of 53 new members, and $941 was pledged.” Mrs. W. C. Dowd—Baptist. “There were 63 present at the meeting, and the sum of $538.50 given.

In the past few days the Priesbyterianfl of Charlotte have raised that much more for Immediate help to a mis sionary. But for this our Jubilee offer ing would have been twice as much as story of the beautiful Jewess—not that of the beautiful Moabitish maid who gleaned in the fields of rich Boaz, but a maid of Israel of the today, yho came to Miss Miller after one of the services in Kansas City and looking up to the speaker with tear-filled eyes said: “Would they take me?” “Take you!” said Miss Miller, “Yes, and gladly, but why do you, a Jewess, wish to go to the mission field—d6 you realize what It means?” “Yes,” replied the maid, and I want to go. It is the only way.” ^ St. Louis—$86,000.

Jubi lees were held In Richmond, Balti more, Washington, Nashville, Louis ville, The greatest, in import, but not financial gifts, being In Washington, because the settings were unique and fine,” said Miss Miller. “President Taft, though a Unitarian, helped the workers.” He said, “It is through united effort that the world must be uplifted.” The feature of the Wash ington Jubilee was the drawing-room meetings—of which much has * been said and written—meetings in the homes of the “400.” / “Another tour embraced the cities of Harrisburg, Rochester, Boston, Philadelphia and Petersburg, which the Jubilee troops came by “unto Rome”—New York, the great centre reserved by the Jubilee troup for the last. "Miss Miller gave a graphic de scription of the New York Jubilee. Seven thousand women attended the banquet, and the sum of $150,000 was given. This brought the Jubilee offer ing to the grand total of^ $900,000. , Miss Davies. Miss Davies, a woman of marked personal attractions, dt bright men tality, of fine voice and graceful man ner, spoke to the eager, listening au dience next. She had a cheery, inspir ing word of commendation for Char lotte. “There has not been a better Jubi lee, anywhere than this, ‘comparing the’ size of the town with others,” Miss Davies’ subject was: “Our Responsibility for. the Future." Through a thrillingly Interesting talk she emphasized the one great fact: that the reason that the cause of Christ languishes in foreign fields is because the church in America is not awake. On the awakening ot the church—of the won^en of the church in America—mission work ot the future must depend. The end ot the Jubilee,” she said, “is the be ginning of the campaign.” The ques tions-for the women of the land are: “How Much Can I Do? “How l^uch Can I give?” The imperative is: “Go Ye. “Tell Ye. “Give Ye. “Pray Ye.” Mr. Simmons Great Judge of Poulfxy The following from the Lexington Dispatch will ^be of interest to Mr. Simmons’ friends here: ' “It will interest the friends of Mr. R. L. Simmons, now of Charlotte but formerly a citizen of Lexington, to learn that he is going up in the poul try world. He is the editoi^ of the Southern Poultry Journal, published at Charlotte, and is 'one of the most sought-after judges of poultry shows in the business. Recently he judged the great Alabama State Poultry Show at Birmingham, to the saUsfac- tion of more th%n 1,000 exhibitors." Presence of Mind. Watching her house bum down, the woman suddenly bethought her that she had written out a check and left it lyying cm her desk. Fortunately she could remember the number of it—281. With rare presence df mind she at once called up the hank. “Please stop payment on check numbered 281!’ she directed, with the crisp brevity of those balanced souls who know ex-' actly what they want.—Puck.
