Washington Herahl. The gift offering to the Rev. Billy Sunday from the people of Philadfl ph.'t Is. to dste. below $50.000, and the evangelist's manager Is disap? pointed. It Is less than Pittsburgh gave a yesr ago, and much less than was estimated when the coin and bills snd checks were showered Into the collection plat**s last Sunday. Put much of the coin was silver, the bills of small denomination and none of the checks lame. The campaign man agsr says that all the churches of Philadelphia promised to take up col? lections, but they have tatted t'> make cash de > alts and he insinuates that there has been bad faith on the part, of the ministers. The old admonition to not look a Sift horse in the mouth Is Ignored gjf the friends of the evangelist. He went la Philadelphia to work for the sal? vation of souls, without money and without price, hut It appears with great expectations as to the financial returns. At a time when star theat? rical attractions have been recalled from the road. Shea even baseball ?tars are looking for Jot s, and busi? ness men ste curtailing their expenses, where 400.000 unemployed are being cared for In New York city alone $50,000 for ten weeks' service in addi? tion to all living expenses, appenrs like a handsome gift . Put not so Id ?he manager of Mr. Rut criticism of the gift of Philadelphia to Mr. feunday reflect* upon the evar, sftl-it more than It does on the pe i pie nf that city. It places big ser? vices on s financial basis, ruther than on that self-sacrificing for the good of humanity, and suggests a tariff on the salvation of souls. But even though the free-will offer? ing In money may bo disappointing, there sre many ways in which appre? ciation can be shown. A prominent manufacturer took Mr. Sunday and "Ma" to the biggest store in town and Invited them to select the :1ft ho pro posed to mske. We^arc told that Mr. Sundsy was like a boy In a candy shop and could not for ,i |$gac ssJdSJl any thina. 'but finally fount! a beautiful scarfpin price I I seb-cted It with the remurk that he Just doted on scsrfplrs. which does not read ut all like Mr Sunday's denunciation of the extravagance and frivolity of sod It Is easier to understand why Ma' selected a $850 dlumond ring, for "Ma" Is not running the revlvul busi? ness, or denouncing society or any? body else for enjoying Jewelry and nice clothes. There are so many sides to Billy Sunday that it is difficult to Judge ns to which Is most prominent. Ho has. as Col. Roosrvt It would say. had a corking time m Philadelphia, denounc? ing sinners, and some ??f th* ? sinners" have for many years plodded n'ong In a seff-sncrlflclna way under the Im presnlon thnt they were Christians and dolna Christian work, for he has pummelled the ehurches and church members SjSSIS SJ hard a* be haa those who had no connection with the rhurehe* The real bar . est from sm h a revival cannot be estimated until Philadelphia has cooled down, and *lth hysteria cured, looks over the result.

Sardinia Home Demonstration Club. The ladies of Sardinia, under the direction of Miss Katherine Kiehard son, have organized a Home Demon? stration Club, and already several very enthusiastic meetings have been held. The club meets twice each month, and the ladies find, this none too often. Home Betterment is the line of work we have chosen for our first study, and wo have begun by having a demonstration at each meeting. Quite a number of our clul members have made tireless cookers, and in this way cooking has become less burdensome. Our ladles are very much interested in tho Demonstration work and the club has grown from seven to seven? teen members. Miss Richardson has kindly promised to have held in our town a short course in domestic science and we are looking forward to much pleasure in this work. Tho club hopes to accomplish great i good in tho work we have started, and we find the social side of our meetings more pleasant. At our next regular meeting hope to have r\ d em? onstration showing how to care fori tb?" sick, at which time we are to have a trained nurse to give some lessons. We hold our meetings in different homes and in this way we develop a more cordial fooling, and as each home la different we find more to give us though, which only stirs up more Interest. Tho club members are allowed to i bring along their fancy work if they like, and sifter the program is over WO exchange Ideal along that line. We are hoping In the near future to hold a community fair where we will have on exhibit all kinds of can? ned goods, fancy articles und many other things.
