endorse tuber
culosis day
Many Prominent Clergymen and
Laymen Endoree Tuberculosis
Day—Will be Observed
Locally.
Statements of opinion approving
Tuberculosis Day, which will be ob-
served on or about April 30th, from
prominent clerical, medical and lay
authorities were issued today in the
form of a bulletin by the National
Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of Tuberculosis. Among
those who have endorsed the move-
ment are His Eminence, Cardinal
Gibbons and several Roman Catholic
bishops, many prominent bishops of
the Protestant Episcopal Church,
several denominational and interde-
nominational societies, Doctors S.
Adolphus Knopf and Lawrence F.
Flick, Hon. Champ Clark, many
prominent clergymen and others.
Champ Clark in a letter to the
National Association, says: "I am
in deep sympathy with the move-
ment which your Association is doing
so much to forward. We cannot
learn too much about the dread
scourge, for we cannot intelligeutly
fight that which we do not thorough-
ly understand. Knowledge is power.''
Rev. Dr. S. Parkes of Brooklyn,
says: "I sincerely trust that your
war on tuberculosis will prosper. It
ii a real war and should have the
support of every right minded citi-
zen and of all our churches of every
kind. We remember with great
pleasure and equal profit the tuber-
culosis day of 1910."
The Right Rev. John Scarborough,
Bishop of New Jersey of the Pro-
testant Episcopal Church commends
the movement and speaks of the
literature prepared for the use of
clergymen in these words: ,4I am
greatly interested in the effort to
check the spread of tuberculosis by
using 'the ounce of prevention' in
time. Your circular of information
is so admirable that I want every
clergyman in the diocese of New
Jersey to receive one."
The Right Rev. W. H. Moreland,
Protestant Episcopal Bishop of Sac-
ramento, writes: "I pledge my
hearty support and that of the clergy
of this diocese to the movement for
the prevention of tuberculosis."
Dr. S. Adolphus Knopf of New
York, the well known authority on
tuberculosis, in a statement issued
for the occasion says : "I venture to
say that not in a few instances, as a
result of tuberculosis sermons having
been preached by pastors, priests,
rabbis, or even only physicians, much
good has resulted, not only because
of the education of congregations in
the preventive measures, but because
of the interest aroused for the con-
sumptive poor. I know that many
an unfortunate sufferer is indebted
for the amelioration of his condition
or for his cure to a sermon preached
on tuberculosis."
Dr. Lawrence F. Flick of Phila-
delphia, the widdy known Philadel-
phia expert on tuberculosis, says:
"The work of stamping out tuber-
culosis is in such perfect harmony
with the spirit of religion that it is
but natural to ask the ministers of
religion to co-operate by giving the
use of their church organizations for
the educational part of the campaign.
Not until all the people have gotten
a clear conception of what tuber-
culcsis means and of what is neces '
sary for its extermination will it be
! possible to inaugurate all the meas-
J ures for prevention which Science
has demonstrated as practicable and
feasible. Knowledge must come be-
fore action is possible and there is
no agency on earth through which
knowledge can be so quickly and so
efficiently extended to all the people
as through the churches."
In connection with the above we
will state that at a meeting of the
local pastors of Hereford, Saturday
afternoon, it was agreed that one
Sunday would be devoted here as
Tuberculosis Day. The Baptist
minister. Rev. J. W. Boyd, was
chosen to preach the sermon for the
day, which will be the fourth Sunday
night in May. The discourse will
be given at the Presbyterian church,
and as it is a union affair there will
oe services at no other church.
Rev. Boyd has made arrangement
to secure quite exhaustive literature
on the subject, and will devote the
coming weeks to much study, so
those that make plans to attend this
service may be sure te hear many
important facts concerning the
disease, its ravages and the many
courses being taken to lesson and
prevent.

Observe the Day With Appro-
priate Special Programs.
Easter among the churches is al-
ways a day of rejoicing: the day
above all days when christian people
should proclaim to the world by word
and song the risen Lord ; the day oq
which we receive afresh the promise
of the glorified Son, the Redeemer
of all races. We shall sleep, yes,
but as "the lily unfolds itself out of
its own waste and decay," so shall
we be triumphant in a final awaken-
ing, a resurrection with our Lord.
the presbyterian church.
A large and appreciative crowd
assembled at the Presbyterian church
Sunday to hear the pastor, Rev. W.
M. Baker's discourse on Proofs of
the Ressurection. The sermon,
which was a good one, was prefaced
by a number of well selected Easter
anthem sung by the choir.
Miss Beulah Potter also contribut-
ed to the song service by a vocal
solo pleasingly rendered with her
sister. Miss Bianche, a? accompanist.
J Miss Potter has recently returned
i from school at Waco and her many
j friends were glad to welcome her
home and enjoyed hearing her sweet
voice again.
The spirit of the day pervaded the
congregation and in consequence of
that fact a gracious service was had.
of all that had gone before, a real
soul awakening in which the large
audience was lifted by the g'orious
sentiment of the music into the realms
eternal. The college, the Christian
church, and all Hereford are appre-
ciative of Miss Rhone in her rich
musical talent, and in her ability to
direct others. Several from other
churches very kindly assisted Miss
Rhone, and to these we express our
sincere thanks, especially to Mr.
Curtis, who came in from the coun-
try to all rehearsals.

In observance of Easter quite an
interesting program of songs and
readings were given by the Sunday
school at the Methodist church.
The church service was a most im-
pressive one. The sermon on "The
Resurrection," by Rev. Sherman
was beautiful and convincing. The
following musical program was an
inspiration to all who heard it.

While no elaborate preparations
had been made by the Baptist bretb-
ern for the Easter Sunday, it was a
good day with them, and a large at-
tendance greeted Rev. Boyd at both
the morning and the evening service.
At the morning service the pastor
ably discussed "The Priesthood of
Christ," the text being taken from
the fourth chapter of Hebrews, and
a solo was enjoyed by all those pre-

tractions of the Hereford country.
Taking Mr. Moore's car the party
proceeded out to the McDonald irri-
gated farm. One of the first wells
to be brought in was pumping about
1500 gallons per minute, of the pure
water for which the Hereford coun-
try has become famous. The big
well was not in operation, yet the
land and the work of the different
pumping plants made a deep im-
| pression on our visitor and elicited
| many favorable comments as to th<*
future of the country. Mr Hender-
son said he had not seen such pros-
j pects for guaranteed crops any where
| in the state. The big Century plow,
in fact every phase of the work,
seemed to be intensely interesting to
the visitor.

Wednesday morning after a short

giving the children lor seven long

been a joy to some of the high school
pupils to have been a witness while
