Poor Richard's
Advice
"Save, young man," said Renjamin Franklin,
"and become respectable and respected. It is
the surest way."
Franklin was one of the wisest men who ever
lived, and he probably did more toward en
couraging thrift among the people at large than
any other man before or after him.
The real greatness of Franklin's sayings lies
in the fact that they are of universal application
and are just as wise today as when they were
first uttered.
We can only commend "Poor Richards"
words to the young people of this community
and remind them that this strong bank pays
\/l per cent compound interest on accounts.
Our booklet, "Why You Should Save," is full
of helpful advice and good ideas from the actual
experience of successful persons.

FAREWELL 10 BUTE
SAX ANTONIO PRESS CLUB HON-
ORED A FAVORITE MEMBER.
Well-known Artist Is Toasted and
Jollied Upon Eve of Departure
to Another Field of
Labor.
Talbot O. Bateman, cartoonist and
artist for The Express during the past
three years and who tomorrow will jom
tho staff of the Fort Worth Star-Tele-
gram in a similar capacity, found out
last night just what his brother members
of the San Antonio Press Club thought of
him. In a farewell luncheon given in his
and Mrs. Bateinan's honor many of the
men who have worked with him and
known him best during his residence here
testified to their regret because of his
departure and wished for him and his
wife all the good things that may be
crowded into life.
It was a delightful affair from start
to end. Joseph Emerson Smith was
toastmaster and in charge of the cere-
monies and he and other speakers did
their best to "get Bateman's goat" in
order that Its owner might take away
with him keen recollections of how the
animal and its master are regarded in
these parts. Something like a score of
talks were made during the dining and
every one of tlicni showed its sincerity in
every tone, and its heartiness in every
syllable- ,, .
The smoker-reception and iarewell took
place in I he Press Club quarters at the
Gunter Hotel anil was attended by many
ladies, ail of whom showed as much in-
terest in everything that was said as dirt
their husbands and brothers and friends.
There was nothing stilted about it. It
was whole-souled and It made Tobe Bate-
man feel again and again the general
regret his departure is to cause.
As master of ceremonies Mr. Smith was
unique in many ways. Under his guid-
ance the talking began before even the
punch was brought on. He had said in
his Introductory remarks that Mr. Bate-
viau does not leave San Antonio in spirit,
rite universal dryness thai prevailed at
it is juncture caused the first speaker to
tespond to ills name to suggest that, per-
haps, Mr. Bateman might be willing to
(h part with some of the spirit, if not in
the spirit. , , ,
Toastmaster Smith uttered the convic-
tion, of all those helping to do honor to
their fellow member when lie said Mr
Bateman's work on The Kxpress had
done a vast benefit not only to ban An-
tonio but for all Southwest Texas. Simi-
lar words of praise mine from the lips or
every speaker. Somi> of those present had
DR. S. J. PORTER OF FIRST BAP-
TIST DISCUSSES SUBJECT.
Minister does Into Causes That Pre-
vent Attendance at Churches.
Can't Choose Their Material
Is His Thought.
At the First Baptist Church last even-
ing Dr. S. J Porter gave the second
in a series of addresses inquiring into
the causes of nonattendance at church.
Tiie subject of this address was "Is the
Fault With the People'.'"
Dr. Porter said:
"Last Sunday evening
qulry into the reasons \ .
hers of people do not attend religious
services it was found that the ehurch
Itself is not altogether free from de-
fection in this matter, but as Simon
Peter asks, 'if judgment begins at the
house of God. what shall be the endt of
them that obey not the Gospel?' Alter
all the faults of the church have been
probed and it.u failings pointed out the
fact still remains that the large majority
of those who do not go to church stay
away because of something within their
own hearts and lives as much as any
reasun within the church itself. Full
of the Adam nature people still show the
tendency to shackle the blame to some-
body or something other than self. But
if we will look at this other apple a
moment we will find upon it the finger
marks of the man who loves to blame
others. Even the print of his teeth are
in it, and we can hear the smack of his
lips over the imaginary sweetness in
neglected duty.
"The church and its claims upon every
man are not mere Incidentals In human
life. They supply an ever-present and
ever-pressing necessity. The religious
nature is a vital part of the man and
cannot be destroyed even if neglected.
It may be impoverished, but its demands
cannot be silenced. A man consists of
body, soul and spirit. He who lives al-
together In the realm of the bodily na-
ture lives in the basement of his being.
The spiritual is the highest chamber
from which the man looks out upon the
whole horizon of heavenly things, nor
does tho man really begin to live until
lie ascends Into this loftiest apartment
and looks upon things that are heavenly.
The worshiping faculty in the man Is
as real as his other faculties, and Is the
crown and climax of them all. His other
faculties find their answer and meet

known Mr. Bateman when both he and
they were callow and generally unused
to the way of things as they are now.
Many had known him just a few years,
or a'few months. "He's a jolly good fel-
low" rose to every lip, however, and
shone in every eye.
It was the toastmaster's idea that every
speaker discuss some particular part ot
"Bateman's goat." To George D. Armis-
teail was assigned tho "bleat," for in-
stance. Carl Runge got the whiskers.
John Broga.ii won .the ^l^teh^he {^"S^'in'thls World. The voice has
-aid, was a yard wide-
tarried out through the entire taiklest,
speeches having been made by Louii l>e-
Nette, Allen Merriam, J. B. Butler,
Robert Scott Israel, Charles M. Barnes,
J. Frank Davis. Ray Hare, R. G. Coul-
ter, Olaf Johnson, Charles G. Norton,
A B. Ilillati, George A. Schreiner.
Then the "goat" was given a chance to
"bleat." Plainly embarrassed by llie
tributes of his friends, Mr. Bateman
voiced his and Mrs. Bateman's regret
over their departure from this city. The
kindness of San Antonlans generally and
of members of the Press club particu-
larly. lie said, would be a green spot In
the memories of both of them as long as
they live. He was applauded w ith vim as
he arose to speak and was given other
noisy signs of approval as lie proceeded.
At' tills psychological moment J, B.
Butler caught the attention of the toast-
master's eye and read, amid much laugh-
ter and many plaudits, this original little
verse, which he had scribbled off on
borrowed paper and with borrowed pen-
cil while Bateman was talking.
The Press Club had a little goat,
It's fleece was white as snow;
Bui now the Press Club grieves bccause
That goat has got to go.
The Press, Club had a little goat,
We fondly hoped to iot it,
But now, alas, we mourn because
Fort Worth has gone and got It.
Somebody started friendship's dearest,

were distending their chests with tho
notes of "Auld Lang Syne,"

For auld lang syne—

whole affair was a spontaneous and
hearty display of friendship and was as
thoroughly enjoyed by those who gave it
as it could have been by those who re-
celved it.

SHOULD ATTBND CHURCH.
"Since this Is so it Is a mistake even
from a selfish standpoint to stay away
from tho place of worship. In it alone
is found the noblest inspiration and the
highest joy. He Is his own bitterest
enemy who sleeps or dissipates or plays
during the church hour. The law of
gravity has no more power in his life
than the law which declares, "I'hou shalt
worship the Lord thy God. The non-
church goer makes here his fatal mis-
take. If he stays away from the house
of worship there is no provision made
to occupy its place. Anything which he
allows to prevent his church attend-
ance Is the destroyer of that which is
most vital to his own welfare both here
and hereafter. Every man has an inborn
desire after God, and this desire is the
center of his very soul. He may abuse
and weaken It, but lie does so at his
peril. He who stifles the cry of his
soul for God Is a soul-murderer, ft
is not infidelity which keeps man away
from the church. His objections to the
church are but flimsy excuses. That
which keeps people from the ehurch is
blindness to their highest good and an
indifference which is born and nurtured
in the darkness. The non-church going
man does not wake up on Sunday morn-
ing. Strange! Since he wakes up on
every other morning. He does not wak«
up; he sleeps; he forgets: he misunder-
stand..; he lazily dreams that he Is rest-
ing, God speaks; conscience calls, but
the man does not hear, and his loss Is
tievond all measure, The late Sunday
morning sleep Is often the sleep of death,
as with him who, exhausted and over-
come with cold, sinks down to sleep In
tho snow, never to awake, never to arise.
"A man does not solve the problem by
saying that he has lost respect for the
church and for the minister. So much
the worse for him who says such things.
Some say, 'We do not care for the
church, but we do care for Christ,' but
th's statement, whenever made, is not.
true As an excuse It ma? furnish tem-
porary relief to a disturbed conscience,
tint It is not the r»nl reason for the
neglect of one of life's highest duties
Every true and truthful man In his best
moments of clearest thought does respect
the church and does respect the manly
minister who in the fear of God seeks
the welfare of his fellows. Every honest,
self-respecting man recognizes the great,
unselfish work of the church. He knows
well enough that Its faults are only
upon the surface, and that Its Inner life,
when all has been said, Is for his good
nnd for the good of his fellow men.
There may be human marks upon the
church, hut In Its essential features It
does hear a likeness to Its Lord.
CAN'T PICK MATERIAL.
"Concerning the faults of the church
there Is tills to lie said: Clubs and fra
ternal organizations can pick their ma-
terial. Hie church cannot. It must take
In all sorts and conditions of men and
bus i special call to seek out and draw
In the most abandoned and lost. The
church blackballs no candidate however
poor, ignorant or seemingly unworthy.
All that is asked is that he confess his
helplessness and unworthlness. And so
the church takes In the broken ones, the
w«sk ones, as well as the good and
i strong It Is Indeed a miracle of the
1 grace i.f God that so many do live worthy
lives and that (he church Is really as
! free from faults as it is. But It must
1 he home in mind that the church does
I not lav claim to perfection. Its hope and
I joy are in the faultless and holy Savior,
j "But It is tills very attitude of mercy
I and sympathy toward the erring that
lays tiie church open lo criticism at the
hands of the very people whom the
church seeks to help. It Is really pathe-
tic and distressing that the church Is
thus generally misunderstood. Large
numbers of people stay away from the
church because they do not understand
the nature of Its mission. The church is
the mightiest factor in human society,
but Its work has to do first and funda-
mentally with the soul. It ought and
does care for the body, and touches
every part of human society, but Its first
mission is to the soul. Its gospel is
deliverance from sin and hell first. The
man of the World has often misunder-
stood this important distinction between
the church and his lodge or club. He
lias condemned the church because it did
not do Just what ills organization did, as
If they bad entered into competition and
were supposed to do the same thing, and
only that. The church fosters charity,
education, phllantrophy and culture, but
primarily it is and must be the place
of regeneration and conversion and eter-
nal salvation. It has in its purpose ihe
subject of human society and the mak-
ing of life hi tills present world more
desirable, but this Is Incidental. II re-
mains true that the purpose of Christ
and Ills coming into the world was to
bring eternal salvation to the lost. The
crucifixion of tlie Son of God would
never have taken place for purely tem-
poral benefit. It is a mockery of Ills
sacrifice and a sad perversion to teach
thai the church ought lo have most to
lb with tH- life and the passing neccn.
slties of the individual and his society.
Tli emphasis upon Ihe present at the
expense of tiie future has wrought un-
told Injury and Injected a poisonous
mlsunderstading In the tnlnds and hearts
of men. The church has a social mis-
sion, but It has first a saving mission.
Yesterday mor.dng In Laurel Heights
Methodist Church, the pastor, J. V.
Young, delivered a thoughtful and force-
ful sermon on the topic ''Common Hon-
esty " Tiie text for Ihe occasion, "pro-
vide things honest in the sight of al!
men," was selected from Rom. xii, IT-
Mr. Young said in part;
"Honesty Is the best policy. Indeed this
is an ancient adage, and is quite accept
able to many people, but he who acts
solely from a sense of policy is in reality
a dishonest man and is acting tlie part
ot honesty solely for remuneration, and
so far as I am concerned, 1 absolutely re-
fuse to accept a man's honesty who is
prompted to act for policy's sake. This
character of man Paul terms a hypocrite,
i uie who aois one thins when in reality
he Is another, purely is an actor. Honesty-
policy, they are as far apart in principle
as the poles.
"Common honesty Is like common, old-
fashioned horse sense. It Is always at a
high premium, ami consequently is In
great demand. Common honesty is that
sort of honesty without which til other
honesty is dishonesty, and the plea tl at
1 rake is not for uncommon, conspicu-
ous, monumental honesty—n it the kind of
honesty that gets advertised in the
magazines and current literature, talked
about In the streets or proclaimed from
the housetops,' but just plain, common,
every-day, old-fashioned honesty, not for
policy's sake, nor any other consideration,
but the simple lact it is rignt.
RIGHT VIEW OF HONESTY.
"A right view of common honesty was
held by the slave boy who was lying upon
the block to be executed. A kind-hearted
man, wishing to save ills lifo, saio:
If I purchase you and spare your life,
will you be an honest boy?' The brave
lad's eyes flashed and he replied: 'Sir. 1
am an honest boy whether you save me
or not.' .
"We are greatly in need of this kind
of honesty In tho ordinary business at
fairs of this life. We are living In the
money-mad of uie worlds mstoi>.
Many men believe they must make money
regardless of the principle Involved, uet-
rieh-qulck schemes are multiplying daily
It is seeking with all the resources it
can command to perform both these mis-
sions. ,.
"FIRST THINGS FIRS I.
"Let us keep first things first. The
lodge has its place of benefit In society,
but woe be to the man who allows
it to usurp the place of the church, i hey
are not on the same level, and nevei
can he. The open Bible on the alt a i
of a lodge room «an never take the place
of the open Bible in the pulpit, which
stands In the shadow of the cross and
from which is constantly proclaimed,
'Behold the latnb of God, which taketll
awav the sin of the world.' i hrist came
to teach men how to live in relation to
each other, but he came first to teach
them how to live in right relation to
God. The evils of society are to lie
corrected as the life of the Individual
man Is corrected by redeeming grace.
The church will correct the wrongs of
society by redeeming, strengthening
and sending out individuals into society.
The good Samaritan did not Ret after
the robbers with a shotgun, but looked
afterthe wounded and ie-lpless man by
the wayside. And there is a misunder-
standing regarding the methods of the
church, particularly the financial cle-
ment. Many people do not come to
church because they object to collec-
tions,' and vet these same people criti-
cise the church for not taking care of
the poor and doing other very expensive
work which calls tor money. The, church
may say to all outside of its member-
ship *^'e want not yours, but you,
Sone sav they cannot afford church
life To 'all such the ministrations and
privileges of well uigli every church In
this land are gladly extended without
money and without price. Stinginess
keeps some people from coming to
church; poverty coupled with a false
self-respect keeps others from coming
"The man outside of the church has
also a misunderstanding of society Itself
which results 111 his becoming cynical
and sour, not only against society, but
against Ihe church and other Institu-
tions, Some false statements have been
made about the church, and he has
readily believed them without investigat-
ing their truth. Ills Ideas concerning
riches and poverty, concerning monopo-
lies and modern business methods have
had much to do with the destruction of
Ills own happiness and ambition. As a
result of this element of social grievance
and misunderstanding the church has
often been sadly affected, hvory rich
ma. ought not to be cursed and every
poor man ought not to be snubbed. Many
ii time when a rich man has I if
deninod, either Justly or unjustly, the
church which he attends is condemned
with liim. Now the man who does not
attend church and gives that as his
reason misunderstands both social con-
ditions and the church as well,
CHURCH NOT RESPONSIBLE.
"The church does not create these con-
ditions nor does It uphold them. Our |
l/ird himself refused to be drawn Into
a profitless conflict over material mat-
ters about which men differed and which
under a sense of Justice they should have
settled among themselves by saying,
'Man, who made me a divider over on
The church, with regard to all these
questions, can but reiterate the teachings
of the Master, its message to the poor
nnd file rich alike Is a message ot love
lustlce and mercy. It calls men of all
classes to bow at the feet of Jesus and
there make peace and enter Into n broth-
erhood of arbitration. No man Is con-
demned simply because he is rich. No
man is condemned simply because he u
poor The heart of both must I"- right
before God. Then the difficulties be-
tween them can be settled amicably mi
one occasion It Is said that when the
Pharisees, 'who were lovers of money,
heard all these things they scoffed at
him. The Greek word means literally
•they turned up their nose' at htm. And
so today many who do not like the
teachings of Christ are inclined to do the
same thing. But in doing this they do
not settle the difficulties. The Gospel
furnishes the only adequate relief for
all the problems that separate men Into
castes and classes. But this relief can
not be applied violently. We do not
want 'to blow all our existing Institu-
tions to atoms,' but we do want to
remold every one of them after the
Gospel idea. A tank of gasoline can
blow a, car sky high In a single ex-
plosion, or push it to the top of a hill
In a perpetual succession of little ex-
plosions. The Gospel Is like leaven,
and not like gun powder. It makes
progress slowly and surely The church
I cannot enter into labor disputes or busi-
ness methods by any other means than
the propagation of the three great laws
which govern christian society: The law
of service, the law of sacrifice and
the law of love,
"There is need that the atmosphere be
cleared of misunderstandings with re-
gard to the church and its mission. On
behalf of the churches an appeal is
made that those who do not attend the
services come and place themselves In
UII attitude to receive such blessings
as mav he offered. After all has been
s:lid it must be admitted that It Is sin
which keeps men from Hod and from
the ministrations in the house of God,
It Is sin. paralyzing and deadly. For
this sin the only remedy and corrective
is th" grace and saving power of Christ,
and these In the name of the Master are
offered by the church whose services
are sadly neglected by those who are
most needy."

facilitate business coming out of that
section of the San Antonio territory, l'or
a long time the Chamber of Commerce
of this city has at various times taken
up the matter of an additional train with
the Southern 1'ac.flc management, arid
there was some correspondence relative
to increased service.
As the result of the semi-official an-
nouncement of the company regarding
the new train, President Charles (iriieb-
ner of the Chamber of Commerce Is very
much gratified, knowing how business
liitfTPStH will profit- All wholesale' and
lobbing houses having traveling men
covering that territory see where a
great deal of valuable time Is going
to be saved in canvassing that, terri-
tory. Nol only that, it will give Ihe
business men of the smaller towns an
earlier mall delivery out of San An-
tonio, and that Is what they have been
asking for a long time.
The movement for this additional
Service was started a long time ago, and
the Chamber ot Commerce officers nre
pleased to learn that the company liax
decided to put on the other train, the
exact date, however, lias not yet been
announced.
