THE USE OF
THE TALENTS
MATTHEW'S PARABLE REAL
IZED AT BAPTIST CHURCH.
Gieat Results from Thousand Nick
els Which Were Distributed Among
Congregation Duilug December.
Each Five-Cent Piece Was Invested
by Person to Whom It Was En
tiusted and In Some Cases as High
as 950 Was the Amount to Which
the Sum Grew.
A unique !eivlcc was conducted at
the I'enn Avenue Baptist church last
night, when the members of the chutch
returned the nickels distributed aiuomr
them on the last Sunday In 1900, each
coin having Inoieast'd all the way from
ten to one thousand fold, Fiom the
J.'O distributed, al(out Sl,3r0 was t enl
isted. Six hundred dollars )a netted
by tho ladles of the congregation's
rummage sale, nnd the total sum, to
gether with some outstanding personal
pledges, will give a total of over $2,000
to the church.
The Idea of this "talents setvlco" was
prompted by the parable In Matthew
Sli, of the three men, who wete given
live, two and one talents apiece, and
at the end of the year btought them
back to the .Master, the lltst two with
their talents doubled, but the last with
only the oilglnnl sum. In December.
K. S. Williams ptesented the church
with K0, one thousand blight new live
cent pieces, illicit fiom the mint.
These weie placed lu envelopes and
dlsti United throughout the congrega
tion, Hev. Dr. l'letce imitating the
ii.i ruble of Matthew und bidding bis
licateis see what lesults they could
derive fiom their talents. Last night's
contilbutlous showed bow the humble,
little nickels Increased their dimen
sions, In some wise jr.o, $10, $"0 and
other large nums being acquired.
PAItAMLi: OK Tin: talhnts
The services weie lifgun about o
o'clock by the choir singing an anthem,
after which Dr. Pierce lead the liar
able of the talent". He commented
upon the meaning of the rinlplutv, and
then discussed the local talent fund.
Ho mentioned that MOO had boon re
alized at the iiimmnge sale, and spok"
In terms of the highest commendation
of the ladles whose earnest etideiivois
made It 11 success-.
Prayer was offeied dm lug the sei
vlcc by Deacons IliRhlleld and Stelle,
and sevetal uynin weie sung. Dr.
Pletce then announced that all pies
ent should deposit their talent arreting
III the envelopes, especially piovldeil
and then tile up the nlsles and leave
them upon u table in fiont of the pul
pit. At 11 given signal, eveiyone lose
and then the long line of men, iomen
and children Hied down the center
aisle, each placing an envelope upon
the table. The board of liuitecs and
Treasurer .1. W. Drowning were left
lu the nudltoilum to count the contil
buttons, while all others adjourned to
the church pailots, whei,e a t-oclal time
was enjoyed.
A large number of persons nun tiled
their method of Investing the talentn,
and tho majority of thee weie to s-ny
the least unique. They ranged all the
way fiom economizing on stteet uir
faro H" sawing wood, and from selling
lead pencil to making doughnuts.
Airs. It. V. Y. Pierce, the wife of the
pastor, proved the most successful
worker, her etiorts bringing in ."0, the
original talent thu humming: one
thousand fold. A l.uge umoiiut was
teallzed by the sale of homo uudo
cakes and candles.
One youth nt vers telldel e.us, who
undoubtedly has the e.iiin.iiks of a fu
ture Plerpont M01g.n1. Invented his
nickel in live penny lend pencils, which
he sold nt five cents up.eei.. and then
purchased a new stock. lie gradually
branched out and carried a supply of
pens also, as a lestilt of which Ills tal
ent otfeilng amounted to $12.
A young lady of the congiegiitlon
realized Sl.SO by sawing wood for her
parents. She forestalled the man who
comes to the butj; door seeking and se
curing the contract, handed lu the tc-
suits as part of her talents contilbu
tlon. THIS MAN WALKKD.
(.'heersof uppiovalgieeted a man who
stood up and declared that pint of his
contribution consisted of the nickels
which he had saved by balking the
street car company and walking to and
from his business place. One young
lady Increased her talent over one bun
dled fold by utilizing her nickel to pur
chose a quantity of peanuts. Theso
she shelled, nnd salted and sold at a
geneious ptofll. The lesttlts of the
(list sale went town ids tho purchase
of more peanuts, and $.".10 was the
sum total which the small boys delight
brought lu.
Another maiden invested lu five
cents worth of sugar and by deft use
of the proper mateilals turned out
soipo toothsome confectloncty, -which
became so popular that nn even $3
was realized. A peeullaily tasty cooky
wus turned out lu great numbeis by
ono of the ladles of the congtegatlon
and about $2.1 biougbt in.
Others bought cloth with their mlg
Inal talents, and made and sold aprons.
A partneishlp was foimed by a pretty
girl and her swain, and their two nick
els was the capital which stinted a
pop-corn making concern, which netted
over $10. Doughnuts weie another of

STRIKERS NOW
ASK FOR AID
APPEALS SENT OUT YESTERDAY
BY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
Treasury of Textile Workeis Has
Been Thinning Since the Begin
ning of Strike and Aid Is Now Pe
titioned of Labor Unions nnd In
dividuals Attempt Was Made
Yesteulay Afternoon to Mob the
Hands Woilting at Valentino Bliss'
Dickson Mill.
The e.eeiille committee of the slllk
lug silk woikeis yeterda prepaicd
appeals for aid, which weie mulled to
the various labor unions mid to Indi
vidual citizens. The strike has been
lu piogtess for n mouth now, and the
textile wotkeio' slim tic.istuy has been
dally thinned until matteis have ar
llved at a cilsls when petitioning for
aid has become a necessity.
About twenty of Ihe gills on stiike
ot Dickson, were itunored to havo
leiuined to woi k yesterday at
Valditlne Hllss' mill. The mai
ler was icpoited at headquurleis and
eieated a good deal of discussion. A
few hands an Mtlll winking at the
Pel ei. -burg mill, but they me all young
boys, none of the girN continuing at
their loll. At the Sauquolt nil Is quiet,
the trouble dining the e.uly pail of Ihe
week liming caused the inaniigement
to decide to inuke 110 futther effoit
at inning the factory and piovoklng
more trouble.
A few of the sti liters wei at the
mill yestctdny morning but ns none of
the hands icttirned. there was no dls
ttiib.tiice of any natuie. Nothing fur
ther has been he-nd of Ihe settlement
t. liked of during the early part of the
week, and both stilkets nnd operators
ileclnio that theic arc no prosper Is In
sight of 11 settlement.
Superintendent W. II. Davis, of the
Sauquolt mill, left for New Yoil; es
teiday afternoon, on Impottmit busi
ness, the exact nottue of which has not
been stilled. A meeting of the Sim
quoit hrird silk woikers was held yes
terday afternoon In Parpenteis' hall.
The Hist outbieak at Valentine llllss'
Dlekson mill oecittred about r.'!0 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. About twenty
hands are ntlll working at the factory,
the mujoilty of vihoin me men. When
they left the winks they were greeted
by ti mingled mob of small boys, nu'ii
and striking girls.
Cites rd "scab" and "blackleg" lllled
the air nnd s'onei and snow ballr were
thrown nt the workers. The latter,
however. In no ways daunted, charged
the crowd fiercely and It Is said that
lu the melee which followed they moie
than held their own. Only one of the
sti Iking girls participated In the vio
lence. Mr. llllss was untitled of the trouble
and visited the mill last evening. Wotk
will be losunicrt this morning. The
pail of Ihe mill which Is being worked
was leased some time ago by Mr. iillss
to a tenant, mid as landlord he Is now
under contract to supply tho power to
keep the looms working. This accounts
for the attempt to operate at Dlekson
while the other llllss niTlls me Idle.
The Ullss mill sttlkcrs have changed
their meeting place and wilt heieafter
meet at St. Mary's hull on Vet Mar
ket stieet Tuesday nights.
