WOMEN'S WORB. If proper credit has not been given within two or three weeks from time of payment, notify us. Also use us promptly of any change in Post Off or address so that there may be no error or delay in delivery of paper. This paper is regularly mailed to its subscribers until a definite order to discontinue is received and the subscription paid in full to the time the order is given. THE rate to the General Association at Danyville will be one and one-third fare plus 25 cents, for the round trip upon the certificate plan. An effort was made to secure one fare for the round trip, but it did not succeed because an attendance large enough could not be assured under the rule. There is a change in the rule this year which will operate against securing reduced rates to these meeting in the future and that is a messengers must pay at least 75 cents in coming before the certificate is available and then the return fare is one-third the regular fare plus 25 cents. This will make it necessary for ministers to obtain certificates instead of using clergy permits if they wish to insure the rates in the future even to the General Association. Last year at Paducah while there were over three hundred in attendance only one hundred and forty seven held certificates and this is the number that the railroads give credit for. Now if one half fare is to be secured in the future, the number of certificates must be increased and they cannot be increased unless ministers will use them instead of using their permits when attending the General Association. If the Moderator of the General Association will call at this office and examine our files he will find that every year since he has been in office this paper has urged increased contributions to the Association for the Educational and Missionary work. But it has been done of our own accord as it was done two weeks ago and not because the Moderator has either requested or suggested it. He has never seemed to feel the need of either the personal or official service of the manager of this paper and what ever service was rendered it has been done because of duty and love for the work. We wish the denominational work abundant success and in our judgment the success would be greater if every department was in closer touch and our good Moderator as the logical leader should lead in the effort to harmonize these differences and not assist in their continuation or enlargement. THE death of Gen. Cassius Marcellus Clay, 'The Sage of White Hall' at his home in Madison Co. Ky. last week removes one of the most noted characters that this state or country ever produced. He belonged to the old school of abolitionists and was as brave a lion in the defense of his views and principles. At the time when it tried men's souls he advocated the abolition of slavery and never ceased the agitation until it was accomplished. He was always one of the best friends the Negro had in this country and on the day of his funeral at Richmond hundreds of them lined the way and shed tears as all that was mortal of this fearless and noble man was laid to rest in mother Earth. Tributes to his memory were adopted in this and other cities by representatives of the race and all bore evidence of the appreci- AMERICAN BAPTIST, FRIDAY JULY 31 1903 ation of his valiant service and deep interest in the oppressed and down trodden everywhere. May he rest in peace. The anonymous letter writer is always a coward and sometimes a fool and falls behind this screen as an assassin either to destroy character or slander the innocent. Lacking in courage, deficient in ability or wanting in integrity he assails the life, motives or actions of those who are always his equals and often his superiors because he lacks in those essentials which recognizes the right of the accused to meet his accusers face to face. The anonymous letter writer is like a snake in the grass creeps upon his victim unawares and thrusts his venomous fangs in the hope that it may poison and destroy without its author being discovered. This class of of people should be severely censured instead of being encouraged by having their slanderous statements examined into by authorities who control public affairs, It is more than they deserve and men in public positions should not be made the prey for these reptiles. --- EVERY church in Kentucky should be represented at the General Association this year and when it is not possible to send messengers, then the church should be represented by letter. This is necessary not alone because the contributions will help support the denominational work, but this is the only way by which the numerical strength of the denomination can be obtained. When churches fail to report the ageregate membership is reduced that much. These blank letters will be sent to any church which has not received them by addressing a request to Rev.P.H.Kennedy, Henderson, Ky. A Word From Brother Adams The time for our meeting at Danville is drawing near, which I hope will be one of the greatest meetings we have ever mad; but I fear not for reasons, properly best known to myself. Some of these reasons all see or seem to see. When some of the leading brethren are divided on the question, as to whether the Woman's Missionary Convention is legally organized, and also as to the necessity of it. This state of affairs, with one more which I shall mention that is the inconsistency in some of the brethren, who were in favor of the Convention were going around to the Institutes and Ministers meetings getting their approval of the Convention to be fortified when the General Association meets. Of course that was their aim and I say it was wise in them if they are conscious they are right, and I don't think I heard it said they were unfair for so doing. But when other brethren who are opposed to the Convention try to fortify themselves for the settling of the same thing in their favor, some claim it to be unfair and unjust. So now I say to the brethren who are in favor if they think the brethren who are opposed have the same rights, all be careful, and pray God for more of his precious blood to cleanse us from the sin our eyes fail to detect in ourselves. If we all do this, the Danville meeting will be what God would have it be. ELKTON, KY. The churches of this place are moving along nicely under their able leaders. The Baptists of this place anticipate beginning on their new structure soon, and when completed will it will be an honor to the denomination. Rev. P. D. Dennis preached two able sermons yesterday and the collection was $141.10. The church also elected messengers to the the First District Association, which convenes at Trenton next week. We will have a rally the first Sunday in August. The Sunnay-school is doing great work. J. W. WADELL. The Knights of Pythias are holding their annual meeting in Paduceh Ky this week. There is a large attendance. The Eighth Annual Session of the Western Negro Press Association will be held in Colorado Springs Col. Aug.4th-6th. There will be no Associational or Conventional meetings in Kentucky next week. Every Baptist will be arranging for the General Association in Danville the following week. The third trial of Caleb Powers charged with the complicity in the Goebel assassination over three years ago will begin in Georgetown Ky. next Monday. Judge Robbins of Mayfield Ky. will preside and it is thought at this time he will have a fair an impartial trial. There are some natural born fools and there are others who from a thirst for notoriety allow themselves to be made fools by those who use them because the fool is of service to them. Yet, neither one of the above fools has learned enough to know that he is being made into a real big fool.—Baptist Reporter. In attending the General Association at Danville Ky. Aug. 12.16 be sure and purchase through ticket to that point and secure a certificate when ticket is purchased. This is the only way reduced rates may be secured. Ministers will do the Association by securing a certificate instead of using clergy permits. --- In attending the General Association at Danville Aug. 12-16 be sure and purchase through ticket to Danville and ask agent for a certificate when ticket is purchased. Every agent is authorized to issue certificate upon application and it is not necessary to have special instructions. It might be well to speak to the agent about the matter in advance so that there may be no trouble. As a result of the work of the Anti-Saloon League there are only twelve of the ninety-six counties in Tennessee in which liquor can be legally sold. This is done largely through the operation of what is known as the 'four mile law,' which torbids the sale of liquor within four miles of a church except in cities of more than five thousand inhabitants Any boy with a common school education, a trade and good morals is assured of success. He need have no fear of the future. The world is looking for young men of this type, waiting to receive them with open arms and welcome them to its best paying positions. Do not waste any more time but prepare yourself for a useful and successful life while you have an opportunity.—The Industrial School Gem. The Kansas City Star has begun successfully the operation of its paper mill, which has been built within the last nine months. The capacity of the mill is forty tons of white paper daily, all of which will be consumed by the Star and its morning edition, the Times. The paper is made from pulp shipped from Canada. There is only one other newspaper in the world that manufactures its own newspaper, the London Telegraph, The minister is dumb indeed who does not know that the young people are a part of\the Church; that they constitute the Church of the future. He should be as much interested in them as in the old people. Ignoring the young people and spending all the time with the old people talking about slavery. old time religion and the fire and the Holy Ghost will not build up the church. The sensible and vigilant pastor will be equally as friendly with both classes. What apostle was that who was commanded by Christ to feed his sheep, and feed his lambs?—Star of Zion.

Our college anniversary was held in the Cadiz Second Baptist Church beginning July 16th and continued until July 19th 'o3. We can well say, the result of this meeting is worthy of more than a passing notice. The able lectures delivered by Drs. P. H. Kennedy in "How to overcome Race Predudice" and W. H. McRiddles on How to create a better telling between the Races" was very instructive. The people said after hearing them it 'is good for us to be here' The sermon by Dr. W. H Leavell from the text "What has thou in thy hand Moses?" was well preached and able production. Rev. A. M. Samuels preached a good sermon from the text, "Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life. Revs S. J. Leavell, D. W. Crenshaw, A M. Samuels and L. W. Willis rendered valuable services by preaching, talking and giving for our work, so did Drs. Kennedy and Leavell, God bless these God sent ministers, he must have sent them' because the devil don't send men to help a good cause. We had a lively Sunday school Sunday morning as usual, Dr. Kennedy and ReA, Samuels seemed to have been at their best on that day. They preached with great power, the people rallied around the tables with great interest and the Sunday night services closed with a cash collection of $150. The brethren are very much incoraged and the have new hopes and new inspiration. Dr. McRidley go on God is with you and we are with you to help build a brick college in Cadiz. Kentucky is the field and you have some strong friends in every city, town and village ready to help you to do work for the Lord and humanity. We pray for you to continue to prosecute your plans and efforts and if you meet with trials and bitter-oppositions it is a sure proof that there is something good in you.

SUNDAY, AUGUST9 DAVID AND GOLIATH. 1 Sam 17:38-49. Motto Text—"If God be to us, who can be against us?" $Rom 8:31 The Philistines lived along the southwestern coast of Palestine. After Soul had dismayed God, it is said "there were so sure war against the Philistines of the days of Soul." The Philistines were camped in the valley of Elam near Shoohoh, some ten miles from Bethlehem. The first part of the chapter relates the challenge of Golith of Cuth, the coming of David to the camp to enquire after his brothers ard to bring them supplies, and his resolve to fight the giant Saul at first naturally hesitated to let a stripling fight the giant. But David had ever a winning way, and the king yielded, tor no one but this young boy offered himself for the fight "And Saul armed David with his armour."—Or rather his "war dress," which was worn under the coat of mail. Over this a coat of mail was placed and a brass helmet put upon his head. "I have not proved them."—He took a little walk and found the armour too heavy. He could only hope to overcome the giant by agility, and besides he was not accustomed to the use of armour. It was not foolhardiness but wisdom which made David go unarmoured to meet Goliath. "He took his staff in his hand." The sling is a very ancient weapon as shown by the Egyptian monuments. As against a sword and spear, provided there was some part of the body unprojected by armour, it was like a revolver against a sabre. David trusted wholly in God for his victor, but he used great wisdom in his choice of a weapon. The advantage was clearly on David's side, having the skill with the sling which he did. We are told there were seven hundred left-handed men of Benjamin who could sling at a hair's breath and not miss. It is probable David carried his staff with him to attract the attention of Goliath, and make the giant think that was the weapon with which he proposed to fight. He would conceal the sling as best he could, for had the Philistines noticed that, Goliath would have guarded his forehead. For the Philistines knew the formidable nature of the sling. And had David been without the staff they would have suspected something in his other hand knowing that the would not come out without some weapon Down to the ravine came the two champions, the man who bore the shield going with the giant. There was no visor to a helmet in those days, but the shields guarded from missiles. Goliath in his contempt for the ruddy boy, did not take his shield from its bearer. A pretty boy in his shepherd's dress comes to meet the famous warrior! No wonder Goliath disdained him. "Am I a dog that thou comest to me with staves?"—The staff in his hand, a weapon which might be useful in driving away a dog. "And the Philistine cursed David by his gods."—He was angry at the insult conveyed by David's supposing he could be driven away with a stick. And if David had had no other weapon than his staff the murderous and coarse threat of Goliath would have been no empty boast. "Thou comest to me with a sword and with a spear and with a shield. The word translated shield means a javelin. These were the things in which the Philistines trusted for victory. David's faith was in his God. "I come to thee in the name of the Lord of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied."—Always and in every-taining David put God first. It was as the armies of the living God that he spoke of the forces of Saul. "This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand." Goliath said "I, David says "God." He considered, and it shows that was the issue, that the trial was between the gods of the Philistines and Jehovah, and David accepts this challenge as Elijah afterwards on Mt. Carmel. God will give a complete victory; not only will Goliath be killed, but the army behind him. "And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth, not with sword and spear." He is not dependent upon such weapons, nor upon force; He can give a signal victory to the weakest. God would guide the stone unerringly to the one small unguarded spot on the giant's head Verse 48 - Then Goliath came on towards his youthful opponent. Without waiting for him, fearing, it may be, that in a moment of caution the giant might take his shield David ran towards the armies' of the Philistines. As he ran his motions would not be observed and even if Goliath had noticed the preparation which David was making he would not have feared. A boy like that could not use a sling so skillfully as to hit the forehead of a man in motion. As he ran David puts the pebble in the sling, and hurling it with faith and prayer, it struck the unguarded spot, and the giant fell to the ground stunned by the blow. But he was not dead and before the astonished Philistines could interfere, David had taken Goliath's own sword and cut off his head. No wonder the Philistines fled; it must have seemed to them that the God of Israel had worked a miracle against their champion. And Israel pursued till a great victory was won, and David's words to Goliath were proved a true prophecy. The lesson of this thrilling story are many. No matter what the seeming power of the evil with which Israel contends, God will give the victory. Each man must do his best, using his best wisdom, but he must know that the battle is God's. LEBANON, KY. I was called as pastor of the First Baptist church here and took charge the first Sunday in April last. I found that the church was in a very bad condition and had been for the last four years I found when I came here 54 orthodox Baptists and I have succeeded in the Name of Christ by adding to that number, 21. I am glad to say that the church is alive both spiritually and financially. We had a small rally July 26, and realized a neat little sum of $67.05. We had two clubs, deacon Frank White and the writer's daughter, Miss Bessie Brown, were presidents of said clubs. Deacon White's club realized $40.05; Miss Brown's clud realizd $27.00 We have a good Sunday-school of 65, F. White, Supt. I moved my family here May 15th. My pray is that peace and harmony may reign at the coming General Association. May the great head of the church bless the great Baptist family throughout Kentucky.
