McCrary, Metropolis, Illinois, Dear Sir:- Reporter. In the effort to better my condition in the battle of life I have decided the pastorate of the Mt. Zion Baptist church of Peoria, Illinois, and accept the pastorate of The Pilgrim Rest Baptist church of St. Paul, Minnesota. It is the plan to begin my work there December 1, 1914. It is with regret that I leave this church where for eight years the success attending our efforts has been phenominal. The relation between myself and the church has been the admiration of the whole city. In going to the capital of Minnesota, the opportunities for expansion on my part are better. The two cities (St. Paul and Minneapolis) have a population of more than 500,000. Pilgrim Baptist church double that of Mt. Zion Baptist church in strength. The salary offered is $100,00 a month with which to begin And to my very great satisfaction, this new field will place me at the very doors of The University of Minnesota, and The Baptist College. Of both it is my aim to avail myself. Only one time was I ever in that great city. But on that trip enough was seen to lead me to have a favorable impression of the people of the city. The congregation that make up Pilgrim church is the most cultured as expressed in the public service I ever saw. Since it has been my privileged to visit the Negro churches in 28 states of the Union evidently the opinion regarding Pilgrim Baptist church of St. Paul is of some moment. I owe a debt of graditutde to the people of Vienna, and its public schools; to Southern Illinois, and the Negro Baptist: to Mt. Zion Baptist church of Peoria and to Central Illinois Negro Baptist. With regret myself and wife leave the state. But the opportunity came. We accepted it. We shall go on Nov. 30, after just eight years spent in this city. To our friends, of Southern Illinois, we wish to speak from time to time through the Gazette. Till that time we bid you adieu. Yours respectfully, B. N.

It took ‘three months to complete the pictures ‘and the cost was enormous. ‘The story of the play, in brief, is this: Annette is the daughter of Fa ther Neptune, and he and his 40 other daughters are seen disporting themselves in the water. Annette and her little sister, Angela, are caught ina net. Annette escapes, but \Angela is dragged ashore, hidden in ‘seaweed, and is wounded on the rocks. Annette finds her dying and swears vengeance on the fishermen. Ob- ‘taining a charm which will transform her into a girl, she sets out to pun- 4sh those responsible for her sister's death. After a long series of adventures, ‘in which the king who rules over the fishermen falls in love with her, she Joses the charm and has to remain a girl and becomes the queen of the handsome young king who, with the help of Annette, has overthrown a vusurper to his throne. Dramatic Escape. Mlle. Gabrielle Robinne was once called upon to make a dramatic es cape from 4 castle in which she had been imprisoned, for a film. The cas tle, surrounded by a mont, was searched for a small window which ‘would suit the purpose. At last one ‘was found and the actress assumed her position within for the rehearsal. ‘The boat of rescuers put off across the moat, the rope ladder was thrown up and the hooked end duly caught ‘upon the sill. In due course, the her- eine appeared at the window, bent upon her escape. The bars, which hhad been improvised for the purpose, ‘were removed, and the prisoner thrust her shoulders through the aperture. But she became wedged half-way. One of the party below scaled the Inder and endeavored to assist her from the strange predicament, while on the inner side two other actresses lent assistance. \\ M§e. Robinne was unable to extend any personal assist ance, being convulsed with laughter. At last, after considerable prizing, pushing and tugging, she came through with a bewildering sudden- ness. The man on the ladder was Precipitated into the moat, while the actress tumbled unceremontously into the waiting boat, the trio below break- ing her fall slightly, though she struck ‘one of the seats somewhat violently. + Where He Made His “Hit.” ‘When a large and agile lion escaped ‘at the Selig Jungle-Zoo several months ego, Lee Morris, an extra, garbed as a bold knight, sizzled through the am- Dient atmosphere of the grounds for the distance of a half mile. He found ‘the lion there when he arrived. There. upon Lee turned around and went right back again, breaking the world’s record which he had established but a few seconds before. Manager Thomas Persons laughed so hard they had to resuscitate him with a pail of water. ‘He engaged Morris as a regular mem- ber of the comedy company immed. ately. This explanation will enlighten the comedian, for the first time, as to the real reason for his engagement. ‘Strong Cast in “Hearts and Masks.” With Kathlyn Williams in the title role, and Charles Clary as Galloping Dick of MacGrath's delightful “Hearts end Masks,” the multiple reel special 4s on its way for a big run, according to indications. Director Colin Camp bell has double braced every purtion of the photo play structure. Wheeler Oakman plays the other victim of the ten-spot of hearts while Eugenie Bes serer, the French emotional actress portrays Mrs. Hyphen-Bonds. The film fairly sparkles with rare comedy while there {s an all-pervading mys tery hanging over it from beginning tc final denouement. “Sands of Fate” Strong Film. Dorothy Gish is featured in “Sands ‘of Fate,” a strong two-reel drama pro- sduced by Donald Crisp. An act of wwelf-sacrifice on the part of a husband when he empties his water bottle on @ burning desert so that he will not ‘be in the way of his wife marrying the man of her cholce 1s one of the ‘features of this production. Robert arron, R. A. Walsh and Cora Drew ‘are principals in the cast. Identified With “Mother” Roles. Rose Tapley, well-known Vitagraph screey performer, plays primarily “mother” roles. During her film actiy- fity she has played such roles over a (thousand times. New Comedy in Preparation. “The Mysterious Black Box” { the title of a novel comedy written by W.

Ned Finley, one of the Vitagraph Mirectors, believes in realisia and ak ways makes every effort to inject substantial thrills in his pletures, often going to the extreme limit of caution. In a very recent film story on which he was at work, he en- gaged the services of a sharpshooter, whose duty was to make a “hit” as close to the director as he dared. The scene of the picture shows Mr. Finley shooting from a dismantled barn with bullets splintering the wood within a few inches of his body, Jn the same picture, Mr. Finley falls from a horse and rolls down an em- bankment. The first time he essayed the fall, it was so realistic that a new camera man became so interest ed in its sensational realism he neg- lected to film the scene, A second attempt, the next day, was spoiled by a spectator, who, thinking Mr. Finley was hurt, rushed in front of the camera, The third time was successful, so far as the actual tak- ing of the scene was concerned, but Mr. Finley, in his headlong descent down the embankment, failed to no- tice a tree stump and a collision re- sulted in a very much bruised direc- tor, but a happy one, because of his Tealistic ambitions being fully real ized. Stare in a New Play. Blanche Sweet is featured in “For Her Father's Sins,” a two-eel film play produced by Jack O'Brien. In the production is told how a college girl, daughter of a wealthy, miserly department store owner, leaves her home and works under an assumed Ci a yg / al “ar lg \7a ; ——g oy ee .

As the result of her investigations, she forces her father to increase the wages of his employees and incident- ally saves him from being killed by a dissatisfied workman. A pretty ro- mance is woven into the production. Wallace Reid, Billie West and Al Fillson have prominent parts. The scenario was written by Anita Doos, New Series of Plays. Four new series of photoplays by prominent authors afe announced for future presentation. Each play will be complete in itself, treating an indt- vidual incident. “Below the Dead Line,” by Scott Campbell, will be a detective series; “Young Lord Stran- leigh,” adapted from the stories by Robert Barr, which appeared in a well-known weekly, will be produced in four two-reel subjects; “Olive’s Op- portunities,” written especially for motion pictures by Mrs. Wilson Wood- row, and “The Girl Who Earns Her Own Living,” by Mark Swan, are the other future serial plays. Mevel Mevine Pidtere. A novelty in motion picture presen- tation fs promised in the forthcoming moving picture, entitled “The Bache lor’s Baby,” a comedy drama, in which two tiny children take the lead- ing parts. The story deals with a wealthy girl's financial ruin, her fight to support herself as a governess, and her final reconciliation to her former sweetheart through the children she cares for. Hoosier Poet Seen in Films. An interesting future Selig produc tion is a drama based on James Whit- comb Riley's famous first poem, “The Ole Swimmin’ Hole.” The noted poet will himself be seen on the screen in & prologue. Bernstein's Play to Be Filmed. Henri Bernstein's dramatic success, “The Thlef,” which was produced in this country by Charles Frohman, is now being adapted for pictures, and ‘will soon be “filmed.” METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIi*, ILL. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS ‘The thirtieth annual conference of Church Workers Among Colored Peo- ple was held in St. Philip’s church, ‘New York city, October 6 to 9, by courtesy of the rector, Rev. Hutch- ins Chew Bishop, and his people. About fifty clergy attended the ses- sions and more than one hundred lay: men and women were visiting dele- gates, There was much interest in the sessions for consideration of var- ied topics; the services were well at tended, the attendance was remark- ably good in the evenings when from seven to nine hundred persons were present. Dioceses in the following states were well represented: Missis- sippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Vir- ginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey, New York, Connécticut and Massachusetts. On Tuesday evening, after short- ened evensong, Bishop Burch made an address of welcome tor the bishop of New York, who was unable to be present on accdunt of the Minneapolis meeting of the house of bishops. Ven- erable Henry Baird Delany, D. D. president of the conference, respond- ed to the bishop's cordial greeting. ‘The annual sermon was preached by Rev. George F. Miller of Brooklyn, and the necrologist's report was read by Rev, Emmet E. Miller of Peters: burg, Va. Friday was Woman's auxiliary day. As on other mornings, the holy com- munion was celebrated at seven o'clock. There were business meet- ings at 10 a. m. and § p, m. At the closing session on Friday eve- ning there was a solemn Te Deum and procession. Besides the president's annual -ad- dress and other official reports, a long series of subjects were treated by writers, appointed speakers, and vol- unteer speakers. An address by Doctor Dillard of the ‘SlaterJeanes fund was of particular value. There was a fine address by Doctor Du Bois on the subject “War and Prejudice.” Rev, George Chalm- ers Richmond of Philadelphia made an impression by an address, and Miss Julia C. Emery of the Woman's aux- ilary took active and helpful part in the meeting of the women. A com- mittee was appointed from member- ship in the several provinces to report whether the organization of provincial conferences of church work- ers would be useful. The need for a field secretary for work among the colored parishes and missions was reaffirmed. Commendation was given to work and investigations of Mr, C. W. Robinson, a layman of St. Philip's church, New York, with respect to conditions in connection with the Brotherhood of St, Andrew and also to the plan of having a colored sec- retary in charge of work among the colored chapters. The plan for a ra cial missionary episcopate was en- thusiastically approved again, no dis- senting voice heard. A general ad- dress to the church at large was set forth in conclusion and was read at the closing session. County Treasurer Guillian of Au- burn, Neb., received a request from a Maywood man for statement of his personal taxes for 1883, because his conscience was troubling him, ‘The Yukon Territorial council! re- cently passed an ordinance regulating the black fox industry: and prohibiting generally the exportation of foxes, Representatives of the Negro churches of Germantown held a big celebration in the ancient Mennonite church, Germantown avenue and Her- man street, says the Pittsburgh Dis- patch.

From the report of the correspond. ing secretary of the Federation of Gol- ored Women's clubs, Miss Ida Cum- mings ot Baltimore, Md., the follow- ing excerpt is given: “Our women are realizing as never before the power of organization. They are showing better judgment, working for larger results; they have caught the vision of service, Playing its part in all the forces of human endeavor, mutuality and helfulness have stamped themselves, For these bodies of ours to be ont of harmony means disease and death. Ob, a lack of human mu- tuality means more! “Here we have come as the Jewish people came, centuries ago, to Jerusa- lem, with thelr offerings, to celebrate the harvest, Instead of dipping a gold- en pitcher in the pool of Siloam for the altar, we are come to draw water of inspiration from the well of our different experiences. “In some states the balldt has come to our women.

Sisters, Jet us work with renewed energy to rid the land of that which is doing so much to drag us down as a race. March 13, 1913, marked one of the most impressive ‘scenes in our civic life in Baltimore, when hundreds of our citizens ap- ‘peared with white citizens to protest against the reissuance of certain saloon Mcenses, and a woman of our ‘race held them: spellbound as she pleaded with them to close those dens, for the children’s sake.

An old farmer in the Midlands was anxious to marry, but could not make up his mind between the charms of a certain comely widow in the neighborhood and her equally charming daughter. At last he resolved to let chance solve the problem. "I'll ax th' one I fust sees a-goin' in," he muttered, and off he started on his amatory errand. But when he arrived both mother and daughter were sitting in the doorway. "Dang it!" he cried. "Here was I comin' to ax one o' 'ee to marry me, an' I swore the fust 'un should ha' the chance. But there ye both be together. I'll shed my eyes now, an' the one as don't want me mun go indoors. Th' one as stays is my wife to be." Shutting his eyes the old farmer counted ten solemnly; there was a subdued chuckle, but when he opened them both women had gone.—London Tit Bits. ITCHING BURNING ECZEMA R. F. D. No. 3. Caldwell, Ohio.—"When our baby was about two months old she broke out over her body, face and head with eczema. It was bad, about as thick as it could be. It broke out in a kind of pimples. They were red and sore. She was very cross and restless. The eczema would itch and burn till she couldn't sleep. It looked very badly and would peel off where the places were. Her clothes would irritate the eruption. "We gave her medicine, but it didn't do any good. We had heard about Cuticura Soap and Ointment so we sent for a sample and it was not very long till she was better. I bought some more Cuticura Soap and Ointment which cured her completely."

How Ice Man Got the Booze. The day was hot and the patient ice man had taken his usual care in getting the ice in the box just right and then mopping up the little water that got on the floor in the operation. He really was a good ice man and deserved to be rewarded. "Here is a bottle of beer; you need it on a hot day like this," said the housewife. "I can't accept anything from patrons, lady," the ice man said, as he eyed the bottle lovingly. "Well, if that is orders, all right," the customer said. Still the ice man pondered, "But," he added, as an afterthought, "if you put it on, the back porch I'll steal it. There isn't any rule against stealing things." - Indianapolis News. Stork's Good Memory. While visiting the Berlin zoological gardens, says Lustige Blatter, little Gretchen saw a great white bird standing on one leg in a cage. She threw in a piece of candy; the bird gobbled it up eagerly; and thrust its head through the wire for more. Presently Gretchen's mother came along. "O mother, see here! What kind of a bird is this?" The mother pointed to the sign on the cage, which read, "The Stork." "The stork!" cried the little girl enthusiastically. O mamma, do you know, he actually recognized me!" PRESSED HARD. Coffee's Weight on Old Age. When people realize the injurious effects of coffee and the change in health that Postum can bring, they are usually glad to lend their testimony for the benefit of others. "My mother, since her early childhood, was an inverteate coffee drinker, had been troubled with her heart for a number of years and complained of that 'weak all over' feeling and sick stomach. "Some time ago I was making a visit to a distant part of the country and took dinner with one of the merchants of the place. I noticed a somewhat unusual flavour of the 'coffee' and asked him concerning it. He replied that it was Postum. "I was so pleased with it that, after the meal was over, I bought a package to carry home with me, and had wife prepare some for the next meal. The whole family" were so well pleased with it that we discontinued coffee and used Postum entirely. "I had really been at times very anxious concerning my mother's condition, but we noticed that after using Postum for a short time, she felt so much better than she did prior to its use, and had little trouble with her heart, and no sick stomach; that the headaches were not so frequent, and her general condition much improved. This continued until she was well and hearty. "I know Postum has benefited myself and the other members of the family, but not in so marked a degree as in the case of my mother, as she was a victim of long standing." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Postum comes in two forms: Regular Postum—must be well boiled, 15c and 25c packages. Instant Postum—is a soluble powder. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in a cup of hot water and, with cream and sugar, makes a delicious beverage instantly. 30c and 50c tins. The cost per cup of both kinds is about the same. "There's a Reason" for Postum. sold by Grocer SOUPS THAT WILL BE LIKED For the Colder Days There Is Nothing Better Than That Made With Peas—Other Suggestions. To make thick pea soup wash and soak overnight one pint of split peas. Next morning put them into a pot with two quarts of water. Meantime fry until brown two sliced onions and a head of celery in two ounces of clarified dripping. Put them in with the peas and two slices of bread cut diagonally, a teaspoonful of salt and half that amount of pepper. Bring to the boil, simmer for one and a half hours, rub through a sieve, add one pound of mashed potatoes, return it all to the pot and bring once more just to the boiling point. Strain if desired. If the soup is not thick enough add a tablespoonful each of flour and butter rubbed together and let the soup heat for five minutes longer. This soup is very nutritious and would take the place of meat. For a good cabbage soup remove the outer leaves from two small cabbages and cut into shreds with half a head of celery. Soak in boiling water for ten minutes, drain and cool in fresh boiling water for ten minutes. Once more drain and place in a pan with two pints of stock or water, one ounce of finely minced sweet herbs and pepper and salt to taste. Then bring to a boil and simmer for fifteen or twenty minutes. Serve with grated cheese. Potato soup is good and cheap, especially if made without meat, although scraps of meat or gravy may be added if liked. Cut three medium-sized potatoes into thin slices, add one small slice onion and a handful of rice. Boll in water sufficient to cover. Parsley heightens the flavor, but it should be lifted out when well cooked. When the potatoes are done blend a piece of butter the size of an egg with browned flour and stir it into the soup. This gives a rich color and appetizing flavor. Milk may be added, but it should be sparingly used. You may add carrots, beans, peas and other left-over vegetables to such soup. Drop dumplings are nice to serve with this soup. Take one egg, one-half eggshell of water, a pinch of salt and one teaspoonful of baking powder. Add enough flour to make a dough that will drop easily from a teaspoon. Remove when they rise to the top of the soup. REALLY FIRST-CLASS SOUP Ingredients and Directions for Making Vegetable Burger. Liked by. Any vegetable purée can be prepared as follows: Melt one ounce of well clarified dripping in a pan and cook in it till tender, but without coloring, four ounces of onions, two ounces of celery and a bunch of herbs; then in five minutes lay in one pound of potatoes, carrots, turnips, etc., according to what you wish to use, peeled and cut up; cover down the pan and let it continue to cook for twelve to fifteen minutes longer, shaking the pan now and again to prevent the vegetables burning; then add a quart of liquid, with a few percorna and seasoning, and let it all simmer till tender (for about one and a half hours), then rub it through the sieve, reheat, add a mixture of flour and milk and use. For the mixture rub a little flour, say a dessert-spoonful, smooth with some cold milk, water or stock, then add this to the soup and let it all cook for five minutes longer. Pineapple Salad. Cut a ripe, mellow pineapple into slices, pare each slice and remove the eyes. Sprinkle lightly with sugar and allow to stand a few hours to extract the juice. Drain and to the slices add one-nail as much grapefruit, tart apple or seeded Malaga grapes. Arrange on lettuce leaves. Dress with mayonnaise and decorate with halved grapes or candied cherries. Old-Fashioned Doughnuts One egg well beaten, add two-thirds cupful of sugar, one-half cupful sour milk, one-half teaspoonful of soda dissolved in the milk, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one-fourth teaspoonful dry ginger and nutmeg, one-half teaspoonful cream of tartar sifted with the flour; try cupful and a half of flour, more if needed; roll out. These are delicious. Salad Oils. A decided salad oil economy is obtained by mixing with a quart of the pure cottonseed oil, a few ounces of pure olive oil for imparting richness of flavoring. The nutritive qualities of the two are about the same, and to some persons this mixture is more appetizing than the rather pungent flavor of the plain olive oil. How to Bind Soups. If cream soups and purées are allowed to stand, they separate unless bound together. To bind a soup melt butter, and when bubbling add an equal quantity of flour; when well mixed add to boiling soup, stirring well. Wrap Up Meat. A noted book advises after roasting a piece of meat that is to be served cold to wrap it in cheesecloth while it is still hot. This will prent it from drying out and losing flavor. A Tea Hint. If a lump of sugar is put in the teapot when making tea it will prevent its spoiling the table cover if spilled. METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE. METROPOLIS. IL. Death Lurks In A Weak Heart THE CHARM OF MOTHERHOOD Enhanced By Perfect Physical Health. The experience of Motherhood is a trying one to most women and marks distinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one woman in a hundred is prepared or understands how to properly care for herself. Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at such times, but many approach the experience with an organism unfitted for the trial of strength, and when it is over her system has received a shock from which it is hard to recover. Following right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results. There is nothing more charming than a happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed child-birth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, and with ample time in which to prepare, women will persist in going blindly to the trial. Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, a most valuable tonic and invigorator of the female organism. In many homes once childless there are now children because of the fact that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound makes women normal, healthy and strong.

"What pudding would you like tonight, love?" she cooed at breakfast time. "Oh. anything!" he whispered desperately. "Anything?" she reiterated, in a pained tone. "Well, you know, old girl; anything light—only don't tire yourself out." "You shall have your favorite—custard, dear," she promised. Toward seven o'clock Reginald returned, but the sound of weeping and gnashing of teeth greeted his trained ear. "Whatever is it, my dear girl," he implored, as he rushed into the kitchen. "O-o-o-o!!"

GETTING DOWN TO THE FACTS Relie Which Mr. Bradley Valued So Highly Was Not Altogether a Present. Said Mr. Bradley: "I think a good deal of this rocking chair. It's made from wood that grew on a farm in Virginia once owned by G. Washington." "I don't see anything extraordinary about it," said Parks, "except that it's big and ugly. How much did it cost you? "Nothing. That's the beauty of it. A friend of mine in Washington sent it to me. There's nothing like having good friends." "No, I suppose not. How did he send it? "By express. Quite a relic, isn't it? Wood grew on one of G. Wash—" "You paid the express charges, I suppose?" "Of course. Wood grew on a farm that once belonged to George—" "How much was the —" "Farm that once belonged to George Washington in Virginia. It isn't every day you can—" "How much expressage did you—" "Isn't every day you can see a rocking chair made out of wood grown on a farm that once belonged to George—" "What express charge did you have to pay?" "Eight dollars and seventy-five cents," said Bradley, with visible reluctance. Whom Docge Hath Joined Together. A contributor sends in this clipping from the Kohala Midget, a paper published in the island of Maul, one of the Hawaiian group. He explains that "wahine" is Hawaiian for woman, "kane" for man, and "pau" for enough: Rev. R. B. Dodge of Walluku is the most resourceful man of Maul. Recently a Japanese couple came to Mr. Dodge with a request in the sign language that he make them man and wife. They couldn't talk English fluently and Mr. Dodge cannot talk Japanese, so he conducted the ceremony as follows: "You like, wahine?" "Yes." "Blimey no kickout?" "No." "You like this kane?" to the woman. "Yes." To Increase Supply of Salmon. Important experiments have recently been made by the fisheries expert for British Columbia in connection with the hatchery operations. Last year at Seaton lake instead of placing all the sockeye salmon eggs in traps, as had been the custom heretofore, a plan was adopted more in keeping with the natural methods followed by the fish. The eggs, after having been inoculated with the lymph, were buried under five to seven inches of sand and gravel. Over 200,000 ova were thus treated in tanks especially made therefor, and as a result 188,000 healthy fry have been taken out with the possibility of more to follow. This is a splendid record, as compared with the old pan system, and it is believed by the experts that the new method will revolutionize the business of the hatcheries. Three Ages. The new Berlin botanical gardens, says Lustige Blatter, was wonderfully beautiful, but to small children they are a forbidden paradise. Boys and girls under ten are not permitted to enter. Herr and Frau Muller found this out to their disappointment when they planned to take their little Paul on a Sunday trip to view the beautiful gardens; nevertheless, they gave their young hopeful a few instructions, and started out. "How old are you?" he inquired. Paul answered, "Six for the electrics; really eight; for the botanical gardens, ten." Ration in Congress The ratio of representation in the lower house of congress at Washington has steadily changed since the year 1789, when the Constitution began its work, the ration was 30,000 to the representative. In 1910 the ratio was 210,000 to the representative. If the ratio did not rise the members of the lower house would in time become too numerous for business. It is for the purpose of keeping the membership within reasonable bounds that the ratio is made to keep pace with population. Hard on Some People.

Stewart of the St. Paul Baptist church DuQuoin Ill., most delightfully entertained their pastor, Rev. J. A. Brochett D. D, and family at their lovely residence 6 McKinly Ave., Friday Nov. 13, 1914. A very delicious three course dinner was served at 6:00 P. M. which proved our gracious hostess to be very proficient in the culinary art. Just before dinner, as we were enjoying the quiet twilight hour one of the little daughters touched a button flooding the rooms with light, and together with her sister, helped to make the hour very lively, adding greatly to the enjoyment of the visit.

Dr. Brockett and family pronounced the day as one of the pleasantest, spent since reaching the west. Editor Gtzette: Permit us to say in your daily Journal that while the missions spirit is not what it should be it is better by far than it appears at a moments glance. The writer very readily called to mind that in our associations and S. S. Conventions at the annual meeting would send for Mission purposes less than $10.00. The letters read thus "we send 50c for the missionary and 10c for foreign mission and 75c for minutes and etc. ```markdown ``` which pastor Young has charge. The amount raised during the meeting was $44.25. We organized a kind of proem affair so as to report the amount of finance raised. The amount realized for the Church Aid and Building Fund $23.00. The remainder for pastor and church with the exception of $3.00 for the Supt. of Missions. Brethren do you not think that you owe the pastor and church an apology for your derelict o duty. The Church is somewhat apprehensive of Elder H. C. Armstead, as it is not a habit of his to remain away from the executive board, nor any other religious delegation. Had the brethren been mindful of their obligations we could have easily raised the $100 00. The Church is waiting to hear just when the board will meet, in fact they voted for it last night. (Sunday.) We are giving every atom of our brain, and every quiver of our nerve for the cause of the Master, and we see no reason that every minister that God has Put into the work should not make some sacrifice for the cause May the Lord touch the heart of every brother and sister that they may see the great responsibility that is resting upon them. Brethren and sisters will you not kindly respond to the pledges made by you which are more than past due? Remember the R. R. trains are not carrying Bro. Phillips for nothing. You can save us of the expense and trouble if you will. NOTICE. The Mt. Olive Baptist S. S. institute will be held Friday before the 5th Sunday in Nov. with 2nd Baptist church and school Md City. Every elective officer of the convention, the teachers and superintendents are requested and urged upon to attend this the last meeting of the year. Let each school send $1.00 to assist in the work. Be sure and come prepared to take a part on the program. Begin today. Let us make this meeting worth while Rev. Bell, the pastor and Sister Jessie Blackwell, assures us of a royal reception. Rev. Jerry Johnson of Jopsa, the Free Baptist preacher, who was shot in Fulton, Ky., a few weeks ago is still living. I am still with you in the School book and Millinery business and earnestly solicit your patronage. I will treat you right. Z. A. VALLEE. If anythiny were said respecting this "Sluggy giving" then the question of the church sovereignty or poverty was raised but thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift that the churches and ministers for the most part have caught the vision of the spirit of missions. Churches and ministers are bestirring themselves as never before. The mission of the church to a world lying in wickedness to men dead in trespasses and sins, and the churches must be the bearers of pleadings to the promises of hope.
