Convention Board are called to meet Wednesday before the 1st Sunday in April with the Mt. Olive Baptist Churub, Colp. Ill., with Rev J. D. Davis pastor.

We are a great Baptist family and constitute the 2nd largest Baptist Association in the State numerically and with a little more loyalty and the spirit of Christian giving we do so easily. We have the people with the means and loyalty and the only hindrance is cooperation and a willingness on the part of the ministry is, for us to lead off in this line, tell the people what we want them to do and we will find a ready and responsive constituency. The great war is over and our army is returning home; the great plan of reconstruction is before us, with new fields opened up to us, and as Baptist we should be on the alert, and be prepared not only to send laborers into the great harvest fields but to send money to assist them in their evangelization of the teeming millions who must have the gospel as given by Jesus Christ, Therefore we call your especial attention to the fact that you are requested to be present with delegate and your church, if you can't send a delegate and the amount of $2.00 from your church, allow us to urge upon you to send us $2.00 from your church and .50c from each deacon and licentiate and $1.00 from each pastor and ordained minister and 5c for each member. Said money for Missionaries, the poor church fund and the expense of the meeting. We must go over the "Top" at this meeting.

Illinois belongs to the Baptists, let us go up and take it. The pastor and his good people will be prepared to care for us as heretofore. Let us do our duty. If you have any suggestions for the good of the cause, write us. Cartarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure cartarrh deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhral Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrah Peafness that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine, Circulars free. All Druggists, 76c.

Olive Baptist Association and pastors, this notice comes to call your attention to an urgent call made through the columns of this paper, asking the churches to contribute ten (10.00) dollars to help pay off the remaining indebtedness on our National Theological Training School located at Nashville, Ten. It appeared that the brethern did not understand the call. Since our Ex. Board held at Marion last month I am sure you now understand. A resolvow was adopted that we make the Fifth Sunday in this month a District Rally day for Education, and that each church donate to that School $10.00; the amount to be sent to Rev. W. P. Washington, 1110 Casey, Ave., Mt. Vernon, Illinois. The meeting on the 5th Sunday in this month will bh held with the New Bethel Baptist church of Centralia. Rev. A. R. McKee, pastor. We are asking every church to to send the amount mentioned above if you can, if not then send what you can and help make the rally a success. We are not expecting all the churches to be there in person, but we are asking every church to represent financially. Just send P. O. money order to W. P. Washington and your church will receive crhdit for same. Now, my dears, please give ear to this call and let us play our part in leaving, this great educational plant to coming generations of our race as a denominational legacy. Not altogether that they may call us blessed, but that they may be blessed after we have gone to our long sought Rest. I prayas as these dines are being heralded thru the district the pastors and cearches may be inspired to nobler efforts along educational lines and that our names may ring out at Norfolk, Va. with the other names of the noble helpers to make it possible for our race to have a School owned and controlled by the Negroes, not to be pulled up and displaced by our enemies, but a School that will be forever a beacon, teaching men, women and children to hold sacred the Principles and Docttines laid down by Jesus Christ and practiced by His Disciples, with power to keep out heirecies and strange Doctrines without fear of being turned out of doors.

FOOD SUPPLIES IN COMMON No Eskimo Allowed to Go Hungry While His More Fortunate Brothers Have Plenty. The arctic explorer, Dr. Donald B. MacMillan, who returned recently after four years spent in the arctic regions, has many interesting things to say about the domestic and social customs of the Eskimo. All property is owned in common. He tells us. When you enter a village you are not invited to come in. It is your right to enter and; if you are hungry, to help yourself to something to eat. If you happen to visit a house where a poor hunter lives, he says, "Nurket-turange (Nothing to eat)." He does not go hungry, however, because his neighbors have some, and he lives on his neighbors. Everything is divided up that way. If all the villages are good hunters, their supplies last a long time, but if some are poor bunters, the clever fellow must share with them. An Eskimo does not eat three meals as day and sleep at regular intervals. He eats when he is hungry, and sleeps when he is sleepy, and he puts it off as long as he can, so that he will enjoy it all the more. He will go around for six hours talking about how hungry he is, mid time he will set to work and eat all he can. It is the same way with sleeping. He will go without sleep for 48 hours, and when he cannot keep his eyes open any longer he turns in for a 24-hour snooze. Youth's Companion. London's Spa Gull Visitors. London's winter visitors, the seagulls, have arrived particularly early this year. Never since the herd winter of 1895 first impelled them high up the river, and into his/her unknown regions of parks and private gardens, have the birds omitted to make their yearly call to the Serpent the King and Kingston gardens' pond. On the river, of course the gulls, single or in flights, have a regular habitines for many years, perhaps centurions. Feeding the gulls from the bridges is a favorite occupation for many a Londoner, or rather it used to be, for now the feeding of birds is forbidden, on the ground of waste by the defense of the reef regulations. The gulls will have to shift for themselves tids winter and Londoners' reputation for hospitality will suffer accordingly in the bird world?—Christian Science Monitor. "Germany, confessing her wickedness and protesting her repentance, reprimes me of a acerous form of hunter," said the director of military aeronautics, General Kenny. "This fortune hunter was describing his pursuit of a Pittsburgh herdsman. "In proposing," said his listener, "you ought to have told her. George, that you were unworthy of her. That bait seldom fails." "The fortune hunter gave a gloomy laugh. "Yes, I was going to tell her that," he said, but she told it to me first." Tough on the Private. Having heard that our soldiers in France lack soap, a Portland (Me.) girl sent to a sergeant major of the Fifty-fourth a package of soap leaves, and received in due time a letter from the sergeant major in which he expressed surprise that the girl hadn't remembered that he never smoked. He added that he had given the packet to a private "who 'rolls' is own," and the private liked to have died of aausea. Largest French Port. Largest French Port.

Phone 364 THRIFT SCHOOL PLAN OUTLINED BY EXPERT Dr. Shailer Mathews Explains Scope and Purpose of Great U. S. Educational Movement for Saving. By DR. SHAILER MATHEWS. [Chairman of W. S. S. Educational Committee for Seventh District and Vice Director for Illinois.] Thrift will be taught in the schools of the states constituting the Seventh federal reserve district. The children of Iowa will help prepare the Little Lessons in Thrift which are being written by Prof. Mae Campbell d. f. the Iowa State Teachers' college under the general direction of an educational committee of the district. Besides the childrens the educational committee consists of W. E. Larson, department of public instruction, Wise consist; E. V. McNally, Detroit public schools, Michigan, and Mae Campbell, Iowa State Teachers' college. The Little Lessons for Thrift appear for highlight on printed sheets. The lessons are prepared for the different grades in the schools. They are illustrated and interesting. They teach saying as a phase of good citizenship, give problems of arithmetic in terms of thrift stamps, chewing gum, candy and other things a chill buys. It is a new field which is thus being opened up and the war savings organization is rendering a great service to the rising generation. Nor is it all more the case. The teaching of the principles of the less combined with a sort of annual training in theft, through the wife of War Savings Stamps in school. Along with these Little Lessons in Thrift the educational committee publishes the schedule with pupil's theft funds, on which the teacher keeps an account of the amount, however small, which the pupil belongs to her for the purpose of buying stamps. This practice itself becomes educational, because the pupil gets introduced to shuffle bookkeeping and banking. These plans have received the benignest co-operation of the school administration in the various stutes and offices. The perennial and private schools are co-operating in the use of the material and plans prepared by the committee. The young men and women of the next generation will have a higher respect for shift and a better understanding as to how to spend their money, to they will learn even in the primary grades that shift is not misfortune but a way of spending money so as to make it for them. SAVE: HAVE A PERSONAL CHARE IN THE FUTURE BILLIONS FROM THE NICKELS Ever Stop to Think of Vast Sums That Can Be Saved From Small Amounts? If every person in the United States saved a nickel in one day it would mean that at night the people would be just five million dollars richer. And then suppose the people kept this up for one month? It would mean that at the end of thirty days they would have saved one hundred and fifty million dollars. Why not keep it up for the rest of 1919? What would be the result? One billion five hundred million dollars. Sounds like a lot of work for one little nickel to do, doesn't it, yet there are scores of industries in the United States which are paying big dividends on the little nickels gathered day by day. This immense sum if invested in War Savings Stamps would earn for the savers approximately sixty four million dollars in 1920—the work of "old man interest," who never takes a dry off and who is continuously on Page Four Proposed Constitution Of The Baptist Minister's Alliance.
