Convention was organized. The Mt. Olive S. S. Convention will meet in Md. City, Wednesday before the 4th Sunday in June. SHOW HOSTILITY TO INTERCHURCH FUND CAMPAIGN Philadelphia, Pa., May 23. No amount of dollars can take the place of Pentecost, the Rev. Dr. Matland Alexander, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Pittsburgh, and president of the board of directors of Princeton Theological seminary, told a big audience this morning in the 10th Presbyterian church. His topic was "The Apostolic church and the Interchurch." The sermon of Dr. Alexander, who a few years ago was moderator of the Presbyterian church, has caused a stir, inasmuch as the one hundred and thirty-second general assembly of the Presbyterian church, in session here, will on Tuesday thrash out whether the Presbyterian church will pull out or remain in the interchurch movement. A sensational sermon also was preached by the Rev. Dr. Mark A. Mathews of Seattle, Wash., pastor of the largest Presbyterian church in the world. His topic was "Enimies of the Fundamental Doctrines of Protestantism." Dr. Mathews especially criticised the interchurch campaign for funds among men not members of any denomination. The leaders had hoped to raise $40,000,000 of its desired $336,777,672 from these men and women who were referred to as in "no man's land." Up to the last official report only $3,000,000 was subscribed to "no man's land." Backing Out of Mire It appears that the Presbyterians of this Country are backing out of the Interchurch mire to which they found themselves recently almost overwhelmed. They are using some plain talk in the daily papers of this country. The National Baptist Convention (Unincorporated) to which body we belong got the world told on the incipiency of the move that they were not going to join. The incorporated Baptist Convention became a member and said they thot it nothing wrong to help it along. But true genuine Baptists have always been opposed to entangling alliances. They believe in and contend for the principles taught and ordered by Jesus Christ. Goes to Cair2. Rev. S. B. Jones, pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. church, has been appointed to go to Cairo, soon for relieve Rev. F. Douglass, who goes to Baltimore, Md., to take charge of the work there made vacant by the election of a Bishop. This is an advance step for both of these devines especially the former. Rev. Eugene Thompson, formerly of Elkville, will come here a young man who finl hes in Wilberforce University. UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS LIBRARY JUN 1 1920 LIS WEH TO: "HEW TO THE LINE, LET THE LIS, ILLINOIS FRIDAY EURKI ASSOCIATION 120,000 STAND IN BREAD LINE More Than 1,000,000 Face Death Is Message Brought by Miss Dakesian. Imagine a bread line of 120,000 famished people waiting for twenty-four hours a day for the dole of good that is the sole barrier between them and death from starvation. That is the situation in Alexandropol, a city in Russian Armenia, according to Miss Hermine Dakesian, a pretty Armenian girl, one of the survivors of four years MISS HERMINE DAKESIÁN. of the horrors of Turkish massacres and deportations. Saved by an American woman, she has come to this country and entered Oberlin College. With her came fourteen other Armenian girls in charge of Miss Adelalde A. Dwight, a Near East Relief worker, who has been instrumental in helping to save hundreds of thousands of their people from death by starvation. Miss Dwight, who is not given to exaggeration and has seen conditions at first hand, says more than a million people are facing death by starvation in Armenia and will perish unless America aids. Herself an eyewitness to the slaughter of hundreds of helpless women and children by the Turks and a victim of the deportations, Miss Dakelan, an unusually pretty girl, says there is unoffield suffering in Armenia and Syria. She praises the efforts of the Near East Relief, formerly the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief, to save as many of these people as possible. At Erlvan, the capital of the Armenian republic, one hot meal is given on daily, and by the relief alone the city's death rate has been cut from a thousand daily to an average of twenty. At Alexandropol where the refugees from Turkish Kurdistan were driven by thousands the situation is appalling, Miss Dakelan says. It is to avert these wholesale deaths that Near East Relief is making a nation-wide appeal for funds. BOY SCOUTS IN YOUNG ARMENIA Strangest Troop of All in Constantinople Being Made Into Good Citizens. American Boy Scout training is adding prominently in the rehabilitation of hundreds of little Armenian boy refugees from the Turkish massacres, who have been organized into a scout troop in Constantinople as the solution of one of the most troublesome problems that confronted the Near East Relief workers in that city. Hounded and driven for four years, having seen their parents and relatives slaughtered or worse by Turks and Kurds and themselves forced to beg, steal or do almost anything to cue out the barest existence, those boys had completely lost their moral sense when they finally found refuge in the Near East Relief orphans.

Graduates from West Point. General Young, born in Salt Lake City, April 19, 1858, after passing successfully the examinations of the local schools and university, was appointed in 1878 to the West Point Military Academy from which he was graduated in 1862. For some years he was connected with the army, then received leave of absence Brigadier, General Richard W. Young, and graduated from Columbia Law University in 1884. Being admitted to the practice of law in New York, from 1884 to 1886 he served at Governor's Island as captain and acting Judge Advocate on the staff of General W. S. Hancock. Here he wrote the book "Mobs and the Military." In the Philippings. Returning to Utah, he engaged in professional business but during the Spanish-American War and the Philippine insurrection commanded the Utah Light Artillery. During this service he was superior provost judge and associate justice and president of the criminal branch of the supreme court of the Philippine Islands, receiving for his service the Congressional Medal of Honor and recommendations for brevets. Service in the World War.

He was retained in the army until March, 1918, when he again took up the active practice of law. Active in Church Affairs. General Young was always active in church affairs and since the organization of the Ensign stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints ("Mormon"), including about one-fourth of Salt Lake City, was its president. He was one of about fifty of the grandons of the great leader Brigham Young, who made records in the world war, and was always ready to leave church, business and civic duties at the call of his country. General Young is survived by Mrs. Young and nine sons and daughters. He was generally considered as Utah's "biggest" man and at the next election for Governor it was conceded that there would be but one candidate, and that Richard W. Young. Common Benee a.

We pity that soul whose religion will not bind him sufficiently strong enough to enable him to rise above his evil companions sufficiently high and long enough to allow his light, (life) to shine forth to illuminate the pathway of some poor sinner that will lead him into that path that shines more and more until the perfect day We have several good preachers that are idle that would make good pastors if they were given a chance. Every church large or small should have a pastor, and carry out the great commission of Jesus. Ye should be doers of his word and not hearers only. Heed this message and herald it to the lost and benighted world. Every church door in Southern Illinois should be thrown open at least twice every Sunday that the gospel might be preached to every creature. Let none hear you idly saying there is nothing you can do while the souls of men are dying all around you without any hope for the future life and happiness. Any church needing a good pastor and a splendid preacher. a man of high ideals and broad vision, we can recommend Rev. Jno. Bruen, of Mr. Vernon, Ill. who successfully pastored Shiloh Baptist church of that city for 5 consecutive years. His address is 1011 Herbert, St. The old Mt.

Genuine Baptists do not federate with anything, but stands out clear out for the gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus said, upon his word He would build his church and the gates of hell should not destroy it. Let us add here that all the combined forces of men cannot uproot the Church of Christ, or loose it from its moorings, neither can principalities, heights, nor depths, peril, or sword, nor world's upon world's persuade a child of God move him from trusting in God. There is a fixed principle in his soul that serves as an anchor to a child born of God. Mrs. M. J. McCrary, spent Sunday with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Mingo Long. Attend the S. S.

Pressed glass was invented by an amble carpenter of Sandwich, Mass., but in the primitive state of affairs it profited him little. More than 200 years ago a Bohemian glass-maker conceived the idea of making cut glass. This idea was destined to revolutionize the entire glass industry of the world. The inventor began by making the walls of the article on which he was working thicker than he was wont so that he might cut the glass with a sharp knife into figures he chose. METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE. METROPOLIS. ILL Revs. W. H Carter, and Alexander preached wonderful sermons Sunday. The annual session of the S. M. T. was preached by Rev. Alexander of St. Louis, Mo. The turn-out was a grand affair. Mrs. Carrie Carter is Worthy Princess and Mrs. M. Bibbs Secretary. The plastering of the church is mearing completion and the floor will be laid soon. We are striving to complete all work early in June. Rev. W. H Carter, Pastor, J. H. Scott, Clerk. Our Baptist General State Association at its annual meeting last week at Murphysbore, took a decided stand in which they spoke out in unmistakable terms opposing connecting themselves with this Interchurch move. Dr. Olive told while in Metropolis, so we were informed by one of the deacons of the 1st Baptist church that 37 of the churches had left the Mt. Olive Association and at the same time he knew that he had only two churches outside of Cairo. He stated before his organization was effected that he had 27 churches and when we traced that down he only had the Cairo churches, one church in Harrisburg and Future City and there is a division and protest in most of these on the account of the way these "Southern pastors" are doing in trying to destroy the peace and prosperity of these churches that existed when they took charge of them. In some of the churches some members have already left and joined other churches of other denominations and still there are open threats to leave if these God sent men (?) persist in caring out their devilish design. We know of some of these pastors that are about to loose their churches on the account of their attack of the Mt. Olive Association and the sooner this is done the better it will be for the churches and communities. Let the S. S. of the Mt. Olive Baptist Convention elect their delegates, at once and inform the Gazette as we want the program to appear next week M. A. B. Any church in the Mt. Olive District without a pastor may write Rev. C. W. Scates, Mound City, Illinois From His Own Experience. A west end school teacher told a funny one the other day. The teacher was attempting to drill the class in the use of the word "felt." She expected some one of the children to say "The ice felt cold" or "The stove felt hot," or something of the sort. She was much discouraged when one little alien who had raised his hand to volunteer a sentence said: "I felt downstairs." -Boston Post. HUNGER KNOWS NO ARMISTICE IN CAUCASUS Colonel Haskell Reports to Near East Relief on Desperate Needs of Helpless. "Peace may come elsewhere in the world, but hunger knows no armistice in the Near East," says Colonel William N. Haskell, Allied high commission in the Trans-Caucasus, in an appeal to Near East Relief, 1 Madison avenue, New York city, for food and supplies for the relief of the starving millions. Colonel Haskell is in charge of all operations and disbursements of Near East Relief in the Caucasus. "There is no fuel or shelter for the greater part of them during the terri- M. ble winter in the mountains," he says, "and the existing food supply is entirely inadequate for the great number of refugees without resources of any kind. "By a recent agreement between the premiers of the republics of Armenia, Azerbaidjan and Georgia to cease hostilities and settle all differences by arbitration one obstacle to relief work in the Caucasus has been removed and makes accessible a great number of destitute people who otherwise would perish this winter. "Two hundred thousand destitute Armenians and Tartars can now be reached in the districts of Karabagh, Eshusha and Nakhichevan, in the southeast section of the Trans-Caucasus, and we are planning to extend our work there. The economic situation is so desperate and food supplies so scanty that the Georgians have ordered 100,000 persons, mainly Russian refugees without employment, to leave the city of Tiflis. About 45,000 workers in the oil fields of Baku have been ordered by the Azerbaijahese to leave the city because there is no work for them and food is scarce. Around every station along the railway are gathered groups of hundreds of homeless people lying huddled together on the ground, the majority of them too weak even to try to help themselves. From time to time the stranger ones climb on freight cars and move elsewhere, always seeking better conditions, which do not exist. Two hundred and sixty-three thousand homeless refugees from Turkish Armenia thus are constantly milling about throughout Russian Armenia, making the relief work conducted by the Americans a problem requiring infinite patience and organizing ability. "This is especially true in view of the existence of 248,000 destitute inhabitants of Russian Armenia who possess homes but no food, as well as 150,000 Greeks, Russians, Persians, Syrians and Yezidis who have been driven out of parts of Transjordan. "One hundred and forty thousand Moslems, whose villages were destroyed in the course of five years of constant warfare, are heiplessly encamped in the open around villages of their former enemies, begging infinitesimal quantities of flour, which they mix with dirt to give, the illusion of nourishment. "These hundreds of thousands of suffering adults, mostly homeless and lacking every necessity of life, having nothing more to lose, are concentrated in a country as yet inadequately policed or governed. They constitute a fertile field for the seeds of Bolshevism or any form of anarchy, the spread of which once loosed would be impossible to predict. "It is generally admitted in the Caucasus that the Americans of the Near East. Relief already have saved the lives of at least 30,000 babies and children and of 500,000 adult refugees and destitute. This work still is continuing." In an effort to procure funds to carry on the work and save the lives of these hundreds of thousands who otherwise will die of starvation and exposure Near East Relief, of which Cleveland H. Dodge is treasuring, is making an appeal to the American people. Page. Three Co., has Established a Office will be operated placements have been plenty machinery and sugar.
