We have been in a meeting with the Mr. Zion Baptst church Dewmaine We had the assistance of Dr. W. P. Washington, pastor of the Antioch Baptist church Decatur, and Mod. of the General Missionary Baptist State Association, was our assistant for about ten days He preached too. Accession by relation and regeneration twelve. In and around about Dewmaine, Freeman and Marion, the cry is on to Evanston, in May. Revival meetings are booming in southern Illinois Drs. Moody and Dorsey had their baptizing on the first Sunday. Dr. Moody baptized 20 and Dr. Dorsey 12, and there are more to follow in both churches. Eld. Wm. Bell, pastor of the St. John Baptist church Pulaski, baptized 17. Eld. D L. Braxton, pastor of the Mt. Moriah Baptist church, Freeman, baptized 10. Eld. J D. Davis, Mod of the E. Mt. Olive Association, pastor of the Mt. Pleasant church Colp, and Paul's Chapel Marion closed out his meeting this Spring with baptism to follow. Eld. Carter, pastor of the 2nd Baptist Center alla baptized upwards of 20 this spring. Eld. C. W. Cole, pastor of the Missionary Baptist church Mound City baptizes on the first Sunday in May. He has invited the writer to be present to preach the baptismal sermon, we very much regret that we cannot be on the scene. Eld. C. W. Norment of Mounds we understand closed a very successful meeting, and must do some baptizing. Upon our arrival to our home our gaze fell upon the Baptist Truth, and we came across an article from the pen of Dr. J. J. Olive, pastor of the (Disaster) of the first Baptist 19th and Walnut Sts, Cairo, respecting one C. C. Philips. The Dr. appears to be having one fit after another. He says among other things, I blame myself for fooling with such dirty smooty trash. Philip's is a downright hypocrit, and if you play with a puppy he will lick your mouth. This reminds us of the candidate defeated for an office, when asked how he felt he replied I feel sorter like Lazarus, and that is, I have been licked by the dogs. The Dr. feels like this dirty puppy has licked him, that is why he is breathing out threatening and slaughter against one C. C. Philips. Much ignorance and ambition makes the Dr. mad. He is either too ignorant or too dishonest to understand what his own language speaks. If talks for itself. He has yet to learn that no amount of abu-ling or false accusing madness or gladness takes the place of argument. The Dr. is mad and I'm glad. The lava appears to be thundering in his belly, and the brim stone gushing out of his mouth and nostrils, and his eyes as flaming fire. He wants to fight. What for? Because the pup has licked him on his alien immersion question, and his Free Will ordination, and church federation. O said the Dr. he said I said that Free Will Ordination, and Alien Immersion was good enough! Sure he said it in so many words. Hear ye him. They had repented, believed, and had already been baptized. What is the proper import of this language? The words already quali- ties and verifies, just what he means, or what he meant. He did not have to use the words Alien immersion, Free Will ordination, and Church Federation etc. When you say they had repented, and believed and had already been baptized, that carried with it all of these terms. Your play of words are but a distinction without a difference. For instance, you say 3 and 2 equals 5, and I say 4 and 1 equals 5, what is the difference in the sum total? Tell what you mean by the word Already Been Baptized. We had your article reproduced because we wanted the reader to know just what you had said. The Dr says I think my language is plain enough to be understood. Yes, and we do too. That is just the reason we had it republished. We ask the Dr. this question, and he can say yes or no. Is it a fact that you went over to the Free Baptist Conference last Nov. in Fulton, Ky. and tried to put over the same kind of a program and was turned down? And Dr. when you say that one C. C. Phillips deserves the credit of the President of the Aminiias club. This expression is fully sufficient to invoke a smile. We heard while in Cairo that a certain preacher would not tell the truth only they were not so modest in their language, and they were members of the church of which this preacher had charge of too. The way they talked, reminded us of the fact that the truth is a stranger upon his lips, and in his mouth a falshood is constantly at home. Dr. if you can find a half dozen reputable persons in this whole district where we have gone over for about 20 years that will apply such ephithets as you have, we will retrace all we have said. Do this and you will stand clear before the regular Baptists. Do it quickly and show yourself a man. Harrisburg. Allow space in your paper for the reports of Harrisburg. Macedonia had good services all day, Rev. H. Green, preached a wonderful sermon Sunday morning, and he joined the church Sunday evening. Clubs nos. 1 and 2 had a rally, and Rev. Edwards, pastor of C.

Scates, ascended the rostrum and took for a text Mark 16: 15 subject "Unlimited commission to the greatest men, by the greatest authority. For thirty minutes the speaker made our hearts rejoice.

Sunday was a great day in this city, something special was on at each church. The Free-Will Baptists held their annual Conference all the week. Many delegates from different places were in a attendance. Of course, Sunday was a big day with them. The Ministers were at their best all through the week and on Sunday too, and each vied with the other as to who could preach the best sermon. Rev Turner, preached at the morning service. Rev. Maxwell, in the after-noon, and the closing sermon was preached by Rev. Cousin on Sunday evening to a large audience, subject, "Six trains to Hell and one to Heaven." The Paducah choir rendered service. They closed on Sunday evening, having raised over three hundred dollars and some cents. They meet next year at Kuttaa, Ky. The A left for their respective homes Monday. In the morning at the First Baptist church the pastor preached a wonderful sermon on the doctrine of the church. After said service the church in a body marched to the banks of the Ohio River, with the pastor and 5 candidates in lead and witnessed the baptism of these 5 happy sou's. In the after-noon at the Baptist church, the Lord's Supper was administered, a special sermon was preached to the candidates, and the right hand of fellowship was given.

Proved glass was invented by an umbilic carpenter of Sandwich, Glass, out in the primitive state of ages it profited him little. More than 200 years ago a Bohemian glass- maker conceived the idea of making cur glass. This idea was destined to evolutionize 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 as he chose.

The churches to carry out their mission, as divinely instituted organizations must not forget the poor and needy. If a churoh or an individual shuts up the bowels of compassion against the widow, orphan and the poor, How dwelleth the love of God in them? is a question to be answered. Every church small or large should collect money every Sunday for which to assist the worthy poor both of its flock and the community. Most churches feels they are exempt from this responsible duty if they only pay their pastor and pay off the debts of their church, but it is a very sad mistak as Jesus has said "The poor you have always as much as to say. You have them as your charge and you are responsible to see that they do not suffer. That church which fails to perform its duty in making the needy feel that they can find a friend when in a penniless condition has fallen short of its missions. The chief duty of a church is to save souls and next in importance is to feed the hungry and clothe the naked, Notice To the Pastors and members of the Missionary Society Y. W.

God has promised to doubly pay us il we work. Yours for success, M. B. Taylor, Cor. See. Cor. E. C. Hooper, Pres. 740 Belleforte Ave. Oak Park, Ill. Indian Summer. The term "Indian summer" is applied to a period of mild, open weather that comes in the fall, embracing the most of October and sometimes extending into November, and characterized by a sort of dry mist or haziness that differentiates it from other seasons of the year. What causes the distinctive features of the season, especially the heavy atmosphere, is unknown, and the origin of the term equally so. Differen. explanations have been given of both, but they seem to be largely functual. Notice to Circles. To the Circles of the East Mt. Olive Baptist Association: Dear Sisters, I write you through your churches and to the pastors asking their co-operation. I would love to visit your circles as the time is fast advanced and there is much to be done for the Masters Cause. I have had a deal of sickness also death in my family this year; but I promised the Lord through storms arise I would take my cross and tollow on. I desire to visit your circles. Dear christian pastors, I ask that you do not shut up your church at the hour the circle is to meet and say we have no spare time for the missionary. I hope that I shall have a letter soon from some president saying come and visit our circles. God bless the work. E. M. LONG, State Missionary 519 E. Howard St., Centralia, Ill. General Baptist State Association Read Carefully and Act Quickly. To the Pastors and members of the churches belonging to the General Baptist State Association of Illinois There are only four months until we meet at Evanston Ill., and there is great need of money for Missions and Education. We have not done all we could do no not half. We have been telling the people that we are loyal Baptist and proud of our State Association. Let us stop telling the people with our tongue and from now until the annual session tell them by our work. Can we work? Yes? But will we work? Every pastor and member is asked to join your corresponding secretary in a drive for christian missions. If you are interested in the advancement of our state association, now is the time to show it. Sendme your name and address and I will send you the plan to work for the success of the drive. I assure you it will not interfere with your local church work in any way, but will prove that your church and yourself are really interested in the work. Why not make this the banner year for the Genertl Association. We must not wait for something to turn up for our own success. We can make this drive a big thing if every officer in the state association will at once send in their names and set to work, it is a very hard pull without cooperation, send me your names by return mail and get busy on the job. Before any Foreign Government can become part of this government they must comply with all the requirements of our constitution. They would first have to take an oath that they would accept the constitution. Before another church or of any denomination could become a part of this church, they must first comply with the constitution of the church before they can be any part of it. This is all for the present, but will have more to say later. Yours Respectfully, Rev. George Brown, 429 W.

There is only one way to cure cartarrhaj deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal 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.

By Associated Negro Press. An Editorial. It is strange that some men style themselves as Baptist Ministers and have no regard for the truth. Dr. Olive says as long as the condemned churches, and pastors, were members of the writers Association they were alright. Though they represented in the accused white State convention. Oh! how misery loves company In the first place there are no Minister, in this end of the state in so far as we know, nor churches that have been condemned. It is true that Dr. stands condemned. He is in a crowd by himself, and want company. He is the only on that stands out prominently condemned, and he ought to be. When a man has the brazen affrontry to mount a pulpit and denounce the men that have made it possible for him to have a place to preach and have endeavored to preach a whole Christ and accuse them of being thieves and robbers just because he is anxious for leadership, and thereby attempts to create another organization, for the purpose of caring out sinister purposes is a bad man no matter who he is. There is nobody worried about his so called Zion Association, let him meet with Dr. Grave or any where else they, care to meet with and hold his indignation meeting respecting the Publishing House. Everybody knows that are tolerably well informed that that, is a dead issue. They were defeated in every court, seven suits in all. Now Dr. point to one baper that has condemned the churches and Ministers Just say that they have condemned me, me, me, me and me is miserable, and misery loves company. They have repented, believed and already been baptized. We wonder what the Dr. means by the word already. This word is the straw that broke the Camel's back. That one C. Philips is a down right hypocrite. Ha, ha. 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. NOTICE. Dear Pastors, and Churches composing the General Association of Illinois. This comes to say my tours through the Southern parts of the State in the interest of our State work has met with much success, yea beyond my anticipation. The brethren where I have been have met me with open doors, hands and hearts, and the interest that is being manifested for our State Work has been an eye opener to me, since I have been out for our State work. May God bless the brethren so the good work may go on. But listen Brethren, I regret very, much that I cannot come to all of my brethren and do justice to my own pastorate, and yet, I must reach you some way before our meeting in Evanston. May next. So I am trying to reach you by this letter to say I am asking all of the churches that are affiliating with our State Association to give your humble servant at least a five or ten dollar hearing if I get there in person, and if I cannot get there in person but come thru the mail please give me the same consideration as if I were there in person. I am doing what I can to make our next meeting a financial success. May I have your cooperation? Administrator's Notice Estate of Mary P.

Wanted to hear from owner of farm or good land for sale for fall delivery. L. Jones, Box 551, Olney, Ill. We have some Ministers in the Mt. Olive Baptist Association, who want every one to focus their vision through their narrow lens and if they fail to see things as they do, then they are ready to criticise and denounce them. Such individuals are candidates for some insane asylum. They may never get ejected but they are candidates just the same. We view them as dangerous to society and the organization. We know of some Ministers who are not satisfied with their high and exalted positions to which they have been placed but seek to either dictate or run every other person's official duty and even dictate to the churches what they should do. We pity such an individual, as he usus ally is short lived. Household Philosophy "Strange what a difference there is in mild the household philosopher, "the sweet things we need and things we want.

SATISFIED WITH DULL LIVES Siamese Require Little, and Have a Government Which Sees That They Get It. Bangkok, for all its modern waterworks and trolley cars, is a fairy-tale land, with a fairy-tale king, writes Florence Burgess Meehan in Asia Magazine. In Bangkok the king is a reality, not a figurehead. Two or three times a day whistles announce his approach along the street, as he takes the route to or from the golden-roofed palace and the audience hall two miles distant. Rama VI, Oxford graduate, playwright, poet and keen administrator—is perhaps the most absolute of all the monarchs left on earth. He is an autocrat, but his government is more like an advanced state socialism than anything else. The state owes the main lines of the railroads, the oil fields, the forest and the mines. The street cars and waterworks and the lighting system of the capital are state property, and the king is the state. Slamsees are satisfied with autocracy. Slam seems to be the happiest land in the world. It has no exclusion laws. It has no class struggle. They are a happy-go-lucky people. Their by-word is "Mypenary?" ("What does it matter?"). They cultivate their little rice paddies, and work at jewelery or ivory carving or weaving, but they almost invariably remain craftsmen in a small way, content with a mere livelihood. DAY OF HORSE ALMOST GONE Increasing Use of Motor Apparatus Will Soon Make Him Only a Loving Memory. A defective fire had brought the fire department to Tenth and Tecumseh streets. New, bright red motor apparatus came rushing up from a half-dozen firehouses. Presently a worn old hook and ladder track, horse-drawn, appeared on the scene. It carried just the ladders the firemen needed to reach the fire. The crowd that gathered smiled at the picture. The old horses seemed to know that they were playing an important part, even in the presence of their enemies, the motor apparatus. It was a picture of a changing time. One by one the motor machines turned away, leaving the horse machine to shuffle the job. Somehow, the crowd moved toward the horses and, one by one, men, women and children, passed to stretch the masses or pal the names of the faithful old hearts that now are fast passing to the Land of Memory. And, somehow, the horses moved to know and undreaded. Their heads were not down, however. Instead, they hooked around and saw that the enemy had left the fight to them. "Still on the job," they would have said had the crowd the power to understand them. You, still on the job, but—going—going—Indiana News. National Museum Geo Opals The National museum in Washington has just received from Archer Rice, an opal expert in New York, 100 specimens of gem opal in the rough just as they come from the only opal mines in the United States. The opals are red, white, blue, black, brown, green and purple; two have replaced fossil wood, and three possibly fossil bones. The mine is located in Humboldt county, Nevada, about a mile above sea level and some 200 miles inland from the Pacific; not very accessible, since the railroad town of Winnebucca is about 120 miles away. Because of the high altitude, the ordinary water content of the opals is often injuriously affected when they are removed from the ground. Thus far, excavation for opals has gone only to a depth of 20 or 30 feet. Prickly Pear Worries Australians. The kind of cactus which we called the "prickly pear" has become a first-class nuisance in Australia. It grows very fast, spreads with great rapidity and forms masses of vegetation so dense that the clearing of ground once occupied by the plant is accomplished with utmost difficulty. Incidentally, it renders the land unavailable for agricultural purposes. In response to urgent request, our government is sending to Australia, certain insects that prey upon the prickly pear. Hope is entertained that they may do enough damage to discourage the spread of the cactus plague in that part of the world.—Philadelphia Ledger. Cheap Light. Science and Invention describes a recent achievement of a French scientist, who has successfully tried out in his house a scheme for operating electric lights without cost. Upon his water-supply pipe he has fitted a high-speed water turbine, which drives a dynamo, charging a storage battery. Every time a faucet is turned on in the house the stream of water is put to work at loading the battery, which furnishes current for the lights. "It is simply utilizing energy that is ordinarily wasted," says the inventor—Philadelphia Ledger. Overzealous. "What is your iden of a grater?"

Ward Greer, Pres. Mrs. Georgia E. Brown, Cor. Sec. NEBULA SHOWS SOME SPEED Body Flying Through the Heavens at Rate of Two Thousand Kilimeters a Second. The Lowell observatory in Flagstaff, Ariz., has held a stop watch on the fastest moving object ever discovered. The spiral nebula catalogued as No. 584, Dreyer's catalogue, constellation of Cetus, is flying through the heavens at the rate of 2,000 kilometers a second. An airplane going at this speed would circumnavigate the earth at the equator in less than half a minute. The spiral nebula are the swiftest moving objects in the known universe, but no one has ever before been detected shooting through the heavens at much more than half the speed of 584-Dreyer-Cetus. Most stars move slowly and sedately along at about 100 kilometers a second. What is perhaps rather humiliating to us earth dwellers is the fact that 584-Dreyer-Cetus is moving in the direction away from our own earth and sun. Of course the speed of light, which is nearly 300,000 kilometers a second, makes the speed of the spiral nebula seem insignificant. But light does not have to "carry weight," whereas the nebulae, though perhaps an extremely diffuse and tenuous form of matter, are none the less material objects of quite considerable ponderosity. So until we get later news from the celestial racetracks, we can state that the spiral nebula In Cetus is the speediest thing coming down the "celestial pike."—New York Independent.

In every one of the larger cities of the Philippines and throughout every one of the thousands of little barrios—from northern Luzon to southern Mindanao—little barrios that fringe the ocean's edge or nestle among the hills, there is but one universal and adored sport, but one game that is pre-eminently popular from the mountain fastnesses of the headhunters to the southern shores of Moro Island, and that is cock fighting. ```markdown ``` Mme.
