"What Thou Doest, Do It Quickly." You will recall the fact that some time ago we called attention to the critical illness of Dr. Dan Parish, Md. City. We were told by Missionary Thos Turner, that while in Md. City a few days ago, Eld. Parish was loaded up for the "poor farm." But the church of Mounds of which he pastored upwards of 30 years reflected, and had him brought back to his home Shame, shame on the Ministers of the denomination to allow a Minister to go to the potters home to die. We raised $117 00 at the Mt. Zion Baptist church Dewmaine, and turned the same over to Eld. C. W. Cole, to look after his wants Brethren, take up a collection at once for him at once, send same to Pastor Cole, if you like, or any one else, just so you send. The aged ministers home ought to loom up. Now, Brethren, what will we do? He that seeth his brother in need and hast this world's goods and shuttt up his bowels of compassion how dwelleth the love of God in him." An Appeal. To the various churches of the W. E. and M. Society of the Mt. Olive Baptist District Association. My very dear sisters and brothers, I am asking that you consult your worthy pastors and ask them to please join in with your mission circle, that you all awake a deep interest in the church at large to raise all the money you can and send it with your messenger to the State Association on the 17th of May at Evanston, Ill., that we might able to meet all of our obligations. We want this to be the banner year for the state spiritually and financially, you are also requested to mail your humble servant $1.00 by the 14th for the expenses to the State Association. Mrs. L. Leake, 603 Cormick St. Centralia, Ill. Golconda, 5, 9, 1921 We have just rounded in home from the field, after making the following places:—Colp, Dewmaine, Carbondale, Murphysboro, Duquoin and Centralia. The brethren in their fields of labor are moving on nicely. Elds. J. D. Davis Colp, is on the job. D. G. Braxton, is around and about, Eld. A. J Bowers is on the spot, S. H. Pruitt, is "standing by the stuff" Dr. G. W. Dorsey, was just leaving Carbondale; He had received the sad intelligence of the death of his dahghter, she lived in Evansville, Ind. However, his footprints are seen about the Hopewell Baptist church. Dr. William Moody, is very hopeful about the work of the Rock Hill Bap. church Eld. A R. McKee, after a Sunday or two's absence rounded in on Sunday a m. to appear before his congregation at night. The Odd Fellow's held their annual service with the Bethel Baptist church at 3 p.m. Elder Pane preached the sermon. We served pastor Carter, and his congregation at 11 and evening. The pastor attended a funeral at the church at 1:30. We preached 2 nights for the Central Baptist church. Our fond hope was to preach at all the Baptist churches while in Centralia, but we feiled to connect, but must return soon to serve pastor McKee's people. He gave us a hearty welcome, and we regretted that we couldn't do the service. Eld. McKee certainly has a band of working sisters Dr. Carter, and his good people have out ran themselves, they have erected one of the nicest churches in this end of the state, their collection yesterday was near the hundred dollar mark inspite of the hard times. Quite a number of letters waited our arrival today. We received one from somewhere we know not where, as it bore no name; But at any rate it contained a clipping from the Harrisburg Register, from the pen of Eld. Graves, pastor of the Mt. Pleasant Baptist church. It says among other things in answer to a false report published in the Baptist Truth which reflects on the Baptist principles; One C. C. Phillips wrote that the white State Convention of the State had taken in 50 of the Free Will Baptist churches without a change of faith, and the Negro Baptist were irregular because they were co-operating with them in doing mission work in the State. The white Baptists can and will prove that the people changed their faith etc. Our reply is, that the reader can see from Eld Graves' production as well as, his constuction that he doesn't know what he is talking about. Either from ignorance or design, or an ambition he has plunged headlong into cold print, and has undertaken to write about something that he knows absolutely nothing about. As to the "One C. C. Phillips, our reply to that is, he is reflecting Dr. J. J. Olive; he like the Dr. has no respect for the profession; If either of them have no respect for One C. C. Phillps personally, they ought to have enough decency and common sense to respect the profession; As to their merit or demerit, it doesn't huit us to say Dr. Olive or Dr. Graves, and yet their writings show they have He like Dr Olive in a measure says when they came over without t baptism and their Free Will ordination and open communion and church federation and took quarters into the State Convention. This is what they call a change of faith. How have they changed their faith when they can go on with their open communion and falling from grace ideas all they want too. They can pastor any Baptist church in so far as the doctrine is concerned in the S are Couvention. Where are the old landmark Baptists that used to be in the Mt. Pleasant Baptist church If they are there and Eld, Graves can make good his charges he ought to be hurled from the pulpit. He certainly can't make good his charges, and the white Baptist have too much respect for the truth to try it. They know they came in that way, and they are operating an association in this end of the state. And to our knowledge they have never denied taking them over without being baptized; or rather the Free Wills took over the State convention, because the State convention accepted the Free Will doctrine, and they did not give up one iota of their doctrine The State convention said by their action that we have been in an error all the time, and you are right. Eld. Graves, attempts to defend Dr. Olive in a fraud. Dr. Olive says they have repented, believed and had already been baptized. L. not this language speak for itself? And as to the Negro Gen, State association; Bros. M. Thos, Patton, W, L. Williams, and S. Richards are charter members in the Gen. M. B. State association. They may sit mum and allow the pastor (Disaster) to mislead the church, but do not reflect any credit on themselves, nor the fathers who ditched the swamps and bridged the streams and swung the lights out in the wilderness and gave us the day that we now enjoy. Elders S. Wilson, Price, Roberts, S. Marshall, Demon, Caldwell, and a host of others whose names we cannot recall. When the early fathers fell asleep then appeared on the scene Elds. R bin on, Allison. Knowles, Paer, Howard, H Williams, Clemons, Winston and Braddock, these too have fallen asleep, but we who are yet alive must take up where they left off, and under God we will, or report the reason why We would not think of giving these two men a moment's consideration, were it not for the fact they are tampering with the doctrine of our Baptist Zion. This is no time to sling mud and pelaver, and misrepresent the truth, but give the Baptists the facts and leave the results with God. "One C. C. Phillips" ha, ha, reminds us of the story of the lamb; The story goes, "The lamb was feeding in a rich meadow, and a skunk was skulking along on the fence, and said to the lamb. I would come over and play with you, but your breath is too offensive. Ahem! Free Will Baptist Church Notes* The Eddyville Semi Annual Conference, was born in the Blue Grass State of Kentucky, the home of Lincoln. God in His wise providence saw fit to appoint this setting of Conference at the F. B. church in the beautiful city of Metropolis, on the banks vagrant stream, the Mason Dixon line, to Him we give the praise. 1st Whereas in the setting of this Conference it has never held a session in a more delightful place, and among a more congenial people, Be it resolved that we extend a vote of thanks to the good people of Metropolis for their appreciative social attitude toward the delegates. 2nd Be it further resolved that we extend thanks to the good people who opened their doors and welcomed in our delegation, and that we pray for them to live long, and be successful in their efforts for good. 3rd Be it further resolved that we thank the officers of this Conference from the worthy Moderator down to the least for the efficient service rendered in this session, 4th Whereas the noted patriarch of old said. "Music hath charms," and whereas, we have indeed been charmed by the splendid music rendered by the chorus of High school students. Be it resolved that we thank them very, very much for such soul stirring music, and assure them that we have great hope in their ability to make a name for themselves that time will not erase. 5th Whereas the literary minds of the city from different denominations, and whereas such visits has contributed to the complexion of the Conference, Be it resolved that we extend a vote of that we extend a vote of thanks to these parties and remember them in their literary struggles. 6th Be it further resolved that we thank Mr. Patterson of the local church in this city for the welcome extended of which we availed ourselves most heartily. 7th Be it further resolved that the delegates inform their churches of the splendid hospitality, and pray for the spiritual progress of the good people of the great city of Metropolis, and hope the time will speedily come when we may repay them. This being one of the grandest sessions held in the Eddyville Semi Annual Conference of Free Baptist. we can spiritually say God visited this grand meeting and made the whole Conference glad of four converts, and three additions to the little F. Baptist church of Metropolis. The amt. of money raised during the session was $389.25 Rev. E. M. Turner, Mod. Mrs. F. Willis, Clerk COLPS, ILL. To Circles of Mt. Olive District W. E. & M. Convention, President Sister Laura Leake, requests that each Circle that did not represent in the Executive Board Meeting in Duquoin, please send $2 50 to represent in the State Association and bear expenses of President to same.

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 Evanson 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 stopelling 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. Send me 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 General 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.

The churches to carry out their mission, as divinely instituted organizations must not forget the poor and needy. If a church 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 mistake 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 faller 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. NO RAINBOW AFTER DELUGE Johns Hopkins University Professor Explains How the Historic Misunderstanding Came About. The rainbow after the deluge, described in the book of Genesis 9:13, was not a rainbow after all, but a collection of great fly-bruches of the ancient oriental gods, declares Prof. Paul Haupt of Johns Hopkins university. Announcement of his discovery was made by Doctor Haupt at Goucher college, at a session of the American Oriental society, which held its one hundred and thirty-third conclave in Baltimore. The mistake in Genesis, said Professor Haupt, probably is due to a misunderstanding of a character on one of the old cuneiform tablets. The word is "bow," which could very easily be mistaken for "fly brush," he said. These huge feather brushes were in vogue among the old rulers in Assyria and Egypt, and were regarded as ancient symbols of sovereignty in the Orient. According to Doctor Haupt, the ancients naturally gave their gods credit for having fly-brushes, and in fact, in line 164 of the flood tablet the word "fly brush" appears as big as life. The passage says that "When Isat sees the gods gather around the offerer like a swarm of flies (because there had been no offerings during the flood), she is so incensed that she takes the great fly-brushes of her father, Anu (king of the gods), to drive away the gods." Britons Have New Telephone. A new telephonic device already in actual use in England is the laryngaphone, a transmitter in which a disk is placed against the throat of the speaker and the sound is transmitted by the vibration of the vocal chords, says a London dispatch to the New York Tribune. It is suitable for use in noisy factories and workrooms where the ordinary telephone mouthpiece transmitter would pick up the other sounds in the room and so prevent conversation. In appearance the laryngaphone resembles the ordinary telephone except that there is a smooth rounded rubber disk instead of a mouthpiece. The receiver is the same and the messages are received in the ordinary speaking voice. Mounds.

METROPOLIS. ILL. E. Mt. Olive Association Greeting: It is indeed a pleasure to me, as well as a duty to address you in interest of our work. I count it a sacred privilege to be one in the ranks of the christian women of this world, a participant in the efforts as a builder in the Master's cause. Since our meeting in August I have tried to look well into the work. My heart is devoted to the furtherance of this great cause. We hope to accomplish much for the Lord this year, must hard struggles and adverse circumstances, for God has declared in his holy word, "If I be for you I am more than all the world against you." Now I realize that different fields of labor require different planning, so I hope that each president of the different circles will get busy and pull off a big revival in the home work and in the near future we will be called together and decide on a universal plan to raise some money for the cause. My dear co-workers, I need your cooperation. To make this work a success naturally we must work together. We must know each other, and we must never let the spirit of jealousy-creep in among us. God's plans are pure and simple, let us adopt God's way, for man has failed every time he attempted to declare great things without the help of God. Now we must not fail to be loyal to the Home Mission Board, also to our home field, and the old Ministers Home God will judge us by our works. It is our duty to plan well for a more thorough work this year than ever before. Our Moderator Eld. J. D. Davis, is very active in trying to go over the top our next annual meeting. To be a real Woman's Auxiliary, means we must represent with something; I mean we must raise money by the hundreds. To do so it requires a program of unselfishness, an object clearly defined, and a voice by the people. Our State Work must be a real live wire in Southern Illinois. We must work to that end. We want every circle to represent in our next meeting which will convene in Evanson in May 1921. We must take the field for God, the harvest is ripe, the field is white. Let us pray the Lord to send laborers into the vineyard. Multiply your gifts by your prayers, our faith by our works, and we will go over the top this associational year for God. May God bless and direct our work. Maggie B. Taylor, President. 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 miery laves 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 one that stands out orominently condemned, and he ought to be. When a man has the brazen affronty 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 aux'ous 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 C. Philips is a down right hypocrite. Ha, ha. Read The Gazette. Notices. To the S. S. composing the Mt. Olive Baptist Sunday School convention of Southern Ill., the Executive Board appeals to each school to send up as much as they can to represent the District in State convention, which convenes in Evanston, Ill. in May. Please send representation by May 14th, send all moneys to J. W. Corneal Pres. and receive a receipt for same. 424 N. Sycamore St. 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 Tubes 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, 75c. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.

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 follow 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.
