Olive Baptist Association: In coming before you, this the fifth time, as President of the Ministers' and Deacons' Union, my soul rejoices anew, and my heart goes out in grateful praise and thanksgiving to the Great Creator for the many blessings which have been ours since our last annual meeting. Brethren, I can not forego the duty which evolves the object, aim and scope of the work of the Ministers' and Deacons' Association. In the almost universal turmoil and crisis through which the human race is now passing, and with which every phase of human interest must concern itself, the great Baptist Church has not been able and is not now able to stand aside and await the outcome of the issue. The people's fight has always been the fight of justice and right against injustice and wrong. We must, therefore, take a stand and go to the side of right wherever and whenever she perches her banner. But, that we might be and remain a powerful and potent factor for good among our fellowmen, it was and is very necessary that we, at times carry a greater influence and weild a more potential power than any one among us may possess. The Ministers' and Deacons' Union is a powerful factor in supplying the union of interest and cooperation of action which alone can keep our ranks up to the standard of ministerial efficiency. And so, brethren, the Ministers' and Deacons' Union, because of those principles for which it stands, and because of the effect which it seeks to produce, commends itself to all ministers and deacons who seek to attain a higher plane of efficient Christian service and a broader field of Christian activity through a closer union and a more active spirit of interdependency on the part of all those who heed the call to carry God's living word to every creature of the earth. Brother Moderator and messengers, many things have transpired since our last annual meeting; some of these were favorable to our cause and some were not. With atheists and polytheists showing their deceptive heads all about us, with the forces which oppose devine truth, freedom and love asserting themselves in unison, with skepticism surplanting faith in baptism, and with the ranks of the infidel constantly increasing, the Ministers' and Deacons' Union, working in strict accord and perfect harmony with this Association, must present against the evil forces a solid phalanx which shall be capable of both repelling every force of sin, injustice and wrong, and at the same time withstand every assault which may come against us. To this end, the Ministers' and Deacons' Union should be co-extensive with this Association itself. Their mission is one, their cause is the same. They must rally around the same banner, until they both shall "come rejoicing, bringing in their sheaves." Results All That Count. Who make whether the enemy were dalented by strategy or by valor!

Aborigines of Persia offered honey to the sun. Greeks still mix it with milk of water and use it as a dilation to the dead. In one section of India milk and honey are handed to all bridegrooms as they arrive at the door of the bride's father, and in ancient Egypt honey was long a chief ingredient of embalming fluid METROPOLIS, Names A General Committee of Safety. Vamps and Tramps Denounced. Construction Keynote. The so row attending the death of our lamented Dr. C. J. W. Boyd, is yet upon us. Recently I visited St. Louis and Indi nopolis and found the entire Baptist family awake, alive and alert to the call of the hour. I watched Dr. J. W. Hurst as he presided over the destiny of the Baptists of Missouri at St. Louis. The Conventions was ideal and its leader true to the ideals of construction and formulated plans looking forward and upward. God grant that the Baptists of Missouri the success that they deserve. They stand for the Publishing plant and the Theological Seminary. At Indianopolis, Drs. Lewis, Morris, Ferrell, Young Lilliard, Leonard, Seymour and Henson are battling as never before and in their pathway can be observed a consciousness of duty. I can never forget their kindness. They are individually men of vision and foresight My stay was calculated to increase the enthusiasm so wonderfully enhanced at New Orleans. They heartily endorsed the election of Dr. G. A. Long, as the successor of Dr. C. J. W. Boyd, and promised their unstinted support to the cause as dear to them as life. To them the entire denomination gracefully locks for assistance and guidance. It will scarcely be necessary to insist that our breteren will on this hallowed occasion remember the cause of foreign mission Dr. N. W. Bowen of Spar anburg, who has resigned his splendid congregation to give his entire time to this work is somewhat disappointed because of the inactivity of a large number of our distinguished pastors to this vital phase of our work The calls upon him and upon the chairman Dr. John H. Frank from Africa are many and I plead and pray that ere the clock strikes twelve ushering the new year that a splendid offering will be raised for this particular purpose and sent immediately to relieve an embaressing situation. The importance of impressing our pastors with regard to Ministers whose only stock and trade is to hike from place to place in the name of some particular Board without proper credentials cannot be too emphatically stated. No credential is valid unless signed by the chairman of the Board as well as the corresponding secretary. Wise selections will no doubt be made by them, but the day is not distant when men whose accomplishments spell only disgrace to the profession and denomination must be relegated and stored away as are the Vamps of other professions. I entreat the brethren that before they give audience to these misguided assuming character that they look closely at their representations. Dr. G. A. Long and Dr. Prince of our Educational Board are a- Evanston, Ill Dec. 14, 1921 Watch Meeting Night TRAMPS AND VAMPS wake and astir and will only sanction such agencies as are proper and right. Sunday School Literature. The entire denomination will hail with pleasure the great improvement at our Publishing House No cause for delay longer exists. Literature may be nad at a moment notice and I am calling upon our superintendents through or pastors to at least increase your order for the new quarter that is upon us. It means help to an enterprise without which the denomination could not raise its head in self respect. Dr. R. H. Boyd, is again at himself and the wheels of our grand old publishing plant are singing the song of triumph as they hand to the world the triumph as they hand to the world the triumph of Negro Brain and Industry. Send also as many subscriptions as are possible for our national organ, the Union Review. Calls Upon Safety Committee At Nashville, January 25th, at 10 a.m. the Executive Board of the National Baptist Convention will confer with many of the distinguished pastors all over the union upon matters fundamental and germane to the future advancement of the denomination. The day of idleness is past. It is now do or crushing shame will smite the splendid work already accomplished in Educational work. Dr. Boyd sleeps, the work must go on $2500.00 must be raised on the 25th of January or failure marks our efforts. I believe the brethren will respond to this request. Dr. G. A Long, has resigned his splendid church at Helena, and has come to Nashville, bringing a ripened experience to our great institution. Will we disappoint him? He is our servant, he is in our stead at Nashville, facing stern realities that must be removed. One hundred pastors can send in $25.00 each as a donation from their congregation and relieve the situation. A splendid program will be arranged for this meeting and the prospects are that when the sun sets on the 25th day of January the World will know that that particular family of Baptist who met In New Orleans in September, are determined that Christian Education fostered by Baptists shall not have perished from the earth. In God's name I am your Servant. Waukegan, Ill., Dec.—The official record of the Sangamon county board of supervisors, impounded last week by Judge Edwards after he had personally examined its apparent falsification, is locked up in the safe of the circuit clerk of Lake county, with instructions from the court to permit no one one to examine it without permission of the court. When the state's case against the Governor is taken up Thursday December 15, attorneys for the state are expected to make strenuous efforts to of-fset the discovery of the Governor's Attorneys that the record had been tampered with for the alleged purpose, as the defense claims of attempting to legalize the meeting of the board at which the grand jury which indicted the Governor was selected. This was done it is charged by adding to the original record a definite date to which the Board adjourned. "Thursday, September 16, 1921. The exposure of the alleged falsification of records came when County Clerk Byers was on the stand, Mr. Pree, examining him, stated that it was for the purpose of showing that the certified copy of the board minutes, introduced by the defense, and sworn to by Mr. Byers himself, contained errors which Mr. Byers desired Discovery of the alleged falsification came as Mr. Byers was cross-examined by Mr. Le Forgee, chief counsel for Governor Small. A synopsis of the official court reportets record of Mr. Byers testimony is as follows: Mr. LeForgee (on cross examination)—Now, where was the particular difference between the amended copy that you gave out in the second instance? A—The only difference is on adjournment on the first day of the September session A. D. 1920. Q—Isn't it true that upon the face of that record that it clearly discloses upon the face of that page that there have been certain erasures made there and particularly with reference to the date and time of the adjournment? A—No, sir. Q—I will ask you to examine the word "Thursday" as it is written on the page, on that sneet and state to the court whether o not there is in your judgement any evidence of an erasure?—No, sir, there isn't I beg your pardon Mr. LeForgee ASKS CLOSE SCRUTINY Mr. LeForgee—Now, Mr. Byers, I wish you would examine the line to which you referred, and I will ask you to look at it closely under the light and to state to the court whether or not from the examination you have made it appears upon the sheet, upon that page, with reference to those lines containing the following words, "upon motion of Mr. Becker the board adjourned until 10 o'clock Thursday morning, September 16, 1920," whether or not as you now look upon the page of that record there is any erasure or has been any erasure of any of the words as written in those two lines? A—I do not observe any erasures, no, sir. Mr. LeForgee—And there is nothing in the work to indicate to you that the word "Thursday" has ever been in any way erased, modified changed or written in place of anything, is there? A—I do not. Mr. Pree—To which we object for the same reason. The Court—Overruled THE TELLTALE RECORD Mr. LeForgee—Now, Mr. Byers, I want you to examine that sheet and those lines which I now hand you and tell this court if it isn't true that that record discloses upou's face that after the word "morning" following the word "Thursday" is a period. A—It does not show very plainly, Mr. LeForgee. It may be taken for a period, it might be taken for a comma. Q—I want you to tell this court if it isn't also true upon the face of the record that you have submitted to this court that the words "September 10, 1920," isn't written in a different ink from the preceding words in the two paragraph A—I don't think so, Mr. LeForgee. It it is I do not know, I could not say. Q—Mr. Byers you are not color blind, are you? A—No, sir. TWO COLORS OF INK Q—I will ask you to examine that more closely and state to this court if it isn't true that the words "September 16, 1920" are not written in a different colored ink than the first part of that sentence and if it isn't then followed with a period, and if there isn't then written in a different colored ink by typewriter, "September 16, 1920? A—It is all dark ink Mr. LeForgee. Q—I didn't ask you that A—I do not discover any different color. Mr. LeForgee—Well, I very respectfully submit this to the examination of the court if there isn't. The Court—I have examined it. This book has been offered in evidence and it admitted. I am going to impound this book here. INFORMATION WANTED Anyone knowing the whereabouts of Rev. Thos Turner, the Missionary for the Mt. Olive Baptist Association, please notify this office at once, as we have business of importance with him. The Editor. To Uncle "Santa" Dear Uncle "Santa": Just a short letter from your two little boys to remind you of the fact that we are still living and would like to have you bring us a few things for Xmas.

Uncle "Santa," my mother says it is useless for you to bring either of us many toys, as we don't keep them long before they up, and we had rather you would bring us things we really need. Wishing you a jolly Christmas, and a Happy New Year, we are your dear little boys, Joseph Edgar, Preston Simmons Levon McCrary.

Why continue to endure it—to sacrifice your youth, beauty, and enjoyment to it? The combination of simple harmless medicines found in Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills is especially effective in relieving pain without bad after-effects. For more than thirty-five years sufferers from headache, neuralgia, backache, toothache, sciatica and pains from other causes have found relief by taking these pills. Why don't you try them?

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 dielectric features of the season, especially the heavy atmosphere, is unnove, and the origin of the term equally so. Different explanations have been given of both, but they seem to be largely unreliable. Read The Gazette.

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 Tubes When this tube inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect bearing, 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.

S., for the amusement and past time of the so-clled christian nation. There are better people in hell today than those who tolerate and conceive this barbarous practice. The president and congress are too busy with the more weightier matters, now claiming their attention; than that of murder and rapine by one race against another? While they dwell on technicalities of the law as to the passage of the Dyer Bill which was drawn to remedy this great sin and blot upon this history of a country which purports to stand up for humanity. Why not pass this law first, and then the people of the world will believe you are sincere in your advocacy of declaration of "Equal and Exact Justice to all." Righteousness exalts a Nation, but, sin is a reproach to any people, is the fiat of Devine Justice. Where there is confidence, there is peace and happiness, but in the absence of this virtue, home, business, church or society are rent asunder. In the multitude of counsel, the (right kind) there is safety. PUBLICATION NOTICE. State of Illinois, Massac County, ss Circuit Court of Massac County, January Term, A. D. 1922.

Loren Smitd, clerk of the Circitit Court. Dec. 9th 1921. From what we can see in the indictments attend of the pieddings of Gov. Small's attorneys last week, giving reasons for quashing the indictments, there are good and sufficient ground for granting the request. The evidence presented shows conclusively that the political enemies of the Governor, plotted to hamper his administration and prevent him from making good his pre-election promises, and to otherwise kill his political ambition. It will be up to the court and jury to say whether such dirty politics shall have their stamp of approval. The people are thoroughly disgusted with the way that he has been handled, even men who voted against him say that it is a persecution instead of a prosecution.
