The Missionary Convention.

The Missionary Convention, Of the Spring
field District, commenced its session in High
Street NJ. E. Church, ou Tuesday evening,
with a sermon by DR.. Bayliss, editor OF the
Western Christian Advocate. Notwithstand-
ing the storm in the early part of the evening,
and the tbreatning weather indications at the
hour of service, the church was well filled.
The fine choir OF High Street Church dis
coursed some very sweet music preliminary to
the formal service OF the hour. The sermon
by DR.. Bayliss, being discussion OF some Of
the reasons for prosecuting missionary work,
was a very eloquent discourse, holding the
closest attention of the audience to tie last.
"Chaplain" McCabc followed DR.. Bsylss in
a briei talk, in his own inmitable Style, clos
ing with a song Cast thy bread upon the
waters" The "Chsplain" has lost
none Of his power in the use o.
his msrvelously 6ne voice. 1t is a very rare
thing, indeed, that one man is SO richly en-
| dowed with the gift o. song and eloquence.
We observed among the ministerial visitor s
present in the audience, Rev. Or. Pesrne and
Rev. F. G. Mitchell, Of Urbana Rev. DR..
Rust and Rev. T. Uollett, of Dayton, Rev. A.
n. Spahr, Rev. NJ. NJ. Kugler, Rev. NJ. Kaui-
man, Rev. G. W. Kelly, Rev. N. Sites, re-
turned mi: sionary from China, Rev. N. p
Gaddis and many others.
| At o o'clock this morning the missionary
| love-ieast was held in the Central church,
Rev. A. N. Spahr presiding. The opening
devotional exercises were conducted by Or.
Pearne, after which remarks were made by
DR.. Leonard, DR.. McCabe, Rev. N. Kaufman,
Rev. H. Witham, DR.. Marlay Rev. F. G.
Mitchell, Dr. Rust, Rev. G. W. Kelly, Rev.
N. P. Gsddis and others, all bearing on the
great missionary interest of the church, and
nearly every one expressing the opinion
that the Methodist Episcopal Church is
abuudantly able TO pay the million for mis-
| sions, not only this year, but every year. Al
| To- 80 o'clock Rev. N Sites, d. D., Of China
where he has labored as missionary for
quarter OF a century, nearly, spoke on "Chin,
AMI It's Needs" He gave graphic descril
ton of the country, its geographical position
its teeming population OF three or four hun
dred million, their social and moral ondi.
| Ion, and their great need of the evsngelizlng
| power OF the Gospel. In 1912 the work o.
Christian missions began in China, which, uE
to that time, had been vigorously closed
against the gospel. Since that time the work
has gone on with ever-increasing interest anC
promise of ultimate success. DR.. Sites gave
some exceedingly interesting sketches OF hi
personal observations in that country, ant
closed with very earnest appeal tC Christ
ians to sustain the good work by their prayer
and money.

500 worth OF the goods taken by John Davis
from the Coffin factory. Norton in some
manner discovered that they were in the pos

who lives in London. He went over to that
city yesterday and took possession OF the ar
ticles, finding some OF them at the dressnaking
establishment of Mrs. George Curley, where
they had been LETT by the o'Day woman to be
made up, and some at the latter's house al
ready made into dresses. Nortons find con-
ssts of one black velvet dress containing fif-
teen yards OF velvet, one black cloth dress Of
fifteen yards, nine yards of very fine satin
lace, one dress pattern of purple satin, con-
tanning fifteen yards, and a quantity OF white
lace. The entire outfit was brought to

Petty Larceny.

The notorious "Shiner" johnson, as he
went past Wren's store this morning, helped
himself to lady's jersey which was hanging
outside. Sinner was pursued by one OF the
clerks, who, ia his excitement, omitted the
iormality of putting on lis hat. Both par
ties turned into the alley by the bank, ran
down Primrose alley, and turned west on
Main. Wilson joined the procession shortly
after its appearance ON Main street and
shouted TO Norton, who was standing on the
corner near the gonda bank, to head ofI
the "dark horse" 10 the race. Norton and
the man with whom he had been talking,

In the structure of the human foot
there is an application of the bridging
principle unequaled in any branch OF
mechanism. In the foot there is u
double arch. longitudinal arch and a
transverse arch. The hollow portion
between the two extremities of the
arch is filled in with soft tissue, and
from the bone OF the heel to bone
near the toe runs a strong ligamentous
band. The bridge Of the foot has to
sustain the superinduced weight of the
body, and whatever we carry in our
hands, and is especially SO constructed
that we can run. walk, leap and climb
as the case might be. An artificial
bridge has only to sustain the
weight it is subjected to. The
parts OF the foot are so arranged
as to allow a little movement among
them, though the aggregate move-
ment Of the whole foot is comparatively
great. No sensible person thinks there
Is anything ugly in perfectly formed
foot, yet every attempt made to model
shoe to the form Of the foot has been
met by the objection that something
very inelegant must be the result. The
idea Of inelegance in boot which fits
the foot properly is nothing after all,
for 1t is not SO much matter Of fact
that rules, as fashion. Fashion is very
arbitrary, indeed, and makes a great
change in our outward appearance.
Coverings for the foot began with san
dals. After these came shoes left open
At the toes, then the wooden shoe Of
the ninth and tenth century, followed,
in the middle ages, by shoes with long
pointed and turned Hp toes. which
sometimes turned up as high as tho
knee. Later shoe was worn with an
exceedingly wide toe. SO very wide
that it impeded the process of walking. .
Queen Mary restricted the wearing Of
this shoe by proclamation. The pro-
clamation ran to the effect that shoes
should pot be worn wider than six
inches. So it is seen that the idea of q
beautiful foot has changed very much.
After once wearing boot that fits
really good we look upon all others
with disgust. Ingraham.
