the principal agents being the Ameri-
can Board of Foreign Missions; the
American Missionary association, the
Congregational Home Missionary So
ciety; the Congregational Education
society, the Church Building society,
the Congregational Sunday-School and
Publication society and the National
Councils Ministerial Relief fund.
The American Board of Commits
sioners for Foreign Missions is body
famous the world over. 1t was organ
lied in 1910, and has, since its organiza-
ton, sent out over 1000 mission
aries, of whom 575 are now in service.
The mission fields at present occupied
are Mexico, Hawaii, Japan, North
China, Northwest China; Foo Chow
and Hong Kong, in Southern China;
Ceylon, Madura, in Southern India;
the Marathi field of Western India,
East Central Africa, Southern Africa,
West Central Africa, Eastern, Central
and Western Turkey, European Tur-
key, Austria and Spain. The total
missionary force employed, including
missionaries, steachers, native pastors
and other native assistants, number
1895. The president of the American
board is Richard S. Storrs, ID. D.,
LII. d., the famous Brooklyn preacher.
The annual meeting of the board will
take place at Brooklyn, N. Y, October
1918.
The Congregational Home Missionary
society, of which Gen. o. o. Howard is
president, has done much TO advance
the interests of the denomination in
the west and northwest. It's business
is conducted along conservative lines,
new churches being established only
where there seems to be an actual de-
mand. The work of this society is
made particularly effective through the
earnest cooperation of the women of
the church who contribute Literally to
its funds and do most of its charitable
work. The American Missionary asso-
citation, whose headquarters are located
in the Bible house, New York, main
tains evangelistic and educational
missions in the south and among the
Indians and Chinese of the west. Its
churches and schools are open alike to
all, irrespective of race or color. The
principal office of the Congregational
Sunday-School and Publishing society
is located at Boston, with branch at
Chicago. This organization employs
Sunday-school missionaries; organizes
Sunday-schools in neglected regions,
and furnishes supplies to needy Sum
day-schools.
All of these great societies will be
represented at Syracuse by their
ablest officials; and so will hundreds of

diligence. There is no limit to the
number of wives man may have. He
regulates that by the uses he can put
them to; but, in order to get new
wife, the president of the church must
first have a vision" commanding him
to do so, and these visions are regu-
lated by the mans usefulness to the
church, or direct OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES as
political forms are granted. When a
Mormon in the rural districts brings
home new wife he adds room to his
log house, and the house, five or six
rooms long, tells the story.
But that Is not legal evidence, and
the reason that the anti-polygamy aw
has not, and cannot, suppress polygamy
is that the marriages are performed in
secret, and that both the men and the
women, living in polygamy, will swear
that they are not so living. They
know that they are safe from pros
ecution, because no record of the mar
riage exists, and they ease their con-
sciences with the belief that Gentle
court has no authority to administer
an oath to Latter Lay Saint, on the
same principle that Chinese does not
consider an oath as binding unless ac-
companied by the ceremonial of cut
ting off ROSTERS head and then dip
ping his hands in the blood.
When prosecutions first began under
the anti-polygamy law OF 1882, the off,

correctly banks the answers. He per-
forms other remarkable feats, and it is
difficult to understand his aptitude and
brightness. The man who owns him
claims that he has refused three offers
of $4,000 for the dog, made by show
men, and says that Tony Pastor de-
clared that he would pay even more
than that amount for him. AS a mat
ter of fact, the dog has proportionately
better brains than his master. He
knows that unless he barlzs as long as
his masters eye is fixed upon him he
will be beaten and kicked almost to
death. Therefore, when his master,
who is sometimes sober, talking with
his back to the dog, says: Jack, how
many are five times five?" the dog
knows no more than stone what is
wanted of him; but when he sees his
blear-eyed master turning around and
glazing at him, he commences to bark.
Just as he concludes his twenty-ffth
bark, his master turns with smile 10
the crowd, and the dog quits barking.
Everybody thinks that the dog is a
mathematician; but the master knows
that he is fallir, and the dog evidently
suspects it.

Deadheadism Is Dying Out.

The days of big free lunches by the
sergeant-at-arms of the senate, and free
transportation everywhere for all SEN
ate officials and employees, has become
Renaissance. Those affairs were all
paid for by the money of the people,
and considerable extravaganza was in
dulged in by everybody. The time
came, however, when the facts became
apparent to the general public, and, the
result was carcfulness and honesty, in
the expenditure of public funds For
many years after the civil war there
was great degree of lavishness in the
management of public funds. The
long-conHnued war not only brought
poverty to the masses, but 1t brought
wealth to the classes. That has been
the history of every country that has
engaged in war. The government is
to-day economically administered, not
only in the executive, but also in the
Legislative branch. There are no longer
kings of the lobby, VIGOROUSLY swag-
gering about the capitol displaying
their wealth and influencing" legisla-
ton which will further enrich them.
A new generation has grown up since
the civil war, and they have chosen
new representatives in both houses of
congress. Moreover, the moral tone of
the country has been wonderfully cle-
waited, and the effect is seen here more
noticeably than anywhere else in the
land. SMITH ID. Fry.

ing their cooking by the wayside. About
q week before the conference meets the
roads are crowded with wagons loaded
with women and children, and camp
ing equipage, with long lines of men
and boys following IL. the rear, like
pioneers cmigrating from civilization
into the wilderness. These lines are
picturesque in their primitiveness, not
so much now rs in the early days be-
fore the transcontinental road let civ
ilization in, but they present re-
marlSable picture OF the early Mormon,
whose ignorance and fanaticism have
not been removed by surrounding civ
ilization.
Railroads extend through some por-
tions of Utah, but there are some por-
tions where civilization mas not pene-
trated--the baclSwoods districts as in
some of the states-and where igno-
rance and superstition are as rank,
and hatred to the Gentle world Is as
bitter as when they were driven from
Nauvoo, ILL.,, more than half century
ago.
This type of Mormons, and their de-
scendants, prefer the primitive style of
life, and visit the conferences in the
primitive manner; while others on rail
road lines win not go by rail because
they are Gentle institutions"
On arriving, they camp in the SUI
burbs until the conference is over,
usually week. At the conference the
marriages that have been Matching for
the past six months are celebrated in
the temple. There are as many mar
riagcs now rs before the anti-polygamy
law was passed; in fact, more, because
their numbers are increasing, mainly
from converts from the most benightcd
districts of Europe. These people ever
remain aliens, few of them learning
our language. They regard the Nor
mon hierarchy as the only government
they owe allegiance to.
Marriages, to be binding in the next
world as well as in this, must be cele-
brated in the temple. Hence the rush
to the semi-annual conferences. A
jealous Mormon usually brings in three
or four brides, and in order to save
time he is married to all of them at
once. He may not bring in any more
at the next conference unless he has
found that some of his wives possess
the ''evil spirit of disobedience," in
which case he gets permission from tho
president of the church to "put her
aside'-by the payment of fee, regu-
lated by his ability to purchase the in

1877; the fourth at st. Louis, Mo-, in
1880; the fifth at Concord, N. H., in
1888; the sixth at Chicago, in 1885,; the
seventh at Worcester, Mass, in 1899; the
eighth@at Minneapolis, Mimi, in 1892.
The ninth will meet at Syracuse, NY,
October 8, and remain in session until
the 14th.
The council will be called to order by
Rev. Alonzo III. Quint, of Massachu-
sets, who was elected moderator three
years ago. The election of his success
sor will be the first business to come
before the assembly, it being tradi-
ton that no moderator shall serve
more than one term. The other ma
tional officers will probably be re-
elected without opposition. They are:
Secretary, Rev. II. A. Hazen, d. D., of
Massachusetts,; treasurer, Rev. S. Il.
Forbes, of Connecticut; registrar, Rev.
w. Ii. Moore. of Connecticut.
According to the census report of
1890 the Congregational church in the
United states has total membership of
5l2,771, divided into 4,S6S societies, and
church property valued at s43, ,437.

work is conducted on liberal scale,

local charitable and missionary associa-
tions and circles.
Among the hundreds of eminent men
who will represent local churches or
societies at the council will be Senator
Frye, of Maine; Senator Kyle, of South
Dakota; Dwight l.. Moody, the evan
gelist; Rev. +. w. Gunsaulus, of Chi
cago; Rev. DIR. Storrs. of Brooklyn, N
Y; Rev. DIR. Lyman Abbott, of Brook
Ign, editor of the Outlook and Beecher's
successor as pastor of Plymouth church;
President Jordan, of Stanford universe
ty; President Hyde, of Bowdoin col
lege; President Tucker, of Dartmouth
college; Rev. Washington GLADDEN., of
Ohio; Rev. Francis e. Clark, of Boston,
founder of the Christian Endeavor So
ciety, and scores of others of equal
prominence.
The general interest taken in all acts
of the Congregational church may be
ascribed, in n measure at least, to the
fact that it's present membership con-
sists largely of the descendants of the
MayHower pilgrims. And this thought
suggests the necessity of pointing out
the difference between the pilgrims
and puritans, which is explained by
the Advance Almanac, published at
Chicago.
After the reformation, says this
useful handbook, there were indie
pendent churches; but the first church
of American Congrcgationalism was
formed in Scrooby, England, in 1905;
prosecuted to Amsterdam, Holland, in
1907; moved to Leyden in 1908; sailed
from Delftshaven July %, 1920; foated
in the Mayfower four months, and
landed at Plymouth December 81, 1920.
The pilgrims were different from the
puritans. The puritans left England
to enjoy unmolested purer worship as
members of the Church of England,
though they soon found connection
with the established church impracti-
cable and organized as Congregational
the first church of Salem in 1923, and
the first church of Boston in 1880.
The puritans were John Winthrop, Sir
Richard Saltonstall, George Phillips,
John Cotton, Richard Mather and In
crease Mather. The pilgrims were
Gov. William Bradford, Gov John
Carver, Gov. Edward Winslow, William
Brewster, Capt. Miles Standish and
John Alden.
In Great Britain the Congregational
lists are known as Independents. De-
spite persecution the denomination has
prospered, and now has membership
of over half million, and maintains a
number of educational institutions,
many of which have been placed under
government protection. Congregational
statistics for the whole world are as
follows:

Hard to XIII.

The following story OK scorpion
getting into boot is told at the ex-
pense of an officer who was stationed
with his regiment at Allahabad. He
was putting on his boots one morning
and was just about to stamp the heel
down when he felt a sharp prick. Sew
eral scorpions had been seen about the
barracks for the past few weeks, so
that he naturally concluded that it was
one of these pests that had stung him.
"Well, the harms done now" he NUT
tered, with mental benediction upon
the head OF his servant for being so
careless; ''but, anyhow, may as we'll
kill the brute. It'll get away if 1 take
the boot off," Accordingly, he began
stamping violently on the floor, with a
view to crushing the life out of the
scorpion. Every time he stamped it
gave him the greatest agony, but he
stuck bravely to it until at last he
thought that the Objectionable tenant
must be dead. When he took off his
boot, however, he felt both relieved
and vexed but was glad that he had
not summoned assistance. 1t was
years before he could tell the real story
of his scorpion, for during half an hour
he had been stamping upon and trying
to kill backing brush which his serv-
ant had accidentally left in the bottom
of his boot.-Pearson Weekly.

the left side; also the bridegroom. In
addition, he has u white linen cap,
somewhat on the style of that worn by
the busting girl" in a clearinghouse.
Previous to the ceremonial there is
representation Of the scene of the fall
of innocence in the garden Of Paradise.
One of the twelve apostles, II stated,
enacts the role of Satan, ar takes an
apple from the tree with which he
tempts Eve Tor the bride), rs she walks
into the garden. She then hands the
apple to Adam (the bridegroom, and
then Satan laughs at the fall of man
kind, and disappears through side
door, supposedly to his dominions.
1t is easy to understand what lasting
effect this strange ceremonial has upon
the untutored and superstitious mind.
The priesthood teach that as our first
parents were married in this manner,
it is the only binding ceremonial; that
they, only, are empowered TO perform
marriages, and that only those who
are married in the faith can be saved
in the life everlasting. This is why
women sink their jealousy and woman
hood and become slaves in body and in
mind. And this sacrilegious doctrine
Is preached at every conference.

Indeed! You were personally ac-
quainted with the roach? Was it John,

''Oh, no; there is no joke about this.
I'll tell you. We furnish charts Of the
coast. These charts are illuminated
with buoys, lighthouses, etc. Now the
New England coast is pretty rocky and
reefy and the bars and rocks are
marked by buoys represented on the
charts by colored inks. One day Yam
kee skipper was smashed TO pieces on
rock and raised terrible row about
the hidden reef not being laid down on
the chart. The latter came back to our
Office and an investigation demon
strated the fact that the reaches had
gained access to the ships papers and
some particular roach had eaten off the
buoy SO smoothly it could only be de-
tected with a glass by those who knew
where it ought to be. There was some
thing sweet in the ink. Since that the
charts are kept in tin cases."

the second day of his stay in the town
he was banqueted by the city and
asked for speech. He complied to the
best of his ability, and in response to
requests explained as well as he could
the workings of the government of the
greatest republic on earth. But he was
anxious to get away to his friends and
also to solve the riddle of his wonder
full reception. AT last he met an old
friend, whose first greeting was the
German for: "Why, Felter, what sort
of racket are you playing on them?"
Felter asked for an explanation, pro-
Tossing to be in the dark as to the
meaning of his friends inquiry. lie
explained: Don't you know that these
people think you are a United States
senator? The steamship people an
nounced the arrival of Senator Felter,
and our townsmen have attempted to
receive you with the honor which they
consider due your station" This was
enough for Felter. In half an hour he
left the town, and he never reentered
it. When he had concluded his visit he
started for home by another line of
steamers and paid his fare like gentle
man. u
