the Blessings of the Giver," was sick,
and DR.. Bailey took up the theme. He
said in part:
"There are many graces that we may
cultivate our nature with, but the most
divine is giving.
1--WE come on earth as receivers, but as
we grow the order of things changes and
we come TO be givers.
Don't let US narrow the idea and think
giving refers to dollars and cents. We
must give ourselves.
THAT is noble divine grace. But dol
lars and cents ara necessary, too. for our
board of missions constantly need money
and are now in debt.
"We. have over 100000 members and
are one of the wealthiest church denom-
nations in existence.
If each member would contribute T5
cents the Mission church debt would be
wiped out. Then would the work of
Christ continue to be carried to the
heather.
sin wiping out this debt a divine gift
would be made.
The Presbyterian church can never
afford to say 10 its missionary boards we
must quit and starve the missionaries"

up in them. That is q dangerous state.

The Western States Deep Water con-

gotten up for the health of the indiv1d-
uals who are managing it if the story
told a STATE JOURNAL reporter by
prominent Kansan is true.
This Ksusan is a man who has had COR
siderable experience in matters of legis-
lation, both state and. national, and he
says the real object of this conference
was to assist in getting money from the
government.
He said: alt is true that some of thu
people interested in this conference are
conscientiously working for deep har-
Dor on the gulf coast, but it is also true
that for the most part the deep water
boomers are set of Texas promoters,
congressional lobbyists and big con-
tractors who want to work the govern
ment for more appropriations. II they
get appropriations from the government

themselves admit that it will take So,
$4,000 more, or one million dollars more
than is appropriated to complete the
work.
''While the Galveston men say they
don't want any more help from the gov
ernmeut and it may be possible for them
TO complete their harbor without gov
eminent aid, it is still fact that there
are now seven points on the gulf coast
where the United States is helping to
build harbors aud every one of these
points wants more money.
This conference Is intended to arouse
an interest in that work in the north and
west so that when the southern fellows
call on congress for help the western and
northern states Representatives will vote
for their appropriations.
