KANSAS CHURCH AFFAIRS.
Kansas Methodists.

The fortieth annual conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church in Kansas
was in session in Leavenworth last week.
The conference was presided over by
Bishop d. A. Goodsell, of San Francis
co, Cal. The fourteen bishops of the
church in the United States alternate in
presiding over the 113 annual con-
ferences under their jurisdiction. OF the
more than million dollars raised for
missions by the M. E. church last year,
this conference raised nearly its share,
and so of the other sums raised for the
benevolences.
The Methodist Episcopal church dates
it's first work in Kansas as far back as
1929, when it established a mission at
Shawnee Mission, under charge of Rev.
Thomas johnson. The first Methodist
church organized was perfected at the
same place and by the same pastor in
March 1882, one Shawnee and one Del
aware-'a head mani being the first
converts.
The fret session of the Kansas con-
ference was held in Lawrence, October
1856, presided over by Bishop Ossman
G. Baker, after whom Baker university
was named. The session was held In
tent, and sixteen members composed the
conference, Of whom only two now sur
vive, and each is past his three score
years and ten-B. F. Bowman and J.
Dennison. The roll of the conference
now numbers 162, although its limits
now confne it to the eastern portion of
the state. From it has been formed
three other conference.-the South Kan
sas, the Southwest Kansas and the
Northwest Konsas, averaging 100 men,
bers each. The lay membership in these
four conferences is nearly 100000.

things about the school. In the cata-
logue for last year the total number OF
students was SOL. Five years ago, when
Chancellor f. II. Snow took charge,
there we're ATT. The enrolment this
year is $40, and it will probably reach
300 before the close of the term. The
seniors number 141. Last year there
were ia to whom degrees were given,
and this number included several mas

has increased from less than thirty-five

is much larger per cent. OF the stu
dents this year from Kansas than in
past years. The faculty has been in
creased slightly, and now numbers fifty

good and Jealous people as the
discovererand promoter Of exhilar-
ating beverages Of that sort and
feel safe in consuming them in
moderate quantities cannot help a
certain kindliness Of feeling to-
ward him on that account.
The upshot Of all this perver-
sion is that the enemies Of the
adversary have unwittingly carved
him out a great reputation as the
champion of personal liberty and
the purveyor Of manifold terres-
trial delights which are not neces-
sarily hurtful to those who realize
them with discretion, and which
are undeniably in favor with the
natural man. Consequently it is
easy for him to masquerade as a
public b~enefactor, and folks, with
out admitting even to themselves
how well they think Of him, grow
to feel that perhaps he has come
to be good-natured in his old age,
and that, nowadays, anyhow, his
behavior seems to be pretty square
and that, maybe, the stories of his
depravity do him an injustice.
To give the devil his due is
proverbially proper, but TO make
such a hero of him is not only in
expedient but very bad morals.
John Milton is partly to blame
for it, for he first made Satan
grand and semi-respectable, but
the work has made great progress
since his day. The pleasantest
and most ~reassuring line in the
preyer-book il that which describes
the service Of God as perfect free.

vice would be more generally dis.
seminated with due supplementary
incubation of the truth that al
the sal utary and truly pleasan'
things in life are the gifts Of Goo
and not devices Of the Evil One
Satan would come much nearer t
getting his due than he usually
does come nowadays, or is likely Il
come perhaps, until the final reck
oning.

SHORT TALKS on ADVERTISING.


copyrighted by Charles Austin Bates.)
No man has reached the acme
of business success. Heights, of
which we do not dream, will be
attained by twentieth century
merchants. / am one of those
who believe that there is no limit
to the possibilities of human
achievement.
This is the frame of mind one
gets into after looking at such
stores as Wanamaker's, Siegel,
Cooper & Co.'s, and "The Fair
in Chicago; Bloomingdale's and
Macy's, in New York.
The vast scope of such enter
prises, the magnificent system,
the quick, alert, business wit that
it takes to direct them-those give
one confidence in future successes
Fifty years ago such establish
ments were not dreamed of. What
will the next fifty years bring
forth?
These great stores owe then
growth to advertising-to the diff.
fusion of store news, for of what
use were the finest store and til,
biggest bargain if people knew
nothing Of it?
The science Of advertising is il
its infancy. 1t is growing in i'm
portance and efficiency every day
1t used to be a speculative venture
now it is a scientific certainty.
Speaking of Bloomingdale Bros
1 understand that during the frs
week of a certain sale" they haC
recently, they spent $4,000 TO
advertising, and that the estimat
ed profits on the weeks business
were $4,000.
Bloomingdale's wasn't always
big store. The brothers are bot
young men. The business ha
been built within twenty years
Built by judicious, persistent
truthful advertising, just as an,
other business may be built.
Advertising is merely tellinI
people in a telling way what yo.
can do for them. If you tell ther
often enough and in the right wa

GIVING rHE DEYlL HIs Due

THE Point Of View
The popular contemporary con-
ception of Satan is of a highly
successful man of the world. 1t
is admitted that there are shady
spots on his past history, that he
has done some things that he
should regret, that he is a hazard
Gus associate and an unsafe per-
son to have transactions with.
But conversely it is realized that
he is rich, powerful,an attractive
and intimately concerned and in
terested in promoting the material
prosperity of the human race.
He is known to be full of enter
prise aud public spirit, disposed
to make things pleasant, and pow
erful in carrying the enterprises
with which he is concerned to @
profitable issue. 1t is true that
he is understood to be unscrupu.
lous, but it is felt that success
excuses very much, and that when
an individual has attained a po'
sition which enables him to be
useful TO the public it is a mistake
TO be over-nice about rejecting his
good offices because in early life
when his necessities were more
pressing, his methods Of afhlia-
tions were not always such as q
conscientious person could ap-
prove.
Then, thanks TO the misdirected
zeal Of a multitude of worthy
persons who assume to abhoI
Setan and all his works, he gets
credit for a host of things with
which he had very little TO do.
Lots Of clergymen and others are
sure that he invented all kinds Of
dances and laid the corner-stonef
of all the theatres. He gets i'm
