From an early day in the history of
the association special attention has
been given to Christian literature and
education. The Central Baptist, an
able and influential journal published
in st. Louis, is the organ of the asso-
citation. The William Jewell College
at Liberty was founded by it and
Stephens College at Columbia ID
owned by 1t. Besides these institu-
tions, moral support ia given to other
religious papers and denominations
schools and colleges.
With this brief historic outline we
introduce the Missouri Baptist Gen.
eral Association to our readers and In
behalf of the general public welcome
the honorable body to a test of the
unstinted hospitality of a large-heart-
ed and open-handed people.

SCREW WORMS KILLING sREEP
Flock From Kansas Creates Alarm In

HANNIBAL, Mo, Oct. 16.-About two

residing in the western part of Marion
county, bought 500 sheep in Kansas
and had them shipped to his farm.
Now they are afflicted with the screw
worm and are dying at q rate Of q
core or more every day. Iii Ia thought
he will lose the entire herd, and that
the disease will spread all over the

by a little fly that enters the sleeps
nostrils, where it deposits an egg, and
in a few days the sheep is literally
eaten up by worms.

Benjamin Earnest Pulls was the
youngest of four sons,a bright, gentle,

church as well. At the early age of
eleven years he united with the Bap-

devoted to all the church privileges
with implicit confidence in his Savior.
He was buried October 10 at New

able to give for church building, mis-
sions and education. The primitive
conditions may still be found in some
quarters of the state, where three Oh
four hundred churches are still with
out houses of worship.
In addition to the valuable church
houses owned by the denomination,
a good deal of money has been put in
other objects. Within the last fifty
years more than one million dollars
has been given to educational institu-
lions, and that sum is permanently
invested in buildings and endowments.
There has been an expenditure of at
least $780, 900 for hospital and or
phans' home work. The denomina-
ton pays $1,000 oO a year to the sup
port of pastors and general church
work, in addition to 100000 for mis-
sions and ministerial education. Com
bining these figures we have In the
way of permanent investments in
church houses, parsonages, colleges
and other institutions more than ST.
6OO, 900, and an annual expenditure for
the support of our work of nearly
$500 1000.
There are ten institutions of learn
ing more or less directly under Bap-
tlst control within the state. Their
enrolment averages something like
| 1900, more than half of whom are
young ladies. They are well distribu-
ted throughout the state, and take
high rank with institutions of their
class.
While human nature remains as II
is, there can not be much improve
ment on the conservation and earn
estness Of the Baptist minister oil
earlier days, but there has been a
marked improvement in the culture
offered and enjoyed during these later
years. More men give themselves
wholly to the ministry than formerly
The reproach formerly laid at the
door of Baptists, that they were un.
friendly to education, Is more than
answered in this state by the fact that
the ministry stands equal to that OF
other denominations, and their schools
are educating nor people than are
the schools of any other one religious
body.
This Mexico meeting will enable the
citizens who attended the same gath
ering here nineteen years ago to make
comparisons which will emphasize the
advancement made in these interven-
ing years. Some of the faces will be
familiar, but many of them are new
Among them will be celebrated min

Cardinal Manning used to tell: An

O'Clock train now goes at o'clock; Sc
there isn't no first train at all, at all. u

the waste paper basket with torn up let
ters exclaimed ruefully: "Oh, why did
you 60 for to tear them up? They might
have come in so useful for me, who am

write letter."
That valet must have been nearly re-
lated to the Irishman who, having only
one match to light his candle in the
morning, struck it overnight to make
sure it was good one.-Youth's Com
