Dear Brethreu:-Only three
weeks remain Till our board meets

ry feels that this meeting will mark
all era in our missionary work.
The question is, will we rise, or
will we fall? Will we prove ours
selves missionary in spirit and there.
fore worthy the great name, or will
we shO " ourselves TO be only go
called missionaries and therefore
unworthy the great name, Mission.
airy Baptists?
As the fruit proves the tree, 30
the deeds prove the man, or any
set of mep. Now let us prove our
selves missionary no, only in name
but 10 deed and in truth. This we
may do by rallying to the help Of
our board as she is struggling to
free herself from the debt that has
so long hung like lead upon her
shoulders.
Never was there q time when
your board more needed your sym-
pathy and your hep than she does
now. She needs your prayers that
she nay rightly direct the work
entrusted to her aud she needs
your help the help of your pocket
books that she may pay off the
debt that is cow weighing her down.
In the humble opinion of your
secretary the coming meeting of
the board will mark an era IN our
life, the life of the Association.
The question is will we score vic-
tory for the csHse of Christ and
humanity, or will we let the pow
ers of darkness triumph?
Brethren, let me beg you that
you stand by your board that you
created, and that there be no d.
visions. among rs. We are irving
to do the work that you laid upon
our shoulders. Help the cause now
while it needs your help. THAT
thou aoest do quickly"

lay against the measure that has been

by the senate he would offer sorae
amendments to the measure that proba-
bly, would precipitate debate.

war should not be prolonged il might
not be necessary to provide 60 much
revenue as the pending bill would raise,
and he indicated q desire to await 6e-
velopments that. in all likelihood, Were

priation bill was passed. 1t carried near
