A union meeting of the Baptist churches
was held, last night, at the First Baptist

lowering, who is at Nellore, Telugu Mis-
sion. India. His station is right in the
midst of the famine district He told of
the ravages of disease and the awful suf-
fering of natives. The famine district, he
said, was equal in area to the combined
area of the New England States, New
York, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois.
The population of that section, he said,
was 63, 000, 900. He was enthusiastic over the
results of missionary work and said that
the famine would bring many converts,
there being a practical illustration of the
difference between the heather and the
Christians The heather, he said did moth

was being done was by Christian people.

in Africa for twenty-one years as a mis-
Gorge valley. He is stationed at Mbanza
Manteke. He went there alone and with
no knowledge of the people or their Ian
guage. He learned the language and then
years before making a convert. He said
that the people there were much interested

them in way which they could under
stand. Some of the tribes, he said, were
greatly opposed to the missionaries and
prosecuted the converts and drove them
from their homes. He told of the work done
in his district and of how one man who
had formerly prosecuted the Christians had
been converted and was the means Of con-
verting about five hundred others. He will

The Supreme Court Keeps Away from
the Appellate Court.

The Supreme Court demonstrated by a
decision yesterday that IL will not NEEDLE
in the affairs of the Appellate Court. The
Supreme Court refused to grant a writ of
certiorari commanding the Appellate
Court to transfer to 1t the case of John
M. CASTOR VS.. Maud Bailey. the judgment
in which was recently affirmed in the lat
ter court. The appellee recovered a judg-
ment for $1,000 against DR.. CASTOR for in
juries sustained by falling into coal hole
in front of his property. A former judy
ment for $500 had been reversed on APP
peal, and an appeal was also taken from
this Judgment. DIR. Gaston's attorney
claimed the Appellate Court, in affirming
the decision, failed to be governed by the
law as declared by the Supreme Court.
After petition for a rehearing had been
overruled, certiorari was applied for.
The Supreme Court decided it had no au-
thority to revise a decision of the Appel
late Court In a case in which that court
has jurisdiction.
