BIG MASS MEETING.
Topeka Ministers Discuss Next Sum
days Rally.

The more than usual activity at 7. NJ.
c. A. headquarters Sunday gave evil
dence that something calling for spe-
cial effort was on the board. The lecture
hall was packed Secretary Lerrigo
made a few explanatory remarks touch
ing the purpose OF the meeting and al
ter giving Mr.. H. R. Hilton a chance
to announce the good citizens mass
meeting of next Tuesday evening, ask
ed his audience to be particular to re-
members that there were to be two mass
meetings and the date for that held by

church presented The value of the
mass meeting to the churches" He
showed the advantage of the united eff
fort which this meeting involves and the
opportunity it gives to show the magni-
tude of the church as a body, however
small isolated congregations may at
times appear.
DR.. Countermine followed with 1.-THE
Value of the Meeting to the Individual
The doctor was more impressive than
usual. He spoke of thef awakening
which Engineer McClure's story would
undoubtedly bring to many a Self-SatlS-
fed or dormant Christian. He empha-
sized the need of prayer for the sue
cessful issue of the meeting and said
that he had requested the women OF
the congregation to pray for it although
they were denied any other participa-
ton in or admittance to the meeting.
Several men who had heard Engineer
hCC1uIC give HIS WOuQCI1QI story SppkC
of the meetings which he had addressed,
the wonderful spell which he had SEEM
ed to cast over audiences.
Rev. f. w. Emerson closed the meet
ing with a strong address on Personal
Work" He spoke of a mans soul as
''the greatest thing in the world of the
value of Gods masterpiece and the
great joy of winning erring men. 1t was
a fitting close to a meeting of such
men, for such a purpose. Several thou
sand tickets were called for at the close
of the meeting by men who wanted
them for distribution during the week
among the men who will wish to hear
Engineer Mcclure next Sunday. The
meeting in the auditorium is to be at
o'clock instead of 4 next Sunday. The
officers of the Y. NJ. c. A. are greatly
pleased with the success of their pre-
liminary meeting. and together with
the ministers, who are all working as
one in this matter, are happy in the
prospect of not only an enormous sue
cess in attendance but also in results.

DONATIONS

Miss Mary Green arose and in an in
formal manner. without notes told Of
her work at Kona. Hawaii.
She told Of the work the society had
accomplished and of her own personal
interest in the matter and electr' fed
her hearers with the amount OF liquor
consumed on Hawaii. She said: We
have done a good deal this year and we
may well feel that the time has not
been spent in vain" Then she branch
ed out and mentioned the transport
work: the flower work: the jail and
prison work: and complimented Miss
Ella Paris whose work was heroic in
fighting and struggling against the
liquor question in Kona.
Then she spoke OF Miss YarrDw.
whose two meetings monthly for child
rem and young people were accom-
plishing so much.
! Miss YaJrow was asked to spea1 a
/ few words and replied that she wished
she could accomplish more, but, n Ter
belief. her work did not cover those
whom the society particularly desired
/ To reach. Hers was more a Bible class.
with a course Of twenty-four lessons.
/ hut she would gladly meet any plan
they might adopt in order to cover the
work and accomplish results.
Mrs. Williams and Miss Yarrow were
I Z 1-laborers in this field and the society
expressed great satisfaction with their
manner Of handling the work.
The president then arose and in n
few well chosen words as an introduc-
ton TO her subject launched at once
upon her talk on the Worlds convcn-
ton at Glasgow. She gave a most
animated and delightful description Of
Lady Henry Somerset. Of her quetnly
bearing and her aristocratici manners.
Then she described Lady Somerset's
touching tribute To Frances willard
for whom she had borne so great and
true an affection. From that she de-
scribed all the notables present in her
own inimitable and clever way. and
finished with n description Of the Lord
Provost's reception which she had at
tended. He and his party stood In he

a nomination might be made in open
board, and for fear of offending some
one. or causing a breach, directors
would in a manner be forced to vote
for some one they might disapprove.
BY secret ballot without nomination
the directors would have a better
chance to express their real prefer
ences.
The whole scheme that is proposed
for election is designed to remove the
matter from the play of chance or from
the sway of a small number of MEM
bers or directors. and to give it the
dignity of a deliberate, carefully con-
sidered, and unbiased choice of the
best men for the places. The ballot OF
the whole chamber, after nominations,
has been found in practice to be the
best way. Ell Paso should adopt 1t at
once, so that the election of the next
board of directors and next president
shall be conducted fairly and with
view to giving every member of the
chamber a chance to express his honest
choice, without fear of offending any
individual.
The chamber of commerce must not
be allowed to go to seed. The work
before it is multiplying every day. The
people want to see it do things.
and then they will be willing to pay
the bills. For the past year the eff
cheney of the chamber has been greatly
hampered by the lack of interest and
Sinking of plain duty on the part of
some of the directors, and the obstruc-
tive or don't-care or mossback tactics
of some officials. 1t is to be hoped
that when a chance comes next month
to select officers the members of the
chamber, realizing the immense i'm
portance of having progressive and
public spirited men at the head of the
institution. will select for the honor
of Office men who will conscientious
ly administer the trust reposed in
them. and lead in the progressive
of the chamber and the
city. rather than pose in the attitude
of chronic obstructionists.
