Arrangements for the congress OF
temperance representatives from the
various denominations of the state
are practically completed. The state
organizations of the leading denomi-
nations have all named delegates and
united effort will be made along
temperance lines.
This movement originated with j.
Benson Hill, M D., of Ovid, who per-
sonally brought the matter before
the various conferences, synods and
other bodies of the different denomi-
nations. He has been ably seconded
by the Rey. j. Watson Young, pastor
of the North PRESBYTERIAN church of
Kalamazoo, who is chairman of the
temperance committee of the synod
of Michigan.

ages will be taken up along new lines,

For santa Claus Season-lO, 1000
Churches to be supplied, Profits
to 90 To Church.

Rev. O. A. Carman, pastor of the
M. f.. Church Of this city besides being
an excellent preacher is an inventor
as we'll.
Several years ago. seeing the great
demand there was throughout the
United States for Christmas tree
decorations. conceived the idea of a
paper box put together in such shape
that it would form a star which could
be used for decorative purposes and
at the same time combine a recepticle
for containing gifts of confections or
other materials.
Mr.. Carman has placed an order
for 10000 of these folding boxes in
several different colors, with the
Grand Rapids Paper.Box Co. for i'm
mediate manufacture. 10000 circular
letters and as many envelopes and ord
er blanks haye been printed by The
BANNER presses which Mr.. Carman
will hand out to ten thousand chur-
ches in the United States. He has
arranged with the trustees of the NJ
E. church to give the entire profits of
their sale into the hands of the build
ing committee in aid of the new chur
ch. This is a very commendable and
generous act on his part and it is hop
ed the enterprise will meet with fav-
or and success. The preparation and
mailing of ten thousand circulars
means lot of work and the filling of
orders will be no small job. In his
circular Mr.. Carman says;

VERY MISLEADING
Is Michigan Factory InpectOrs
Report.
Article Going Rounds of state Press
Does this CITY and Its SILK In
dustry Damage.

An article published fin the State
newspapers this week taken from the
state factory inspectors report does
great injustice to the business inter-
ests of this city and the Belding Bros.
& Co and Richardson Silk Co. in par
ticular. 1t states that the highest
average of i'll health among our wom-
en- workers in the State is at Belding
where more than two thirds of the
women canvassed are employed in the
silk mills 80 per cent are reported as
saying that the work Injuries their
health The lady inspector who made
the canvass is sadly off and far from
the correct average. There is not a
more healthy, happy, contented good
natured and good-looking lot of girls
to be found anywhere than is employ
ed in our silk mills, many of them
have worked here for the past or 10
years and are the perfect picture of
health. The sanitary conditions of
the factories are the best that can
possibly be made and this is also true
of their eastern mills
Geo. w. Ellis of Philadelphia is in
the city this week, he is connected
with Belding Bros. & Co. in the silk
manufacturing business and has been
for many years being familiar with
the process of manufacturing in all
its details. Regarding the question
of operatives being injured in health
from work in the silk mills he says it
is certainly not more hazardous than
in any other line of employment.
Among the girls employed in their
eastern mills will be found larger
per cent of good health and activity
than in any other factories working
in other lines of business He says
they have large number of female
employees who have worked in their
factories for the past % or 80 years,
are enjoying the very best of health
and are comfortable and happy.

THE PREACHER OBJECTED.
Believed in Immersion but Wouldn't
Take I'm Washing.

A preacher, living near Lake Odes-
sa who was opposed to baptism by inn
mersion, was asked to baptize man
who would be baptized in no other
way The member wished to join a
church that admitted members only
after immersion. The preacher who
wanted the new member therefore
asked his fellow pastor, who believed
in that method of baptism, if he
would not baptize the man and then
let him join his church. The preach
er of immersion said. "No, thanks, |
am not taking in washing" We do
not know what became of the man.
He may not be in a church to this
day. But that has nothing to do with
the story.
