Mr.. Avery says there are about 400 camps
in the State which comprise about 5000
country is over 100000. The organization is
of the North and is not found south of the
Mason and Dixon line. To show that the
growth of the organization has been rapid
there were but 10000 members. 1--WE carry
more insurance than any other associa-

Avery. I'VE have 1850, 100000 of insurance

1.-The way this organization was named
is rather interesting and there is a story
connected with it, Avery continued 1.-The

He figured out the general scheme of MAIN
tanning such an organization and then
sought a name for the order. This was in
1881. He finally got the idea by going to
church one day. He listened to a sermon
that touched on the progress the country
was making. In his remarks the minister
told how the woodmen had cleared away
the forests and destroyed the abiding place
of wild beasts so that the roses and the
waving grain and stately cities occupied
the ground. Root heard these remarks
and the word 'woodmen" particularly at
tracted his attention. 'Woodmen, wood

ALMOST OUT OF DEBT
THE GERMAN FIRST BAPTIST
CHURCH IS DEDICATED.
Services I'm the Morning, Afternoon
and Evening-HOw the New
Church Was Started.

The new German First Baptist Church,
corner Singleton and Iowa streets, was ded-
icated yesterday morning at 1890 o'clock
with appropriate services. BY the time the
ceremony began the church was filled and
many were unable to gain admission. In
side the church presented a pretty picture.
Much work had been done by the women Of
the congregation in decorating the edifce.
Long streamers were entwined about the
pillars and draped the walls. In the front
of the pulpit and shelving on either side to
the rear were huge banks of flowers. A row
of potted ferns was stretched across the
front of the rostrum. Back of the pulpit
and almost hidden behind the banks of
flowers an augmented choir was stationed.
The pastor, the Rev. r. NJ Won Miller.
acted as master of ceremonies. At 1890
o'clock he began the service by simple
invocation. This was followed by a hymn
from the choir. DR.. Meier, of Chicago, cor
responding secretary of the Illinois German
Baptist Convention. delivered an address in
German.
The ceremonies were continued in the
afternoon at 2:0 o'clock, when the Rev.
Thomas J; Villers, pastor of the First
Baptist Church, delivered sermon in
English. DR.. Villers's address of
congratulatory nature to DR.. Won Miller
and the workers in the First German Bap-
fist Church, who have so successfully
erected the new church A collection was
taken to assist in defraying the expenses
Of building. Last night another short
service was held, concluding the dedicatory
service. AT the evening service the Rev.
f. A. Lich, of Cincinnati, spoke in German.
The First German Baptist Church was
formerly mission connected with the
First English Baptist Church. and was
located at Davidson and North streets.
DR.. Won Miller has been pastor since last
TO sell the property and then he solicited
subscriptions for a building fund. The
church, with the parsonage, which is just
behind the church, cost $500, of which
$4.6 600 has been raised. The members of
the First Baptist Church gave literally,
and large part of the equipment of the
church consists in presents made by the
English-speaking friends of the congrega-
ton.

REVEALS ARE RATIONAL.
"Revivals, therefore, are as rational as
any burst of sunrise. or any smell of the
rose. or any renaissance of literature. In
wise and hysterical features may some
times accompany and sully them, but these
are only unfortunate masks. The reality of
a person or a community feeling the kind
ling pulse of Gods truth and rising out
of marble placidity and languor into the
white heat of heroic conservation is both
a sane and beautiful sight 1t is true TO
science. 1t chimes with every chapter OF
historical development. To have fervor in
prayer glow over the revealings of God s
spirit may tempt a cold dead age to mock
at the extravaganza, but the mockery is
the unnatural fact In the case To be dead
is against nature. Away with fear. Away
with cowardly compromises II our faith
does not fan the flame and change our
lives it is false to the core. May we not
urge one another to better life, to nobler
vision: to profounder rest on the bosom of
unlimited love, to a more hallowed trust in
Gods power TO purge us If we but let Him
have free scope within us?
1.-The apostle goes farther. He makes
new soul within the source of our higher
knowledge. BE We transformed that We
may know the perfect will of God The
loftier intellectualism is the result of the
higher development OF character. "A man
may be very clever and artesian in earthly
plans, but he cannot see down into the
depths of the worlds life unless he has
something more than the mere surface
sparkle of worldly wit. He moves about
blind to the holier departments of Gods
multiform purposes. The secret of the
Lord is with them that fear Him While
this may reverse the usual order that the
brain must be fed and then the heart will
be ennobled, yet the everyday world re-
veals so many of marble academic expert
ness. so many men primed in some catch
ing books or so many men able to make
their schemes move to success, and yet
utterly untouched by the sweet, serious
developments of life that we ought not
to be surprised that the heart is more
right and radiant than the head. This is
the reason there are so many intellectual
men who are not intelligent Let bat
wing its way toward the noon effulgence
and 1t does not see the sun, no matter how
high its flight. Things are hidden save to
the appropriate and awakened faculty.
nicalism the spring torrent leaps over
the dry summer banks. Hence the need
of the interior growth of spiritual life, not
so much as the opportunity of a nobler
emotion or conservation, but as the opener
of the eyes of the mind itself, as summer
opens the morning glories and hillside
poppies Then will emerge a simpler and
sincerer and far more profound theology,
Towering out of the rich, luxuriant soils
of character with a tropical profusion Of
beauty. Then revival, a constant and joy
as an erratic, abnormal effusion episode,
but as the normal spontaneous law of our
life. Thy law / have hid in my heart that
L may keep thy statutes.

EIGHTEEN STORES ARE VACANT.
Plenty Of Idle Store Room For New
Corners Here.

If anyone desires to come to Ameri-
Gus to engage in business they need not
hesitate for fear of being unable to
get vacant store, for, while dwelling
houses are scarce there are not less
than eighteen large and desirable brick
business houses here without tenants,
rome of which have been vacant sever
al years. These stores represent an in
yestment Of perhaps 500, 600, at an
average estimate of SO, 900 each though
several Of them cost a great deal more.
OF these sixteen empty stores two are
in the Allen House block, three in the
Windsor Hotel block, two, worth
81, coo each, on Jackson street, four
on Lamar, three on Cotton Avenue,
one in the Thomas block and three on
Lee within a hundred yards OF the
courthouse. Several others, includ-
ing two handsome bank buildings ont
of business, are occupied as offices at
nominal rent simply to have them kept
open at all, Never before in the his-
tory of the town, perhaps, hava there
been so many vacant stores here. Rents
are cheap, and it is hoped that all of
these deserted stores will soon be oc-
cupied again.
