CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS.
The Annual District Convention al
Craig an Interesting One.

In the Second District Missouri Chris.
sian Endeavor there are Is counties,
Andrew, Buchanan, Clinton, DeKalb,
Grundy, Holt, Mercer, Worth. Atch,son,
Caldwell, Daviess. Gentry, Harrison,
Livingston and Nodaway. All the
counties were represented in the conven.
ton held in Craig on the last two days
of May and the first day of June, exoep
ting Clinton. Daviess and Harrison.
The weather was seemingly favorable
at first, but turned to stormy, and on
Saturday rain poured down most all
day. Yet the sessions were we'll attended
and the interest began good and increased
until the close.
The first session on Friday evening
was held at the PRESBYTERIAN church.
The subject was "Ye are epistile written
in our hearts, known and read of all
men," Rev. A. r. Hunt, Of Savannah,
presided and Rev. Harry Moberly deliv-
cred fine address, followed by devotional
exercises when REV. Gresham, Of
Fairfax, delivered the address of well
come. This was splendid address and
was responded to by Rev. Henry Billiard,
of Mound City, in a most effective man.
ner. Mr.. Hunt was then called upon
and delivered an excellent address on
"What Does Christian Endeavor Stand
For?" He is a most impressive speaker
and his remarks were listened to with
interest. DR.. Bragg, of Maryville, fol-
lowed with an address ON why the
Young Peoples Movement" this was
one Of the most suggestive addresses Of
the convention.
On Saturday morning the"Quiet Hour"
service was conducted by Miss Pearl
Moulton, of King City, subject, II Can
do All Things Through Christ which
Strengtheneth Me- A short business
session was then held, President Lipp
man presiding, subject mot Slothfnl in
Business, Fervent in Spirit, serving the
Lord.
The hour having arrived for devotional
exercises, Mr.. Taylor, of Rock Port, con-
Quoted the meeting. This was followed
by the reports of county presidents and
officers. All the delegates had not yet
arrived, and so the reports were not as
full as might have been. but it plainly
appeared that the work in most counties
was in good condition and that while the
numbers in some bad fallen off and in
some had been disorganized, vet all to-
gether there was deeper interest and
more real service than when tho socie

deed; far from it. They either have al
ready been paid or expect in some way
in the future to be paid for every paper,
that comes into a Republicans hands.
The lobby and the ring are very ely, yes.
very sly. indeed; but if Republicans all
over the state will keep their eyes wide
open, and watch the opposition closely
we will pretty nearly catch the schemers
this fall. Watch boys, as we'll as pray:
and, as Gen. Washington once told the
Continental army: ''See that your flint
is sharp, and keep your powder dry;'
and when you do get to the polls where
you can hit them diff, make every vote
count.

and the most warm expressions were
made in regard to his former connection
with this work. Miss Willis. of Craig,
rendered q beautiful solo, and the COM
mittee made report on district officers.
A. R. Hunt president, S. W. Sweeny, of
st. Joseph, vice-president; Miss Mabel
Mohler. secretary Miss Policy, treasurer.
The banner was awarded to Worth
county for best advancement and work.
Thus closed the 18th annual convention
of this district. Craig did herself proud
in entertaining the delegates and all
went away with good words for Craig
and her people and churches.
The following resolutions were adop-
ted by the conventions:
Whereas in the Providence of God, we
have been permitted to assemble in this
18th annual convention of the Seco.d
District of Missouri Christian Endeavor
Union. Be it
Resolved, that We extend our thanks
to theipeople of Craig for their hospitality
and the considerable manner in which We
have been entertained, and to the press
and the railroad for the courtesies they
have shown US.
Resolved, That we express our hearty
appreciation of the cheerful manner in
which those assigned to places on the
program have responded, in this way
rendering our program attractive and
helpful.
Resolved, That the presence of the
stale officers has been a great inspiration
to the convention and We feel that their
meeting with US will be the means of
bringing about more consecrated effort for
Christian Endeavor work in the year to
come. We are in hearty sympathy with
tn. state work and realizing the success
of the state work depeods upon the CO.
operation of the districts, we pledge our
selves to do all we can to forward the
interest in our district.
Resolved, That the success of the
district work depends wholly upon indi
vldual conservation; believing that con-
secratiun comes through communion
with God. by reading His Word and
prayer, We recommend to the Endeav-
orers the observance of the "Quiet
Hour as a means of getting into closer
touch with God. We further realize
that all We have is stewardship from
God, that God gives us our being our all,
that we owe to our Lord our services and
our substance. Therefore be- it
Resolved. That We make an effort to
establish the Tenth Legion" and Mace
DOMAIN Phalanx in all of our societies.
Resolved, That we return to all of
our societies with greater determine
ton to do everything in our powe to for
ward the interests of Christian Erdeavor
and the cause of Christ.
Resolv d, That We, the Christian
Endeavorers of the Second District OF
the Missouri Christian Endeavor Union,
in convention assembled, are heartily in
favor of retaining the quarterly tempe
rance lesson in our Sunday school topics
and should deeply regret any change
abolishing these temperance lessons.

ties seemed to be more prosperous. 1t
seems true of Christian Endeavor socie-
ties as we'll as churches, that when the
most demonstration is made and the lar
Rest crowds attend the meetings that the
real work done is less substantial than
when affairs move more quietly. Miss
Mabel Mohler, of St. Joseph, the dis
trict secretary, gave good report on
the work done in her department., and
called special attention to the fact that
the local and county secretaries not
seeming to appreciate the importance of
promptness in reporting. caused much
delay and extra labor to the district Sec
rotary and thus retarded the work. 1t
was urged upon all the secretaries to be
punctual in answering correspondence
and thus by little attention on their
part to greatly help the general work Of
the district.
Miss Mamie Policy, of Allendale, then
gave the report of the treasury. This
showed the distric: slightly in debt
sc, and steps were taken to make up
the deficit. Miss Leoni Miller, Of Mary
vile, made a report on the mercy and
relief work of the district. This is the
most practical part Of all the depart
ments in the Christian Endeavor, and
calls for more close and continual at
tention to every day duty in more ma
terial way, than any of the others. Most
societies have this department in more
or less effective form, but the district
and the county organizations take hold
of this department to zee it more thor
oughly done. Miss Miller's report was
intensely interesting and called forth
many favorable comments.
This session was closed with several
short addresses on moments With the
Bible" led by Rev. West, of Craig. he
was followed by Mr.. Renolds. of Chilli
cothe, and Rev. Brown, of Tarkio. All
addresses were full of interest and in
structive.' Methods Of Bibe Study" was
the general theme, and while everybody
must, to a great degree, have his or her
own method, many good thoughts were
suggested, the most important being
Read the Bible through first, then
study by some good method afterward."
It was agreed that no method would
take the place of actually reading the
Bible.
Saturday afternoon, the juniors had
their time, Miss Deglemsn, OF Chilli
cothe presiding. There was good atten-
dance of juniors and the work was re-
ported in good order. Ella Puttroff, OF
Craig read q paper on, Junior Missions
and the "Workers Conference" was very
interesting, the superintendent then
gave very appropriate talk to the
juniors present. There was some we'll
selected music and the meeting was
helpful and refreshing in every way.
Saturday evening Praise Service was
led by Miss Ola Hunter, of Craig, which
was a very helpful session followed by an
address, "Why Should Keep the Quiet
Hour?" by S. S. Stahl, Of Kidder, Mo.
1.-The Quiet Hour" so called, is q move
ment in the Christian Endeavor work to
encourage prayerfulness and those who
belong to this department pledge them
selves to set apart "A Quiet Hour''every
day for religious meditation and prayer.
The Tenth Legion" is another in the
Christian Endeavor work whose mem
bers pledge themselves to give one tenth

OF their income to the work of the Gospel !
in its various departments. Miss Mae
McPeterson, Of Graham, read a very
interesting paper on the subject, "Why
Should l Tythe," and showed that if all
Christian people followed this rule that
Christianity would spread over the
whole earth in short time. The lack
of funds is the sore lack 10 all depart
ments of church work and missionary
enterprises are being defeated daily for
lack of money to send workers forth into
the fields.
Miss Madeline Chase, of st. Joseph,
discussed Dead Timber" 1t was an
interesting subject and we'll handled.
"Denominational Campfires," by Mr..
Thompson was an attractive discussion,
and "How to Reach Young Men," as
usual was propounded, this time by
Mr.. Sipes. He did we'll, but no earthly
answer can be given to the question un-
till boys are given different ideas and
ambitions when young, by their parents.
So long as boy is taught that being
tough" or "hard bat'' is the biggest
title to manhood, we will have the boys
trying to fulfil their ambition and being
toughs and hard bats while the day
school, the Sunday school, the church
and Christian Endeavor suffer for want
Of them. 1t seems queer that so many
persons are persistant in teaching boys
that it is manly to be unmanly, when
the result is to empty the schools,
churches and young peoples societies
and to fill the jails, work houses, and
penitentiaries, but this evil Of the day
has to be contended with as we'll as the
rest.
The evening session closed with
grand address on the subject Of Trust"
by the State President r. H. Waggoner,
of Kansas City. Miss Hershey, Of Kan
sas City, led the Sunday morning service.
She is one Of the leading workers of the
state and made splendid leader.
After Sunday school at the various
churches, Mr.. McClelland, Of st. Louis.
made an excellent address in the Chris
ton church in the way Of convention
sermon. Miss Halle Hubbell, of Tren-
ton, led the afternoon Praise-servlce,
after which Mss Bertha Rite, Of Mary
vile. spoke on the subject of Church
Loyalty" She was followed by G. w.
Murphy. who spoke on the subject of
"Interdenominational Fellowship" This
is the soul Of the Christian Endeavor
movement, and where it has done its
best work, and the convention took a
deep interest in the subject. christian

st. Joseph, and go and Grow, by Jas.

interest. The session was closed by an
address on 1.-THE Bible and Prayer" by
Mr.. j. j. MeClelland.
The closing session was grand meet
ing. Mrs. Pearl Gaskill, led the Chris
tan Endeavor prayer meeting, several
pieces of good music were rendered by
the Craig choir. The general discussion
on "Needs of Higher Standard" was
replete with many good things. Many
took part in the meeting and all were in
the most happy mood. Rev. Charles
Sheldon, of Topeka. sent letter which
was read bv President Lippman. w. E.
Bragg, former president of the Second
District, also sent very impressive
letter. Prayer was offered for Mr.Bragg

Dear Sirs: There was ii time when it
paid a painter to paint lead and oil, and
fight shy of anything else hat was when
the market was full of poor paints, and
zinc was unkn
Now zinc has come in lead and oil must
give way-it is too short-lived.
There are two ways to use zine; you can
mix it with lead in a tub, or buy Devoe
lead and zinc, which is ground together by
machinery.
If YOU mix your own lead and zine, you
gain something; if you buy Devoe You
gain more, because machinery does better
work than hand mixing. Experience is
worth something. We've had l46 years

HOPES ARE BEGINNING TO SINK
LITTLE BLOCKS IN THE WAY
CONSTITUTIONS MUST
BE AMENDED TO FIT THE
NEED.

Washington. Oct. 25.-As winter APP
proaches the hopes of the Panama
canals friends for early ratification of
a treaty with Colombia are beginning
to sink. Attorney General Knox will
report on results of his visit to Paris
within a few days. and it is said his
report will be in every way favorable
to the Panama Canal company's
claims.
But much more than an acceptance
of title is necessary before even pre-
liminary work can be done on the
canal itself. First of all tie treaty
with Colombia must be negotiated and
ratified. This hangs fire for two
reasons. One is the uncertainty and
confusion arising from the revolution
on the isthmus and the other is the
stiff-necked position of the Bogota gov
eminent in refusing to yield complete
jurisdiction over the canal zone.
1t is pointed out by Minister Concha
that the Colombian constitution must
be amended before any authority eX-
lists for the alienation of any Colon
bian territory, even to the extent Of
giving perpetual lease. AT present
the Colombian congress is largely on
horseback, fighting. No one knows
when it will be able to turn its atten-
ton to constitutional questions.
