N. AlOYE.
What Did the PriYates Do?

Our dates TEEN with daring deeds,
And books are filled with fame;
Brass bands will play and cannon roar
In honor of the name
Of men who held commissions, and
Were honest, brave and true;
But still the question comes to me,
What did the prirates do?
Who were the men to guard the camp
When foes were lowering round?
Who dug the graves of comrades dear?
Who laid them in the ground?
Who sent the dying message home
To those who never knew?
If officers did all Of this.
What did the privates do?
Who were the men to fill the place
Of comrades slain in strife?
Who were the men to risk their own
To save comrades life?
Who was it that lived on salted pork
And bread too hard to chew?
If officers did this alone
What did the privates do?
Who laid in pits on rainy nights,
All eager for the fray?
Who marched beneath the scorching sur
Through many toilsome day?
Who paid the sutler double price
And scanty rations drew?
If officers got all the praise,
What did the privates do?
All honor to the brave old boys,
Who rallied at the CALL
Without regard to name or rank
We honor one and all.
They're passing over one by one,
And soon they'll all be gone,
To where the book will surely show,
Just what the private done.

responsibility that now rests upon you
in the decision that you make. You
build not only for the present but the
future also. In this connection he cited
the case of a church built hundred
years ago, still standing, recently re-
paired, and yet available in preparing
old and young for the leading OF good
lives here and their salvation in the life
beyond).
Let US come to some decision now
decide to build or not to build. You
cannot build upon an ideality; there
must be basis-a decision. You have
never built your church because you
have never decided to build it.
THE DECISION TO BUILD.
Mr.. H. J. Brabham: I move that We
build new church.
MIR. W. D. Rhoad: I second the mo-
ton.
DR.. B. D. Bronson am in favor OF
the motion. I have heard great deal OF
talk about building new church. That
is about as far as We have got. We have
been big takers and little doers. am
ready to contribute all can. Let US
get to work at once; talk less and do
more.
Pastor: There is nothing helps so
much as united people in the building
of material structures.
The question: "Shall we build new
church," was then submitted to vote,
and decided in the affirmative, unani-
mously.
Member, to pastor: call your atten-
ton to the fact that you remained stand
ing, pro and con-, and the question arises
was the vote unanimous?
Pastor: Yes, I remained standing each
time but my vote don't count.
MoDUs oPERANDI FOR THE RAISING OF
THE MONEY.
Rev. Hook: Now that you have de-
cided to build new church, it is next in
order to arrange for the obtaining of the
money with which to erect the new
building. Contributions will be solicited
and we must make provision to obtain
money in that way.
Member arose to inquire if now was
the proper time to appoint building
committee, and a committee on contri-
buttons.
Also the subject of design for the
new building was referred to.
Pastor Hook stated that, according to
the discipline of the church, a building
committee must be appointed BY the
quarterly conference, which meets soon.
Member: The first thing to do is to
get the funds in hand; then We can have
a building committee appointed. We
can also appoint committee to attend
to the getting up of design for the new
building, and to receive suggestions on
that subject.
Pastor Hook entered into an explana-
tory elucidation as to how to commence
and then carry forward the work sue
cessfully, which was received favorably,
after which conference adjourned.

Agent r. T. Greener writes from
Vlsdivostock that a German engineer
has found new naphths ground on the
eastern part OF Sskhalin island, and
also large lake filed with dry naph-
tina. This, he says. would be excel.
lent material for preparing asphalt.
Work, it appears, was begun some
four years ago; but it will take 8
year or two more to develop it, as
proper machinery and testing instru.
ments are to be employed for the first
time. The prospects for naphtha pro-
ducts are good, and this engineer
thinks they promise to be richer than

This announcement will be made in
the Northwestern Christian Advocate,
published in this city tomorrow, the
figures being based on reports of the
probstioners sdmi tied to the church.
In making 10000 converts the
church has done more than 1t origi-
nally proposed to do, though not so
much as its leaders asked for when
tine twentieth century movement was
fully organized. The first suggestion
was one million souls; the second two
million. There is, however, a chance
the advocate believes, that il full re-
turns could be secured, the higher fig-
ure would be reached.
The number of probationers admit
ted during each of the past four years
is as follows: 1899, 257,69s; 1900,-
s7s, 1893; 1901, 27s, 226; 1902, 995,ei2.
In making the estimate of 1900, 900

made TO the probstioner figures to al
low for probationers who were i'd
vsnced from probation to full mem
bership in charges in the fall confer

made out. Two Of the bishops believe
that this figure should be greater by
at least 400, 900, bringing the total of
converts to about 1000, 900.
