MISSIONARY CONFERENCE.
Mrs. Pittman Writes OF Pleasant
Meeting at Asheville, N. c.

The following account of the Young
Peoples Missionary Conference, which
met in Ashegille, n c., was writer
by Mrs. H. w. Pittman, a former pop
ular Dawson lady:
son beautiful plateau at an eleva-
| tion of $500 feet above the sea level,
encircled by mountains and overlook
ing the city of Asheville, one mile
away, and the beautiful rivers, the
/ French Broad and the Suannama
stands the Kenilworth Inn.
''Ln this ideal place the third annual
conference in the south for young
peoples leaders was held, under the
auspices of the Young Peoples Mis-
sionaiy Movement.
"About $50 national, state, district
and local leaders from various de-
nominations came together for ten
days, from June % to July ,, 1905, to
sionary work in Sunday schools and
missionary societies.
1.-THE fist hour of the day was de-
voted to quiet, devotional Bible
STUDY under the leader ship of Prof.
O. (. Brown of Vanderbilt University.
The second hour was given to mis-
sionary institute for the discussion of
practical methods OF missionary work
among the young people. The third
session was set apart for home and
foreign mission study classes. The
purpose being TO prepare delegates for
leadership in similar classes in their
local societies. The afternoons were
devoted entirely to rest and recreation
in this ideal environment.
1.-THE evening hours were devoted to
an Out-Of-dOOr prayer service, follow
ed by UNCONVENTIONAL group meetings,
where the work for the coming year
was planned.
San unusually large missionary eX-
h,bit OF literature and cuIiOs, showing

note that a number of young men and
women volunteered their lives for
work in the foreign fields"

OIL KINGS NEW ART.

what John ID. Rockefeller Could DO
if Standard Oil Company Failed.
If the Standard Oil company should
fail and John ID. Rockefeller should
suddenly see his stupendous fortune
dwindle the richest man in the world
would probably take up stenography
as a means of livelihood.
That Mr.. Rockefeller is as expert a
writer of shorthand as any one OF the
army of typewriters and stenoSraphers
he employs will be interesting news to
many. How the head of the Standard
Oil company came TO take up stenog-
raphy is told as follows by Railway
and Locomotive Engineering and
serves to illustrate some of the charac-
teristics which have contributed to his
| success in business.
"a few years ago, less than decade,
when Mr.. Rockefeller had reached the
zenith of success in business and mon
ey making, young student was a Wis
it0r at the Rockefeller home. This
youth had acquired shorthand and was
in the habit Of practicing it for making
passing memoranda.
MI Rockefeller noticed that one
evening and proceeded to inquire how
much study and practice had been nee
essary to acquire the skill displayed.
The information was impaired, and
next day Mr.. Rockefeller sent for
teacher and proceeded to learn stenog-
raphy. He kept earnestly at the study
and practice Of the art and by degrees
became sufficiently expert to take
down a speech if necessary, but ste
biography has been used by him mostly
for brief memoranda convenient as an
aid to the memory.
"To acquire shorthand writing Is
nothing particularly praiseworthy in
young person who takes it up as
business and expects to use the art as
help to future breadwinning, but 1t
is something very extraordinary in an
old gentleman whose business respon-
sibilities are stupendous.
1T is that kind of persistent Industry
that lifts the particularly successful
man above the easy going mediocrity.
1t was the same devotion to work that
enabled Mr.. Rockefeller to distance his
competitors in the struggle for bust
ness supremacy"
