The Happiest Man.

The hsppiest man In the world is
the common every day chap who
makes his own living, pays his bills
and has a little money as he goes
along, but who doesn't strive to get
corner on the local output and lie
neither a slave to ambition nor
society. He loves his God and fellow
men, thinks "there is no place like
home" the haven OF rest; prefers the
company Of his children to that OF
anyone else, never has to cit up at
night to poultice his conscience. be.
lievps in the doctrine of live and let
live, and when he encounters one OF
the needy he doesn's stutter over his
pocketbook. The plain man lie happy
because he Ia satisfied and doesn't
spend the best part OF lie yearning
for something four sizes too largefor
him.-Exchange.

Southern Baptist Convention.

Delegates from the Southern churches
met in Kansas City, Mo-, this year. They
had delightful meeting crowded with
Western Baptists, but fewer than usual
from the Eastern States. The following
is summing up of some of their work
The main function of the convention
is to stimulate and direct missionary
enterprise. 1t created the home and
foreign boards of missions. The head
quarters of the foreign board is at Rich
mond, Va. The home board is located
at Atlanta, Ca, with DIR. B. d. Gray as
the corresponding secretary. DR.. j. B.
Willingham, the corresponding secretary
of the foreign board, is Georgia man.
The reports of the home board show
that for the year 1904 it had in the en-
ploy of the home board 6l6 missionaries +;
baptisms, 1926; additions by letter,
9,27l; total additions, 16,797. For 1905 it
had: Missionaries, 71S; baptisms, 10,551 /;
additions by letter, 10,019; making total
additions, 2O,57O. The increase for 1905
in the home boards work was, there
fore, missionaries, 1902; baptisms, 3,O25
by letter, 749; total, 3,773. The grand
total receipts of the home board as shown
by Treasurer Walker Duncan's report
were $174,229.74.
In the Southern Baptist Convention at
Kansas City, on Tuesday, the committee
on Sabbath observance reported de-
plOring increase in the popular tendency
toward open disregard for Sunday and
Sunday laws. The report was adopted
immediately and with comment, recon-
mepded the appointment of special
committee to report to the convention
one year hence with suggestions for
closer and better Sabbath observance.

AMONG THE sApr,sTs.
Meeting the Forces Of the Church North and
South-Generai Work.

ST. Louis, May REORGANIZATION of q
permanent body to be known as the
General Convention of Baptists of North
America was perfected to-day by the
election of the following officers:
President, e. w. Stephens, of Colum-
bia, Mo-; first vice president, f.. NJ.
Dresser, of Ohio; second vice president.
Joshua Lowering, of Maryland; third
vice president, Thomas b. Rotter, Nova
Scotia; secretary, j. S. Pretidge, of Ken
tucky; treasurer, III, Il. Kirk, of Porter,
Pa. The executive committee includes
w. f. Hatcher, of Virginia.
Just as the Baptist Convention was
about to adjourn to-day DR.. Gushing,
president of the Baptist University, Ran
COON, India, was stricken while occupy
ing seat on the rostrum and fell dying
to the floor. While waiting for the ar
rival of an ambulance prayer was
offered for Dr. Cushing. Before the ar
rival of medical assistance DR.. Gushing
died.
The report of the committee of nine,
appointed at conference in New York
nent organization, was read. The mo-
ton was seconded by Rev. DR.. w. E.
Hatcher, of Virginia. 81 think there is
wisdom and strength in the adoption of
this plan of uniting the Baptists of the
North and South" said he. ''The action
sends message to the outside and tells
friends and critics alike that so far rs
the American Baptists are concerned
there is an infinite difference between
separation and disunion. We are sepa-
rated in our work, but this action will
declare to the world that we are not
divided. There are now no causes to
stand ia the way of our union of heart
and cordial fraternity. In closing
want to say that, although am Demo-
crat, think that the power of one man
to unity this country and help towards
effecting unity of the world has been
the supreme event in American history.
1 feel that we must be united, not only
in the church, for the one great purpose
that may lead to the salvation of the
nations. therefore, with great hearth
ness and all cordiality, second the motion
to adopt this committees resolutions
Immediately on the conclusion of the
resolution the convention burst into
singing "All Hail the Power of Jesus's
Name"
The report of the committee, recon-
mending permanent organization, was
then read and adopted, section by sec
ton. The name of tho organization is
designated as the General Convention of
Baptists of North America. 1t is to
have no authority except that exercised
by the weight of it's opinion. 1t is not
to interfere with the affairs of either of
the existing organizations.
The next meeting is to be held in 1906,
and after that meetings are to be held
triennially.

Some of those who heard of Mr..
Crout's purchase thought he paid too
much for his place, but those who are
