Systematic Beneficence.

MI. j. j. harrington read the report OIL
the committee on systematic benencencs
and Christian stewardship. He said the
history of the denomination here shows
that every imp ortaRt UNCONVENTIONAL ad-
vance Of a general nature since the organ
ization of the association has been initiated
and prosecuted by it; and no forward move
ment to which 1t has called the churches
has failed to enlist their interest and be
carried to success. Instances of this are
the Baptist Home, the extingufshment of its
debt. the purchase of site and the erection
OF building for Maryland Avenue Church
and the paying off of the mortgage indebt-
edness OF every Baptist church in the field.
And while 1t has been done each church
has been benefited by its part in tho
achievements of the united Baptist brother
hood.
at is the purpose" the report states, "to
mark each year in future by some needed
important and distinctive forward move
ment, some annual monument of our recog-
milton that we are Gods stewards" Men
tioning needed aid for Centennial, Colum-
bia, Bethany and Twining churches. tbs
committee recommends that one OF these
objects be selected for accomplishment the
ensuing year and the executive committee
requested to apportion the necessary cost
among the churches.
1t seemed to be the understanding that
the selection of one object meant the rails
ing OF $4,000 for Bethany Church, and
pleas were made by r. d. c. Fountain for
Minnesota Avenue Church. and by J. w.
Many for Twining Church, that the com
mittees be left free to give aid at those
points also: but after an earnest discussion
the association. by vote. decided that the
effort should be limited to one piece Of
work, for fear distribution Of aid would
result In failure to accomplish anything

Suppression Of Liquor Traffic.


The report OF the committee on the sup
preston of the liquor traffic, which was re-
ferred back TO the committee in the morn
ing made the changes as outlined In The
Star of yesterday. and the report was
adopted.
The report OF the committee on the sup
preston of the liquor traffic, as finally
adopted, was as follows:
Your committee finds no scrlpturai
grounds for licensing traffic IN Intoxicating
LIQUORS On the contrary, Gods Word pro
nounces Woe to him that giveth his neigh
Dor drink Theft and murder are held Dy
both the law of God and man as crimes.
and the perpetrator is Justly punishable
with the extreme penalties or the law
IMPRISONMENT and death. The records OF the
police courts show that by far the largest
share of these crimes are directly traeeaDle
TO the LIQUOR traffic and are Its legiti-
mate ofYspring. Instead OF being licensed
and thereby acquiring q legal respectahii,
ity and protection, it should, Ike Inert ana
murder. be outlawed and punished with
seyere penalties.

such license has been secured untirfng vigil

penaities of the law to it's vfolators
Your committee does not believe Il expe-
dent for Individual churches, or the
churches as body, to undertake this fea-

churches banded together In such body
as the Anti-Saloon League may render eft
fective service in the cause OF morality and

to keep 1t within Its present statutory
bounds 1t should aim at nothing less than
the creation of such an anti-liquor-trafflc
sentiment as will eventually wipe from the
statute books laws protecting and giving
business respectability to the liquor traf-
fic and tho substitution therefor of laws
branding 1t as a crime and subjecting Il TO
penalties sufficient to secure its suppress
sion.
Your committee recommends the adoption
of the following resolutions:
Resolved. That laws licensing the liquor
traffic are In violation of the spirit Of God s
Word
Resolved, That Christians should labor
zealously to secure legal recognition OF the
traffic as a violation OF the law and punish
able with SUFFICIENT penalties.
Resolved, That we heartily indorse the
efforts OF the Anti-saloon League in re-
strietins the evils of the traffic.

THE kiwi, however, differs from
the other strut&ious birds in having
four toes. Further, the kiwi cannot
be said to be quite ostrieh-like, for
in size it is not larger than the or
dinary barnyard fowl. 1t has a small
head, with a large and muscular
neck and a long, slender bill, with
the distinguishing feature that the
nostrils are placed close to its tip.
The legs are short, but the muscles
on the thighs are well developed,
and the feet are strong and powerful
and provided with sharp claws.
The kiwi is a bird devoid of any
external trace of wings, and there is
no trace of tail visible, while it is
covered with long, narrow, hairlike
feathers, and on the fore part of the
head and sides of the face are strag-
Cling hairhke feelers. - Chicago

A Blind SPOT In the Exs.

It is remarkable that although
the optic nerve is of all parts of the
eye the most sensitive to light, yet
should an object fall on it as we
look around us-and some object
must always be thrown on tit is
invisible to us, and in our field of
vision there is in reality a gap,
though in ordinary sight the sur
rounding edges of this gap draw up
together and so fill it. But by clos
ing one eye by practice one may
actually force the object which is
reflected on to the optic ne-ve to
disappear completely from the field
of vision. Bernstein tells us that
even the sun itself can be made to
disappear if it falls exactly on the
blind spot where the optic nerve en-
ters the eye. This may account for
the fact that some people can close
one eye and stare the summer sun
without wincing.

The advent Of the leather rug has
suggested a practical use for wornOut

back seams give way, leaving the up
pers almost as good as new. 1t is from
these that the rugs illustrated are
made. For the rug shown cut right

can be cut from each shoe
The rug measures 16 by "a inches. IL

Eyelets like those used In shoes may
be purchased at % cents per box

of a school punch, which costs only a
trife, the holes are punched and eye
lets fastened in the holes at the same
time. If one does not care to purchase
punch and eyelets the holes may be
made with a common punch In either
case the pieces are laced together with
shoestrings.
The leather may be cut, punched and
laced together IN a few hours, and
you have a rug that viii last a life

The scared Hero.

The man who goes down with his
engine in a wreck is considered worthy
of great commentator, when the truth
IS, as all railway men are aware, that
the unfortunate in such cases lost his
nerve at the critical moment and hes
itated to jump. When an accident is
impending the cool and collected en-
glneer shuts off steam, applies the
brakes and opens the valves, all Of
the actions taking a few seconds.
Then he looks out for his own safety.
Another man becomes so frightened in
the presence Of great danger that he
does nothing. not even the possible,
