The Children's Home Society of
Missouri is fast becoming known
as the greatest philanthrophic
movement of the age. Its work is
gathering up the homeless de-
pendent children of this State, and
caring for them until suitable
homes in private families are
found for them, where they are
placed and watched over by the
Society until grown. The institu.
ton is free from political bias or
creed lines, and depends for it's
support upon contributions. A
number of children have been
taken from this county, and are
being cared for by this Society.
1t certainly is a noble cause, and
we commend it to our readers,
worthy of their liberal support.
R. T. Mines is the superintendent

The District Mission Board of
the Missionary Baptist Church
met last Saturday with the Farm
ington Baptist Church and had a
very interesting meeting. Rev. G.
T. Fortune was elected to con
tinue in the mission for the next
quarter. The board discussed
some very important questions of
interest to all our orthodox chur-
ches. Among others was the pro-
priety of letting strangers, who
come along claiming to be preach
ers who have no license or ordina-
ton papers, enter our churches
and lecture. The board was unan-
imous in the condemnation of such
action. Among those present and
taking part we're Rev. WIN. Ru-
dolph of Pennington, Mesdames
Hand and Smith of Flat River,
Geo. Reeves of Iron county, Louis
Yeates of Loughboro, Judge Tul-
