The Texas Christian Missionary CON
vention
The closing year has been our
most prosperous year Harmony has
prevailed and substantial growth
IN all directions has been made One
hundred thousand additions to our
ranks in the United States indicates
a healthy growth Texas has sup
piled one twentieth OF these Ten
per cent OF the new churches started
in the United States by our mission
aries in the past year were planted
by our Texas missionaries.
The rapid growth of Texas In ma
terial things calls for Increased liber-
ality and effort upon cur part. No
part of our great country is adding
to its population more rapidly than
Texas. They are coming from the
older states in great numbers Our
stalwart Americanism, our splendid
public school fund, with its resultant
educational institutions, with church
es quite the equal to those found in
the older states, are immensely at
tractive, and that the best class Of

r. l.. Courtney gave a brief re-
view of the conditions in Southwest
ern Texas, and made an earnest ap-
peal for assistance in the work in
that section of the state He enum-
| Grated a number of towns where
| mission churches could be establish
ed. So far as he was aware there are
only six permanent organizations in
that part of the state. Eagle Lake
| is favorable place for work. He
believed that Southwest Texas was
| one of the most important fields in
| Texas for the gospel to invade The
people at Goliad, whose land was
Redeemed by the blood of Fannins s
| men, are anxiously waiting to hear
the gospel The great cry of the
people of all that section of Texas
is that the brethren at home are
neglecting them. Mexican inhabi-
tants are pouring into that country
by the hundreds. They are easily
reached and they appear ready to
receive the message.
A. c. Parker submitted a written
report for the Panhandle district
Like the reports which preceded 1t
this one emphasized the great need
of workers. A revolution Is taking
place in the West Old customs are
giving way to the new, and the coun-
try is being settled by intelligent and
cultured people from the North
There are some weak congregations
some are battling bravely for exist
ence and some have failed. Workers
are needed to gather these scattered
disciples together and form them in
to organizations. The church acted
wisely in planting the Panhandle

school will prove great blessing to

AT the conclusion of the devotion
al service yesterday afternoon the re-
ports of the district evangelsts were
continued
w. 0. Stephens presented the
claims of Eastern Texas. He said
that great work could be accom-
plished in that portion of the state
in the cause of missions. There are
hundreds of scattered disciples who
need leaders. Henderson county
was referred to as being an especial
ly inviting field for evangelical work.
The people there want preachers.
They want some one to take the mi
tiative in forming organizations and
to feed them on the gospel. Atten-
ton was called to another county,
where twelve lunches of disciples are
without preachers. Ernest Bradley
reported for Southwestern Texas. He
referred to the work at Houston and
said there were splendid fields for
work in South Houston, the fifth
ward and Houston heights. AT Beau
mont splendid work ir hei- done,
and at Port Arthur there Is splen-
did field for work The people OF
South Texas have many things to
deal with which ara not to be found
In North Texas One OF these is the
foreign element. A German evange-
list is needed there The people of
race need a man who understands
this race need man who understands
their temperament and traits of
character. The Brownsville country
is fast settling with substantial citi-
zenship and good field for work
may be found there. One of the
greatest needs of that portion of the
state is for some one to carry to
those people the simple story of

devotional service was held this
| morning nj 9 o'clock. after which the
regular work of the convention was
| resumed
The foreign missionary work was
discussed by Mr. Stephen i Corey.
He referred TO the popular error
| among some people who think the
foreign work Is outside of the regu
| lar work of the church He gave II
| in Importance in the church He said
the mission work was responsible for
the church's wonderful prosperity
and made possible the Texas Chris
tian Missionary Convention. Were
IL not for the mission work to engage
the time and attention of christian
people they would be quarreling with
monkeys over cocoanuts. He said
the work was misconstrued by some
people who did not think II worth
while. Christ's last word to His dis
ciples was to go out and preach the
word TO the ends of the earth. World
wide missions is the basis for all
christianity.
Chas, A. Finch, pastor of the First
church at Topeka Kan, spoke on the
topic of church extension He as
serted that this work lies at the
foundation of all church work The
individual who does not build, who
does not grow and develop. becomes
a tramp and a pauper The same may
be said of the church. When it
ceases to grow it begins to die.
Christianity received a new impetus
when church extensions was born.
Education has been an infinite bless
ing to the church 1t teaches us that
money is not our own, but is given
to us to be used in building churches
and establishing schools over the
country Mr.. Corey explained that
the extension board was organized
in 1888 Since then S4 loans have
been made in Texas, the amount ap-
proximating s75,750. This contri-
button to the board came from
church collections and gifts. Texas
has paid back during the past seven
teen years the sum of SAL ,430.50
Of this amount j. r. Pickens of Ty
Ter gave SIS, 900 and E. B. Davis of
Italy $4,000. Since last October the
| board has loaned to the church at
Menardville $500, Ell Campo $500
fisherman $4,000, Lampasas $1,000
and Dallas Fair Grounds church
$500 The extension board now ha
on hand the sum of $3.50, 900. Since
the board began making loans it ha:
lreceived back from churches the sum
of 100000. In all the board has
handled S1,O70,000. A remarkable
| thing in connection with this board
is the fact that the board has only
| lost S563 This loss was caused by
the destruction of church in Kan
sas by cyclone.

Chemistry has proved that the 80
elements are not independent, ulti-
mate things. Astronomy and chem
istry together have rendered II prob
able that all the elements are simply
stages in the evolution OF matter
from simple into complex forms, the
organic life which exists on the
earth being simply the later end of
this process of evolution from the
simplex toward the complex. Thysics
has found way OF producing out OF
ordinary atoms minute cathode ray
particles which are much smaller
than atom. and has also found that
certain of uor heaviest elements are
In the very act OF spontaneously
transmitting themselves into simpler
forms. To our first question, then,
as TO whether the elements are trans
mutable In the laboratories of ma
ture, we may return the answer that
certain OF them. at least, are trans
mutable; and II is probable that In
natures laboratories all of them are
produced from some simple, primor-
dial stun.

Thus far he has indeed learned how
to obtain cathode ray particles from
any OF the forms of matter; but he
has not learned how to produce by
any OF the agencies at his command
any of the so recognized elements
from any other. He has caught ma
ture in the very act OF doing II herr
self; but none of the agencies now
known to the chemist or to the ply

quired to produce these changes are
probably forever beyond mans
reach. The relative little changes
which we are able to produce on
earth have no measurable effect at
all upon the transmutations which
uranium, radium or thorlum are
undergoing. Although, then, our
modern science has opened out be-
fore us view which the ancient
alchemists never had of the wonder
full operations going on In natures
laboratories, we are at the present
day Just as impotent as they In the
face of the problem of the transmu-
tation OF any element into any other
element. II the secret OF this trans
formation should ever be found we
should be able TO unlock almost In
finite stores OF energy which we now
know to be wrapped up In the atoms
of the elements. Curie proved. In
1908. that the disintegration of a
gramme of radium llberates at
least 100000 times as much heat
energy as is evolved IN the combus-
tion OF one gramme Of coal. Fur
thermore, 1t Is extremely probable
that similar enormous quantities OF
energy are locked up In the atoms OF
all substances. j. j. Thomson estl-
mates that enough energy Is stored
up In one gramme OF hydrogen TO
raise 100000 tons through 100
yards. II Is not improbable that IL
is the Transformation OF this sub
atomic energy into heat which main
tains the temperature OF the sun.
Ehould man ever be able to unlock
this energy he would doubtless look
back upon the day In which his pre-
genitors burned coal to warm their
houses and 10 drive their engines
with the same curiosity any pity with
which we look back upon the day
when our naked ancestors ploughed
their fields with crooked stick and
lit their fires with the spark from
flint.

A dispatch from Medford, Or
Monday says w. r. McKissick was
Killed while attempting to climb up-
on moving freight train in the Med
ford yard yesterday afternoon at 4
O'Clock, his body being literally
ground into fragments.
Mckissick was a miner working in
the Blue Ledge mine. Coming home
unexpectedly he found a man named
Law interfering with his domestic re-
lations. Saturday he attacked Law,
and chased him down Seventh street
In Medford, and threw a rock at him
In front of the Nash hotel. Yester-
day McKissick swore out a warrant
for the arrest of Law. and had the
chief of police at Grants Pass hold
him. 1t Is supposed he was attempt
ing to board a moving freight train
to go to Grants Pass to have the
warrant served, as the regular pas,

The warrant was found on the mu-
tilated body after his death.
The dead mans legs were cut off,
his head crushed and his brains in a
pool in the dust. and it was neces-
sary to gather up the remains in a

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition of the mu-
cuous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infiamed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to Its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out OF ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an intlamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
