Young peoples societies in Baptist
churches have been in existence more than
half century. In the year 1S4S there was
an organization OF young people in the
First Baptist church Of Rochester, n. Y.
The Covenant band was organized in 1868
and Christian EndeavOr societies had their
origin in 1884.
"For nifty years." said f. w. Foster, one
Of the men responsible for the first state
organization. Baptist young people have
been organized as pastors helpers In many
Baptist churches. The value and power
OF these local organizations depended
largely on the success OF the pastors in
directing the energies OF their young peo-
Pile There are many churches in the coun-
try which claim to have had the honor Of

and doubtless II all the facts We're known.
these societies have been In existence in
some OF the Baptist churches OF America
for seventy-nve or 100 years. Regarding
thees various claims we OF Nebraska have
nothing to say.
Nebraska took the lead In the move
ment for bringing the various societies to-
Eether in one organization. Some twenty
years ago the young pastor and the young
laymen OF the church began 10 feel the
need OF an organization by which the ener-
Eiss OF young Baptists might be unified.
Finally. IN October. 1883. the present Bap-
tist Young Peoples union was organised
At Grand Island though at that time Il
was known as the Nebraska Convention OF
Baptist Young People.
Organization was rapid In other states.
The nrst convention was held In Chicago.

bers each year from 1900 to 5000. where
In the early sos II numbered only that
many hundreds. OF late years no con-
vention has had less than $500 dele
gates, and the average has been 500
or better. The Omaha Baptists are
preparing to entertain at least 5000
visitors the week Of the convention.
Preparation for the entertainment OF
such a number Of strangers calls for
the expenditure OF an enormous
amount of energy by the members Of
various committees. In the present in
stance the work was made more diff
cult by the fact that a very short no
tice wss given for preparation. At the
last convention. held two years ago at
Detroit, It was decided to make the
convention biennial, instead OF annual,
as formerly. Kansas City gave an in
vitation TO the union to hold the 1907
convention in that city, and this was
accepted. Last February plans were
disarranged by the death OF the Kan
sas City man who had practically

Growth in Seventeen Year,.

The movement has grown wonderfully IN
seventeen years. In all the United States
and Canada there is scarcely Baptist
church that does not have its young peo-
pies society in some cases a Baptist Young
Peoples union and In some cases Christian
Endeavor society. but in all cases a society
which Is member OF a state organiEati ton
and which Is afiliated with the national
organization. Every state OF the union ana

Something that quickly appeals to the

of English walking hats, made Of linen and

pliable, protect the face, quite serviceable

veryone, no matter how humble or impor-
ant his or her position may be in the

men of large business interests have en-
Outraged the vacation idea as a part OF
food business judgment.
Vacations are merely relative after all,
or what would be a complete rest for one
'erson would be irksome for another. and
ice versa. But for the average city
abitue, who, perhaps. constitutes the rank
uiet place, with body of water nearby,
the objective point. The summer tour
st has received such consideration in re-
ent years from the transportation com
panies, outftters and hotel men, that the
erson of even moderate means is able TO
Ian his outing with ease and know within
close estimate before leaving home what
lis expenses will be. He has as much

he has received an increase in salary or a

intil the iced tea is served. Then he

COUDERT PIER REBUILT
ANOTHER RAID LIKELY.
Oyster Bay Shore Front Resident
Defes Tozcn authorities.
IBy Telegraph to The tribune. ]

Oyster Bay, Aug. 6.-AnOther shore front bat
tie may be pulled off tomorrow. for it has
reached the ears of the village authorities that
Frederic r. Coudert has rebuilt his pier in the
face Of the pTohibitory orders of the Town
Board and Highway Commissioners.
This morning Mr.. coudert bad a force OF car
renteEs at ysrlI bTfglss satf sarly an his fallen
pier, and long before naon it was as stanck
and strong as it stood on Thursday morning be-
fore the destroying hand of the Highway Com
missiOners threw it into the water.
Mr. COudert evidently expected trouble, for he
remained at home all day. Possibly he was
waiting for the Highway Commissioners and
their axe and crOwbar men to appear, and it is
just possible, too that he had the shotgun he
mentioned when he last spoke of the matter to
Constable Jack McQuaide. That occasion was
last Friday morning when McQuaide served
Mr.. Coudert with the restraining order, for
bidding him. in the name of the Town Board. to
rebuild his pier until the courts should have
settled the ownership of the ancient highway
along the waterfront.
Mr.. Coudert told the constable that had he
been present when the pier wreckers were at
their work he would have defended the struct-
ure with a shotgun.
And had a wagon there to take you to Jail
had you tried to that gun." replied Nc
Quaide.
Since then Mr. Coudert has entered suit
against Highway Commissioners Hawxhurst
and UnderhiH and Constable McQuaide for
damages for destroying his personal property,
and it is likely that George B. Stoddard. town
counsel, will within a day or two make answer
at MineOla, the county seat, on behalf of the ac-
cused officials.
When the Highway Commissioners made their
second attack the piers last Saturday they
did not again mOlest the COudert pier. for II had
not been repaired since its first overthrow. but
they issued another warming to employees of
George Maxwell and Mrs. j. West Roosevelt
that their piers must not be rebuilt. Any ef-
fort to repair them, the commissioners an
nounced, would be a signal for them to- return
and dump the entire piers into such deep water
that they would not be easy tC recover.
