PLEAD FOR MISSIONS
INSTITUTE SPEAKERS EMPHA-
SIZE IMPORTANCE OF INTELLI-
GENT MISSIONARY ENDEAvoR.

DR.. II. l.. E. Leuring held the atten-
ton of the delegates at the Missionary
Institute conference this morning. Dr..
Leuring, informed his, audienc fully as
to the existing conditions i'll the mis-
sionary field iii Indiaa a11fkd emphasized
the need Of, limited efforts of all Chris
tian workers. to SUPPORT the mission
work in foreign lands. p ~as1a92 s'55.' :
DR.. Leuring has Been missionary in
India for the Methodist Episcopal
church for the past sixteen years.
Speaking of the Indian population, he
said,
They look for salvation, but their
religion cannot give it, in their desire
that their idols and gods might pardon
and save them and free their souls,
they undergo the most horrible Tor
tures.' -.
The speaker continued to give the
most vivid description Of the horrible
and CHASTITY self-punishment which the
Hindus undergo. He described the
horrors of the fire-walking festival and
the conversion Of the beautiful daugh-
ter Of Nippon, who stood the tests of
the five terrible fires and who tried to
atone FOR her sins being left. a. child
cold-pond torture, but who is now one
of the powerful Christian missionaries
inuBengal. .ss
Dr.. T.. n. sailer discussed "Why
Study MissionsqH during the confer
ence hour. His address was of sound
educational value to the teachers in
mission work. Mr.. Sailer made the
plain statement that a great, many mis-
sionary meetings are pedagogical
absurdities.' c4.Et.:.4. r. : -. 3
He argued that church people study
missions because they are a living
issue; because the work of study has
been 50 neglected in the past.
This evening DR.. Leuring will give a
lecture on one Of the most interesting
subjects of his mission work experience
Dr.. Moore of the: Centenary Baptist
Church will also speak. This afternoon

PURDUE BASKETBALL
MEN CAN'T COME 50 FAR

Because the Purdue university facul-
ty objects to the members Of the Pur-
due basketball team s making the long
trip to Minneapolis it is probable that
no game will be placed at the unlver-
sity between Purdue and Minnesota. AS
a result the schedule of the Western
intercollegiate Basketball association IS
somewhat in the air and it. is possible
that the western intercollegiate cham
pionship may not be decided. !
:, The news that the Purdue team could
not appear in Minneapolis was decided
ly disappointing to the members Of the
university basketball team, who have
been training faithfully in preparation
for the boosters and who hoped to
start the season with a victory. Dis
quieting rumors from Illinois that the
Illinois faculty contemplates refusing
the basketball team permission to make
any trip away from Champagne are
also invading the basketball atmo-
sphere at the university.
q Minnesota will be severely handi-
capped in the race for championship
honors if the Purdue and Illinois facul-
ties persist in their decisions and re-
fuse to allow their teams to come to
Minneapolis for gaines. Such action
would mean that Minnesota would only
meet the Purdue and Illinois teams in
only one game and that would be
played on their own floors, fact that
would put the Minnesota team at dis.
advantage.

DOG SMASHES WINDOW /:
And GIVES FIRE ALARM

3
While the family was absent this
morning, the home, Of William Sladd,
Fortieth4streeet and Fortieth avenue S.,
was, totally destroyed by fire at asloss
of about $4,000. Mr.. and Mrs. Sladd
had spent the morning downtown and
the children were in school. They re-
turned at noon, without knowledge Of
the fire, to find the house in ashes.
The first thought of the children was
for their pet Newfoundland dog, whom
they knew had been locked in the
house. Their calls brought their big
pet, however, and it was found that he
had leaped thru second-story window
when he found all other avenues. of es-
cape cut off. He had plunged thru the
glass, and with the exception of a few
scratches, was unhurt, to the extreme
delight Of the children. -.
The wild barking of the dag, after he
had made his escape attracted neigh
bors, and the alarm was turned in. But
it was, too late to save the building and
its contents. The kitchen stove is
thought to have been responsible for
the fire.
