delivered by Miss Matte Pounds of
tendent nf The Junior Workers Con.
ference This Is Miss Pounds first
visit to Texas and she said she had
come here 10 get as many old people
as possible Interested in the young
peoples work She said that saving
the children Of the church and MAX
ing them useful servants of the Lord
was q great work God has given US
a great opportunity to work among
the children. and yet It Is remark
women can be found who are will
ing to teach and train them. This
effort In behalf of the children is
work that means much for the
future church the church of tomor-
row. 1t has been my observation
that there are SO few in the churches
who are willing to serve. The Sun
day school offers a splendid advant-
age for training children. but there
should be exclusive training schools
into which the children could be-
gathered together and trained for
service in the church The Chris
tian Endeayor is also great move
ment and If the children are enlisted
in this organization II will be
mighty force in the evangelization of
the world
At the conclusion of this address
Mrs. Walter Crow entertained the
audience with vocal solo.
Mr.. F. l.. Jewett of Austin, who
has charge of the bible chair in the
University OF Texas, spoke in behalf
of the chair. urging the importance
of its continued support by the board
He reviewed the work which has
been accomplished by reason of es-
tablishment of this chair, saying that
about eighty university students were
enrolled in the bible study class this
year. OF these, about sixty-two were
in regular attendance during the en-
tire year.
After a number of announcements
had been made by Mr.. Mcpherson the
benediction was pronounced by Mr..

Junior Workers Conference.

There has been a big increase in
the attendance today from points
throughout the state. Large dele
cations were brought in by the trains
last night and this morning, and the
reception committees have been kept
busy loking after the visitors. The
fact that there has been no confusion
in handling the visitors is due in a
great measure to the fact that all
plans had been previously perfected
by the various committees. The
duties of each committee had been
clearly outlined, every member knew
what was expected of him. AS the
visitors would reach the city they
would be directed to the Main Street
Christian church, where committee
was in waiting to assign them to
temporary homes. Among the dele

With several hundred voices blend
ed harmoniously In singing Coro-
nation the annual meeting of the
Texas Christian Missionary Conven-
tion was formally opened last night
at O'Clock at the Main Street Chris

be one of the chief features of the
convention, is being directed by a
choir of Waxahachie singers, assist
ed by the Wise orchestra The pro
gram for the first session was under
the direction OF the Christian Wo-
mans Board OF Missions. and was
given in the presence of large au-
dience Mrs. Ida V. Jarvis of Fort
Worth, president of the board, pre-
sided over the meeting
After the singing of two or three
songs by the choir and audience, Mrs.
Jarvis announced that the welcome
address would be delivered by Mrs
Yancey d. kemble of Waxahachie
Mrs. Kemble's address was character
lied by its uniqueness and origin
ality. In happy and felicitous vein
she accorded the visitors a hearty
welcome to the hospitable homes of
Waxahachie. She said that while
it was a priceless privilege to well
come such an assemblage, her heart
was too full to give proper expression
of the many good things prepared
for the comfort of the visitors In
alluding to the work of the women
in the cause of missions she said it
was a delight to welcome an organi-
zation that stands for the highest
and noblest purpose of life She
urged all members of the Board of
Missions to forget the failures of
the past and with renewed zeal and
courage reach out for higher ideals.
In closing her address she said she
hoped this gathering would bring a
harvest of tender remembrances
when it became a thing of the past
The response was delivered by Mrs
Jarvis of Fort Worth. Mrs. Jarvis
said she had no formal speech tc

Hugh Hoover. who has been living

Hoover, near Sheridan last week and
announced that he had come to buy up
lot Of cattle for Chas. Smith, a stock
dealer Of Sikeston. He engaged Mr..
Ebb Sullenger to ride with him and in
one day bought about fifty head, pay
ing handsome prices for them. The
cattle were to be delivered at Tolu
Saturday morning.
On Thursday Hoover came to Marion
and sent Telegram to Mr.. Smith to
forward him money with which to pay
for the cattle. Then he disappeared.
No one knew what had become Of him.
His father came 10 town and a thorough
search was made. but nothing could be
heard Of him. Owing to the fact that
he sometimes had cramping spells, his
father and friends feared he had been
stricken with one Of these Fttacks and
died somewhere on the road, and the
search was renewed the following day.
Much excitement prevailed. but nothing
was heard Of the missing man until
word came that he had arrived in
