General Association of Mis-.
souri, BaptiSts Will Con.
vene Here Oct. y.
COMMITTEE NEEDS HELP
Not Enough Hotel Accommodations in
Town to Take Care of the Large
Number of Visitors.

The General Association of Mis-
souri, Baptists will hold its annual
convention in Lexington beginning
Tuesday, October %, and lasting the
remainder of the week. The local
Baptist congregation for some time
has been making arrangements for
entertaining this convention, but
it seems that the public at
large knows very little about
the nature of the gathering.
1t has been fifteen years since the
Baptists met here and the people have
forgot what one OF these meetings is
like.
Mesdamss E. c. White, E. N. Hop
kins, Ferd T. Bates and Miss Madge
Nicholson, who constitute the com
mittee on entertainment, started out
few days ago to secure board and
lodging accommodationsfo for the guests
and so far have met with very meagre
success. The people visited did not
seem exactly to understand what was
expected of them.
The proposition is simply this:
There are great many Baptist
churches in Missouri and nearly
every one of them will send one or
more delegates here to attend the
convention. OF course the hotel ia
cilities here are altogether mad
equate for the entertainment of so.
many people and the Baptists alone
are unable to care for all the vis-
itors by opening up their homes. So
they are forced to ask the citizens
of Lexington generally to help them
out by giving the delegates board or
lodging or both. The committee is
prepared to furnish cots and bed
clothes to those who have the room
but are short on beds.
Whatever is done will not only help
out the local Baptists but will help
the town. 1t is highly desirable that
that these visitors from all over the
state take away with them a good i'm
preston of Lexington. If they are
shown bum time they will think
that Lexington is a bum town and
will not hesitate to say so when they
60 home; but if they receive a cor
dial welcome and plenty of good food
they will do a great deal to advertise
this city.
Lexington is a beautiful town and
the visitors are bound to get a good
impression of its municipal excel.
lence. 1t is up to the people to make
good on the proposition of hospital
ity.

Bicknell Young of Chicagv
Addresses Good Sized
Audience.
CORRECTS FALSE IDEAS
Says Scientists Believe God is Mind. .De
Scribes Mrs Eddy...E. NJ. Taubman
introduces Speaker.

Although the weather was dis
agreeable a good sized audience
Thursday evening went to hear the
lecture Of Bicknell Young, c. S. b., Of
Chicago on the subject of Christian
Science at the Grand Opera House
Mr. Young is a member of the Board.
Of Lectureship and prominent in the
councils of his church c. .h.. .h......... :. 49,.
went to hear him speak had high ex-
pectations, and no one was disap-
pointed.
+. M. Taubman made the intro
ductory address. Everyone who isl
trying to make the world better and
raise the moral plane, he said, de-
serves the respect and cooperation
of all Christians. The Christian Sci
entists, he declared, are certainly
trying to benefit humanity.
Mr.. Young then prefaced his adj
dress by stating that he came not
as proselyte but merely as an ex-
positor of the principles of Christian
Science. His intention was to state
some of the cardinal principles of his
religion and to correct certain false
impressions in regard to his sect that
were prevalent.
Some of the chief tenets Of his re-
ligion, he stated, we're as follows:
l. That thought is the fundamental
element necessary for all activity
and therefore mind is the highest
power. So God is mind.
,. That God is personal but not
corporeal, and that the mental image
Of a being that many people have
when they pray is not right.
). That God is good and therefore
infinite Good is God.
4. That God is Love and therefore
infinite Love is God.
.. That since God is good aud not
evil and there is only one God, there
Is no evil, although it seems to exist.
6. That sin, sickness and death
seem to exist on account of a false
sense of material existence.
L That no religion is valuable un-
less it is scientific and practical.
That Christian Science is eminently
practical.
Mr.. Young declared that the gen
orally accepted belief that Christian
Scientists would say to a sick man
"Oh, you're not sick. You Just think
you're sick" was entirely false, since
all of the Scientists had gone through
suffering themselves and were
sympathetic with any one in
trouble.
He also showed that the doctrine of
the noneXistence of sin could not be
construed to mean that any one
could do as he pleased with impunitv.
He closed by giving a short des-
cription of Mrs. Eddy, the founder of
the Christian Science religion. She
was plain, motherly New England
woman he said, and yet in her pres
ence one felt that She was power
full genius.
Mr.. Youngis of attractive appear
ance and has soft though powerful
voice. He is an excellent public
speaker and delivers his arguments in
4 convincing manner.

The apple is such a common fruit
that very few persons are familiar
with Its remarkably efIicacious medi-
cinal properties. Everybody ought
to know that the very best thing they
can do is to eat appless just before
retiring for the night Persons un-
itated In the mysteries of the fruit
are liable to throw up their hands In
horror at the visions of dyspepsia
which such suggestion may sum
mon up, but no harm can come even
to delicate system by the eating OF
ripe and Juicy apples before COINS to
bed. The apple is excellent brain
food, because 1t has more phogphomc
acid in easily digested shape than
any other fruits. 1t excites the action
OF the liver, promotes sound and
healthy sleep, and thoroughly disin-
fects the mouth This is not all; the
apple prevents indigestion.
