He also stated that the association was in good financial stand ing and did not owe a cent.
 The names of the winning team and of the two men who had secured the largest number of ne wmembers were then announced. The team making the highest number of points was the business mems class, and the gentle men who secured the largest number were w. P. Hill, 27, and R. l.. Cross. 23.

 MT.

 Gold medals were then presented to the athletes who had made the best records in their respective classes. Earnest Lackmond was awarded the medal for the intermediate class, Thomas McGeever for the preliminary, and Edward Bowron for the junior class.

 BY DYNAMITE
Used a Short Fuse and the Force of the Explosion Blew a Box Car
 From the Track.

A Slav miner named Crouts was brought to Birmingham yesterday morning on the Frisco road and taken to St. Vincent's hospital, suffering from dangerous in- juries caused by a dynamite explosion at the Bessie mines of the Sloss-Sheffied company, near Palos. The miner had sev- eral ribs broken and bruises on the head and legs, besides internal injuries.
 1t is learned that Crouts used a short fuse in making q blast and he was blown some distance from the place where the blast was ignited. The force of the ex- plosion was so great that a box car was blown from the railway track at the same time.

an interdenominational and international movement It represents something not necessarily bound to old traditions, and certainly something that does not run in ruts It is a dynamo giving added force and power to existing machinery. It is a promoting agency to facilitate work al- ready under way. We want to create, if possible tremendous energy which shall be felt through all our churches.
 "2. It is a missionary movement It has a great ideal, namely, to reach the whole world in this generation. It recog- nizes the fact that the church has been in the retail business long enough. It is a challenge for something larger and more far-reaching. Its broad statesman ship will appeal to men. It's purpose is to do the largest thing of which anyone has any conception-'to devise a compre- hensive plan Gin conjunction with the sad board secretaries), looking toward the evangelization of the world in this generation It is to ask the men of this generation not to pass their own work on to future generations, but to do 1t themselves, now.
 g. It is a laymen's missionary move ment. It is intended for the mature men of the fight It is not an appeal to stu dents or to women and young people; the s. -cial work for these classes relongs to other organizations; it is an appeal to the mature men of today who now have in hand the money which they can give l. they will, and who can moreover give
