The fourth session of the State

the most prosperous in the history
of the school. Mrs. j. II. Phillips, of
Birmingham, who is at the head of
the faculty, arrived Monday after
noon so as to be able TO take up the
work of organizing yesterday. Mrs.

address by the Hon, II. T.. Whitfield,
State superintendent of education.
Prof. Whitfield has always evinced
deep interest in the normals here this
year, and has spared neither pains
nor expense in securing the most
competent instructors. In his work
he has had the hearty cooperation
of Hon. A. A. Kincannon, the local
director. who, though recently elected
chancellor of the State University at
oxford, will remain in Columbus un-
til the close of the normal, and will
have general supervision of the
school The dormitories OF the col

Meredith brought succor to the de-
spairing fans on yesterday afternoon,
when by clever work both in the box
and at the bat he enabled Columbus
to win from Mobile, and thereby fat
ten her fast dwindling percentage.
The doughty Missourian was pitted
against Ray for Mobile, and honors
were evenly divided up TO the eighth
inning, each team having made three
runs. 1t was in the eighth that Mere
dith got in his work with the willow,
and made merry the hearts of the
faithful fans who had journeyed TO
Lake Park TO see the game. Andrews
started the thing going by touching
Ray for a single; Manush sacrificed.
Meredith stepped up to the plate and
raped a long drive to the right field.
which netted him three bags and
brought Andrews in. Wright then
sent a bingle by second base, which
was too hot for McCay to handle. and
Meredith went sailing home. When
he touched home plate there was a
yell of joy, and he was presented
with a hat full of silver coins.
As has already been remarked,
ogy, and the playing of the Colum-
bians yesterday afternoon was mark
ed by a brilliance which exceeded the
inertia and listlessness displayed by
them on the previous day. They hit
Ray freely, while the fielding was Of
the top notch order, the work of Nc
Divitt in the left garden having been
little short OF phenomenal In the
ninth inning, when Mobile had a man
on first and stood an excellent chance
TO tie the score, he made two sensa-
tionaI catches, which retired the side
These were long flies which went
close against the fence, and TO cap
ture them required excellent judg
ment as well as fast running on the
part OF the fielder. McDivett has been
putting up q fine imitation Of man
playing good ball recently, and as
q token Of their appreciation of his
work the local rooters presented him
with a well filled purse yesterday az
ternoon.
"Tex' Jones, who since Huber'8
departure has been playing short
stop, was put on second base ye8ter
day afternoon. Jones was engaged to-
hold down the central bag, and his
playing yesterday shows that this Is
his position. He Is clever with the
stick, and when I'm the field accepts
every chance, having had five put
outs and nine assists in yesterday
game. All the boys did well yester-
day, and If they'll only keep the good
work up Columbus will soon begin 10
climb the ladder Of percentages that
leads to success and to the pennant.

Church Union in ENGLAND.

Union of an organic nature among
the three smaller of the Methodist
denominations in England-the United
Methodist Free Churches, the Method
list New Connection, and the Bible
Christian Methodists, of which the
first is more than twice the size of
either of the other two-is about to be
consummated, says the Record of
Christian Work. All together they
number more than 100000 members,
with over 700 ministers, and nearly
$500 chapels. The three bodies, which,
when the union is legally completed
by act of parliament, will be no longer
three, but one, will be known as the
Union Methodist church. It is hoped
by many that this may prove the first
step to the organic union of all those
British Christians who call John Wes-
ley their ecclesiastical father.

MESSAGE FROM MISSIONARIES.
Workers in China Send Out an Appeal
to Mission Societies.

The following letter has recently
been sent to the members of the for
eign mission boards and societies in
all Christian lands, and is signed by
% missionaries of various boards with
missionaries in Shanghai:
students are the most influential
class in China, and heretofore they
have been also the most conservative.
There is no better index of the change
which has come over the empire than
the recent remarkable exodus of the
$500 Chinese students to Japan. Prob
ably there has not been in the history
of the world any such migration of
students from one country to another
in an equally brief period. These stu
dents are from all parts of the empire,
and belong to the educated and official
classes. They are bound in the future
to influence nightly every missionary
interest throughout China.
''The students are living in Toxic
amidst dangerous conditions, tending
both toward extreme radicalism and
great immortality. The good influ-
ences which might come from Japan
are practically shut off from them, be-
cause the Chinese students have but
little Japanese or English, while the
Japanese do not speak Chinese.
There are in Japan a number OF
revolutionary Chinese politicians who
are filling the minds of the students
with fanatical anti-Christian and anti
foreign ideas. The students are, there
fore, in danger of becoming a real
menace to China, and are serious
hindrance to the missionary enter
prise.
''The general committee of the Young
Mems Christian Associations of China,
Korea, and Hong-Kong, has deter,
mined upon making an effort in their
behalf. The Shanghai Missionary AS
ISOLATION appointed a committee to
call the attention of the boards of
missions throughout the world to this
great need, and to ask their hearty
cooperation with the Young Mems
Christian Associations in this enter.
prise. The recent cooperation Of the
missionaries with the Japanese troops
in Manchuria affords valuable exam,
pie as to the results of such coopera,
ton"
