season. The game was clean through
out and there were no injuries. The
field was rough and muddy.
The Barracks went on special
coach attached to a freight and re-
turned in the same manner, reaching
home at 8 d. m. The coach was Sc
cured through Agent Parker of the
Northern Pacific and the courtesies
shown the team are greatly ap-
preciated. The train crew consisting
OF r. F. Benjaim, conductor; E. l..

EDDY HEARD FROM
Former Congressman Is Billed TO
Talk Temperance From the
Public ROStrum

Hon. Frank NJ. Eddy, of this city,
fOl eight years congressman from the
old seventh district, and publisher of
the Sank Centre Herald for three
years and a half Immediately preced-
ing the present ownership, has signed
a contract to talk temperance for two
years. MI Eddy's work will not be
along political lines, but will be temp
erance, pure and, simple, to assist in
the reclamation Of those addicted to
the use of strong drink. AS public
speaker Mr. Eddy has few equals and
no superiors, and it is foregone con-
clusion that he will be as great
power in his new field of labor as
he was in the political arena.
Mr.. Eddy's first appearance in his
new role will be at 3 o'clock next
Sunday afternoon. Nov. II, at the Met
ropolitan opera house, Minneapolis, at
a meeting to be held under the aus
pices of the International Uplift So
ciety. Hon. S. P. Snider, a former con-
gresham from the Hennepin county
district, will preside, while Hon.
Frank M. Nye, present congressman
from the same district, will introduce
Mr.. Eddy. Mr.. Eddy's subject will
be "Corns'', Temperance from a nov
eli and original standpoint. Mr..
Eddy's many friends at GlenwOOd, his
old home, are planning to have him
visit that town and deliver his ad--
dress. It is safe to say that he will
draw big audience wherever ne
speaks.

Thieves entered Mrs. A. BartO's
rooms in her building on Third street
last Monday and stole fine gold
watch which was a present from her
late husband, the Hon. Alphonso
Barto, former lieutenant governor OF
Minnesota. The watch was valued
very highly by Mrs. Barto both for its
intrinsic value and on account Of the
associations. Some person, probably
the same one that stole Mrs. Barto's
watch, stole silver watch from the
rooms over Swift's bakery on the
same day. Chief of police JAS
Connolly is endeavoring to locate the
thieves and recover the property.

delinquent list and makes this offer
to help in accomplishing that result
This is good offer and The Herald
believes it will meet the approval of

prices for all material. But a special
offer occasionally is right along the
line of sound business principles.

FIRST COMMUNION
AuspiCiOuS Event At Our Lady of
the Angels Church

| Al Our Lady OF Angels Church on
November first, which is the Feast of
All Saints, class of twelve girls and
len boys received first communion
from their beloved pastor, Rev. Fr.
O'Connor
High mass was ceebraed al len
O'Clock, members of the Willard cnolr
assisting the nome choir After read
ing the epistle taken from Rev. VII:
ZIP and the gospel according to ST.
Math. V: lip, the pastor spoke words
of sweet counsel and wise admoni.ion
Ill such simple, earnest language thai
the youngest child could take in all
! the rich meaning. 1t was the soul of
most anxious father appealing to
each individual TO live up to the high
est standard of Christian womsnhood
and manhood, that we might be num-
bered with the ranks of sains who
have made the past glorious history
O. the Church.
We feel that this class of communi-
cants and the other three classes
which he prepared have been especial
| privileged, for FIR. O'Connor is one
OF those who seem to perfectly under
stand child nature, and VINO know SO
well how 10 fit the young mind and
heart for coping with the problems of
the present age. He has the happy
faculty of making spiritual life look
sweet and inviting.
The hour of religious instruction is
always an hour of delight to the chill
drer as their shining faces show whel
they come home brimful of the good
things Fir. O'Connor has told them. If
they only live up to the good impulses
he has inspired, and cultivate the
precious seeds he has sOwn in their
hearts, each youth and maiden will
one day put a strong, willing shoulder
to the wheel OF Christian progress,
and will make citizens of high moral
principle.
How can we think of letting such
an energetic worker and man of abil-
ity dwell any place but in our midst.
Look at the work he has done dur
irg his pastorate of eight years in
Glenwood, Willard and Sank Centre!
He came to us fresh from the semi
nary with much to learn in the school
OF life where the clergy and laity
must take lessons together. If in
these early years of effort he has been
able to remodel two churches and
build a third, with very limited re-
sources; to use such wisdom in train
ing the young and be able to bring
So many converts into the fold; think
what his ability for the coming years
must be, for now he is man of ex-
perience who, through his dealings
with humanity, has been able TO make
close study of human nature, the
greatest of all problems.
Surely we can i'll afford to lose such
pastor with his most fruitful years
yet to live. We cannot do our fam
lilies such an irreparable injustice as
to let our faithful and devoted pastor

Met His Death

The second of FIR Arts letters
about his travels III the East takes up
The subject where he left off in last
weeks issue, namely the city of Jaffa.
Here's the letter:
Jaffa is one of the oldest cities OF
the world Pliny declares that 1T
was built by Tapes, the daughter of
Aeolus and wife of Cepheus. andre
media was here bound to the rocks and
left to be devoured by sea monster;
she was delivered by Perseus.
To the Christian traveller the city
possesses only one place of interest,
the traditional site of the house of
Simon the Tanner where st. Peter had
vision mentioned in Acts x: 9-16.
At Jaffa Peter raised Tabitha to life.
The house of Simon is small, dIngy,
modern house one room of which has
been converted into a mosque.
There IS a good carriage road from
jaffa to Jerusalem, distant Al miles.
The distance by rail is 81 miles owing
To the difficulties of the route. We
left Jaffa by train at p. m. and az
rived at the station outside the walls
Of Jerusalem at about $50 p. m. The
route crosses the plain of Sharon,
passing close to LYDIA and through
Ramleh, often following the road over
which the Ark of the Covenant was
brought from Enron TO Jerusalem.
AS our train was standing at the
station l observed that the locomotive
was built by the Baldwin company of
Pennsylvania. This Insignificant fact
seemed 10 divert the land of some of
it's strangeness. The supply of drink
ing water of the train was large
black goat skin lying in the aisle.
Water was drawn from it by tossing
the leathern thong which bound the
neck.
The. passengers were of many IA
tiOns, bare-footed Arabs, pious Christ
ians, pilgrims, adventures and Jews
La Syria no common bond binds men
together. 1t is land of human deg
radiation and contempt. There is no
patriotism, no national feeling. Both
the MOhammedan religion and the
Turkish rule tend to degrade men. The
subjects of the Sultan know that the
only interest their rulers have in them
is 10 exact taxes from them. Mis-
rule ignorance and poverty have de-
based nature in them.
The railroad station is outside the
gates at the foot of hill about one
half mile from the city. AS 1 passed

one no longer hears people suggesting
that o person should enter the min
istry.'
An encouraging feature noted was
that the Baptist ministry of Alabama
is better paid than 1t ever was. The
minister's life was shown to be hap
by one. and more than twenty-five
years service on the part of the genial
speaker proved the statement
Rev. Robert Jones, pastor of West
End Baptist Church, read an excellent
paper on who should enter the work.
He gave in choice language the pre-
requisites and quairhcations of Chris
tian workers, emphasizing the need Of
spirituality above all other qualifica-
lions.
Rev. ]. Henry Bush. pastor of the
Highland Avenue Baptist Church, spoke
on Are we praying for and expect
ing laborers from our midst?" This
speaker said:
Our people are not praying. God
saws, Ask and receive We have not
or He would have given. for His word
is true.
Our experience as well as history
proves that God does give laborers
when we pray. We do not expect our
men and boys to go into the ministry
but are not surprised at others doing
SO elsewhere. why not? The answer
is written large Unbelief.
The Program Committee has request

EPWORTH

Question Of Holding Meeting In Each
Conference to Come Up.
SESSIONS MAY BE DIVIDED
Membership OF Organization Has
Grown OF Recent Years Until

Separation il Sug-
xested.

A number of Epworth Leaguers of
Montgomery will leave this week to
attend the annual convention of the
Leagues of the two Alabama confer
ences which meets at Mobile on Tues
day. The convention will be in ses-
sion three days. closing on Thursday,
June 20.
The program as made out for the
three days Of session is an interest
ang and instructive one, and the dis
cussions that will take place are like
ly to be of the greatest local and State
interest. Each church in the two con-
ferences which has an Epworth League
10 entitled to delegates according to
the membership. and inasmuch as the
membership in the States is a very
large one 1t Is expected that the larg-
est crowd will be In attendance In the
Gulf City that has yet attended any
convention of the religious institution
One Of the most interesting questions
that Is to come up for a consideration
is one that has to deal with the d.
vision OF the annual conventtons-one
for the Alabama conference and the
other for the North Alabama confer
ence. The State membership in these
two bodies has grown to such an ex-
tent in the past few years that a di-
vision is now looked upon as almost
imperative, and the discussion having
be of great moment.
The point is made that should each
OF the conferences decide to have an
annual convention of the Leaguers in
their midst, the various churches in the
State will be able to send larger dele
cations than ever before in ats his
tory. In view of the fact that interest
in the organization tends to send a
large crowd each year to hear the dis
cassions, 1t is said that 1t has now be-
come hard matter to have cities Of
fer for the entertainment of the
guests.
"A strong list of speakers has been
provided for the sessions, including,
among others. Bishop Warren A. Can

Epworth League Era, of Nashville, and
