GREAT MEETING is
ON AT NEW ORLEANS.
Churches of Christ Are Holding
Great Convention.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct. 49,
At a meeting at tn. Athenaeum
last night Cephaes Shelburne of Dali
las, Tex. preached to a great audi
ence at tending the International
Missionary Convention of the Chur-
ches of Christ.
Mr.. Shelburne took as his theme
the fact that the cross of Christ in
three languages and developed from
this incident an argument showing
how modern churches of all creeds
are pushing aside UNCONVENTIONAL
barriers in favor of more intimate
relations with each other.
''The tone of our preaching is
changing from intolerance to toler-
ance." Mr.. Shelburne said. 81 re-
member very well the time when a
minister of another denomination
was considered a fair target Of any
pulpit. Old issues that never were
important are being dropped, there
is an increasing sense of brother
hood, and we are disposed to en-
phasize the things in which we agree.
The old segregated church is giving
away, and there is rapidly grow
ing sentiment IN favor Of Christian
union. Sermons are losing their ire,
sharpness and bitterness"

Purpose of Meeting.

The chief purpose of the South
erners in holding their big meeting
is, in the words of one of the origi-
majors, "the provoking of a fuller
understanding by the people of the
South of the gifts that nature has
placed under their control" But,
without discounting the vital impor-
lance of promoting the business In
terests of their section of the coun-
try, the promoters of this Congress
in Washington say they hone that it
will have an even deeper significance
and bring about a closer union be-
tween the North and the South. "Of
course the Congress has practical
and commercial aspects" says one
of these men, "but there lies in the
minds of the originators an ethical
purpose looking towards fuller un-
derstanding and union between those
who have for a generation suffered
from misunderstanding and seem
ing separation of interests

POSTMASTERS TO TALK
Will Give Information in Public Schools
About Mail Service.

Washington, Sept. 9-Postmaster
General Meyre has made an order that
promises beneficial results. The post
masters Of the country have been di-
rceted to confer with their local school
authorities as to the practicability and
dseirability of delivering to the school
children short talks on the postal serv-
ice. The design is to inform the pu-
pills of the scope of its operations, the
methods Of delivering the mails, the
classification of mail matter and regis
try and money order systems. Incl
dentally they are to make known plans
for betterment, such as the establish
ment of postal savings banks, and the
extension of the parcels post. When
ever it may be impracticable for the
psotmasters to deliver the lectures they
are to furnish the necessary informa-
ton to the school supervisors 80 as to
equip the regular teachers. It is the
postmaster generals expectation that
the school children will be useful to
the postal service in seeing that letters
are properly and plainly addressed.
That there is necessity for action Of
the kind is shown by the buisnses
transacted by the dead letter Office.
During the last year Is, 145, 172 pieces

both parties. If republicans do not

candidates from the democratic party

people will be kept advised of the

the saloon question. Managers of the

option plank, as sufficiently binding.

DOMINION TO HAVE EXHIBIT
Notice of Official Acceptance of A.-Y.-P
Invitation Received at Victoria.

Victoria, B. c., Sept. 1.-THE Do
minion of Canada will be represented
at the Alaska Y okon- Pacific exposition
in Seattle next year. This has just
been determined and will mean that
Canada will make representative ex-
hibit The action is taken on the strong
representation made by Hon. W. Tenn
pleman, Victoria's representative in
the house of commons, and member
of the government of Sir Wilfrid Lau-
rier. Mr. Templeman was so i'm
pressed with the opportunity afforded
that he made very strong representa-
ton to his colleagues at Ottawa. He
urged that the opportunity presented
at Seattle to advertise Western Canada
should not be overlooked. British Co.
lumbia mineral, horticultural, fishing,
timber and other industries should be
we'll represented, he said, and the prai-
ries as wheat producing section could
be prominently brought to the atten-
ton of the visitors who would attend
the exposition The result was that
he has just received from the minister
of agriculture, under whose department
the matter of exhibits comes, a dis
patch saying: "We are sending our
official acceptance of invitation to par
ticipate in Seattle exhibition "
The extent to which Canada will be
represented will be determined later.
For a number of years the Dominion
government has undertaken to provide
exhibits at big expositions and fairs.
This will relieve the province of Brit
ish Columbia from making a separate
exhibit, and will make but one from
the whole Of Canada, which can be
done on larger SCALE
