Spokane Sends More Relief.

Spokane, Aug. 3.-Quick relief in
the form of bread, butter, other pro-
visions and clothing is being given
the destitute people Of Fernie. A spe-
cial car of supplies sent yesterday
from Spokane was followed today by
shipment of 5000 loaves of bread.
The mayor and members of the Cham
Der of Commerce instantly responded
to appeals for assistance. The relief
committee of Spokane is swamped
with contributions, which is only an
other instance of the generosity of the
American people in time of disaster.
The report says that tents and bed
ding are also badly needed in the
stricken district. The fire has swept
an area of 100 square miles.

Nelson, B. c., Aug. "a thousand
refugees, the overflow from Cranbrook,

by the presentation of encouraging re-
ports from the treasurer and several OF
the boards, the second days session,
of the Baptist General Association Of
Virginia gave a distinct impression Of
the progress being made by that denOm-
iRattOn throughout the State.
Ministerial education, orphanage, and
Sunday school work were the topics Of
discussion at the five-hour morning ses-
sion, during which the main floor of the
church was entirely taken up by the
delegates, who sat through the session
without intermissiCl. and without the
necessity for a single call for order in
the house, until near the closing mo
ment.
At the night session the pastors who
have come into Virginia during the year
were formally introduced, after which
the report Of the State Mission Board
was read, and a discussion OF that work
begun.
The question Of the consolidation Of
the Sunday school and Bible board with
the State mission board came up, and
was referred to a special committee for
report on Monday II is evident that
the association is divided on that sub
ject, and that the debate will be pro-
