Mecca and Congressman-elect William
O. Barnard is the reigning sovereign.
Judge Barnard is beginning to know
what it means to be congressman
and is being besieged by applicants
for postoffices throughout the Sixth
district, both by personal visits and
by letters. Hardly a day goes by but
what the Judge has his attention called
to the fact that so-and-so is an appli-
cant for the postoffice at some point
in the district and asking his recon-

distant points in the district would-Ee
postmasters make pilgrimages to this
city to enlist the influence Of the
congressman-to-be in their behalf and
Mr.. Barnard is finding out that the
life of a congressman is not an envia-

teresting paper read at this mornings
meeting of the Friends Missionary
conference at the South Eighth Street
Friends church by Mrs. Phariba Ste
vens. Mrs Stevens pointed out the
wonderful work that is being accom-
plished among all denominations by
studying the needs of each field, and
how these should be met. 1t is stat
ed by many as one OF the most inter-
fore the convention.
Charles e. Tebbetts, secretary of the
Five Years Meeting of Friends of
Richmond, gave a very interesting
talk on Missionary Study Glasses and
How to Organize Them" Mr.. Teb-
belts told of the great events transpir-
ing in the world and stated that as a
church the Quakers were ignorant of
them and pointed out the great need
of the study classes.
Children and Missions" proved to
be very interesting subject as pre-
scented to the conference by Mrs. Eth
ell Kirk Calvert. The speaker very
ably presented that while young, the
children should be instructed about

fields. She pointed out that at pres
ent there is no church in Richmond in
the young peoples movement.
At the meeting this morning it was
announced that the officials of the
Young Peoples movement at Pitts
burg had asked permission to come to
terest the people in this work. The
invitation has been referred to the
Ministerial association. 1t is under
stood that If the invitation is accepted
the association will send delegation
to Richmond which will interest the
young people in this work. Moving
pictures and missionary exhibits
would be introduced and men would
be bought to the city to speak. The
matter will come up for consideration
next Monday morning at the meeting
of the ministerial association.
A. Warburton Davidson of London,
enroute to China, told his experiences
as missionary in China, at the con-
ference last evening. Mr.. Davidson
is returning to China for the third
time and he stated that he expected
to meet friends among the Chinese
who were dear to him and would vel
come his return. He dealt mainly
with the peculiarities of the Chinese.
He told Of how Robert Morrison, the
first missionary to that country was
taught the language of the country by
Chinese who had poison at his elbow
ready to swallow, in case any of his
fellow countrymen should discover
him teaching the language to a for
eigner.
To show the rapid growth of chris
tianity in this Oriental country, Mr.
Davidson said. "Seventy-three years
ago there we're only three missionaries
Z in China and in 1908 there were 1000
In 1912 there were but six churches
and now this number has increased tC
about 10000"
A high tribute was paid by the
speaker to the implicitly and faithful
ness of the character of the Chinese
and every case was illustrated from
happenings that come under his per
sonal supervision.
