NEW CHURCH FOR
 PRESBYTER|ANS

So much interest has been stim- ula1ed by the Presbyterian church by the revival being held by Rev. Wm. H. Richardson that the mem bers of that body have begun to investigate the matter of securing a new house of worship. At a meeting held yesterday afternoon the matter was thoroughly discuss ed. It was suggested that if the Baptict congregation succeeds in building new chruch that their present house of worship might be bought by the Presbyterians and would furnish ample accommodations tor some years to come, and this suggestion seemed to meet with much favor, although some express ed preference for an entirely new building. The matter was referred to the committee for investigation: A. J. Witt, T. M. Moore, s. M. Apple, w. R. Sturgis and Mrs. M. F. Underhill.
 The revival services by Mr.. Richardson will continue through out the week, services being held at 3:3o and 7;3o p. III. each day.

Todas Paper Deved the Campaign the Baptist Church for New House Worship

and not one had declined to help, He said a number of unusually lib eral subscriptions had been made by young men of the town, a num- Der of whom are not members of any church at all.
 There are several visiting minis ters in town to-day assisting in the campaign. These are personal friends of MT. Hurt, and men who have had experience in building churches. They are Rev. Ben Cox, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Little Rock; Rev. F. F. Gibson, pastor of the First Bap- tist Church of Ft. Smith; Rev. R. G. Bowers, Financial Agent of the Baptist Schools, and Rev J s. Rogers, of Pine Bluff, Missionary Secretary of Arkansas. All of these gentlemen are here for day only, and will leave on the night trains. There will be rally at the Bap- tist Church tonight, to which all are invited. By this time all sub scriptions will have been counted up and announcements will be made. Each of the visiting mem bers will make short addresses.

 T0DAy'S SLOGAN
BAPTIST CHURCH CAMPAIGN ON
Subscriptions for New Building
 are Solicited.
Local Church, Assisted by Visiting Minis ters, Working for $25, 1000 House
 of Worship.

Twelve Thousand in Day?" This is the motto of the Baptists of Conway today. They have set for themselves the task of raising in a single day an amount suffic- tent to guarantee the erection of a new building. It was the idea of Pastor Hurt that whatever amount could be raised in Conway might be catalogued in single day with more ease and satisfaction than if the campaign for funds was pro- 1onged flor several weeks or months.
 Every possible facility for con- 6ucting successful campaign has been provided. There are eight different soliciting committees on the streets today, each committee having a definite number of par ties to see. Services are being con ducted almost every hour at the Baptist church, where a number of worshipers are engaged in prayer meeting. The prayer ser vices began at the early hour of 6:3o o'clock this morning. There is no clashing of arrangements, every committee and individual worker having a specific duty to perform, and no two or three per sons being assigned to the same thing.
 A large improvised clock has been placed over the door of the Faulkner County Bank, and along side the clock are the following words: "Every figure on the clock stands not for an hour but SI ,ooo. The hand will move around as the subscriptions come in. We hope to strike twelve by night. Please help the hand move around. In addition to this device which indi- cates the progress of the campaign from hour to hour, the bell of the Baptist church rings every time a thousand dollars is recorded.
 Rev. Hurt stated before an audi ence that filled the Baptist church last night that the interest of the town in the undertaking of his peo- pie was encouraging beyond his fondest hopes. He declared that he had talked with number of the citizens with reference to as- sistance in building the church

The score was 35 to 5 in favor ot the visitors. A large crowd witnessed the game.

ADDRESS BY REV. J. J. HURT
Need of New Baptist Church
 Here is Urged.
Subscriptions to be Pressed Today in Su preme Effort to Secure New
 Building.

To the Friends and Fellow citizens
 of Conway:
 It seems that the time has come for the BaptiSts to erect new building, The movement is forced upon us by the dilapidated condition ot our present structure. Besides this, it is utterly made quate to our needs, as is evident almost any Sunday. From time to time have talked with one and another about building here, and you have encouraged me. I had hardly expected to launch the movement just now, but circum- stances that I need not detail led me to recommend to my people that we begin now. It has seemed wise to us to make the effort of our lives for one day. All of us are busy, and it will be better for my church and Better for the commun- ity at large to claim only 'one day for this matter,
 Action Asked To-day.
 l want to ask, therefore, that our friends will give cordial recep- tion to the committee who calls to- day and indicate what the amount of their subscription will be. Pay ments, of course, can be arranged to suit the contributors. We pre- fer that that they be made payable i'll four equal semi-a nual install ments, beginning March I, 1909; but this n ltter is not so important as the amount. We are exceed ingly anxious to know at once what amount can be raised ill our church and in the community, Then our formal application will be filed with the Baptist Church Extension. We will get several thousand dollars from this source.
 Cheerful Words Also Requested.
 The success of any large under. taking depends to great extent upon the sentiment which gathers about it. Almost anything, how ever worthy, can be drowned ort of existence or seriously injured fol life. 1 want to ask for boosters today and not 'kickers. Oul plans are not perfect, 1 suppose but they were the best we could make. Let me ask for charity o judgment if anyone disagrees with us today on any point. Il your idaes are decidedly against our methods, mention the matter to- morrow and not today. Today we need every word of encouragement we can get, and every dollar that any friend may be induced to con- tribute. Tomorrow words of criti- cism would not sting so much as today.
 And Now Finally
 Personally, 1 will have a hun. dred and one things to do today. l

DOGS IN WhRTIME
OF GREAT VALUE IN FINDING
THE WOUNDED.
Frenchmen Urge Minister Of War to
Have Animals Attached to Am
buIance Corps-ldea Is Not
New One.

Since dogs have proved to be such
able assistants. to the Paris police
COPS why shouldn't they be trained to
reinforce the hospital and ambulance
service Of the French army? The adj
vantages of this innovation have been
set forth at some length by DR.. Biche-
Tonne and Capt. Toilet in a volume
which has just been published. 1t is
entitled the Dog as an Aid to the
Sanitary Corps"
That dogs should be taught to seek
out the wounded on the battlefield is
no new idea. The experiment was
tried with success at the time of the
Boer war, and at the battle of Cha
Flo in the conflict in the far east three
dogs sent out by the German Alliance
discovered 23 soldiers who had been
given up for lost.
In 1890. by order of the German
war minister, two dogs were added to
the sanitary corps of one of the crack
regiments. Since then clubs for the
training Of dogs in war time have been
formed in Dresden, Cologne. Coburg,
AiXla-chapelle and Neuwied. Similar
societies have been organized in Hol-
land, Sweden and Italy. In fact all Of
the European countries have turned
their attention tc the subject at one
time or other except France.
Dr. Bichelonne and Capt. Toilet URGE
the military authorities to repair this
omission. There are many good
breeds OF dogs in France which would
take easily to the military training.
1t is an undisprted fact. these all.
Ln)rS say, that after an engagement
there are m@n% wounded and dying
VINO are overlooked by the nurses and
litter carriers. A case in point is
quoted. At the battle of RcZOnyiIle
Gravclotte in 1870 two injured soldiers
lay for three days in Il ravine. The
ground had been gone over many
times by the ambulance service and
yet they had not been found. In in.
stances like this the usefulness of
dogs as scouts is unquesrioned.
1t Is a wonder that European armies
have not awakened long before this
last decade to the importance Of dogs
as practical helpers in war time, the
authors think. On the battlefield the
role OF these canine assistants would
be very much the same as that of the
st. Bernard dogs-and they have been
reScuing snOwbound travellers for sew.
eral centuries
