DIR. Stages Appointment.

sfThe appointment Of Dir. J.. j
Stagg to the position Of supervisor
of elections in ST. Landry came as q
severe shock to the di~visionists, nc
doubt. They had seemingly become
convinced that no one could down
their candidate, r. Il. Derouen Of
Vile Platte, and some even boasted
ON the streets Of 0pelousas that il
could not be done. Apparently, il
was up to the politicians about
whom the diyisionistg have SO much
to say, to get busy, and busy they be-
came, with tbs result that Dr.. Stage
received the appointment, even
though Mr.. Derouen had the endorse
ment of che parish's four members of
the legislature and OF President Doss-
mann Of the Oyster Commission. The
whole thing ii about as pretty a
piece of political work as has been
pulled of in this parish in recent
years, and the moral to the story is
that endorsement don't always some-
times win. 0pelousss Courier.
tn reference to the above, / desire
TO say that Dr.. Stage was not a can
didate for the Office Of Supervisor Of
Election at the time Mr.. R. Is. Derou-
ems name was presented TO the Gov
ernor, and / understand only became
q candidate q few days before the
appointment.
The reason that actuated the divi-
sionists, including myself, IN urg-
ing the appointment of Mr.. Derouen
was the fact that the antidivisionists
had already the other two members
of the Board, and we thought that It
was but fair play and justice that
such d large number Of the citizens
Of the parish as compose the division
lists should have representation on
such an important Board.
AS to the Governors connection
with the affair, | do not hesitate to-
say that if there was any political
trick III the appointment Of DR..
Stage lie was not aware Of il, and
had he known that ii smacked of POI
Iitical trickery | am sure he would
hot have made the appointment, as
he IS not wont ID eondone q support
political trickery.

thankful to have this much, and our
faithful little band are pressing on
not discouraged, but hoping and
praying for better things in the

Our Corresponding Secretary, Miss
Lena Phillips, read her beautiful re-
port, which was enjoyed by all. In

urged. We have 8 number Of tithes

us as we endeavor TO do His viii.
Mrs. Paul Foster was elected dele

Annual Meeting of the Conference
Society to convene Id Monroe April

and she viii endeavor to bring back
all the enthusiasm and the good cheer
that it is possible for her TO absorb.
Our Home Mission Society only
numbers eleven members, but our
Treasurers report was very CRAFTY
ing indeed; and We felt ike singing
Praise God from whom all Blessings
Flow" We feel very much encour-
aged, and our hearts are full Of joy
because the Lord has given to each
OF us d little corner in which to work,
both in our home land and also
among the heather. Let us be faith
full so that when our Lord shall come
we will hear Him say: Wen done,
good and faithful servant, enter thou
into the Joy of thy Lord"

An interesting class Of students
for our foreign work is preparing for
graduation at the Searritt Bible and

Everyone who will offer for SER
vice is needed, and should be sent
out this summer.
The appropriation sent to the sew
eral foreign missions in the Deem
Der quarter amounted TO $4,000,
but the receipts were over $50, 900.
Our Auxiliaries are thankful no
doubt, and may rejoice over the fact
that our Wuman's Missionary Society
is alive, but should keep ii mind
always that success is sometimes
embarrassing. It is certainly true
that If our constituency fail to in
crease their gifts or suffer their zeal
to decline they will fail to pay the
price Of success.
The need Of means to carry on the
work, is very real, and The need of
missionaries is quite as real. The
hearts Of the people are Gods, and
the cattle upon a thousand hills are
His, and the invitation to ask and
The promise; re shall receive are

that no good thing will He withhold
