The courage of the afternoon, which
had enabled her to speak to Haines as
she had, was gone; girlish fears now
swept over her as to the outcome Of
the evening. Halnes had not come,
was he really guilty and had promised
TO come merely to get rid of her? Why
was he late? If he did come, would
she be able to have her father see him,
as she had promised? If she failed
and she might, she would never see

earth and from every country on
the face of the Globe Seventh Day
Adventists have arrived in the ma
tons capital for the purpose of
participating in the quadrennial
worlds conference of Seventh Day
Adventists, which is to be held on
their spacious grounds at Tacoma

continues until June 9th. Already
some of the missionaries of this de-
nomination have arrived from China,
Japan and Australia.
The Seventh Day Adventists, who
observe Saturday as the Sabbath

94,O4S, 2,504 churches, 1,106 or
dained ministers, SO organized local

Bisbee WIN Cele-
brafe July Fourth

The Warren mining district, OF
which Bisbee is the center, has de,
cided to give and is now planning
for the grandest celebration ever
given in the Territory of Arizona
The Bisbee Board of Trade took the
lead in the matter, and with their
usual push and energy, has put
in the way of perfection probably
the most extensive program ever at
tempted on the Pacific coast out.
side of Seattle, Portland, San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles.
The attractions comprise a big
drilling match, with an attractive
cash prize; horse race for suitable
purse, town sports, grand carnival
balls, and a series of carnival shows
and attractions that will leave not
dull moment, night or day, for the
entire three days I'D, 4th and 9TH
of JULY, of the celebration.
All the ministers of the city have
been placed on the religious portion
of the program, and in Bisbee all
day Sunday, the 4th, will be given
up to the program suggested by the
ministers. Their program has not
been announced in full, but it will
comprise services at all the churches
after the order of such services in
l776. There will be grand open-air
sacred concerts, open-air speaking
along religious lines, and the pupu-
lation generally will enter into the
spirit of the day, and the religious
program will be as zealously carried
out as will the other features of the
entertainment.
Negotiations are under way for
the Payne fire works or the Fall
of Rome" something that has never
been seen in this portion of the
Territory, and either of which would
offer an attraction that will draw
thousands of people.
The drilling program will proba-
bly, be confined to miners actually
working at their trade, and with a
record not to exceed 40 inches.
The Country Club sports will be
offered good prizes, and will be
under the direction of committee
of members of the Country Club,
and in itself will be quite an attrac'
tive feature, owing to the formation
of the numerous country clubs
throughout the Territory
There will be grand street pa
rade the first day of the celebration
None of the programs have been
perfected yet, but the committees
in charge are all at work and with
in the next ten days full details will
be given out.

OMMCNICATION

EDITOR GUARDIAN--Thinking that
a few words from this section
would not go amiss, will endeaVor
to let you know how a Westerner
sees things in the far East. Sat
urday last this city was favored
with a visit from President Taft.
Fifth Avenue was lined on either
side with people who wished to see
our distinguished visitor pass, and
| must say that was very much
surprised to see the little enthusiasm
that was manifested upon this
occasion. AS Pittsburg rolled up
such majority for Mr.. Taft last fall
| naturally expected to see a great
deal of enthusiasm and loyalty ex-
hibited upon his visit, but have
come to the conclusion, if the labor
ing man could undo what he did
last fall he would gladly do it; but,
alas, it is too late. There has been
a good deal of actual want and
suffering here in the last eighteen
months.
Last month / was called to New
York City by President Rich to at
tend conference of presidents
which was very instructive, and the
influence of which will go through
out the entire mission for good.
Mrs. Jacobson accompanied me, and
we went via the Falls and returned
via Washington, D. c. Took sail
down the Potomac River to Mt,
Vernon, which was a very pleasant
trip. This is a very beautiful coun-
try this time of year, and to say
that we enjoyed our trip is express
ing ii very lightly. We visited
many points of interest too numer-
able to mention.
Saturday next we leave for the
southern part of the State and west.
