BAPIISTS TALK
ABOUT MISSIONS
WORK or CHURCH IN NORTH DA-
KoTA IN a VERY FLOURISH
ING CONDITION.

Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. 23-Yes-
terday was the second day Of the an
nual convention Of the Baptists now
being held in this city. and was the
most important one OF the session. the
banquet In the evening proving the
feature OF the day. Missionary work
was the general subject Of the day
and q number Of very interesting dis
cussions we're listened to by the dele
gates and ministers in attendance.
Committees for the convention were
also announced as follows:
Nominarion-B. L. Carlton, A. Ay-
mar and C. C. williams.
Enrollment--W. S. Begg, Rev. f. e.
r. Miller and Mrs. o. A. webster.
Anniversary--Dr. A. j. MCDANIEL,
Minot; Rev w. L. VanHorn, Fargo;
M w. Spaulding, Grand Forks.
Resolutions-Rev. H. p. Blunt,
Jamestown; Rev. r. r. Green. Ellen
dale; Rev Herbert Tilden, Fargo.
Missions are Discussed.
The days discussion or missions
was opened with the report of the
standing committee on home missions,
which was given by Rev. j.. McKin-
non. The report showed that the
work OF the church in the state along
the lines Of missions was very salts
factory and that It is growing rapidly
and steadily. The report OF foreign
missions by Mrs. e. J. Babcock show
ed like condition Of affairs in that
department of the work.
The feature Of the morning session
was undoubtedly the address OF Rev.
Frank Peterson, D. D., joint secretary
for the Superior district, Minneapolis.
MINI. DR.. Peterson took up mission
airy work in general. and showed in a
very forceful and interesting manner
how the giver to missions is really
becoming missionary himself. He
stated that there are now about 1900
Baptist missionaries preaching the
gospel in over forty different Ian
guages. In home mission work, he
said that the society was responsible
for the establishment Of $500 new
churches, and that in spite Of all it
had done, the movement was still in
It's comparative infancy.
Rev. d. d. Proper, d. D., OF Omaha,
Neb., was the next speaker, and took
the subject, Importance of Early oc-
cupancy Of Mission Fields. DR.. Proper
told OF the opposition to missions in
many fields and declared that the
best method to overcome this oppo-
sition is to get in on the ground floor.
He pointed out the fact that the church
that gets into territory first always
commands the sympathy of the people
the best location and generally speak
ing proves the most effective. He
said that there were S25 towns In
North Dakota without Baptist
churches and the proper time. to in
stall them is right now.

himself had the interesting occupation
Of running for a state office more thu
once. 1t will be noticed that the grac
allowance is only $25, which may b..
considered rather small. Altogether
the enumeration has a number of In
teresting points and is as follows
Office Work.
Campaign literature, circulars. an
nouncements, letters, envelopes, per-
haps buttons, cards to cover 100, 0oo
voting lists three times, $500: stamps

about one third has been designated
as the indifferent" vote, while two

general direction. Avoid the main
roads The intelligent consultation of
map and fingerposts will be suf-
ficient to guide you across footpaths
and along by-roads in your determin-
ed course. Make no drastic resolves
about meals. Make your usual break
fast and have no other substantial re-
past until your days walking Is over.
A little chocolate or extract Of beef
or fruit will keep you going during
the day. A fresh supply can be OBJ
tanned as you go along. A useful rule
will be found in taking a rest very
early in the days journey-as soon as
the first mile or so Is coyered-it re-
stores the accelerated circulation to
its normal condition. Avoid stimu-
lants or an undue amount of liquid of
any kinu. Don't worry about your
next sleeping place. That will come
along in due time. A farmhouse or
a cottage or village inn will be sure
to be at hand within a reasonable dis
tance of your prescribed limit, or for
the more robust the starry heavens
can occasionally make an airy roof.
A morning dip can often be had from
the secluded bank or stream, or the
barn of farmhouse converted into
temporary bathroom. This may be
"tramping" rather than touring, but
it is ruralizing in excelsis.
Don't worry about programme be-
yond the general maximum average.
1t is the utter aimlessness and aban-
donment which are the chief charms
of walking holiday. Take things as
they come. Make no fantastically
elaborate preparations and your walk
ing tour will be thoroughly enjoyable.
The matter of the change Of clothing
Is the chief difficulty. Here little
regulation is necessary. Send a
change Of clothing ahead. Pick them
up, and leave the others to be for
warded.
Above all, don't cultivate style"
of walking. Be at your ease. That
is the essence of a walking holiday
