mems Convention
To Be Held In Mt. Vernon
Coming Week

Last year the Laymen's Missionary
Movement, held thirty-five conventions
throughout Canada, eliminating with
missionary congress at Toronto and
this year there is being held n great
conventions throughout this country.
These are being supplemented by
scores of smaller conventions, such as
the Knox county convention that is to
be held in Mt. Vernon, the 10Th and
10th of this month. Up to this time
there have been Al Of the larger con-
ventions held and with the opening of
the New Orleans convention the cam
paign has extended from the Great
Lakes to the Gulf and from Portland,
Me-, to the Mississippi river. In all
these cities remarkable results have
been obtained. Not only have the Lay
men of these cities been awakened to
the need of the heathen world, their
personal and financial responsibility in
the matter, but there has been spirit

that counts for much. IRON every
quarter comes testimony of the value
of these conventions in bringing the
business men of America to q realiza-
tion of the fact that active Christian
work is G9n's lob, that cvarg ,liza
tion of the world is task great en-
ough to appeal to the big men. For
the first time thousands Of men have
come to see that there is work in the
church for men to do, men of brains
and capacity and money.
The conventions thus far held have
had an average attendance Of over 1000
men. In most every district the
churches have doubled their mission
ary offerings and in some cases, Cleve-
land for instance, trebled.
The plans and prospects for the 10.
cal convention are continuing to
brighten. From every part of the coun-
ty come calls for information and the
word that there will be delegations
present The interest on the part of
the Mount Vernon people is evident
from the fact that they are opening
their homes freely and are anxious
that the convention be well taken care
of. The committee wish to urge that
all registrations be in by Thursday the

ations.

ter is more dangerous than heretofore
and that Mt. Vernon should not fail to
raise the $4,000.
Miles j. Fish stated that In his
rounds that he mad also been confront
ed with the idea that the Bridge Works
would not leave Mt. Vernon in any
event and that It took SO much time In
an attempt to convince people other
wise that II was difficult to make much
progress in soliciting.
Col. l.. G. Hunt made very enthus-
iastic speech In which he stated that
every citizen in the city should be seen
and everyone urged to contribute to
the fund and impressed with the real
condition-that the Bridge Works is
lost to Mt. Vernon unless the money
is raised.
Mr.. Isaac Rosenthall stated that in his
opinion that the matter coulu be ac-
complished by getting the whole mem
bership of the committe enthused and
go after the people and work hard;
that If the proposition is vigorously
stayed with that the work will be ac-
complished.
Mr.. Miles j. Fish stated that in his
opinion the amount could be raised If
enough people could be seen, but the
delay in arguing with them so greatly
hampered progress that it materially
interfered with accomplishing the mat
ter rapidly.
Mr.. w. A. Alderman made very in
teresting talk in which he delved into
mathematics, in showing the average
amount that should be subscribed by
each person to complete the fund. Up
to the present time the average sub
scription, according to his figuring
was entirely too low, unless there is to
be very material increase in the num-
Der of subscribers over the list of pos
sible subscribers whicn had been pre-
pared by the committee.
Mr. r. N. nitton was of the opinion
that as all persons should be willing to
contribute something to the fund, that
a subscription could be taken among
the employees of all the establishments
in Mt. Vernon where people are en-
ployed, no matter how few. He stated
that the employees of the Bell Tele-
phone company intended to turn in
subscription and suggested that sim
liar action be taken throughout the ci-
ty. He also suggested that in all man.
ufacturing establishments that it be
suggested that each employe donate
the amount of one days work.
Remarks in keeping with those pre-
viously made were also offered by Mr.
F. G. Mardis and Mr.. w. H. Thompson
On motion of Mr.. S. M. Woolson, the
subcommittee soliciting the funds
were directed to report on all their
cards at a meeting at the headquar-
ters in the West room on Thursday
night.
1t was also arranged that the sub
scripion committee meet each morn
ing at the headquarters.
The executive committee was direct
ed to solicit subscriptions from non
resident property owners and also
take up the matter of arranging for a
mass meeting.
Throughout the proceedings it was
very evident that those in charge of
the important matter are determined
to make it success.

Ter of Flo de Janeiro. Brazil. who is
interested in coffee plantations in that
country, (which is unknown in other
parts of the world. When a child is
born in the coffee country a sack of
the best grain is set aside as part Of
the inheritance to be received on at
tanning its MAORI r,
Usually the sack is the gift from
some close friend or relative, and it is
guarded as sacredly as If it were a
gift OF gold or bonds. No stress would
induce a Brazilian parent to use cot
fee which was made the birth gift-of
a child
"As a rule, It is sealed with the pri-
vate seal Of the owner and bears a
card giving all particulars about the
variety of grain, its age on being
sacked, and the birth of the child to
whom 1t is given, and other details,
which are very interesting when the
gift is due.
Generally, the coffee is opened for
the first time when the child marrles.
The coffee for the reception or mar
riage feast is made from the legacy,
and according to precedent. this must
be the first time the sack is opened.
After the coffee is made for the we'd
ding feast the sack is carefully closed
and sent to the new home OF the
young couple, and should keep them
In the staple for a year at least"

As a People, Americans Have Put

We of this big republic complacent-

temptation to acclaim them as proof

But herein do we forget that we

We raised our voices in contemptu-
GUS protest, against the first projected
railways. Had the locomotive waited
its signal from the people, 1t would
not yet have started.
When the electric telegraph was
shown to us we brushed it aside as
toy, and laughed its inventor to scorn
when he offered to sell us his rights
for few thousand dollars.
We put into jail as an impostor the
first man that brought anthracite coal
to market. We broke to pieces Howes
sewing machine as an invention cal
culated to ruin the working classes;
and we did the same thing to the har.
vester and the binder. We scorned
the typewriter as plaything.
We gathered together in mass meet.

reckless among us contributed to its
being.
