MOVING IN DAY At BEREA BAPTIST CHURCH

Last Sunday was a history making
day in the life of the Baptist Church
in this city. At ten o'clock in the
morning the Sunday School moved
into the splendid new addition 10
the Church now nearly complete.
There was a debt of $1,000 resting on
this structure when they moved in.
Two hours later this had been entire
ly wiped out and the building dedi-
Gated free of debt to Gods work and
the work of the Church. OF this
amount 5000 was subscribed by the
different classes of the Sunday School
and the balance, by members and
others at the vigorous and effective
solicitation of DR.. w. d. Powell dur
ing the Sunday School and Church
Services.
The new addition is on the east
end of the church. 1t is two stories
high and contains eleven teaching
rooms for the use of the Sunday
School classes. Every room is well
lighted with one or more windows,
and each room, as well as the main
Church auditorium, will be furnace
heated. These rooms will fill a long
felt want. There are thirteen classes
in this school which has total mem

DEATH OF W. P. PREWlTT

Many were surprised and grieved
to hear of the death of Mr.. w. l..
Prewitt, the auctioneer, at his home
at Slate Lick last Saturday. He was
SO years old and had not been very
well for some time. Mr.. Prewitt's
home was in Kirksville but he has
been living at Slate Lick for three
years ON account of his health. The
funeral was held at Kirksville Sunday
by the Masons ana the body taken to

The address of the day was made
by DR.. w. d. Powell of Louisville,
who is Corresponding Secretary of
the Baptist Board of Kentucky. DR..
Powell was for sixteen years a mis-
sionary under the Baptist Church in
Mexico and there had many thrill
ing experiences, more than once be-
ing in danger of death at the hands
of lawless Mexicans. He has for three
years occupied his present office as
Secretary. In his address, the subject
of which was 1.-THE Glory of The
Latter House Shall Be Greater than
the Former" which was greatly en-
ioyed by all, he said, among other
things, that the Sunday School IS
the strongest factor in the work Of
bringing new members into the
Church, fully SO per cent of the
increase in the Church coming thru
the Sunday Schools. He likened the
Bible School to the High School, point
ing out, that, as it would be impossi-
BILE for a modern High School to be
conducted in one room with all the
various classes punched together, go
it is equally impossible to do eff
cient Sunday School work under the
same conditions. Among several rea-

good investment he stated that more
people are reached for Christ AMI
the Church between the ages of nine
and twelve than at any other period.
He said that in order to be success
full in their work and to grip the
boys and girls of their classes and TO
lead them to Christ it is necessary
that the teachers get a grip on God
themselves by much prayer and BIZ
BILE study.
His last injunction was that as a
Sunday School and Church we should
stand together heart to heart and
hand to hand and that with faith
in God we you'd be able to go on
with Gods blessing to greater and
greater victories.

The situation in Ohio was character

President Roosevelt received the usual
amount of attention. In the concur
sion OF the article the nervous fear
of the party was reflected, the fear
that the wrong candidate had been
selected in Ohio, that the platform
would prove stumbling block AMI
that defeat for the party in general
vas inevitable. After the lapse of
two weeks II can not bc said that
the fear has entirely subsided, or that
there Is reason to believe that these
fears were groundless.
Ohio and Minnesota VS.. Kansas.
Two weeks ago Ohio and Minneso-
Ia had been heard from and both
had voiced the doctrines OF the
Stand-patters. since that time Kan
sas and Iowa have spoken and spoken
loudly. It is now Ohio and Minneso-
Ia versus Kansas and Iowa, and it is
not a difficult matter to see which
has created the greater sensation. II
Is admitted now on all sides that
the speaking tour of Cannon in Kan
sas was a great mistake. Many IN
surgents have been heard to express
the wish that he might have had
more time in the State, that he might
have covered 1t thoroughly, claiming
that If he had, their victory would
have been more complete. The two
Stand-pat Congressman would not
have been elected, as they think.
But it has seemed to the party in
general that the victory was sweep
ing enough. Kansas has only eight
Congressman and two of them were
already Insurgents. These gentlemen
had no opposition in the late pri-
mary. The other six Congressman
were confronted by six Insurgent OPP
ponents, only two OF the Stand-Pat-
tiers winning out in the Primaries.
So of the eight Congressman from
the State at the next session, If the
Republicans are successful in the fall
election. six will be Insurgents aud
two Regulars.
Iowa Convention.
In Iowa the primaries have not
yet been held and we can only re-
port on the Convention, but its senti-
ment was pronounced enough. The
two Senators from Iowa are Insur-
gents and they easily controlled The
Convention. The present tariff was
denounced not so much as a tariff
simply but because it did not fulfill
the pledges of the National Platform.
