ALONG MISSION LINES
Home Mission Board Heartily Favors
Avoiding EntsgIing of Other Demo
nations That Endaneer Purity OF the
Doctrines--Appeal Comes From
North for Aid In Negro Education.
tBy Associated Press.l


BALTIMORE, MD, May l3.-Home
Missions formed one of the principal
topics of consideration at today's SEES
sion of the Southern Baptist eonyen-
lion.
Rev. DIR. Burrows reported that
there was n general increase during
the past year of S114.oOO for the
home and foreign mission boards.
The board OF home missions strong
ly endorsed the policy of the Southern
Baptist convention of having no EN-
iagling alliance with other Christian
Lodies that can, In any way, endaneer
the purity OF Baptist doctrines or
practices as Baptists.'
Union Hendrance.
This utterance referred specifically
to the labors OF the board in Panama
and Cuba. where 1t was stated that
the work was progressing rapidly, but
that difficulties in the way of the
work of both the Sunday schools and
other phases have developed in the
trend towards "so-called church union
efforts and the obliteration or disre-
bard of demnominational lines"
I'VE report" the board adds, that
the lives OF protesting Christians.

making. are Il hindrance instead OF
help to the Baptist church. Then, too.
the efforts of some Christian work
ers. to discredit denominational work
In the interests of an undefended
Christian union are adding 10 the
difficulties of our Missions"
Strikes at '. N. C. A. :
The report. though not stating
specifically. was aimed at the Young
Mems Christian Association, accord
ling TO statement made by Rev. r.
{. Dargan, OF Macon, Ca. member of
the Cuba and Panama committee. At
ter the session he said:
In Cuba and Panama the Y. NJ. G.
A. stands for the undenominafionaI
presentation of christ; the Baptist
church has always. and will always,
stand for the Baptist presentation.
do not mean 10 speak disparagingIy of
the Y. NJ. G. A. I only mean that the
Baptist church ought not to merge
with anybody in work among the MIS-
sions."
Appeal for Negroes.
An appeal from the Baptists of the
North. asking that their brethren. OF
sbc SodtH, dlu tntH IN TAKING care
OF the negroes, created a stir in the
convention. The matter was referred
TO a committee and Will come up for
later discussion. The communication
came from the American Baptist
Home Mission Society, with head
quarters in New York IL declared
that two-thirds of the negro Baptist
ministers have had no more than the
merest rudiments of a common school
education, "and are derlorably defic-
lent In qualifications for spiritual edi-
hcation and leadership"
The Northern society desires the
cooperation OF the Southern Baptists
In the management and maintenance
OF It's schools in the South and pro-
poses the establishment of a number
OF summer schools there for the benz

Sign Language

An English ethnologist has discov-
cred that deaf-mutes are frequently
able to understand the signs used in
stead of words by many savage tribes.
Thus in Berlin he found that deaf
mute children understood, without
previous instruction, the signs en-
ployed, according to Sir Richard Bur-
ton, by the Arapahoe Indians for such
words as mother, sister, yes, no, truth,
lie food, thinking. seeing, trade, day.
This fact, together with others of a
similar nature, indicating a striking
identity in the sign language used in
widely separated parts of the earth,
have led to the suggestion that man.
kind may originally have had mat
ural language" Of signs, common to all
races.

Debt Kills Independence.

How many men are today antici.
pating their earnings, pledging their
salaries, and are thus under the ne.
cessity of dragging after them a load
Of debts and obligations which Sc
riously affects their action as free and
Independent men.
Nothing lowers man in selfrespect
like placing himself at the mercy of
tradesmen. Running into debt is not
only slavery of the worst kind, but
it is hard for man who is in debt to
be truthful, for while he is framing ex.
cuses for postponing payment he is
apt to contrive falsehoods. Many q
man has dated his decline from the
day onswhich he first borrowed money.

CATHEDRAL GOING TO RUIN
Magnificent Structure at Messina Rap.
idly Being Destroyed by
the Elements.

The cathedral of Messina, which
was greatly damaged by the great
earthquake. has been neglected to
such an extent that its ruins are in
worse state at present than they were
Immediately after the disaster. Thus
the traces of the Romanesque and
Gothic periods of the original build
ing, which fires and earthquakes had
spared, have now disappeared.
Many Of the choir stalls designed
by Giorgio Veneziano in 1910, and
considered excellent specimens of
artistic wood carving and inlaid work,
have been irrevocably damaged from
exposure to the sun and rain, as tar
paulin to cover them was only pro.
vided six months after the earth
quake. The magnificent ciborium of
gilt bronze and different colored mar
bles on the high altar is covered by
ordinary sheets, which do not afford
sufficient protection against the
weather; besides it weighs on the
ceiling of the crypt, which is flooded
with every rain and threatens to col
lapse.
Deputy !Nava, who represents the
province Of Messina in parliament.
says that $4,000 is needed to repair
the cathedral Professionally and save
the artistic treasures it contains. but
although $20,OO0,000 has so far been
spent in building wooden houses and
clearing the streets of the RUNE; city
the cathedral has been entirely forgot
ten. despite the fact that it is one of
the most important churches in Sicily

PROFITS OF U. S. TREASURY.
The Several Sources From Which
They Are Derived.

The government profits slightly by
the destruction of stamps which have
been paid for, and the treasury gets
the benefit of bills which are lost and
never found.
A larger source of irregular profit
lies in the failure of bondholders to
present their bonds for redemption
Unclaimed money in the treasury
due to bondholders amounted to
nearly 100000 in 1861, and the
sum is much greater now. Of loan
which fell due in 1900 a sum in ex-
cess of $4,000 remains unclaimed
Over 100000 are still unpaid of the
5 per cent. bonds which were due in
1904. In 1907 over $100,0O0,O00
30year per cent. bonds came due
on July LIST. Special inducements
were offered to secure early redemp-
ton, yet at the end of that month
$13, 100000 still stood in the treas
ury on that account, although inter
est had ceased.

MILLINERY.
INSURANCE FOR The WHOLE PEOPLE

ular standard form policy for the
working people.
The company will also write the reg
ular standard forms from one thou
sand dollars upwards, but particular
attention WILDE paid to the inter-
mediate class. The city fields are
so extensive and the harvestsso great
that the northern companies writing
this class of insurance have not had
time to go into the smaller towns
and outlying districts.
The working class must not lose
the protection that stands between
the widows and orphans and poverty.
The laboring man must not lose his
sense of security and independence.
Money cannot measure the comfort
and consolation that has been
brought by insurance. Think of the
destitute widows and orphans, of the
thousands who died last year, and the
year before, and the year before that,
who were not provided for. Think
of the poor houses, the aims houses,
and then think of the relief, and COM
fort, and good that this new institu-
ton, the WashingJon-Lee Life Insur-
ance Company of Georgia, will do.
Intermediate Insurance comes as a
blessing. 1t gives protection to those
most in need, and it is furnished at
a price that is within the means of
the most mental. ct is based upon
the same insurance laws as regulate
the other fOrms) 1t is intended for
those who are forgotten, neglected,
and passed by, and it was with these
thoughts that the Westinghouse
Life Insurance Company of Georgia
was formed
