No coIIections AIlowed

During the Laymen's Missionary
Convention in Huntington. W. Va.
which meets on the 26th inst. no col

is going to bring the world to Christ
in this generation. This movement
is but the working out of system

OF the entire problem that has en-.
gagged the church since the days OF
the Apostolic Fathers. This conven-

to have America lead in this work.

Men and Missions.

Until quite recently. most people
held to the idea that the ministers
and the women had an exclusive
right to the field Of missionary en-
deavor, and in fact they had, until
quite recently. when the men OF the
nation. influenced by the stirring
campaign inaugurated by the Lay
mems Missionary Movement. with
headquarters in New York city. have
taken hold Of the spirit OF missions
in its broader sense and have begun
to make worldwide missions i bust.

vention. which occurs on the 26th.
9th and 2Sth OF this month, is but a
link in the chain OF large conven-
tons at which some Of the foremost
speakers in the mission field will take
a conspicuous part. Every church IN
the entire district should make It a
point to have one or more delegates
% this convention.

The Irreparable Loss.

asked the patient when he had re-
covered from the effects of the
ether.
'You were in trolley car acct
dent" said the nurse, ~and it has
been found necessary to amputate
your right hand"
He sank back on the pillow, sob
bing aloud.
Cheer up" said the nurse, pat
ting him on the head; you'll soon
learn to get along all right with
your left hand"
"0h, it wasn't the loss of the
hand itself that I was thinking Of"
sighed the victim. But on the.

tied around it to remind me to get
something for her this morning, and

LIGHTNING.
Some Facts About This Mysterious
Force Of Nature.

Lightning is still more or less a
mystery. We can initiate it on a
small scale in the laboratory, but its
gigantic manifestations in the sky
and its wonderful vagaries make the
wisest savants shake their heads.
We know, at any rate, that light
ming is the electric discharge at
high tension between masses oppo-
sitely electrified. Every little parti-
Gle Of moisture in the air carries a
charge, and when the particles
coalesce in q cloud their electricity
collects on the surface until the
tension becomes enormous. If two
clouds are oppositely electrified
they will lombard each other until
equilibrium is established between
them. If the opposition is between
the surcharged cloud and an object
on the ground terrific bolt passing
between the earth and the SKY will
relieve the electric strain without
regard to the well being Of any
creature that stands in the way.
A lightning fash often darts for
miles through the air. 1t begins
with discharge between two ad-
jacent particles. The next particle
receives the shock and transmits it
to its nearest neighbor, and thus it
rushes on, zigzagging along the line
of least resistance until the unbal-
anced energies are restored to
equality. The way Of lightning is
a crooked way when the path is
long, because the distribution of
the electric charges in the clouds is
irregular. The positive seeks the
negative and rushes to its embrace
wherever it finds it.
The eye is not quick enough to
unravel a lightning stroke, but pho
Biography can do it to certain de-
gree, and photographs prove that
the path of the discharge is waving
line. No discharge occurs until the
tension has reached the breaking
point. e., the point where the re-
sistance Of the air can no longer re-
strain the force of the gathering
charge.
What might be called the inner
structure of a lightning stroke is a
marvel. Professor Henry proved
that every stroke is an alternating
current, the oscillations occupying
but a few millionths of a second,
while the duration of the flash may
be a considerable fraction of sec

The Big Supper

at the Laymen's Missionary Conven-
ton will be a gathering long to be
remembered by those who are dele
gates to this meeting. Huntington
will be honored by a gathering of
representative men from a radius of
more than one hundred and fifty
miles. Good things to eat, good
speeches and a social session that
will insure a full attendance at the
sessions Of the convention to follow.
By sending for a registration blank
and supper ticket today you will
insure a seat.
Arrangements have been made for
some OF the foremost missionary
speakers in this country to be pres.
ent at this banquet and during the
following sessions. II your church or
your community lacks enthusiasm on
missionary subjects. send few of
them to this convention. Huntington
extends a warm hand of greeting to
all visitors and delegates to this
event.

Some Odd Words.

"Topsy turvy'-when things are
in confusion, they are said to be
topsy turvy, an expression derived
from the way in which turf for fuel
is placed to dry on its being cut.
The surface Of the ground is pared
off with the heath growing upon it,
and the heath is turned downward
and left some days in that state
that the earth may get dry before it
Is carried away. 1t means, there
fore, really stop side turf way"
"Coxcomb" is corruption of
cocks comb, which is considered as
an unnecessary part and is always
cut off from game birds and only
suffered to grow on those of the
barnyard breed; hence coxcomb is a
ridiculous fellow, who pays more at
tention to decoration of his person
than to the improvement Of his
mind.
''Hurly burly" denotes confusion
or tumult and is said to owe its orr
gin to two neighboring families.
Hurleigh and Burleigh. who filed
their part of the country with con-
test of violence.

VIII Not Raise 4 Dollar

One of the surprising features OF
the Laymen's Missionary Movement
to many is the fact that they do not
attempt to directly raise a mission
fund. The purpose of the Hunting.
ton Convention, which convenes on
the 26th inst, is not to raise money
for missions. but to raise a mission.
airy spirit that will produce an
increase in missionary endeayor
through the regular denomination
channels. They are sowing the
seed Of nationwide campaign
to be reaped by the various
churches OF all denominations in the
United States. Worldwide missions
is the theme, and to civilize and
Christianize those savage and semi
barbarous people who, through IN
creased trade relations and transpor-
tation facilities, have become in
truth our next door neighbors. Ifyou
want to catch the real spirit Of mis-
sions send in your application to the
Huntington headquarters for a seat in
the convention.

calls FOR united prayer and service.
Pray for the meeting as well as for
the success OF the entire movement.
Rally around the standard OF the
King Of Kings. Volunteer your SER
vices to your pastor for yoar local
work. and above all assist in securing
adequate representation from your
church and your entire community at
the convention.
Many Prominent men VIII Speak.
A program of exceptional interest
is in preparation and the convention
will be addressed by men OF national
prominence in business as well as
church circles. Many have already

jects to be considered are: What Is
Americas Share In the Evangeliza-
ton Of the World? What Part Have
Men In It? How Is It to Be Done?"
The convention will open on We'd
nesday evening, January 26th, with a
supper, and will continue through the

What "He,s a Rriekr M.,n.

The common phrase Hes a
brick" IS first found in Plutarch.
The expression implies any form of
admiration. The Spartans, quick
witted and noted for their repartee,
were early trained in both schools.
They were men of few words and
fewer laws and embodied in short
phrases their admiration, dislike or
appreciation. Lycurgus was not
only a man OF few words, but quick
action. On being asked, Should
Sparta be inclosed?" an invasion of
the enemy being expected during
the time of war, he replied, "a city
is well fortified which has a wall Of
men instead of brick"
