A CHURCH FOR CHILDREN.

Methodist Young Folk In Columbia,
Mo-, Have Services of Their Own.
The Columbia (Mo.) Junior Meth
odist church is not the Sunday school
of that denomination. It is sep
arate and distinct church. made up
of the little folks in Columbia whose
folks are Methodists.
They meet every Sunday morning at
the same time that the grownups.
their fathers and mothers, are partici-
pating in church services upstairs.
Their auditorium is the basement of
the church. and they have their pas
tor. their choir and their church du-
ties, just the same as their elders. The
congregation is by no means small
one either. as it averages about sew
enty each Sunday.
1t is the only juvenile church, SO far
as known, in the United States. 1t
was organized by the Rev. 9. M. Aker,
pastor of the Methodist church.
1t is in charge of his brother, G. C.
Aker, a student in the University Of
Missouri, who is fitting himself for the
ministry. Mr.. Aker chooses text
from the Bible and breaches SER
mon to the little ones in simple Ian
guage.

A diver long in Cupid's main,

For boys alone they're meet.

An ass, who's no attractions got
Except mere length of limb

ROOSEVELT LAUDS MISSIONS.
Pleads For United Efforts In Letter to
World Missionary Conference.

World Missionary Conference.
Enthusiasm was aroused at one Of
the sessions of the world missionary
conference held in Edinburgh by the
reading of letter from Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt in which he expressed
his sympathy with the world mission
movement The letter, which was adj
dressed to Silas McBee, an American
delegate, was in part as follows:
your conference represents the
practical effort to apply the teachings
of the gospel to what the epistle of
Jude calls the common salvation An
infinite amount of work remains to be
done before we can regard ourselves
as being even within measurable dis
lance Of the desired goal, an infinite
amount at home in the dark places
which too often closely surround the
brightest centers Of light and an inf
mite amount abroad in those dark
places which too often closely sur
round the brightest centers Of light
and an infinite amount abroad in those
dark places Of the earth where black
ness is as yet unrelieyed by any light
when such is the high purpose to
which you have dedicated yourselves
it is eminently fitting that your invita-
ton should have gone to all Christian
churches in all lands. I am sure that
there will be general and, hope,
universal response. In missionary
work, above all other kinds Of Chris
tan work, it is imperative to remem-
Der that divided Christendom can
only imperfectly bear witness to the
essential unity of Christianity. l be-
lieve that without compromise Of be-
lief, without loss Of the positive good
contained in the recognition Of dversi-
ties Of gifts and differences Of admin
istration, the Christian churches may
yet find way to cordial cooperation
and friendship as regards the great
underlying essentials upon which as
foundation all Christian churches are
built"

Society Children OH Motion Films

(F'rom the New York Press.)
Society women who are accustomed
to spend from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year for photographs of themselves
and their children have seized on a
new phase of this idea. They are
taking to motion pictures and the
phonOgraph. They want motion pic
lures of their children at play or at
parties, SO they may have them in
after years just as they have their
children photographed several times
a year to keep until the children are
grown up. Likewise they are keep
ing records Of the voices of the chill
dren by phonograph. When the time
arrives that both the motion pictures
and the phonograph can be made to
work Simultaneously the value of the
picture and auditory records will be
increased. The idea Of society wO
men at present is to take moving pic
them at Christmas time or on other
occasions when the members Of the
family are gathered together. The
fad, of course, is somewhat expensive
but society women have taken to it,
cause it is purely a family affair.

DEATH FROM OLD STAB
Negro Youth Dies From Wound In.
ficted Upon Him Several Months
Ago.

A peculiar death occurred yester-
day morning at Rocky Bluff, when
Ben Franklin Martin, a negro youth,
died from the effects of a stab wound
inflicted upon him last March by
Joe David Leonard, another negro
boy.
The wound was inflicted in Mar
tins head with a knife, and had
caused him trouble several times
since the affair happened; so that
when his death occurred on yester-
day, coroner Flowers held an inquest
over his remains. the result being
that the jury placed the blame for
his death upon Joe Leonard
From the evidence brought out at
the inquest, it seems that the two
negro boys got into a quarrel at a
church at which they had gone to
practice for Easter. They parted in
anger, and the next day while they
were at the house of Robert Yates,
colored, became involved in another
quarrel. This time they came to
blows, Leonard finally stabbing Mar
tin in the head with a pocket knife,
the blade breaking off in Martins
head. One of Robert Yates sons
witnessed the fight, and alarmed his
father by running into the house
asking for a pair Of pinchers with
which to pull out the blade. Yates
testified at the inquest, that he then
ran out and attempted to pull out
the. blade himself from Martins
head, but failed. He Immediately
carried Martin to DR.. Maxwell, and
had the blade removed from the
boys skull.
The wound continued to trouble
Martin at times, however, and an
abscess forming on his head, and an
taken to DR.. Moods infrmary, where
a part Of his brain had to be taken
out.
DIR. c. ]. Lennon, who examined
at the inquest that, in his opinion.
death was due primarily to an alb
sess on the brain, caused by a stab
wound. produced by knife.
After hearing the evidence the
coroner's jury found that ben
FRANKLIN Martin came to his death
by Knife wound in his head in
ficted by Joe David Leonard. The
members of the jury were H. T.
Turner, q. Scarborough, N. A. Spann.
w. c. Hudson. s. H. Hudson, Tony
Colcough, John Mack, Jas. Mack w.
M. Holmes, j. H. DuRant, J. E.

Leonard the negro who did the
stabbing, has been arrested and
lodged in Jail. He is about 16 years
Of age.
