BAPT|STS ABANDON
HOME MISSIONS
Rev. F. T. Galpin Makes Report To
Pastors on Northern Convention
N In Philadelphia.

The Baptist ministers of the city
held their first regular weekly confer
ence OF the season In the Woodward
ave. Baptist church, Monday morning.
The topic for discussion was the
Northern Baptist convention, held In
Philadelphia, last summer, and num-
Der OF the local Baptist ciergymen
who attended gave short addresses.
In the course OF his remarks, the
Rev Frederick Toyar Galpin, OF the
First Baptist church. said that he re-
greeted to learn In the convention that
the Baptists had practically thrown
up the sponge" 80 far as their home
mission efforts were concerned. The
reports showed that the denomination
was spending most OF Its missionary
efforts and money on San Salvador.
which. Mr.. Galpin said. was really In
the foreign field. He thought that the
Baptist church, should change Its plans
by giving more attention to home mis-
sions and the country chufch. He
made a plea for every Baptist clergy
man TO attend the conventions. be-
cause OF the inspiration they Afforded.
How would you suggest the ex-
penses of the clergyman who ID living
on small salary might be paidT"
asked the Rev. H. 8. Bullock. secre-
tary OF the conference.
Mr.. Galpin replied that he didn't see
any reason why every Baptist min
lister, no matter how small his salary
might be, could not attend the con-
vention at his own expense. He said
he noticed that the most OF them were
able to go to Niagara Falls and other
places on vacations, and he thought
they could very well AFFORD to go to
the conventions.
II lived on q small salary myself at
one time" said Mr.. Galpin, and got
along better than am doing now with
a bigger salary. am glad to say.
however, that my church pays half OF
my convention expenses.
The Revs c. G. Morse and Maurice
p. Fixes and others also gave impress
sions of the convention.
Mr.. Galpin said that II was impossl-
BILE to say just now what the prospects
were for Detroit's getting the North
ern Baptist convention for 1918. The
selection was usually made at later
date. he explained.
On recommendation Of Mr.. Galpin.
the Baptists will cooperate with the
other churches in the holding OF pray
err services for men and boys on Oct.
is In connection with the Men and
Religion Forward Movement Mr..
Fixes made a strong appeal for the
Baptist ministers to make the most
of the opportunity presented them by
the men and Religion Forward Move
ment He said Il was an undertaking
that the Baptists could not afford to
slight.
! "As we SOW In this matter, SO
shall we reap" he said.

Mayor Thompson. Monday morning.
announced the results OF three tests

which he had made at the request OF
interested taxpayers. The first test,
made several weeks ago, was OF block
assigned to Avery-ave. This showed
that the proportion of creosote In the
blocks was 10 per cent short. Other
samples were then taken from Or.
leans-st. and Clinton-st. Some OF
these were shipped to Pittsburgh, to
tested by the Pittsburgh Testing
...Doratory, and tho others were turn.
ed over to the Detroit Testing la.
atory, which made the first test. In
both places the blocks were found
fully up to specifications.
The mayor had no comment to
make on the results of the tests,
which. he said. spoke for themselves.
The brick investigating committee
of the Board of Commerce made a
tour of the city Monday TO In

cations are that the committees re-
port will be a very interesting as
well as very voluminous document.
Edwin 8. George, a member OF the
committee, returned from a trip TO
Cleveland and other cities. where he
looked over some OF the pavements.
While he il not inclined to talk for
publication at this time. he admits
that Detroit is not the only city In the
country where there are poor pave
ments, which applies to brick as well

SOIL SHIRT FRONT
Brother Will Allen Has Grievance
Against Marshal A::ry's Equine
Case in Court.

When Brother Will Aliens immacu-
late person got all mussed up by the
snwashed hoofs of Marshal Avery's
horse. there followed a series OF com
plications that still remains to be
ironed out. Judge Phelan did his
best TO adjust matters, Monday morn
ing, but the task proved too great
and the matter had to be adjourned
until Oct. 3.
Recently. Brother Allen was walk
ing up Woodward-ave., eye straight
ahead and unmindful OF danger. Sud
denly and without warning. the Avery
equine leaped from the street near
the Majestic corner and planted his
front feet full upon the Allen shirt
bosom, which same had previously
been spotlessly white.
So grieved was Mr.. Allen by this
display of equestrian rudeness that
he took the matter into court Had
he been present when the Avery case
was called, a lot OF embarrassment
might have been saved. But some
thing detained him. Avery was not
present either and when the case was
called, a rather severe woman came
before the court and announced some
what acridiy that she WAS there 10

The Judge said that Mr.. Avery
ought to be present in person and
Court Oficer Noonan announced that
he had served the summons upon
Avery's wife.
His wife," echoed the woman, In
amazement and Indignantly, his
wife! Why, he has no wife. I'm the
lady upon whom the summons was
served and I'm his mother"
Judge Phelan tried to impress up
on. her that she should feel compi'
mented and not indignant at being
taken for the young mans wife, pul
even this delicate touch did not
soothe her ruffled feelings,
There followed a mad search for
Brother Allen, but he could not DC
found. The case was put over ana
about an hour later, Evangelist Allen
strolled into the courtroom. he was
considerably put out because the
case had already been called and ne

of animal and ought not to be per

there was nothing further to DO ABOUT
