History OF Organization OF Northern
baptist Convention.
"The Baptists said we ought to
have a voice in the distribution of
that money. Out of that has come
the Northern Baptist Convention,
representing the Baptists of the
Northern states. It's a representa-
tive delegated body. These three
societies now report to the conven-
tion as Boards simply We say to
the Home Mission society, here is a
certain amount of money and you
must carry on your work with that
money That is a convention with
representation. We the people are
transacting the missionary work of
our great denomination. For the
first time in our history we have
been Baptistic.' Now we are con-
trolling the situation and doing the
business in a Baptist way. We are
taxing ourselves. A finance COM
mittee appointed by the Northern
Baptist Convention looks over the
entire situation, and says Pennsylva-
MIA ought to dc so much for Home
and Foreign work, and they make out
their apportionment. They send
their apportionment down to the FL
nance committee in Pennsylvania,
and we apportion it among our
churches.

Doctor Kunkel's "Three IDEAS"
Rev. DR.. Edward C. Kunkel, pas
tor of the First Baptist church,
Wilkes-Barre, said:
There are three great big ideas
we must lodge in the minds of the
people of our churches. First,
Christ; second, the church; third, the
world. When we get it lodged in our
churches who Christ is and what he
stands for, it will revolutionize our
people. He is the greatest person.
ality, with the most sublime pro-
gram the world ever saw.
Secondly, The church. We have
been thinking of ourselves as little
Independent bodies. The church is
infinitely more than my church, your
church or a company of churches.
The biggest institution in the world
is the church of Jesus Christ
THE trouble with many Christian
people is that they haven't seen the
world in their vision. The great
world is our parish. We have been
afraid to put before the people
great big propositions. Church
squabbles, divisions and chickering's
vanish when you get the people AVA
kened to large interests"
DR.. Kunkle is a man of magnetic
personality, who has charge of one of
the largest Baptist churches in the
State. He does not affect clerical
dress, and emphasizes his points with
right-hand gestures.
Rev. Harmon On Increased Eff
ciency."
Rev. H. S. Harmon, of Montrose,
was introduced as "the man who
came from a place way up in the
air, 1000 feet above the sea level.
He comes with the inspiration of the
mountain-top." He thought the
best thing in church-work was to get
others to do the work, instead of do
ing all the work yourself. He said:
1--WE must increase the efficiency of
the individual members. The united
strength of the church will be in
creased. Every church Is no strong
er than the united strength of it's
membership. If we could only in
clude larger number of our mem
bers as efficient church-workers, we
would be increasing the efficiency of
the church. The pastor is not simply
the minister to the people. He is
an overseer and as such he should be
held responsible for the number of
efficient workers he develops. There
should not be such a division as
payers" and prayers" RESPONSE
bility ought to be brought back upon
individual members.
Successful Baraca Glass.
1--WE organized a class for men re-
Gently, in Montrose, to develop
Christian workers; men who can be
sent out to take charge of services,
and to be teachers in Sunday schools.
We held a special Baraca service one
Sunday night. The class increased
in membership from Is to 80 with
in six months"

Optimism Is now the prevailing note

Condemned Mans Iron Nerve Gave
Way When Told Last Hope Of Saw

Henry Clay Beattie. Jr, must die
In the electric chair in the state peni-
tentiary in Richmond. Va, on Friday.
Nov. "a, for the murder OF his wife,
Louise Owen Beattie, on July Is last.
The last hope Of the condemned
man of escaping this penalty for his
crime or OF even winning a short re-
spite, perished when Governor Mann
refused to interfere In any way In the
case.
II had not been expected that he
would commute Beatties sentence TO
life Imprisonment. but .he young
mans friends had hoped more time
would be granted in which to renew
their pleas for clemency.
What purports to be an affidavit
signed by Paul d. Beattie. cousin
OF the murderer. and the witness on
whose evidence the jury largely based
It's verdict OF guilty, figured in the eff
tort to save the prisoner.
In this affidavit. which Paul Beat

said that Henry Clay Beattie. Jr.,
made no confession to him subsequent

In a signed statement Governor
Mann said in part:
IL followed this case during the
trial. and. as its horrible facts were
developed. regretted that a crime 50
cruel and malicious should have oc.
Cured within the confines OF this
state. That Beattie is guilty Of the
wilful, deliberate and cruel murder of
his young wife | have not the slight
est doubt.
ITO grant respite In so plain a
case would be to set a precedent,
would be TO temporize with the law
and to encourage appeals to the SUI
preme court with the sole purpose of
gaining time. believe the best way TO
prevent such crimes as this is to
punish them adequately. certainly,
speedily. Therefore the judgment OF
the circuit court OF Chesterfield will
be carried into effect without inter.
terence from me"

in the death cell of the penitentiary
that the governor had refused all aid.

AMERICAN TROOPS
WILL GO TO CHINA
Regiment to Guard Railway Be-
tween Pekln and Sea.
IS NOT INTERVENTION

United States viii Not Take Sides In
Struggle, But Exert It's Right Under
the Boxer Treaty.
The state department at Washing
ton has practically decided to send a
regiment OF United States troops from
Manila to Chinwingtao. seaport in
China about $50 miles from Pekin, ON
the Gulf of Pechili.
The purpose is to perform an in.
tenational duty under the Boxer
treaty in keeping open the line OF
communication between Pekin and the
sea.
II was said at the state department
that request ~for the troops has not
yet been made on the war depart
ment, but II was momentarily expect
ed. The officials were careful to make
II appear that the dispatch Of these
troops to China would be absolutely
without any political meaning and the
movement was not to be construed as
Intervention.
Under the treaty which terminated
the Boxer troubles. the United States.
with other powers. was accorded the
privilege of maintaining a military
force along the line OF railway be.
tween Pekin and the sea In order to
guard against such an event as the
siege of the legations during the
Boxer uprising.
Beyond the maintenance of ma
rine guard of 100 men (only recently
and temporarily increased to 200). the
United States has never availed itself
of this permission. and 1t has fallen
TO the lot Of other nations-principally
Great Britain. France and Japan-to
maintain small garrsons along the
line of the road from Tien Tsin to
Pekin. II Is felt that II is now incum.
bent upon the United States to per.
fern its part of this duty, hence the
decision to employ some troops to
supplement the marine guard.
The fact that the force to be dis.
uatched will be limited TO one regi.
ment Is in itself an indication that
there is no intention OH the part OF
the United States government OF in.
dnlging in any large military demon.
stration In China, or of taking sides
