BAPTIST CHURCHES.

American Baptists send many hundreds
Of thousands of dollars into India. China,
and other foreign lands. To ascertain
how it has been used, and learn how
future hundreds of thousands can be
even more wisely used, are the objects
Of a deputation consisting Of the Rev.
DR.. Thomas S. Barbour and Prof A. w.
Anthony, who have now reached China
on their way eastward. Conferences
with workers are held in great numbers.
not forgetting the native worker who
may bring complaints. Property, courses
of study, field organizations. mission
autonomy, and all like mattres have thus
far been gone into with thoroughness.
Some new recommendations have already
been made, among them that the wo-
mems boards shall have representation
in the field committees. and more wilt
be made upon the return Of the deputa-
tion. The Baptist Foreign Society. which
sent out the deputation. declares its am
bition to administer its work upon the
highest American business standards.
Fifth Baptist Church was the scene Of
a delightful meeting Monday night under
the auspices of the Mems League Of that
church. Congressman Roddenberry con-
tributed to the entertainment Of the one
hundred men after the banquet.
Friday, January q, the adult class,
taught by Judge J. J. Darlington. gives a
sock social which promises to be a
success. rr
Sunday night Pastor Briggs breaches
on ''The church with the hobble skirt. :"
Fifth Baptist does not appear to be him
dered by hobbies OF any sort, and
there Is quite little curiosity as to
just what DR.. Briggs will bring out of
this unusual topic.
At q recent quarterly business meet
ing Of the Second Baptist. the reports
rendered by the various ohicers and
committees showed that progress had
marked the three months. Omcefs were

WITH THE DISCIPLES.

Four Disciples Of Christ organizations.
the American Christian, the Foreign. the
Brotherhood, and the Benevolent, in an
all-round campaign. have held confer
ences in about twenty cities within the
past fortnight or a little longer, and will
hold such in fifteen to twenty more.
Future conferences. all ending by Febru-
ary 10, will be held in Kansas City,
Omaha, st. Louis. and Topeka among
others. The aims are to give systematic
and complete information about the va
ried work Of the denomination at home
and abroad. and to do it in the shortest
appeal especially to men, and have Just
been held in Buffalo. Cleveland, Cincin-
natl. Louisville. Detroit, and Chicago.
Under stimulation of their home mis-
sionary organization. Disciples Of Christ
are extending and strengthening their
work in many American centers. A few
years ago the number Of Disciples con-
gregations that were homeless-worship-
ing in temporary quarters and owning
no churches Of their own-ran into the
thousands. The numper n now some
what diminished. In Charleston. s. c.:
Winnipeg. Manitoba; Billings, Mont, and
Moline, ILL.,, among other places, pur.
chases Of sites, erection of new buildings.
stAtipning of ministers, and raising Of
funds are. recent records. A plan much
practiced Is the linking Of one small
church in an established center with q
weak one in . new center. till such time
a the weak one can maintain itself.

anthropologist, according to a Paris con-
Temporary. considers that the human
race will undergo a process OF physical
change. Man In the future, he says, Will
have a bigger head than he has to-day.
This will be accompanied by a modiilca- =
tion of form inasnruch as the head VIII

chvcephalate, or short headed man. will
dominate. mt least az far as white races
are concerned; while. on the other hand,
among the yellow peoples the dolicho-
cephalic or long head will be the mark
.sigfior Enrico Morselli considers that
as the human head develops the other
organs will undergo a process OF atrophy
Man In the future will have only twenty
eight teeth Possibly he VIII have fewer
fingers, and the little toe Is certainly
condemned To disappear. The arms viii
be shorter, and internally there VIII he

MURDER?

Illustrated by Charlotte Weber-Dtzler.
l2mo, DID, $40. Doubleday. Page d GO.
The pistol shot that ends the life or
LADY Hereward in THE Vanity Box IS
beautifully stage managed. She appears
in the first {, qpter, by the side OF her
handsome hus and. In an old English
country house. Then we see her against
q sylvan background as the two go Walk
ing home together through the wood. Be
fore nightfall the lady lies dead VINO
fred the shot that killed her? Ana
vbere does the "vanity box" come in?
The trinket is OF course. helpful in due
time as q clew, but il Is long Whiie
before it turns up. so long that you won
der why il should have given the tue
to Miss Stuyvesant's book In the IN
+,rval suspicion naturally falls upon the
man Won arc least disposed to regard as
ruilty. for beneath all the evidence that
niles I'D against him there lies, vaguely
enough. something that testlnes 10
,cundnoss of character. Character, TO
he sure. does not count for over much IN
,h,s novel At oil events Miss Stuyve-
rant does not DO much with IT. Her
mystery is enough for her and her deal

We wonder how Lady Hereward was
shot. we go on wondering. and we are

before We finS out. Meanwhile. we are
diverted by tale skilfuliy pn' 'ogether
