The SECRET OF
SPIRITUAL GROWTH
Fine Talk on This Topic By
Mr.. M'CORkGy

The quiet hour talks which Mr.. ].
H. McConkey has been giving at the
Presbyterian church have proven in
tensely interesting to those who have
been so fortunate as to hear them, and
the large congregation which heard
the message Tuesday night attested the
value which the people of Americas
have placed upon these services.
Mr. McConkey's subject was taken
from John, 1879, The Pastured
Sheep" or The Secrets of Spiritual
Growth"
The gifted speaker commenced his
remarks by saying that the birth of a
babe in home was always the oc-
casion of great joy and regarded as a
blessing, but the lack of development
or growth ina babe, could but be n
very great calamity So, with that
soul which is born into the kingdom
of God, the failure to grow in grace
would obviously be a much greater
calamity. How to grow from spirit
ual babyhood to spiritual manhood
and womanhood, was directed by
Christ himself who said, 81 am the
door, by me if any man enter in, he
shall be saved and shall go in and
out and shall find pasture" BY go
ing in the speaker explained was
meant prayer Going in to communion
with the Lord, to be filled with the
food of the spirit, which is spiritual
life-necessary to spiritual growth and
strength. Going in, he explained, was
necessary to preserve the spiritual
ifc-the cares and trials and conse-
quen sins of the world, had always
had tendency ii choks the spiritual
growth, and one must get away from
the world and go into sweet commun-
ion with God to escape 50 great ca
lamity. BY going out was meant
service-all kinds of service, which
included bringing people to repent
ance and to Christ, distributing the
published messages to the world from
the servants of Christ, talking for
Christ, visiting the needy and the af-
ficted. In other words, doing all IN
ones power for the upbuilding of the
kingdom.
The speaker gave many Illustrations
in support of his argument, and on the
whole his message was a rare spiritual
treat.
Mr. MrConkey will speak again on
Friday evening at 1880 o'clock at the
Presbyterian church, and again on
Sunday morning.

HAS BLUSHING
ART been LOST?
Minister Says That DGmuFG-
ness Is Gone

Boston, March S.-That the art Of
blushing, woman's most demure but
most fascinating attribute, has been
lost is the most recent and sensational
assertion of Rev. Herbert s. Johnson,
pastor of the Warren Avenue Baptist
church.
The Rev. Mr.. Johnson says the rea-
son woman has lost the ability to suf-
fuse with bushes is because of the
constant near-association of men and
women entailed by the rush of modern
life.
industrial conditions have driven
the bushes from the faces of our
girls, says Mr.. Johnson. The con-
slant association with men in Offices,
stores and factories, has made girls
self-possessed. Under ordinary cir
cumstances, the ordinary girl finds
once she goes into business that CO.
ouetry is not a part of her duties.
again the statement is made that
81 per cent. of the maidens who re-
ceive a proposal of marriage run
away to tell their friends What is an
engagement for, if one cannot tell
about it? Half the fun and excite
ment of getting married would be left
out if one could not be congratulated
and given parties an dtalked about.
No conditions ever changed or ever
will change womans' delight in telling
secret"

AFTER M0TORBoAT TROPHY.
Two English Challenges For Cup Won
by the Dixie Iii.

by the Dixie III.
The next holder of the British inter
national motorboat trophy, now held
in this country, will be decided by
races in Huntington harbor, New York,
Aug. "a, 25 and 26. This announce
ment was made recently by Secretary
Morley of the Motorboat Club Of
America shortly after he had received
through the mails the formal chal-
lenges of the Royal Motor Yacht Club
Of England and the British Motorboat
club for the trophy. Acceptances Of
the challenges have been forwarded
to England.
1t is expected that not less than
three boats will be built here to de-
fend the trophy won last summer by
the Dixie III. At least two fast craft,
one of them possibly a new boat built
by the Duke of Westminster, are eX-
pected to be sent here to compete for
the international honor.

February Dry Month"; Wealth

No relief from the dry spell seems
to be in sight. 1t was thought that
yesterday would surely bring some
showers to the relief of the thirsty
land, but none came. The shortage in
precipitation since January opened is
probably five or six inches, and
since last July the deficiency is much
greater, of course Rain is needed ali
over Georgia at this time land more

FARMER INSANE
Over the Schenk Trial Thinks
Wife is Trying to
Poison Him.

ST. GAINESVILLE. O., Jan. 25--
The sensational schenk poisoning
case has driven Belmont county cit
lien crazy. Commodore Wilkes 10
years old, farmer was found to Dc
isane following a hearing before
Judge Nichols in the Belmont county
probate court. Wilkes had been
greatly Interested in the schenk case
at Wheeling and spent much time
since the trial started reading every
account Of the proceedings he could
find. On Saturday he left home in his
bare feet in raging blizzard trying
to get away from his wife, whom he
said was trying to poison him by put
ting sugar Of lead in his coffee.
Wilkes told this to the deputy sherins
who brought him to Jail, after he had
been captured and detained. He was
sent to Columbus.

sAlsltaGSs SboN, D. d. jan. %
Too many churches III ,0ne city with
the consequent heavy financial drain
on cofnmunities was the theme Of the
e z q the Rev. Or, Charles 4.
'EhoEtpson. secretary OF the presbyter-
Ian Hoard OF Foreign Missions, al the
opening session Of the annual mes Il AZ
Of the executive committee Of the!
Federal Council OF the Church Of
Christ in America.
Df Thompson cited New York as a
conspicuous example OF the waste Of
funds on churches. He declared that
The platform OF the Council Was sus.
t1ined by It's economic valne. us apoi-
logetic value and It's spiritual power.
He said:
Tourists looking out OF car win.
ldows In a small town having two
churches inquire. why is this waste OF
the ointment? 1t is a pity to waste
Esointment, but for every case Of waste
fun overlapping out West. Il viii give
you a half dozen of far more wasteful
IoYerIappfng down East.
1T is q pity there should be two
little churches in a town OF three hun
dred each drawing few hundred
ldollars a year from home mission
treasures. But what about churches
crewding. each other in the great cit,
les at an outlay Of a hundred thous-
and dollars a year crowding tllIi they
gradually grow each other Off the
field and then leave 1t churehless and
hopeless
There stands New York in the
bad elninence OF waste Of money be-
yond any other home mission field I
know of. Let no man talk of western
Overlapping so long as the ecclesias-
tical history of Wv York and other
capitals S remembered.
Now for the practical question:
What can Federation do for home
missions? II and it alone can fully
standardize home missions. 1t is for
federation to climb to the top Of the
world, to see and interpret the In
terplay of moral and spiritual forces.
It ought to be a spiritual clearing
house whence values are distributed,
and standards arc erected.
AS to home missions. federation
should be able to say how ii is related
TO the city, to kindred reforms, to
world PROBLEMS and to international
policies. In a word what part does Il
play in Gods program fof this world?
And then what can home missions
do for federation? Terseiy home
missions must accept to the full the
responsibility imposed by the larger
vicw and the wider connections. II
must live UP to its standard value and
its responsibility must be local MS
we'll as large. Home mission fields
must take local responsibility for fed
Grafton ideals. Federation at the top
is q Utopian dream without federation
at the bottom"
