The Doth. annual session of the
Louisville Conference of the Nj. +.
Church, South, will convene with
Greenville church on Wednesday,
Sept. 81, and probably continue
until Monday following. This will
be the third time that this city
has entertained tins notable body of
ministers and laymen, and will be
the greatest undertaking that has
fallen to our lot, as it is estimated
there will be at least 500 delegates,
ministers, missionaries and visitors
here for the full time. Previously
we have had this body Oct. ; S,
1855; Sept. 10 p 1885. Central
City entertained the conference
Sept. 26-Oct. /, 1900, making four
times that Muhlenberg has been
honored by the assemblage, and
much more than its proportion IN
the 90 meetings that Will have been
held, as there are 4S counties within
the bounds. Bishop Mccoy will
preside here, and is one or the lead
ing men of the whole Southern
church. This meeting, ii is antic-
ipated, will be the most important
ever held by the body.

And Citizen, Rev. G. P. JeffireS, Dies
Suddenly Monday Morning.

Rev G. F. Jefires, in his 10Th.
year, died at IS o'clock Monday
morning at the home OF his daughter,
Mrs. w. ID. Blackwell, on North
Main street. His death was a shock
TO his many friends, as he was
thought to have recovered from an
attack of the grip, and was able to
be up on the Saturday previous.
Pneumonia developed Sunday, and
it was soon known to his doctors
and nurse that he was in a critical
condition. Although sturdy for one
of his age, he was unable to combat
his new complication, and the end
soon came. lie was conscious un-
Ill few moments before death re-
lieved his sufferings, and recognized
and spoke to several friends who
came 10 see him. There were few
better known men in Muhlenberg,
and he had strong friends IN all who
knew him. For more than forty
years he had been in the active min
istry, and had held various charges
in the Methodist church in this and
adjoining counties. He was born
and reared in Big Cllfty, Grayson
county, where he lived until 1902,
when he moved to Central City, and
since 1890 he has resided here. He
had packed his library and other
personal effects, and intended in a
few days to remove to his old home
in Grayson county, and while at the
home of his daughter was stricken
with lagrippe. Surviving him are
the following children: Mr.. VIM. Z.
Iettires, Big Clifty, Messrs. \. ID.

There is one kind of food

Oats are the most nutritious

in fats, organic phosphorus and

Colorado Grant, owner of a small

His experiments prove that
good oatmeal such as Quaker
Oats not only furnishes the best
food for the human being, but
eating it strengthens and en-
larges the thyroid gland-this
gland is intimately connected
with the nourishing processes
of the body.
In conclusion he says
1T seems probable therefore
that the bulk and brawniness of
the Northerners (meaning the
SCOTCH has been in some
measure due to the stimulation
of the thyroid gland by oatmeal
porridge in childhood. "
The Scotch eat Quaker Oats

John Fisk on Immortality.

The faith in immortal life is the
great poetic achievement Of the hu-
man mind.
Belief in immortality is the one
thing that makes this world habita-
BILE for beings constructed like our
selves.
The destruction of the sublime
conception of Immortality would be
like depriving a planet Of its atmos-
phere.
The crude primeval ghost world
is always closely associated with the
ethical side of life; out of this asso-
citation have grown some of the most
colossal governing agencies b. which
the development of human society
has been Influenced.
The fact that primitive man mis-
stated his relation to the Unseen
World in nowise initiates against
the truth of his assumption that such
world exists. Primitive Iheorizing
is sue to be faulty { a primitive in
sunct is likely to be true)
The belief in future life is CO.
eval with the beginnings of the hu-
man race, in the history of evolu-
ton.
The belief in a future life is one
of the dlfferential attributes Of hu-
manity.
Man is not only the animal that
possesses articulate speech and the
power of reasoning: be is the only
creature who expects to survive the
event of physical death.
The Wholesale skepticism which
is directed against whatever exhists
or has enlisted in the shape of an
ancient belief; that violent outbreak
of materialistic atheism of the eight
eenth century, is surely one of the
most mournful episodes in the his
tory of human thought.
We yet sometimes are en- ertsined
by belated eighteenth century ma.
turalist who is fully persuaded that
his denial Of human inn o-tality is
an inevitable corol r. lrjm the
doctriGc of eyolulinn.
The more things we try to explain
the better we realize that we live IN
a world of unexplained residua.
Those who seek TO prove anything
by the evidence of disembodied d
spiri's who hold common catic II
with certain mediums are not liAel
to make much impression upon
minds trained IN investigation.
