CHRISTIAN WORKERS
ARE IN CONFERENCE

Mortified, Mass, Aug. 4.-For near
ly a generation the National General
Conference of Christian Workers,
founded by the late Dwight L. Moody,
the evangelist, has convened annually
at Mortified for Bible study, prayer
and study, and the 1911 session, open
ed today, lacks nothing in attendance
and enthusiasm when compared with
its predecessors. Men and women
from all over the United States are
here and will remain until Aug. 20,
the closing day of the conferences.
The present session is the twenty
ninth of the series.
Some of the leaders in Christian
thought and work from both England
and America will deliver sermons and
addresses. In calling the meeting, W.

GREAT RESULTS
Are OBTAINED
Sixteen Hundred People Successfully
Treated For Hookworm In
Lamar County.

At cost of about 500 to the coun-
ty, there has been treated in Lamar
county during the past six weeks
1900 people for the hookworm disease.
This work has been in charge Of DR..
R. N. Whitfield, assistant director of
public health and sanitation. The
physicians of that county deserve the
praise of their people for the unset
fish assistance they have rendered DR..
Whitfield in this great work. Some
of them have even requested a portion
of the medicine, and are now dispens-
ing it free to the people who could
not we'll be reached at the regular
dispensaries.
This work has not only been pro-
ductive of more strength and better
health, but the great results b'ained
has almost entirely obliterated from
the minds of the people in that coun-
ty any skepticism in regard to the
disease. Large numbers doubted the
ElOpOSlllOil, dAu lOi lcdllLt lIdl
there was so much truth in the state
ments that they had been hearing in
reference to the prevalence and de-
vastation of the hookworm pest
These doubters, however, have been
fully convinced by the results shown
in cases treated from their midst.
The manner of conducting the treat
ment in Lamar county after the board
of supervisors made their appropria-
ton, was to select five places in the
county as dispensing stations, and to
these points DR.. Whitfield went each
week for a period Of six weeks. Sew
eral times over a hundred people came
for treatment in a single day. Nearly
every person treated could feel
change for the better in their systems
In less than a week after taking the
treatment. Some children gained over
ten pounds in a months time. It is
safe to estimate that in Lamar coun-
ty in three months time there will be
among the people treated total gain
of 5000 pounds of flesh and blood.
Some Points About Hookworm Disease

in the pine BELTS heavily infected
with the disease; and it can be found
to a great extent in other portions of
the State. 1t is prevalent in loose
sandy soil, because this kind of soil
is favorable for the Matching of the
parasites. The eggs are passed from
infected people in large numbers, and
after Matching, the young parasites
may remain in the soil under favorable
conditions for several months. They
are more active when the soil is damp,
and for this reason the ground Itch
is more common in wet weather, for
the hookworm enters the body most
generally through the feet. They may
however, be swallowed, or may enter
through the skin at any point of the
body. After entering the body they
will live or 10 years unless molested
They fasten themselves to the lining
of the bowels, and sap blood from
their victim, as we'll as emitting ;
poison which circulates through tn,
blood. The results are a pale, sallov
complexion, lack of energy, and usual
ly bad health.
Untold benefits will be derived from
the eradication of the hookworm from
the South.

R. Moody said, in part;

k. Moody SAID, In part:
"The present generation is char
acterized by a spirit of unrest. In this
respect the church itself is not ex-
empt. Dissatisfaction is widely felt
as to old methods and statements of
truth. Christians are challenged to
demonstrate the present sufficiency
of the Gospel they proclaim. This
challenge, though expressed in differ
ent terms, is none the less general.
But passing years have in no sense
changed the exceeding sinfulness Of
sin. Today, no less than in previous
time, the carnal mind is enmity
against God and the need Of redemp-
ton is as great as ever. Thus 1t is
that in false philosophers and mater
ialism the world is reaching out for
that rest of spirit that God alone can
give. A burden of responsibility rests
upon the church to bring the message
of peace, through reconciliation, to
this day and generation"

be called at the beginning, took its

consistently subordinated himself to

against the change. It was not until
Remington won his way to the legis-
lature that the protest ceased to make
itself heard.
The friendship, as those who could
observe closely at last came to recog-
nize it to their utter mystification,

been in a fine old house standing in a

it as a speculation, but, finding no i'm

and his charges into it, much to the
outward pride and inward perturba-
