Dr. Stagg in Favor

Dr Stagg was in favor of the proposi- tion because it was his opinion that the school system of the synod would be ma- terially strengthened by the addition Of as many of the denominational schools as possible He did not commit himself, however, upon the advisabillty of the synod's assuming the indebtedness of the school
 Another of the members present who over was Judge John H. Miller, who spoke most earnestly in behalf of the plan. He made a motion to the effect that the synod take the control of the school in hand and this precipitated further ani mated discussion, both pro and con, which ance of the proposal from the trustees of the military academy.
 Dr. J. T. Plunket favored going slow. He said the synod was already commit ted to raising $100,00o for endowing the college at Anniston and thought it was position just now to assume an addi- tional obligation of S30,000 He favored referring the whole proposition from the Selma Military Institute to the board of trustees of Anniston college, so that the proposition might be thoroughly weighed by that board before final action was taken upon it.
 The following members of the synod were present at the meeting yesterday:

The commissioners referred the matter until it can be looked into. If the commission denies the appll- cation of MT.

OPEN TO MET"

"Open to mel" l heard the thrilling
 prayer
 In deepest dark of night and life, and
 fate. My hearth was black, my house was
 swept and bare:
 My weary day has passed. the hour
 was late. Yet One had come, and had heard no
 sound
 Of foot against the porch, no gar
 ment fold Blown by the hurrying wind. On the
 hard ground
 The frost was iron-and the world was cold, "Open to mel" Nay, I am poor
 said;
 And I have naught to give. nor food
 nor fire'' "Open to me, thou shalt not be afraid {; ask for nothing-nothing l desire Save at thy welcoming word to enter in;
 To share thy poverty-the burden Upon thy weariness. Nor shame nor sin
 Are bolts to bar me out" the low voice prayed. Open to me, My path was set with
 thorns;
 Sorrow and suffering kept pace with me; I walked to anguish in the lonely mOrns;
 toiled through desert wastes. where terrors be; My feet were bare upon the blistering stones:
 The whirling wind beat on my un- clothed breast; walked where misery was. and bit ter mOans;
 open to me, that l may, entering rest" And did I grudging wait. nor turn the
 key.
 Nor lift the bar that held my close shut door? Too Door of heart to share even pow erty? For friendly smile. and healing touch too poor? Had I no crumb to give. no meanes' dole? Could my lips find no faintest ans swering word When. for the ransom of my outcas' soul,

The laymen's Movement.

The general secretary of the Lay mems Missionary Movement, MT. J.
 Campbell White has issued a message
 to the churches of the United States and Canada, calling attention to the
 fact that the movement was five years old on November 18th last. The secretary thinks that the past five
 years have witnessed the most ex-
 tensive and inspiring increase of mis-
 sionary interest during modem times.
 The greatest series of union meetings
 for Christian men ever held in North
 America, has occurred during this
 period. Several hundred thousand
 men have been reached directly. and
 many more indirectly.
 The movement has proved. thinks the secretary, that intelligent en- thusiasm for foreign missions is not hindrance but a help to every other christian activity. With larger offerings for work abroad have come larger gifts for work at home. Thou sands of mems missionary commit tees have been appointed as result of it's agitation. and all of these work for both home and foreign mis- sions. The spirit of Christian unity has had phenomenal development. Great communions are now co-operat- ing to degree supposed to he inn possible five years ago. Far higher standings of christion stewardship are coming to be recognized and adopted. That most expensive of all human effort. prayer. is being or fered with multiplying frequency by laymen.
 The secretary says the movement expects to cooperate with the mis- sionary agencies of the churches un- til the work of world evangelization | is actually accomplished At present there are twenty regular paid secre- taries or the iho'eiheh'' "i" ~
 | Der is steadily increasing. The move ment is not a spasmodic. or temporary sentiment, says the secretary. but the Iexnression of profound and de- termined purpose to rally and hold the men of the churches to the ac- lcomplishment of the greatest task
 ever committed to human agency.

TO CLEAN HAIR RIBBONS.

Wide ribbons that are worn by school girls cost quite a sum in the year, and mothers may be glad to know how to wash them without
 spelling. Put three tablespoOnfuls of honey and three ounces of soft soap into a cup of half gin, half water
 spread the ribbons on a board and with a nail brush scrub them with
 the mixture; do not rub or squeeze
 them. but rinse by dipping up and
 down in clear water several times:
 then hang them over a line to drip and iron between clean cloths by
 holding an iron perfectly still and drawing the ribbons from under it: this prevents the usual stringy, shiny appearance from ironing the usual way For white ribbons use warm water and a white soap; rinse in three clear waters. tepid and a little bluing in the last; hang in the sun
 until partly dried and press between clean muslin with a warm, not hot iron. Powered ribbons will not fade if washed quickly and not allowed to hang long to run the cOlors into each other But lowered ribbons are rare ly liked by school girls; only the plain cOlors

free speech is not involved at all. It's a question of traffic regulation.
 When the fathers" guaranteed the right of free speech, it is hardly pos sible that the conjunction of a soap box and a disciple of the free and unlimited right of conversation came within their purview.

Free Speech.

It is a rather strained construction which those representatives of the Industrial Workers of the World, now operating at Aberdeen, Washington, have put upon the constitutional guarantee of the freedom of speech. The constitution of the United States person shall have the right of free speech, being responsible for the abuse thereof.
 The l. w. W people are laboring under the belief that the constitu- tional guaranty reaches to the emi- hence of a soap box, no matter where the said soap box happens to be located. And that is the place where they have run afoul Of the Aberdeen ordinance.
 To be sure man has the right fo talk from the top of a soaI box. or any other kind of box. if that is the only question involved. But the city council of Aberdeen happens to have adopted a police regulation providing that street speaking shall be indulged in only in certain sections of the city.
