SKETCH OF MOVEMENT
Southern Baptists Endorse laymen's
Missionary Movement in Rich
mond, Va, in 1907.

Southern BaptiStS endorsed the Lay
mems Movement at the meeting of
their convention in Richmond, Va, in
May, 1907. An executive committee OF
nine men was appointed with j. Harry
Tyler as chairman, and Baltimore as
headquarters. After months of search
ing for a secretary the committee Sc
cured the services of J. L. Henderson,
of Virginia, for a part of his time.
The movement has gained consider
able Roadway among Southern Bap-
lists; the different states have COM
mittees more or less active and hum
dreds of association and churches
have committees to press the princi-
pies of this movement. South Caro-
lima has a salaried secretary. Scores
of men are recognizing the obligation
Of stewardship and are heartily giving
ral4ahle time thought and service IS
well as money to the propagation OF
the gospel.
The great convention to be held in
Chattanooga will add new impetus to
this movement among Southern Bap-
lists.
The speakers are to be among the
ablest on the continent President s.
C. Mitchell, of the State University OF
South Carolina; DR.. ]. B. Gambrell, of
Texas; DR.. W. j. Williamson, of st.
Louis; ]. Campbell White, of New

Wake Forest College, N. c.; DR.. H. F.
La Flamme, of New York; DIR. Geo. w.
Truett, of Texas, and Judge Whipple,
of Georgia, are a few of the speakers.

it into ruin; the rain came through the

no complaint At the end Of three

FOR FEDERAL CONTROL /,
OF ALL CORPORATIONS
Bill in the Senate For Indus:
trial Commission.

Washington, Jan. 7.-Senator Bris'
tow, Progressive, of Kansas, introduc
ed a bill for an industrial commission
of seven members to take over thf
work of the bureau of corporatlons
and exercise control over all persons
firms or corporations doing an inter;
state business with gross receipts OF
more than 100000 a year.
The bill, he said, proposed to create
q body similar to the interstate com.
merce commission, to have the same
power over industrial concerns thai
the latter exercises over Transports
ton companies. 1t is in line with the
platform pledges of the Progressive
party.
"The purpose is" he declared, "te
protect the people with some degree
of promptness from the extorsionate
practices of powerful corporations
without destroying the businesses they
represent"
He asserted that the commissior
would not "interfere with big business
operations, if such operations II.
along honest and creditable lines,
and contended that the Standard O.
and tobacco trust cases had demon
strated that the courts were ineffei
tive for the supervision of 'big bus
ness"
The commission would have powe
to investigate the financial condition
business operations and managemeE
of all big interstate concerns. {

4 CAMBRIDGE INQUIRY.
Answered by the Statement of a
Cambridge Resident.

When first the long series of re-
ports Of Cambridge people who
have been relieved by Doans Kid
ney Pills were published in the To-
cal press, great enthusiasm and in
terest were aroused. But Cam
bridge is now inquiring, Glow are
these people keeping today? How
has the benefit they received with
stood the test of timer" For that,
after all, Is the essential test of
cure. On this point doubt can no
longer exist, for after many years
those who have been cured, en-
phatically declare their cures to be
lasting.
Mrs. M. Frazier, PIT Henry St.,
Cambridge. Md, says: II think
very highly of Doan's Kidney Pills.
One of my children was badly trou-
bled by weak kidneys, having little
or no control over the kidney Sc
cretions. I tried everything in this
case that I thought would be of
benefit, but without success, until
.Doan's Kidney Pills were used.
They. acted like magic and in three
weeks had made a cure"
The above statement was given
on May 80, 1911, and during a per-
sonal interview on March 2, 1912,
Mrs. Frazier said: 'The words of
praise I gave for Doan's Kidney
Pills year ago hold good. The cure
they made in my child's case has
been permanent"

RELIGIOUS Center
CHATTANOOGA MERITS THE DIS
TINCTION OF BEING VERY
STRONG IN ITS CHURCHES.
Baptists Occupy High Place Numer-
icaIly-Interchurch Federation Has
Proved to be a Great Success in
This City.

Chattanooga merits easily the dis
tinction of being a religious center.
This is demonstrated not only by the
cordial welcome it always extends to
visiting religious conventions, but by
the activity in church circles locally.
The interchurch federation there has
already proven success, as was
shown recently when the city audi
forum was the scene of service in
the interest of church unity, under the
auspices of the federation.
The Baptists in Chattanooga occupy
high position numerically. There
are in Chattanooga over dozen ac-
tive white Baptist churches and each
Monday morning, following a confer
ence of the ministers of all denomina-
tions in the Y. M. c. A. building, the
Baptist pastors meet in the Sunday
school room of the First Baptist
Church and there discuss the work of
their denomination. The suburban
churches in Chattanooga, as well as
those uptown, are active in promot-
ing the causes for which they stand
All the Baptists of Chattanooga are
unanimous in their anticipation of the
coming laymen's convention and they
are making big preparations to give
their visiting brethren, both ministers
and laymen, a hearty welcome, the
memory of which will last long after
the convention shall have adjourned.
A Chattanooga Baptist welcome,
which is of the highest type, and a
welcome from the members of the 9th
er denominations. born of Christian
Fellowship, will be accorded all dele
gates.
Chattanoogans will open their hearts
to the Baptist hosts who journey that
way February 4, and 6.

MANY fine HOTELS
CHATTANOOGA HAS AMPLE HO-

Hotel Facilities for the 5000 Pastors
and Laymen Expeeted-convention
City Noted for ExceIIence Of its Ho-
tells and its Hospitality to Visitors.

A city noted for its ample hotel &C.
commodations is Chattanooga, Tenn,
which will be thronged with visitors
February 4, and 6, and already the
hotels there are beginning to look for
ward to the occasion, anticipating the
accommodation of many guests. AL
though the attendance upon the con-
vention, it is expected will reach 5000,
including laymen and pastors, all will
be well taken care of in comfortable
manner.
Hotel facilities form a city's chief
asset as far as the travelling public is
concerned. The rapid growth in size
and popularity of Chattanooga had
given rise to an ever-increasing de-
mand for ample hotel accommodations
and this demand has always been sup
piled. Never has it been said of
Chattanooga that it could not care for
all who were guests within its hospi-
table borders The 10000 tourists who
visit the city annually all receive the
best of attention.
The largest hotel in the city is the
Hotel Patten, twelve-story 100000
structure, with over 250 rooms, To-

The Punishment of the Bagno.

In former times the punishment OF
the bagno Oath. one Of the most clev-
erly cruel infections ever devised, was
administered in Venice. where the wa
ter of the lagoons played so prominent
q part In it's penal system. The pun
ishment was as follows: The prisoner
was placed In a vat the sides of which
were slightly in excess Of the average
height of a man. In order to hold in
check the rising tide of a supply of
water which ran into the vat In con-
slant stream the criminal was furnish
ed with a scoop with which to bale
out the water as fast as it came in.
The respite from death by immersion
thus obtained was more or less pro-
longed, according to the powers of en-
durance possessed by the victim. But
imagine the mortal torture. the ex-
hausting and even hideously grotesque
efforts, the incessant and pitiless toll
by night and day, to stave off the dread
moment fast approaching when. over
come by sleep and fatigue, he was un-
able to struggle any longer against his
1ate.

ENJOYS
IN DEADLOCK
Conference Suspended as Turks
viii Not Yield.
NO DATE FOR RESUMPTION
The Turkish Delegates Offered Fur
Their Concessions, But Refused to
Give Up Adrianopie.

London, Jan. 7.-At the peace con-
ference between the delegates of the
Balkan states and Turkey, the Turkish
ENJOYS offered to make further con-
cessions, which were considered by
the Balkan plenipotentiaries sufficient
to prevent the threatened rupture OF
the negotiations.
The peace negotiations will be re-
sumed, but the date Of the next meet
ing was not fixed. The official report
OF the meeting says:
Having examined the new propos-
ais, the Turkish delegates made a re-
ply to the declaration of the allies.
The latter declared the work of the
conference suspended"
The Ottoman delegates presented a
long statement in which they spoke
of settlement, but they offered no i'm
portant concessions. They remained
adamant upon the subject of Adriano-
pie.
The delegates of the allies then ad-
journed to consider the Turkish offer,
and upon returning presented coun-
ter statement, adding that as the
Turks had not met their terms, they
must ask an adjournment without
date. The delegates subsequently en-
phasized the statement that the nego-
nations had not been broken off.
By "suspending" the sittings Of the
peace conference the delegates of the
allies assert they have left the next
move to the Turks. Rechad Pascha,
they said, has the alternative of pre-
senting fresh proposals which shall
follow closely the demands of the Bal
kan League and thus resuming the
conferences, or of adhering to the
Turkish claim for the retention of the
fortress of Adrianople and rupturing
further negotiations.
The conversations between DR.. S.
Daneff, chief of the Bulgarian peace
delegation, and M. Jonescu, the Rou
manian minister of the interior, have
assumed a rather serious character
The Roumanian statesman insists that
Roumania must receive immediate sat
isfaction by the grant of compensation
plOmloCu III lClulh lOl hOA hSueAo ~
during the war.
DIR. S. Daneff in reply repeated the
vague promises already made by him
to the Roumanian government, but M
Jonescu insisted on an explicit answer
and DR.. Daneff thereupon telegraphed
to the Bulgarian government at Sofia
for definite instructions on the sub
ject.
The Turkish delegates are indignant
over the attitude of the European pow
ers They say that when the Turks
are defeated nothing is done to mod
crate their enemies pretensions, but
when the Turks are victorious they
are always prevented by the powers
from reaping the fruits. They cite the
war of 1897, in which Greece was ut
ter1y defeated by Turkey at Domkes
A collective note was sent by the Eu-
ropean powers to the Porte, In which
the conditions of peace were practi
celly drafted and the annexation OF
Thessaly was prevented, although oc
cupied by Turkish troops. The pay
ment by Greece Of war indemnity
was also stopped by the powers.
