David E. Over, D. D., Minister.

Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock,
the three Baptist churches of the city
will hold a union covenent and COM

Zion will be well represented in the
meeting
Last Sunday afternoon the ladies OF
the Mission Circle were addressed by

esting and instructive. During the
year the Missionary ladies will hold
an afternoon service on each fifth
Sunday.
DR.. Morse of the First Baptist
church will address the Mems Bible
Glass on the last Tuesday evening of
this month. DR.. Morse is pleasing
and magnetic speaker and the men
will be delighted with his address.
Every man is welcome to the meet
ings of the class, Tuesday evenings at
o'clock.
A very pleasant and profitable
meeting of the executive board was
held at the Springs last week, being
entertained by the st. Johns Baptist

the gospel ministry of the Baptist
Church.
The Woman's Bible Glass is doing
splendid work this season. The les

esting period of Israel's wanderings in
the Wilderness. The hour is q: 80 on
Thursday afternoon. Every woman is
welcome.
Our sick list this week contains the

THE DESTINY OF THE WICKED.
(Continued.)

Man, lead by the dim, flickering
candle of his own reason, cannot solve
the question of what awaits the incor-
rigible in the life beyond Our only
hope for the correct solution of this
mystery is the Scriptures of Truth
We turn, therefore, reverently to the
Word of God, and inquire of its Au-
thor, what is the final destiny of sin
full. unregenerate men who reject the
overtures of mercy and die in their
sins? Surely this divine revelation,
given us as a guide light upon the
problem, will shine forth, and from its
sacred pages we do indeed gain a
most clear and comprehensive answer
This we shall endeavor to make plain
from the Scriptures to the mind of
the candid reader by a consideration
of the question under a few simple
propositions.

The Seasons Crops

1t is too early now to make any es.
innate of the crops of the season, says
the Wallace Farmer, a season in
which the whole world is interested
in the crops Of America as never be-
fore. About all that can be said is
the winter wheat crop, grown mainly
in the west, covers a large acreage,
but the increase in acreage will be
about balanced by the loss Of condi-
ton. There has been great deal Of
freezing and thawing in the middle
states, and the condition is not UP to
the average; while in the west the
conditions are ideal. We can reason
ably look for about the same yield Of
winter wheat as we had last year, not
any more, perhaps little less. The
conditions for sowing spring wheat
have been favorable all over the
spring wheat country, and we may
expect a considerable increase in
acreage; but no man can guess at

Report of Poultry
Show Conferences,

The recent series of conference.
between officers of the Missouri State
Poultry Board and the Missouri State
Poultry Association, with officers oil
the county and local shows was fol-
the purpose of learning the needs oil
the small shows and to get sugges.
tons on how they can be successfully
conducted.
One of the greatest needs is uni
form coping and several plans were
suggested. Some of the officers want
the State Poultry Board to recon.
mend standard coop and make ar
engagements for buying those in large
quantities, giving the individual
breeders chance to get what coops
they need at wholesale prices. Some
of the poultry show officials would
like to have circuit of shows and
make rental arrangement for all
the season, while few of the most
prosperous shows own coops Of var
ious designs and are not particularly
interested In the proposition.
Nothing discounts poultry show
more than to have the birds oooped
in a variety of boxes, coops and 9TH
er packages, most of which are diff
ficult to get the birds out of for
judging.
Some associations wanted the State
Poultry Board to purchase coops and
rent them to the various shows at
cost, but as the appropriation has
been reduced considerably, that plan
will be impossible, even if it would
have been practical, which was an
open question.
One of the most important features
connected with a successful poultry
show is in getting lots of publicity be-
fore the show, to arouse enthusiasm
about the work.
If possible work up girls and
boys poultry club in your community.
There are lots of them starting in all
parts of the country and Missouri has !
several. Give the Juniors setting
of eggs and let them become poultry
fanciers by the time you hold the
next show.
The officers of the Kansas City
district, including its trade territory
are: Edison Snyder, Butler, >secre-
tary-treasurer, Bates County Poultry
Association; Fred D. Campbell, Lees
Summit, vice president Suburban
Poultry Association, and J. S. Nor
man, Gallatin, secretary Daviess

what the wheat crop will be until it
is harvested: 4
The seed corn is excellent this year,
the ground in fine condition, the sea-
SON favorable for planting. So far,
everything is favorable, but it is too
early to even guess what the crop
yield will be. A failure in the crops
of America this year would be a
world calamity.

cessful in securing the required
grades, and sincerely hope that those
less fortunate will try again. next

Most of the teachers graded the
papers as / requested. Some ofthem
did not. had several reasons for
asking the the teachers to do this.
First, considered it more just for
the pupil, as the teachers in charge
understood the ability OF the pupils
better than I. Secondly, it has been
my observation that some teachers
grade uniustly, and desired to find
who these are. To justify what l
have said am going to present some
of the questions and the answers:
One Of the questions was: Who was
Robert Morris? Tell of his service to
his country. One Of the answers
read: Robert Morris invented the
telegraph. He seen the telegraph in
operation all over the United States.
His service to his country was in
venting the telegraph. " Another
answer read: Robert Morris in
vented the telegraph. He built lines
and made telephones to talk long
distances over. 1t was great help to
this country message could 60 over
this in a little while. Before this they
had to go on foot or on horseback. "
One of the questions in physiology
was: Describe the process by which
we hear" One of the answers was:
1.-THE process by which we hear is
called the ear. The process on the
side of the head is not the thing from
which all the hearing comes FROM"

traded correct by several teachers.
