Presbyterian Church Plans to
Take Gospel to Homes.
Union Pacific Is Running EX-
ira Trains for Teachers.

If the church member doesn't come
to the church, the church proposes to
go to the church member. At least
that policy has been adopted by the
Second Presbyterian church of North
Topeka and will be vigorously exer-
cised during the fourteen days of the
evangeliStic campaign that will be
simultaneously started by all the
North side churches next Sunday. A
gospel team from the church has been
engaged in personal evangelistic work
for some time and members of a COM
mittee in charge of arrangements for
the Second Presbyterian church's part
in the campaign to be waged by all
North side churches, decided to con-
tinue the same policy during the cam
paign rather than resort to the older
method of holding meetings in the
church.
The North side will be divided into
districts and two persons from the
church will be assigned to cover each
section, it was decided at the meeting
held last night at the home of the pas
tor, the Rev. Joseph P. Hicks. Men
and women will participate in the
campaign on equal terms and will be
allotted territory which they will be
expected to cover as thoroughly as
possible.
A campaign among members of the
church who have not been attending
regularly will be made first. This
will begin Sunday afternoon and con-
workers will then meet and submit re-
ports. The rough edges will be worked
off and plans laid for the real work:
Thursday the campaign proper will
commence, and house to house cam
paign will be made for prospective
members of the church.
Extra Service for Teachers.
Every train into the Union Pacific
station today is bringing in hundreds
of teachers who are headed toward
Topeka to attend the state conven-
ton. Not only are the regularly Sched-
u1ed trains carrying large loads into
the city but special trains have been
put on to handle all extra business.
Exera street cars have been stationed
on the North side to take care of the
teachers who are pouring into the
city through the North side station
Special cars began their runs this
morning at A o'clock and this service
will be continued day and night for
two days, it was announced.
Not only by adding extra cars to
their service has the railway company
sought to win favor with the visitors
but all employees have been instruct
ed to show especial courtesy to them
and offer any assistance they can give.
Rush New Depot.
The frame work Of the new station
at the Santa Fe junction has been put
up and work has commenced on the
side walls The building which will
be twenty-five by sixty feet is being
erected fast as WOrkmen can rush
the construction in order to be able to
accommodate Santa F'e passengers
during the winter. The structure will
contain a waiting room and freight
and baggage rooms. At present the
accommodations are being afforded
by day coach and several freight
cars
Campbell Wants Descriptions.
Owing to the fact that statements
of taxes for North Topeka have been
r17ic hPAn
E. A (PaD Campbell, county treas
urer, for those DESTROYS of receiving
this years statements to mail de-
scription of their property to the
county treasurer'S office.
When this years statements were
made out they were copied from last
