cial guards against bomb plots, accord
ing to a railroad official here to-day. He

lie structures which could be damaged by
a bomb explosion in the tunnel. 1t runs
for ten blocks diagOnally under the

Ago That Missionaries Might
Come From Westminster
Sunday School.
TWO SPOKE YESTERDAY
Miss Elizabeth FoeIker VIII Teach
In Utah and Miss Matte Busch
....- VIII Also Go as
Missionary.

A great many years ago. Mrs. Geo.
B. Smythe was superintendent OF the
primary department In the First
Westminster Presbyterian Sunday
school. She held that position for
twenty-five years. Over and over
again she would tell the children
and repeat it in prayer meeting ana
in missionary meeting, that she was
praying that a missionary might
come from that Sunday school. Mrs.
Smythe went to her reward good
many years ago, but her prayer has
been answered.
In the Westminster Presbyterian
Sunday school yesterday morning,
two young women spoke before the
school, one who has been accepted
for work under the home mission
board and the other has been gradu-
ated from the Moody Bible school In
preparation to go to the foreign field
and has offered herself to the board.
The conditions in Europe have
changed the plans Of the foreign
boards Of most of the churches and
If there is any delay in Miss Matte
Busch's going, 1t will be due to these
conditions.
At the meeting Sunday morning.
Mrs Leonard -Matless, assistant SUI
perintendent of the Sunday school,
presided. Miss Elizabeth Foelker
told something of the work she will
have at Logan. Utah. Miss -Foelker
graduated in June from Parsons col
lege and has had some experience IN
Y. w. C. A. work. She will teach in
the New Jersey academy, a school
for girls, and said to be one of the
best equipped of the Presbyterian
home mission schools. She will
leave early in September.
Miss Matte Busch graduated a
year ago from the Moody Bible 1nsti'
tute in Shicago and has had some ex
perience as Bible reader. She
spoke yesterday on the Need OF Mis-
sions and her comprehensive view OF
the field showed that she had
studied the conditions in non-chris
t!an lands.
One other missionary has gone out
from the First Westminster church.
