Baptist Church Notes.

Now that the work of Evangelist
j. Bruce Evans has been finished the
real work of the churches begins.
For the revival has only been started.
Our special meeting vows are still to
be fulfilled. The young converts are
yet to be instructed in the ways of
the Gospel of God. Every pastor in
the city is expecting to see his prayer
meetings attended by twice as many
people as attended before the COM
ing of Bruce. Church letters will be
forthcoming from their hiding places
in the bottom of the trunk.
The Baptist pastor is seeking to
follow up the good influences of the
meeting by conducting classes for
young converts on Tuesday, Wednes-
day and Thursday evenings of this
week and of next. These classes will
meet in the auditorium of the church
and every young Christian, even if
you are already a member of the
church, will be welcome to these
meetings. Also if you are not a Chris
tian but are interested in the things
of God and the human soul, come and
get the benefit of the teaching and
discussion. The pastor will try to
find an answer for all questions.
There will be an important busi-
ness meeting on Thursday evening.
The sermons of next Sunday will
both be of an evangelistic nature.
Sunday school begins at 9:45.
There are classes suitable for every
age.

Fifty-eight jolly picnickers, mem
bers of the Fourth Street Mission
Sunday school, made merry Saturday
at Kingsbury springs. Messrs. ]. Fl.
Bogue and l.. H. Teeters donated hay
racks and teams and hauled the party
to the springs. Both dinner and sup
per were taken along and between
the two games and foot races occu-
pied the afternoon. The only Incl
dent which cast shadow on the fun
was the uncomfortable feelings ex-
perienced by Mr.. Teeters, who visited
the soda spring too often. However,
words of cheer soon restored him to
normal condition and the fun went
on. 1t is planned to make this picnic
an annual event and next year a
much larger number will enjoy the
day.

was decorated with green boughs and
syringa blossoms Mrs. Clara Hurley
sister-in-law of the bride, played
Lohengrin's march while the happy
couple took position in a bower OF
white and green. The bride bearing
a bouquet of brides roses and dressed
in white satin covered with trailing
veil, and the groom in graceful style
bestowing thte ring, all added mI"a
to the beauty of the ceremony. Fol
lowing congratulations, a most boun-
teous dinner was served.
The groom is a native OF Penney,.
vania, where he received his educa-
tion. During last year he was olo

out of the ranks of the profession.
The hosts of friends of this wel!-
matched couple are expressing al!

Coal Mines of the United States EN-
plOy Nearly Million Men.

greater number of men were
employed in the coal-mining ihids-
try in the United States in 1914 than
ever before. According to c.. E.
Lesher. of the United States Geolog-
ical Survey, the total number of EN-
ployees in both anthracite and BIZ
luminous mines for the first time ex-
ceeded three-quarters of million.
This record was made without sacri-
fee of efficiency, for although the
average number of days worked in
the bituminous mines was the small
est since 1896, except only 1908, and
the average output per man for the
year was the lowest in years, the
average daily production by each
employee in 1914 was the highest
on record in bituminous coal mining.
This record is TO be attributed not
so much to the better character of
the labor as to improved mining
methods and the increased applica-
ton of scientific management.
The number of men employed in
the coal mines of the United States
in 1914 was 763,lS5. of which num-
Der 1859 were engaged in mining
anthracite and 5S3.506 in mining
bituminous coal and Ignite. The
average number of days of employ
ment of each man was 2O7 for the
United States, 1875 for bituminous
and Ignite, and 245 for anthracite.
In the bituminous mines the yearly
average decreased from s37 tons in
1913 to 724 tons in 1914. The daily
average increased from 3.61. to all.
tons. The average time made at
the anthracite mines in 1914 was ex-
ceeded only by the records of 1911
