"SIAMESE TWINS" in
FAMILY OF NATIONS

Jiminez, impeached by his chamber
of deputies. has resigned rather than
brook armed Intervention on the part
of the United States.
The National Geographic Society,
from its headquarters In Washington,
gives the following account of the
reyolution-ridden Siamese twins of
the family OF nations:
Columbus There.
Less than two months after Col
umbus first sighted land in the
Western hemisphere he had set foot
on the northwest extremity OF the IS
land which he named Espagnal Gilt

to Hispeniola ad now known as Haiti.
Four years later Santo Domingo, or
the southeastern coast of this. the
second largest island Of the Antilles
was founded. the first European set
Element in the New World.
For two hundred years Haiti,
then called Santo Domingo. remained
Spanish colony, but by the treaty
of Ryswick (1697) 1t came under the
dominion of Louis XVI, of France.
through peculiar combination of
circumstances. constituting one OF
the most. picturesque pages Of adven-
ture in the history Of the Western
world. Tortuga. lying of the north
eastern coast of Santo Domingo, had
been seized and held as the treasure
island of group of adventurous Eng
lish and French seamen, led by bold
and ruthless commanders. The pri-
vateers. as they were called, had
been waging bitter warfare against
Spanish commerce, their animosity
being actuated by Spain's rep1esslve
trade regulations. Santo Domingo
had suffered greatly as result of
these restrictions. but one Of the is
lands few remaining profitable in
dustries was the butchering of wild
cattle, the meat being sold to snug
glers. The natives prepared this
meat in huts which they called bou-
cans. and the English and French
seamen. learning the trick of curing
the meat. became butchers and 'buc-
cancers, supplying passing vessels
with preserved beef. and afterward
robbing these same ships.
SSOSu W
when the peace OF Ryswick was
concluded so many Frcnchmen had
settled on the west end Of Santo Do
mingo that this portion of the island
was coded to France. A hundred years
later Spain parted with the eastern
end also, but before the whole island
came under her Jurisdiction. France
had begun to have her troubles with
the slaves whose Importation FROM
Africa had begun under the Spanish
regime as early as 1912. While the
Europeans were divided among them
selves over the problems of the
French revolution the negroes rose
against their opprcssors and under
the leadership of Toussaint L'ouver-
ture, one of the most remarkable men
ever produced by the black race, at

grandson of an African chief, was a
military genius who made the grave
mistake of styling himself the Black

Dangerous to Rule.
For the last three-quarters of a
century rulers in both Haiti and
Santo Domingo have followed each
other like birds of passage. flight, as
sassination and forcible removal from
office being the rule rather than the
exception.
THE republic of Haiti, which re-
fleets It's French character in the
language of It's people and in the GUS

wealthy class to Paris to be educated,

EVANGELIST SPIRIT
GROWS IN CHURCHES
According to Report Made at
National Convention of Bap-
fists in Session Now.


| MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, May ia
growth In the evangelical spirit in
churches is reported from nearly every
part OF the field which the national
Baptist convention covers. the Rev.
Dr. Thomas J. Villers. chairman OF the
commission on evangelism told the
, convention in his report today. He
said that in two states every church
within the year has held special
meetings and that in other states the
number Of churches holding such SER
vices has already increased, while in
one state. eight churches within two
months added the requisite number OF
converts to meet their first years
quota of the million new disciples.
From one secretary comes tho
news" said DR.. yillers, that several
dead rural churches have been re-
vived, and are now taking their prop
err place In the work of the kingdom.
One state reports the largest number
OF baptisms, with a single exception.
since the Great Awakening in 1857.
Several states report more baptisms
than in any year of their history; and
in one state the number is double that
OF any preceding year.
I'm the view OF what our experience
has taught us during the last twelve
month and in response to suggestions
which our state convention secretaries
have made as to methods that have
been helpful. we offer the following
recommendations
THAT we emphasize once more the
necessity Of securing the largest pos
sible number. in every local church,
who will give themselves to personal
evangelism: that in every. church
groups of eight (preferably under the
leadership of the pastor) be formed
for prayer and instruction in soul
winning; that teams Of laymen be or
ganized wherever possible, not only
for work in the churches and factories
and streets Of our cities, but especially
| for evangelizing the towns. villages,
and cross-country districts; that in ad-
dition to developing and maintaining
the spirit OF evangelism throughout
the year. every church be urged to hold
at least two-weeks series of meetings,
for the sole purpose OF winning the
lost to Christ:

gelism' which several states have so

rotary Of superintendent or evangelis-

pastors and laymen who are willing to
give specific time to evangelistic

that we seek to safeguard sane,
helpful evangelism among onr
churches. by requesting our state
boards to enroll and publish the names
Of all creditable evangelists who ex-
pect to work within the state. and to
warn the churches against such others
as refuse thus to be enrolled;
that we enthusiastically commend

in grouping our states under three
