For the last five years Father Bros.

sides preaching on Sundays, he gives
lectures twice a week to the young

Despite extraordinary recruiting
measures during the last five months,
only 533 of the 10000 emergency"
troops authorized by Congress for the
pursuit of Villa have actually been
added to the army. On paper the
combatant strength Of the army has
been increased by the Hay law from
1887 to 99,076. But the increase is
almost wholly on paper. Army off,
GERS say there is little hope of GET
ting the men under the new law. The
actual strength of the army today is
less than the authorized strength
July 1, 1915, and figures show that the

a year ago.

THE SHIPPING BILL.

THE SHIPPING BILL.
When the Shipping Bill was up
in the House last week for dis
cussion Representative Cox, of
Indiana, received great applause
when he said, in part, Il want to
briefly mention amendment No.
4S. This amendment gives the
Secretary of the Treasury power
to refuse clearance papers for all
vessels sailing to foreign ports on
refusing to- carry American-man-
ufactured goods unless the vessel
is loaded at the time the goods
are offered. I am heartily in IA
vor of this amendment. I am i'll
favor of any drastic law which
will make the nations of the earth
realize that the United States is
still on the map. The very idea
that almost from the time when
the first shot rang out in the
great European War the Repub-
lie of the United States has been
doing business by the grace of
King George OF England if you
please, is absurd, unbelievable
and yet that is the way we have
been doing business since the
outbreak of the war.
"The American business man
from October l, 1914, down to
the present hour has scarcely
known from one day to the next,
what England's contraband list
is or what it is going to be the
next day; and at last, adding in
suit to injury, England has DELHI
erately placed a large number OF
American firms upon a black list,
refusing to trade with them, re-
fusing to ship and transport their
goods. For one, as an American
citizen, I am tired of this brutal
force of England. Never since
the day that a little band OF
American citizens dumped Eng
lish tea overheard from an Eng
fish ship in the Boston harbor,
have American business men
done business through the will,
or by. the consent of Great Brit
ain or any other foreign prince,
king or potentate. The American
business man until the present
time has done business in an hon.
orable, upright way with his for
eign competitors, without asking
the consent of any foreign power.

whether native born or naturalized

which have black-listed American
firms. ~.

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.
In. 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 the
news" said DIR. villers. that several
dead rural churches have been re-
viyed, and are now taking their prop
er place In the work OF the Kingdom.
One state reports the largest number
OF baptisms, with 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;
that We favor cooperative evan
selism' which several states have so
successfully prosecuted: the state sec
