JIMMIE BASSETT BADLY BURNED
WHEN GASOLINE CAN ExPLOOES

of the Alta, was badly burned about
the face and right arm when the
cigar lighter at the Alta set fire to a
can of gasoline. 1t seems that the
young man was filling the lighter
with gasoline, and in finishing the
process accidentally touched the
spring which connected with the au-
tomato spark, igniting gasoline which
had been spilled on the outside, which
also ignited the gasoline in the can.
In attempting to carry tho flaming
can our doors, 1t exploded in his
hands and he was painfully burned
He was rushed to medical assistance
and is now feeling as well as could be
expected.

BAPTIST MINISTER'S URGED
TO PUSH CHURCH PROGRAM
100000 Converts Yearly and S6,00O,-
900 Contributions Are Good

According to Dr. Herbert s. ohnson. of
the Warren Avenue Baptist Church. Bos-
ton, who was the principal speaker at
today's Baptist Minister'S Conference,
held in the First Baptist Church. nth and
SAMSON streets, the Baptist dcnomina-
tion has the greatest opportunity for adj
vancoment in its history. he plan is for
a countrywide. concerted effort In foster
which aims at obtaining 100000 new con-
the promulgation of Baptist doctrine
throughout the world
Doctor johnson said that II every mem
ber of the Baptist Church would con-
tribute the value of two postage stamps
per week beyond the sums now con-
tributcd from all sources the needed
S6.O00.000 would be raised. He said also
that as very few ministers or laymen
now make any effort at personal evan
gclism. despite the fact that there are
an average Of 5000 Baptist converts in
the United States yearly. a slight per-
sonal effort upon the part of the 1885, ,00
church members In this country would
easily produce the goal for converts.
Doctor Johnson urged the ministers in
Philadelphia to make these facts clear
from their ulpits to the end that Bap-
list lnymcn might understand thoroughly
the exceptional opportunity the hve-year
program offers for making their church
the most powerful numerically of all
Protestant denominations In the United
States,
About i25 ministers and church-workers
were present.
