AN OPEN LETTER.

To Arms Baptis,sl To the
Bapiists Of the Mt Olive Baptist
Assoc alton OF Southern Illinois.
To you we send greetings and
wish to inform you that the time
is at hand for us arise and gird
our arm Of on, and heed the Mace
DOMAIN cry Come ye over and
help us. ;
We have number OF small
churches few larger ones in oui
district that are without pastors
and not self supporting and with
a little encouragement from the
stronger ones, they can be made
strcng.
Our mission work and our Dis
trict missionaries are greatly neg
lected, which should not be the
case in land OF plenty and pros
perity. when. il the pastors and
churches would manifest a little
more OF the Christ like spirit in
carrying out the great commission
to go into all the world and pre-
ach the gospel. Southern Illinois
is part OF the world. therefore.
since il is part OF territory we are
obligated to Christ to carry the
Gospel TO pcrishing thousands ip
our bsiit wick.
The churches are only asked to
send up sc per member quarterly
to aid the missionaries while in
the destitute parts of our district
which is small item to any mem
Der, but. would be ample to care
Tor our district work 10 good shape
and missionaries would not be
compelled to look like tramps.
AS intelligent Baptists we can
not afford to let the Banner trail
in the dust and be = laughing
stock or to be held up in ridiculc
by Others who are less able TO care
for their obligations.
We confidently trust that each
pastor and officer in the churches
OF our a,sociational district will
get busy and help TO raise the hn-
anciaI standard in oar district at
the rst quarterely Board meeting
which will be held in Mt Vernon
with Shiloh Baptist church with
Elder John Bruen. pastor. Thurs
day before the 3rd Sunday in
Dec. 1916.
The church and pastor sending
up the most money at said meet
ing will be placed on honor roll
and the cut OF pastor will be plac-
ed in the columns OF the Gazette
Respectfully yours

third prize, Stanley Lyndes. The speci
mems of work exhibited by the different
schools were commendable, manifestinp
careful, painstaking effort on the part OF
both pupils and teachers. The benefit OF
this competitive work among the schools
of this town cannot be over estimated
and it is the intention Of Supt. Butter
field to make it an annual event. It is
to be regretted that more of the tax
payers were not present, since, If they
would take sufficient interest to find out
the real worth of the work being done,
we believe that there would be less fault
found with the expense OF the schools
and the rate of taxation.

are as follows: Moderator, A. T. Davis;

PREPAREDNESS
LEGISLATION
The Part of Wisdom, Is the
Feeling in Several
States

Washington, March l4.--The Senate
will soon take up the pew army bill and
efforts will be made to press it to pas
sage without needless delay, according to
announcement in Senate military com
mittee circles yesterday afternoon. Sen.
ator Chamberlain hopes to bring up the
bill for consideration this week.
While it cannot be said this is due to
the Mexican situation, there is no doubt
feeling in administration circles and in
Congress, among proponents Of prepared
ness, that it would be the part of wis
dom to hasten preparedness legislation.
Senator Chamberlain, as chairman of
the military committee. has asked for
certain reports from the war depart
ment on the new Senate bill. As soon
as they arrive, he wants to push the
measure. The conference at the White
House yesterday between the president,
Speaker Clark and Leader Kitchin was
for the purpose of speeding up legisla.
ton and especially preparedness legisla
ton.

ah, Republican, urged the Senate yester-
day to drop all other legislation and i'm
mediately consider the national pre-
paredness programme, in view OF conse-
quenees that might arise from the de-
cision to pursue Villa in Mexico.
Chairman Chamberlain of the military
committee told the Senate that in his
opinion the United States army did not
have enough soldiers to cope with Mex
leo or enough equipment. He added he
would not be surprised to see all Mex.
leans rally around villa.
