War in Europe Has Affected
Conditions, Says Report
to Baptists.
NO WORLD CONFERENCE
But Committee Favors Action
That Will Bring Church
es Together.

Asheville, N. c., May 19.-The
movement for a world conference
looking toward church union is now
at standsttll on account of the war
in Europe, the Southern Baptist con-
vention was informed today by its
commission on World Conference on
Faith and Order.
''The question has not been wheth-
er such conference should be held, Z"
says the commission in its report,
''but whetheE there is a willingness
among divergent bodies of believers
in the Lord Jesus for such a move
ment to be undertaken. The question
has not yet been affirmatively decid-
ed.
"The attitude of congregational
bodies, and notably the Baptist, has
been that of watchful waiting to as
certain if there is any indication or
willingness on the part of prelatica-
bodies to enter into the discussion
Thus far no such indication is evil
dent, except the attitude of American
Episcopalians who have led in the
movement of this continent. Ameri-
can Baptists are not yet ready TO yield
assent to the sacramento theories up
on which the prelacy would seem to
rest as upon essential foundation.
They are as strenuous for an author
alive utterance as the most prelatica
communions, but with them it is the
Authority of the written Word rather
than the authority of official interpre-
tation of the Word"
The commission says that TO many de-
nominations of this country such a
conference as is hoped for will not
only be probable but really desirable.
Whether Southern Baptists should en-
ter into the proposed conference with
long established prelatical commune
ties of Europe would require an ut
terance from them which they have
not given.
Emphasis is laid upon the indis-
putable Kingship of the Divine
Christ, " continues the report, 'for
this foundation of Christian faith ap-
pears in every utterance of the di-
vergent denominations. If it is pos
sible to build on that sure foundation
alone, TO the exclusion of human ira
dition and strain deduction from iso-
lated Scripture utterance, we surely
ought to lend countenance to a move
ment to advance that unity of Chris
tian belief and practice for which
there seems to be general demand. -
The commission recommends con-
tinued participation in the movement
for Christian unity, pointing out that
America offers the greatest hope for
an ultimate union through independ-
ence of established or State churches.
1t strongly urges that the divisions eX-
listing in large denominations of this
country should be reconciled among
themselves and their separated groups
reunited as a step towards the unity
sought.

RESOLUTIONS.

We, the Democracy Of Christian
county in convention assembled, pur-
suant to a call of the State Central
Democratic Committee, for the pur-
pose of electing and instructing dele
gates to the State Democratic Con-
vention to be held at Lexington on
the oath day of May, 1916, and for
other purposes set forth in said call,
do resolve as follows:
FIRST-We unqualifedly indorse
all the traditions and principles of
the Democratic party set forth and
promulgated from the days of Thorn
as jefferson down to and including
the administration of Woodrow Will
son.
SECOND-We indorse the admin
istration of Governor A. o. Stanley,
and commend him for his fidelity to
the promises of the platform upon
which he was elected and for his I'M
questioned loyalty to the cause of the
great common people of the state and
nation.
THIRD-We commend the Demo-
Gratis of Kentucky in the Congress of
the United States who have at all
times stood for the cause Of true
Democracy, and who have faithfully
upheld the hands of the president in
the many crises through which the
Nation has passed during this admin
iStration.
FOURTH-We indorse the great
constructive administration of Wood
row Wilson as an exemplification of
safe and sane government, as an ex-
ample of the principles of Jefferson
and the practices of Jackson, Madison
and Monroe, for the tearing down of
the walls of the protective tariff, the
initiating of the income tax, the over
throw of defective banking system
and the Inauguration of the best and
wisest currency system of all ma
tons, the election of United States
Senators by popular vote, the rural
banking system, enabling the farmer
to share alike with the balance of the
business interests in the blessing OF
easy money. These and many other
great things have been accomplished
by this administration, but above all
do we commend our President for up
holding and preserving with dignity
and honor throughout this land amid
carnage and bloodshed holy and
unqualified peace and safety in ev-
cry portal and home in all this land.
FIFTH-While we adhere to the
principles of peace, nevertheless we
heartily approve of the Presidents
efforts to provide this country with
an adequate army and navy for its
protection, and We approve of the
course he has taken in warning Ger
many that she must henceforth con-
duct her submarine warfare in ac-
cordance with the dictates OF human
ity and of international law.
SIXTH-In consideration Of the
great things his administration has
accomplished and the everlasting

sympathy for those in this their hour
of greatest grief. There was present a
large congregation of friends who feel
the loss of a good Christian woman,
whose untimely death was a check to
the entire community. Her favorite
songs, Rock of Ages" I'm the Hour of
Trial" and Beyond the Smiling and
the Weeping" were sung by a quar-
tette composed Of Mrs. Chapman, Mrs.
Richards, Hal McManus and Paul Tay-
Tor. The incident of her death was
heart rending in the extreme. Not two
weeks ago she IA with her friends in
apparently good health. Last Satur-

munity was shocked and could scarce
ly believe that it had lost this good wo-

ness, it was found necessary to per-
form a minor operation for gall stones

was removed to the hospital and under

Their examination by the surgeons, how
ever, revealed an extreme serious dis
order, partial paralysis of the duct
leading from the stomach to the intes-
tines. A consultation of physicians was
held and DR.. Mathews of Seattle was
summoned and a second operation
was performed. The case from the
start was considered hopeless and in
spite of care from skilled physicians
and nurses. she could not survive. The
body will be placed in the new mauso-
leum now being built in Wenatchee.
Mrs. Bohlke's maiden name was
Miss Nellie Johnston. She was born
October 5, 1881, at Brookings, South
Dakota. and was united in marriage
to Mr.. Bohlke in 1903. Eleven a
