a trypical hewed log house. 1t
stood for many years and was
torn away like many old land
marks of its day.
There were Just a few men,
bers then who lived in town.
Aunt Jane Glass, Mrs. H. X.
Wilson and Uncle Alex Bishop
were among the members who
held the church together most of
the church members were women
they were the survived of the
llttest and will be as long as
time lasts.
Up till 1898, church was held in
the Christian, Methodist and
Presbyterian churchs and | for
one feel like every Baptist ought
to hold a warm place in their
heart for the members of these
churches who gave them place
to worship in those old days.
In 1898 the church had a men,
bersfip of between 80 and Is and
they built the Baptist church
where it now stands. 1t has had
some changes in structure, also
changes in membership. A good
many old faith full members have
passed away and new ones have
been added. We now have a
membership of 300. We have an
average of 200 at Sunday school.
We have only three Sunday
school rooms, we need ten. We
have grown from very few to
a large number in this church.
The hills are full of Baptists and
we now have Baptist churches
all up and down Cumberland
River. In nearly every schoo
district all have had their begin.
ming here in old Cumberland
River Baptist church which was
established III years ago. We
hope in the near future to have q
new brick church a modern
building that will accommodate the
great crowds we have at church
and Sunday school.
This paper was read by Mrs.
John w. Hughes in March at a
meeting of the Civic League.

Two Billion
Dollar Congress.

Washington, May 20. In a
speech in the senate on the river
and harbor bill, Senator Curtis
took location to declare that the
fact that he had an amendment
in the bill providing for an ap-
preparation of $50, 600 to investi-
gate flood conditions in Kansas
would not in any way affect his
vote on other provisions of the
bill. He also made a plea for
national economy, criticised sew
erely the extravaganza of the ad-
ministration, and stated that he
thought the time had come to
call a halt. Senator Curtis said;
las | stated, this amendment
is offered to the pending bill. |
believe it is a justifable appro-
priation. If | did not believe so,
| would not have offered it. |
want to say, however, the fact
that | offered this amendment
shall not in any way affect my
vote upon other provisions of the
bill. | believe we should honest
ly and fairly appropriate all the
money that is needed to protect
streams where appropriations are
needed in the interest of COM
merce, and | shall do what | can
to SUPPORT and help pass such pro-
visions; but where appropriations
are not needed, it seems to me
that we ought now to refuse them.
Nor should we appropriate for
rivers where there can be no bene-
ut to commerce, navigation or
flood control.
$1,000, 000,0 900 Congress
Mr.. President, Just another
word before | close. In the speech
es made by the Senator from
Iowa (Mr. kenyon) and the Sem
ator from Illinois (Mr. Sherman)
reference was made to the fifty

Baptist Convention

At the Southern Baptist Con-
vention which was assembled at
Ashville, N, C. May II. spledid
report comes from the women's
work.
Friday May 10, being the day
set for the w. M. U. reports, was
a great day for the baptist wo-
men. When the committee APP
pointed by the convention appear
ed and asked that the Missionary
Union have a part in the liquida-
ton of the debt on the foreign
and home mission boards, the as
sembled delegates were in deep
sympathy with the proposition,
and the scene that followed beg
gars description.
The women gave money, those
that had money. There were big
gifts a few, and there were sac
rificial gifts.
Women slipped rings from
their fingers, rings that held low
ing memories and fond recollec-
lions, other women took brooches
from their threats and strings of
beads quickly found a place with
rings and brooches and all was
given gladly and lovingly, that
the work of the evangelization of
the world might not be delayed.
1t was a precious hour, there
were tears and prayers. These
women teach men lessons. Their
gift toward the debt will amount
to $4,000 when it is all in.
In twenty-seven years tie
women have gathered and col =
tributed something over four
million dollars and the larger part
has been given to home and for
eign missions. This was the first
time in the history of the conven-
ton that women had been per-
mitted to occupy the platform.
The discussion of womans work
and the address has always been
delivered by a mere man, but
this year the Missionary Union
managed to get control of things
and Miss Mallory presented Mrs.
Maude +. Mcclure of the Louis
vile Training school, who deliv-
cred the address and did it well
and acceptably.

Cumberland River Baptis
church was established May 18th
1904 somewhere in Barbourville.
The faithful few had no house of
worship. They held their meet
ings in their homes. Sometimes
they would hold meetings at the
old Josh Smith place above the
fair grounds. Sometime they
would hold meetings on Indian
Creek. They also held meetings
in the edge of Whitley County
and as far as Tennessee, but We're
under the same organization,
Cumberland River Baptist
church. In those pioneer days
just a few people lived here and
they We're scattered up and down
Cumberland River. The first
house they built was on the lot
where Professor ]. M. Robson
now lives between his home and
Bob Vermillions home. 1t was
