! Baptists Of the Mt Olive Baptist
Assoc alton OF Southern Illinois.
To you we send greetings and
wis h to inform you that the time
is at hand for us arise and grid
our armor on. and heed the Mace
donian cry Come ye over and
help US. >
We have a number OF small
churches few larger onss in ouf
district that are without pastors
and not self supporting and with
little encouragement from the
stronger ones. they can Be made
strong
Our mission work and Our Dis
trict missionaries are greatly neg
lected, which should not he the
case in land of plenty and pros-
per,y. when. il the psstors and
churches would manifest little
more OF the Christ like spirit in
carrying outthe great commission
to go into all the world and PIE
ach the gospel. Southern Illinois
Is part OF the world. therefore.
since i, is part OF territory we are
obligated to Chris, to carry the
Gospel TO pcrishiug thousands in
our baiIi 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 in good shape
and missionaries would not be
compelled TO look like tramps.
As snselligent Baptists We ean-
not afford TO let the Banner trail
10 the dust and be a laughing
stock or TO be held up in ndicule
by others who are less able TO care
for their obligations.
We confidently trust that each
pastor and officer in the churches
OF our associational district will
get busy and help to raise the hn-
ancial standard 10 our district al
the ist 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. 1910.
/ The church and pa tor sending
up the most money at said meet
ing will be placed on honor roll
and the cut OF pastor will be plae-
ed in the columns OF the Gazette
Respectfully yours

15 5L|VES ARE LOST IN STORM AT
 HONOLULU

HONOLULU, Jan. 21. - One of the worst storms which ever endangered the Hawaiian islands has been raging since Monday. Already several lives have been lost and scores of people are missing. The shipping has been driven into the harbOrs, and mum berless small craft torn from their an chorage and forced ashore. The vio- fence of the wind and waves has been unprecedented, and the accompanying heavy rainfall has but added to the general discomfiture Mani island has suffered more than any of the other islands, and the seven lives reported lost are all on Mani. Since January 1 fifteen inches of rain has fallen, and undoubtedly all previous records in that regard will be broken before the storm abates.

PEKIN, Jan. PA battle was fought yesterday between the rebel soldiers in the province of Yuanan and the federal troops which resulted in big victory for the revolutionists. Presi- dent Yuan Shi Kai is hurrying re- endorsements 10 his distressed sol diers, who are TeTeating into the province of Szechaen. The victorious rebels are rapidly advancing into the same province with evident intention of seizing Chengta, the capital. No foreigners have so far been molested by the rebels, and it is clear that the movement is solely against the estab- lshment of the monarchy which was announced by Yuan Shi Kai

DEFENSE PL AN 5 BE SUPPORTED
 ALL PARTIES

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22-That the administration plans for increased national defense are going to receive support from all political parties be- came apparent today when two re publicans of national prominence, both of whom have held the portfolio of secretary of war in former adminis- trations came out publicly in support of Secretary Gerrison's plans for en- Iarging the army. Elihu Root and Henry Stimson were the two men who came out strongly on the side of Gar rison, the occasion being the meeting of the National Security League in this city. Both men made powerful addresses before the meeting rehears- ing their experiences in the War De- partment and warmly congratulating the present secretary for his courage and foresight. Stimson went further than Mir. Root did on the subject of military prepardness, he advocating compulsory universal military service for all males as the only real solution for the problem of national defense.

WILSON WRITING PREPAREDNESS
 SPEECHES

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22-president Wilson and his wife left the White House today and will not return until next week. as they are cruising on the presidents watch Mayfower around Chesapeake Bay. The president has taken this method to secure quietness as he is preparing his addresses on the subject of prepardness, and does not wish to be disturbed until the matter has been completed.
 A great deal of interest is being eX- pressed by the people throughout the country in the coming series of speeches that Wilson will make, com mencing in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and ending in Davenport, Iowa. Re quests are coming in by the score from other towns along the route the presi- dent will travel asking him to make short talks and minute addresses from the platform or ms Speclai car if he can not find time to make real stop. A good many of these requests will doubtless be granted by Wilson, as he is anxious to present his side of the case fully to the people of the na- ton and wishes to reach as many peo-

MINERAL l AN ] 5 BE SURVEYED
 IN ALASKA

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22-The urgent deficiency bill which passed the house yesterday without a division being taken, besides bringing joy to all Alas kans because of the appropriation of two million dollars for continuing the work on the government railroad from Seward to the interior, contained an other item of interest to Alaskans. The bill carries hundred thousand dollars for the purpose of completing the Alaskan mineral land surveys, and means that many parties will be in the field the coming summer examining the coal fields and plating them so that those wishing to take leases can be accommodated. It is expected that the government will afford every encouragement to the opening of the coal fields and it is also believed that hindering policy of previous adminis- trations towards Alaska's develop ment has ben done away with forever
 All Alaskans in the capitol are jubi- lant over the outlook, and they predict progressive legislation for the north land before the present session ends.
