PAGEANT AT CHRIST
IAN CONVENTION.
Saline County Members Prese
Unique Feature.

Saline County Members Present
Unique Feature.
(By Ernest Eugene Elliott.)
The Christian Church at Mexico
was jammed to the doors and win
dows last night to witness the Mis-
sionary Pageant presented by the
delegation from Saline county, as a
feature of the State Convention now
in session. The setting of the spec
tacular presentation was the Inter-
national Headquarters of the Chris
tian Woman's Board of Missions at
Indianapolis. Officers of the Inter
national organization, and messen-
gers from the mission lands were rep
resented by proxies in the persons of
well-trained and balanced enthusi-
asts from our neighboring county to
the west. Well prepared and effect
lively delivered pleas for additional
workers in the various fields hf the
Republic of Mexico, South and Cen
trail America, India, Africa, China,
and the mission lands of America
were delivered in true Fourth Of
July oratorical style by the various
members of the cast. All of the ad-
dresses were of a very high order,
many of them winning applause in
absolute violation of the edict of the
presiding officer, who ruled out all
hand-clapping as i'll advised, unneC-
esstry and undesirable. For in
stance, a brilliantly costumed count
erfeit missionary worker from one
of the dark countries began her plea
by stating that there were three times
as many people in India who had
never heard of Jesus Christ as are
now living in all of America. That
the tired missionaries of India were
sadly in need of helpers, to reen-
force the messages and work of the
present inadequate forces. She told
of the illiteracy of the people of In
dia, of the educational advantages
offered by the Government being
only toy system, readily available
to only the masculine population,
and not at all available to the i'm
mense female contingent. There
are ten million widows in India" said
the speaker, 'and fully a third of
them are below the age af ten." The
child widow in India is actually a
slave, with no hope of ever being able
to remedy her'condition, so far as the
condition of the government is con-
cerned. The mission is the only hope
of the child widow of India. The
| terrible "cast system" of India came
in for condemnation also. On ac-
count of this system it is unpopular
to embrace the Christian religion as
an individual Therefore whole viii
lagos and communities are embracing
Christianity, in order to overcome So
cial ostracization for the individual.
"There are four hundred millions
OF people in the country l came
from" said the representative from
China, "a large portion of whom have
never heard of Christ" The speaker
emphasized the fact that the Chris
tian Church, thru~the missions main
tanned by the Woman's Board of
Missions and the Foreign Christian
Missionary Society in China, have a
population for which they are respon-
sible, numbering over ten million

The simple mixture of buckthorn

Adler-ika acts on BOTH lower and

surprising foul matter that a few doses
often relieve or prevent appendicitis.

Ingenuity in Road Building.

Road building has called into play
all the ingenuity of pioneer battalions.
composed not only of experienced Brit
ish workmen. but of real pioneers from
the prairies and mountains OF Canada
and the far land of Australasia and
South Africa. Road material is scarce
in the stricken wilderness of No Mans
Land but the refuse of battle often
serves the purpose during the first
hours of g. new forward movement.
Broken rifles. bits of clothing, frag-
ments of shells and occasionally few
shells themselves that fail to explode
are used in the foundation of the new
paths The remains of a recently
evacuated village bring great JOY to
the pioneers for that means q tempo
rary supply at least of much desired
broken brick and stone.

The forward movement OF the British

Themselves forward, regardless of mud

Bapaume has been considered from

another there, crushing in the sides and

This movement, halted by the advent

during several weeks past by the great
retirement operation Of the Germans on

British Revealing in Joy.

In the meantime the British troops
are reveling in the JOY of occupying
high ground. They are now on the
Somme crest, and Bapaume and the
country east lie on a slope that grad
ually descends all the way to the
French border. One can but marvel
