Dr. Copeland Tells of Conference
 at Washington on Food Conserving

Accepting an invitation from Her. bert Hoover to attend a conference of Methodist ministers and laymen to dis cuss the problem of food conserva- tion. left Pine Bluff, August 6, over the Cotton Belt route, transferred to the l.. 6 N. train at Memphis and the next morning I awoke in Louisville
 From this point, our train carried us along the Ohio river for nearly 100 miles. All through this magnificent stretch of land are signs of wonder. full prosperity. The fields are covered with abundant harvests; in the pas- lures and meadows were vast droves of horses, and cattle upon a thousand hills. l was impressed anew with the immense resources and marvellous wealth of Uncle Sam's dominion, which under proper management could cas- lily support half the population of the globe. Leaving the L. & N. at Cincin- natl. l boarded B. & o. train, dor Washington. This railway system ex- tending from St. Louis eastward cros ses a large section of the Mississippi valley. l could easily imagine my self on the trail of fabled giants whose prodigious labors had built flourish ing cities and prosperous towns while nature in her happiest mood had paint ed field and forest, hill and vale with colors of surpassing loveliness. At Barboursville, West Virginia, Dr. M. U. w. Darlington, and at Alderson, Bro. E. Chase Bare entered my train to attend the conference. Tuesday night, our engine ran into a freight train, shook us considerably, broke glass out of windows, and did some damage in the dining car. I was thrown from my chair but not serious ly hurt.
 Reaching Washington two hours late, we went immediately to the con- ference, but because of our delayed train I did not hear MT. Hoover's ad- dress. Bishop Murrah presided over the meeting with the grace and dig nity that the occasion demanded. The presence of Bishop Murrah and Bishop Lambuth added much to the interest of the occasion. The place of secretary was filled by Dr. James Cannon, Jr., who is a noble spirit and. prominent among the leaders of the nation. I was glad to see at this meeting Dr.. w. B. Beauchamp, Dr. L. B. Todd, Dr.. w. F. McMurry, Dr. John M. Moore and Bro. John R. Pepper. There were present also Dr. J. F. Pretyman and Dr. B. H. Rawlings.
 The conference placed on record our appreciation of the fact that the food administration regards the or ganized church as a most impextant agency in the successful work hglout of the great problem of food SasEer- vation. We expressed our utmost con- fidence in the spirit, purpose and abil- lity of MT. Hoover and his associates and heartily endorsed the general pro- ! gram of food administration, realizing

Q.-Who will profit, those who are meek, the scorner, those who watch for inquity, or those who make a man an offender for word?
 A.-The meek also shall increase their joy in the Lord, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for inquity arecut off: That make a man an offender for a word, and lay snare for him that reproveth in the gate and turn aside the just for a thing of nought-1sa. XXix:19-21.
 Q.-Should We have conscience void of offense toward God and toward men?
 A.-And herein do l exercise my self, to have always conscience void of otfense toward God, and toward men.-Acts xxiv:16.
 Q.-Should we be careful to avoid giving offense?
 A.-Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God Give none offense, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gen. tiles. nor to the church of God.-I. Cor. x:31, 32.
 Q.-Did Paul condemn those who did not believe him?
 A.-Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil the Lord reward him according to his works: of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words. At my firt an swer no man stood with me. but all f0rconl Cod %ha{ may not be laid to their charge. Not withstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me: that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.-1I. Tim. iv:14-17.
 Q-What did Jesus Christ say on this subject in His Sermon on the Mount?
 A.-Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love they neighbor, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, owe your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you and perse cute you: That you may be the chil- dren of your Father which is in heav- en; for Hemaketh His sun to rise on the evil and good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.-Matt 
 Q.-Shall we refrain from repoicing at times?
 A.-Rejoice with them that do re- joice, and weep with them that weep. Be of the same mind one toward an- other. Mind not high things, but con- descend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.-Rom. xiii {: 15,16.
 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewithi one may edify en- other.-Rom. xiv:tp.

to the canyons of Cherry creek, where
we had learned of some. We knew a
rancher, Mr.. Curnutt, who lived in the
Sierra Ancha, near where we wished to
go. He has told US if we would bring a
tent we could take our meals with him
and his family. and that later he would
take us over to the cliff dwellings.
We decided to do Pueblo Canyon

were bad and the brush thick, but after
a short struggle we could see the i'm

ANCIENT RUINS

LONG EXTINCT
BY FOREMAN G. HANNA

In the central part of Arizona west
from Globe, are the Sierra Ancha wide
mountains). On the northern side Cher
ry Creek drains the pine hills
of these mountains, flowing around
their edges and emptying into Salt riv-
er. which in turn drains the barren
ridges Of the southern part. Both the
streams flow through the low foothills.
From the cool, pine covered slopes,
where they break out from. the higher
peaks to their base where nothing
grows but scrub oak, mesquite, cat
claw. cactus and other semi desert
vegetation, in less than a days journey
there is a difference in temperature of
probably twenty degrees.
In this warm, almost arid region
many centuries ago there lived a race
of little people who nave left as his

Inside all was quiet and deserted;
mot even d lizard scurried across the
patches of sunlight and not a bat

ners of the rooms. The dust of CEN
turtles lay, a thick carpet on the floor
The silence was intense. Through holes
in the roof we could see patches of Sky
and white woolly clouds floating by,
or see the grim walls of the canyon
frowning down on US. In one room
there was an enormous rock, which had
detached itself from the cliff above and
crashed down through the roof.
Through the hole it made we could see
other rocks that did not seem to be any
if maybe one would come tumbling
down.
There We're the usual bits Of broken

some measurements. An average room
measured ten feet long. nine feet wide
and six feet high; the walls were two
feet thick. The openings in the walls
which served as doorWayS, as i'll other
dwellings we visited were narrower at
the bottom than at the top; an average
one was fifteen and one half inches at
the base, seventeen inches at the top
and thirty seven inches high. Immense
pine logs were used to support the
ceilings, and one could easily see the
! marks of stone hatchets on the ends.
| one that ] measured was thirty-twO
: inches in circumference and thirteen

in the hills and loses its icentity in the
waters of Cherry creek At first it was
almost level, but hard going over the
slick oak leaves that lay like a blanket
on the banks. After short distance we
began to climb and soon arrived at the
mouth of the canyon. The canyon is
very narrow at this point and the
enormous walls of rock on either side
standing there forbiddingly grim and
silent gives one the idea of mighty

We left the banks of the creek here

the canyon. There was little water, the
larger stream coming out of one of
the short branches The bed of the
canyon has been worn smooth and
glass-like by the action of the water
flowing over it's surface. and in places
it was almost impossible to keep our
footing. We were continually climbing
and the sun beating down on our heads

canyon and lodged between its narrow
walls. At first it looked like the end of
our journey, but on closer examination
we found a narrow space between the
rock and the canyon wall. Mr.. Curnutt
managed TO pull himself up through
this opening and grasping the top of
the boulder got on top We passed him
the lunch, hats and my camera and

humping, scraping and pulling, we got

decidedly steep pitch toward the can
yon bed some fifteen feet below, to get

This was accomplished by removing
out shoes so that we would not slip,
and with the help of a small grape
vine that had obligingly grown there.
If we had lost our footing or the vine
had broken there would have been a
dangerous fall but fortunately we
made it easily and without accident.
