es, the other delegates being minister
and a layman from Milwaukee.
The national council is a gathering
of over 500 delegates, chosen from lay
men and ministers of the churches all
over the country by representative
vote; it has no power to legislate for
the local churches, each church of the
order being self-governing; but il
transacts all the national and world
business of the churches including their
missionary interests at home and
abroad, and is deliberative and ad-
visory body for the denomination in all
matters Of interest to the churches at
large.
On the eight-day program appear
many Congregational names of national
fame, such as Rev. Sidney T.. Gulick,
the noted authority on Japan; Hon. III.
NJ. Beardsley, formerly mayor of Kan
sas City, and the retiring moderator of
the council; Hon. J. M. Whitehead,
Wisconsin state senator; President Ed
ward D. Eaton, formerly of Beloit Col
lege; Dean Charles r. Brown, of the
Yale School Of Religion; Rev. H. G.
King, president Of Oberlin College;
Rev. Washington GLADDEN., pioneer in
modern religious though and social in
terpretations, author of many widely
read books; Hon. J. A. A. Burnquist,
governor of Minnesota; Rev. Frank
Gunsaulus of Chicago; Prof. Edward A.
Steiner, author and lecturer, and host
of others. There will be strong en-
phasis in many Of the addresses upon
social service in its various phases, and
upon the Christian basis of internation-
al relations. Other speeches will be
looking forward to the celebration in
1920 Of the 300th anniversary of the
landing of the Pilgrims and the conse-
quent Tercentenay of the beginning
of American Congregationalism.,
Among the important business prob
lens will be the consideration of plans
looking toward a closer fellowship be-
tween the Congregational churches and
the Disciples of Christ, with view to
the possibility Of the final union Of
these two large bodies in one church.
There will be joint report by COM
mittee of the two denominations set
ting forth the similarities and differen-
ces of the two sects. Many of the ses-
sions will be occupied with the business
and programs furnished by the eight
missionary AMI benevolent societies Of
the church.
Notable among the special services
will be a national service on Sunday
evening and an international service on
the closing night of the council. The
national council meets once in two
years, and is the big event in the life
of ministers and churches which look
to it for leadership.

The minstrel closed in a blaze of

SWEET WORDS"
 BY WALT MASON


 Enclosed find checkw The sweet est words that ever outclassed the song of birds! How they allay the widows fears, and dry the orphans briny tears! When sad and tired and short of kale, a letter comes by morn- ing mail; like other letters it appears, with postage stamps and inky smears. "No doubt" we sigh, "it is a dun; some frantic gent is after mon. These beastly bills we cannot pay take all the sunshine from the day, and make us wish that we were dead, with stacks of granite overhead" And then, with languid hands we tear the envelope to see what's there, and out there comes a note, by heck, with these brave words, enclosed find check" An, then We bid farewell to woe, and like nine Bhrama roosters crow, and to the soft drinks joint re- pair, and buy quart of soapsuds there. The sun once more is cutting hay, the gloomy clouds are blown away, the world is glad that was a wreck, changed by the words, Gen closed find check"

JAMES LAMpORT ARRIVES, TOO LATE FOR BROTHERS
 FUNERAL AT BILLINGS

J. A. Lamport, of Flagstaff, Ariz, a brother of the late George T. Lam- port, who died at his home in this city February 11th, has been here for the last week, being held up by snow storms while en route north until after the funeral of his brother. He telegraphed his relatives here that he was doing his best to reach Billings before the funeral, but it was four days after before he could get out of Colorado.
 Mir. Lamport informs The Times that is was in 1878 that his late brother, George left Chippawa coun- ty, Wisconsin, his old home, for the Black Hills, S. D. J. A. remained at home about a year after George was gone, when he pulled out for Arizona, and he has been resident of that State since 1879. He is surveyor by profession, and has held many inn portant positions in that state since locating there, but at present he is officially in charge of large lumber in- terests near Flagstaff, which city has long been the home of his family.
 He has visited with his relatives in Billings a number of times in the past and is known to all the old timers of this section and it goes without say ing that he has been welcomed back to a city where his dead brother has al- ways stood so high in the estimation of the people, with open arms. In the next few days, he will leave Bill lings for the East where he will visit a few days at Hecla, s. D., with q brother, going from there back to Wisconsin to visit sister and the old family home, from which he has been absent almost thirty-nine years. His next stop will be at Kansas City, where he has another sister residing, and after visiting with her family a few days, will return to his Arizona home, where, he says, he will be wei comed by warm weather and oceans of sweet-scented flowers and wife and five children of whom any man who breaths could well be proud.
 The Times talked over old times with MT. Lamport, he having been g boy about the same time that the ed
 
 itor was "doing his devilment" away down in the back woods of old Geor' gia, and of course Georges name came in for his full share of tht sports of other days.-Billings (Mon tana) Times.
 A fine sketch of the life of the de parted brother followed the above ar ticle, giving the details of his earl! days and many noble deeds.

ONE DEAD, TWO SERIOUSLY ILL FROM POISONED BREAD

Last Tuesday Mariana Mestas, Ra- fael Gonzales and Antonio Chavez were poisoned. They were at work near the 22, ranch, east of St. Johns, digging well. After the days work was over they went to camp where supper was being prepared by a grandson of Mariana Mestas. The three men sat down and ate heartily of the meal, but the grandson only tasted the bread and complained that it was bitter and said he did not like baking powder bread any way and threw the bread he was eating away.
 Antonio Chavez after eating got on his horse and started for home but before he got there he became very i'll and managed to get to David Chavez ranch where he fell from his horse and was found by Mir. Chavez who took him into his house but he died at 2 a. m. Wednesday. The other two men who were at the camp also be- came ill and were alarmed and began to eat lard, etc. and were soon vomit- ing. Dr. Brown was called and he immediately went to the camp where he did what he could for them. He says that the latter two will make a live of it.
 Some of the bread was fed to two eats that were there and they both died.
 Suspicion points to the grandson of MT. Mestas and another young man who were in the camp. The names of these parties we have not learned. The grandson is now in jail awaiting hearing. ..
 From reports there had been some bad feeling between Mariana Mestas and the young men mentioned above. St. Johns Herald.
 Later-0nesimo Chavez confessed that he was guilty of dumping a quantity of strychnine into Mestas' flour sack, desiring to kill him be- cause of trouble he had with him in stealing Mestas' horses. When asked why he wanted to kill the grandson, stoically said, he didn't like him any way. ~.
