OUR WORK.


OUR WORK,
Our work in the field of missions
will be recapitulated by the State
Mission Board in their report
Organization for service has been
our aim, it remains for the organized
units to effectuate the objects of the
Convention You are not disqualified
to judge their report, if you have
done or stood ready to do your bit
to make their work a success. We
think the plans are up to date, zeal
GUS workers are needed to follow the
+ plan, which embraces, organizing
new churches where needed and
strengthening the weak ones
OUR EDUCATIONAL INTERESTS.
Having adopted to foster the Ma
ional Baptist Theological and Train
ing Seminary and the Clarksville
Normal School, our resolutions
should bear such fruit at this session
that the world will acknowledge as
commendable. The time is not far
distant, when the children in our
Sunday schools today will be the
men and women of tomorrow. Hav-
ing been trained to think in the pub
lie schools, they will no longer bear
with grammatical ignorance, illogical
conclusions, and misquoted Scrip
lures, by the ministers as their lead
ers. The minister of the Gospel is
out of order, when he says to his
hearers, Il believe this, or that
about Gods word. He should know
and speak with authority the burn
ing truth of salvation. For He who
sent us, said, 'Lo, am with you till
the world shall end" The preacher
should know the Bible from Genesis
ito Revelations. "Ye shall know the
truth and the truth shall make you
free" Every necessary or essential
allowance was written in the Bible
for Gods children, but no allowance
is made for ignorance of the minister
(Cor. 1921, Foolishness of preaching
does not mean that the preacher is

A familiar burden in many home,
 The burden of bad back"
 A lame, a weak or an aching back
 Often tells you of kidney ills
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys.
 Here is good testimony to prove their merits:
 Mrs. M P. Lawrence, 755 Vancouver Ave, Portland, Ore, says: q have recommended Doan's Kidney Pills to any number of people. When I was in St. Louis I was in poor health be- cause of kidney trouble. Backache and dizzy spells bothered me and I was annoyed a great deal by rne way my kidneys acted. My hands and feet swelled dreadfully. My back ached and I was miserable in every way. I started using Doan's Kidney Pills and after had used about seven boxes, my back and kidneys were strong and haven't suffered that way since"

 The making of products which may ultimately be used for war purposes but which are not to be delivered eith- CT directly to the Government or to some contractor who uses them in producing or as part of products to be delivered to to the government, is not considered war work"

ceed $4,00O,O00 for the second half of the year. By January 1919 the Am erican Red Cross will have spent i'll this work a total of about $6,O00,OOO, and will probably be carrying the burden of one million per month.
 More important than money are the other kinds of help given. Prob flems in soldiers and sailors fam lilies arise from sickness, worry, back ward unruly children, perplexities in the household, management of busi- ness, legal tangles, mental depres- sion, and sometimes the mere long, ing for the man gone away, Home Service has been successfully helping to meet them. All difficulties aris- ing out of the misunderstanding of the War Risk Insurance law-there being each week about 60,000 inquiries as to why soldiers dependents are not receiving their money from the War Risk Bureau-are brought to the at- tenion of Home Service workers who undertake to get the information aeeded and in many cases have had allotments or allowances pushed thru.
 wherever men are under military orders they are in touch practically all of the time with Home Service representatives. If worried about families at home, Home Service mes sages are sent to straighten matters cut. Twenty or more inquiries after the welfare of soldiers families are cabled from France to near or re- mote American communities every day and at least one hundred more come in each days mail to National Headquarters. An executive staff of 250 is supervising the work of the ten thousand committees in addition two thousand men and women, many of them volunteers are acting as full time secretaries. Seven thousand people have attended special trainig lecture courses to fit themselves to heb in this work and one thousand have been given certificates after longer period of study indicating that they are prepared for positions as sec retaries.
 There is no possible contribution to the welfare of fighters families that Home Service workers are not undertaking to make. The work has enlisted the help of all creeds and races and is extending aid to every person who will accept it regardless of rank, religion, or color. It is not charity but only that neighborliness which is due every fighter from the people of the whole United States"

cause of atmospheric conditions or be-
cause the call is not often used, the

of the life were such as to make for
discontent,~ very little was done to
Knock the evil in the head. 1t was

:. The point about this thing is that

The Army dentist is expected gener-
ally to simply provide his men with
attention of an urgent nature, but
Lieut.. Hoffman goes to the extent of
the whole hog'-he seeks engage
ments like dentist at home and then
nils them without charge.
Puts in Long Day.
Lieut. Hoffman begins work at q
O'Clock and does not close shop till 5
pm, and he works frequently on sat
urdays, when nearly everybody else
loafs, except for inspection.

that 1t is bad policy to send men to
