RECOMMENDATIONS


AS strong believer in the doctrine of the Mis-
sionary Baptist church. having practiced One Lord,
One Faith and One Baptism contending for regen-
Grated membership, | therefore recommend tha[
if there is any church or churches pastor pastors
who may now be member Or members of this asso-
citation who are practicing or teaching alien INNER
sion open communion and freewill ordination, he or
they shall be dropped from this association unless
they beg pardon and correct the error.
We further recommend, that if any association
shall be guilty of accepting and holding any such
church, churches, minister or ministers as member
or members of their body that the hand of fellow
ship be withdrawn.
We recommend that Articles 7. g, 8, 10, 1 and
II of the Ministers and Deacons' Union be rigidly
enforced.
We recommend that the deacons Of the church
composing this association strictly carry out Art
cle of the Constitution of the Ministers and Deac-
ons' Union. As we find that number of unworthy
infesting district and seemingly
more for the money than they are for the of
the churches and the Baptist cause, recommend
that they be forced to comply with Constitution.

SEVEN THOUSAND HUN
SAILORS PLANNED REVOLT
Hoped to Give Battle Fleet Over to
England.

London, May 20-(Correspond.
ence OF The Associated Press).-
Seven thousand German sailors
participated in the mutiny on board
the dreadnoughts of the German
high seas fleet at Kicl in October
last and had planned to lombard
and destroy the batteries at vii
helmshaven and take the whole fleet
10 England under 4 white flag, &C
cording to story of the mutiny
from writer in Germany, which is
published in a Weekly Dispatch.
The mutiny,' he writes, was the
result OF unjust treatment, short
leave, bullying. and last, but not
least, bad food. The food consisted
of potatoes, turnips. mangel muir
zels favored with parsley and salt.
Little meat was rationed out, and
that OF very poor quality. The
bread was very bad in composition
and was often SO mouldy and old
as TO be uneatable.
AS the men were sick of the
whole business. they decided to re-
volt. The leading sailors were the
organizers of the affair, and all the
battleships decided to join. The men
held their meetings on the beach.
Seven thousand joined the move
ment, and signed a secret document
to stand by each other.
The plan was at 4 given signal
TO throw officers overheard, to bonn
pard Wilhelmshaven. so as to de-
stroy the batteries there, and then
sail out and take the whole fleet
over to England under the white
flag. Before the day fixed had ar
rived. however. two of the sailors
betrayed the plan, and as various
men and leading sailors began un-
der one pretext and other to be sent
away from ships. the others sus-
Dected that the plot was known.
They therefore determined to take /
he bull by the horns.
The revolt started on the koe-
lg Albert (dreadnought) and as the
OF that ship tried high
landed police measures he was shot
lown. In falling from the COM
nander's bridge he broke his neck.
The other officers were also got rid
#. The Pillau joined in, and each
hip landed 200 men. They marched
p through the streets Of the town.
The crews of the Rheinland,
irosser Kurfurst (dreadnoughts)
nd Elsas (pre-dIeadnought) fol-
owed suit. Here they received a
ummons from one of the captains
D return to their duties and obey
riders. The sailors sent back the
iessage. the Council of Sailors has
ecided 10 eat first and obey after
ards The captain, who was
avail Solomon in his way, sent them
soothing message and invited them
