BAPTIST WOMEN PUSH CAM.

At the state headquarters of the
BAPTIST Convention of Tennessee much
activity is evidenced. The campaign
on giving momentum under the man.
agsment Of the women of the state
seems to be the all-absorbing topic.
The executive committee of women
under the" direction Of Mrs. c. J.
White as chairman has gotten in
touch with five hundred lieutenants
In the various towns and sections of
the state, outlining to them their
work and making an appeal to them
for full service. I'VE will have no
sessed to us for this particular occa-
sion. Every one is interested in the
education of our people, but this Is
doubly enforced when we say relig-
ious education because we do want an
educated ministry. teachers and work
ers on the mission fields; so this
drive in the interest of our Theologi-
cal Training Seminary on the part
of the women will meet with hearty
response. The women are asked tn
roll up their sleevs and go heart and
soul into the movement and to make
reports as their work progresses" !"
said Mrs. White this week after she
had addressed the BAPTIST Minister'S
Conference and after she had mailed
out several hundred letters of instruc.
tion throughout the state.

UNITED STATES FOOD ADMINS
TRATION
Washington, D. C.

November 20, 1918.
Just before Mr.. Hoover boarded
his ship for Europe on his present
trip he made the following state
ment:
"There is great problem in the
situation of the enemy people-about
90, 100000. This problem is not one
Of going to their relief. 1t is a prob
lem of relaxing the watertight block
ade, which continues through the
armistice, sufficiently so that they
may secure for themselves the bare
necessities that will give stable
government. Unless anarchy can be
put down and stability of govern
ment can be obtained in these enemy
States there will be nobody to make
peace with, and nobody to pay the
bill to France and Belgium for the
fearful destruction that has been
done.
II would certainly approach this
problem with mixed feelings, having
been long a witness to the robbery Of
food from women and children, and
the destruction of millions OF tons Of
food at sea and to the misery undel
which the millions amongst the biz
and little Allies have suffered under
the German yoke. Justice requires
that Government be established
able to make amends for wrong
done, and it cannot be accomplishe,
through spread OF anarchy. Famin
is the mother of anarchy.
| II am going to Europe to discus
the further food measures that mus
be organized as a result of the cessa
tion of hQstilities The food probler
in Europe today is one of extrem
complexity. OF their 420,000,00

Monday morning at the two schools
approximately six hundred would be

Mr. President:
l came to this meeting to hear and
to study the problems with which we
have been dealing since we parted at
Chicago. l did not intend to say a
word. | had hoped at this meeting l
might take such an insight and get
such information as would forever
settle my convictions. have listened
with profound interest to the re-
marks of DR.. E. G. Morris the presi-
dent of the incorporated convention.
No man here delights to do honor
this man for his worth more than l.
| challenge any individual here or
else where to repeat any remark that
| have ever made which looks like the
belittling of any of these distinguish
ed gentlemen whose views run
counter to opinions which l cherish
and revere. l honor you DR.. Nor
ris, because you stand for that
which you believe to be correct
and yet l shall not lose my pri-
vilege of condemning your reasons
that will lead to destruction and
ruin. l count it my duty now and
here you understand that you are in
error and that the course that you
are pursuing will eventually lead into
shadowy and false attitude with
