by the success of the, Am erican fliers
in reaching the Azores and taking ad-
vantage OF favorable weather condi-

make a start today. Harry Hawker
got the sopw-ith plane away from the
Mount Pearl Field In good shape at
1885 = Nj. New York time, but
Raynham's Martinsyde machine was
smashed while trying to rise from the
Quidi Vidi grounds. The machine was
damaged badly that there is no
possibility OF starting IL again with
out extensive repairs
While speeding over the ground to
take the air, the Martinsyde struck
a hummock with such force that the
running gear was wrecked, the back

peller splintered Raynham imme-
diately shut off the motor and stopped

Although coming upen-the heels of
the Victory loan. the Centenary cam
paign of the Methodist church bids
fair to be oversubscribcd in every
quarter.
The total sought is s1o5.ooo. 900.
Headed by single gift Of $75o0O0,
big subscriptions have been pouring in
all over the country. Over $4,000 is
already pledged. This is in spite of
the fact that the intensive financial
drive did not begin until yesterday.
Its duration is one week.
The big gift of $4,000 was made
by western man who refused to
let his name be published. The most
striking feature OF II is that he is
not a Methodist nor in any way con-
nected with the Methodist church. The
subscription was secured by George
Nj, Fowles, national treasurer of the
Centenary.

There are several things for which
n Baptist church stands that may be
mentioned briefly.
Il. A converted membership. No
unconscious infant is in any sense a
member of Baptist church. but only
those who are old enough to act for
themselves and voluntarily choose
membership on a profession of their
faith in Jesus Christ as their savior.
q A Baptist church stands for a
baptized membership. Baptized ac-
cording to the plain teaching of the
New going under the
water representing tha-hurial- and
resurrection of our Lord, and the
burial of the Individual TO the old life
of SIN. and n resurrection to a new

g. Christ is recognized as the sole
head of the cuhrch~-'the chief
| corner stone fEph. 2:20), All and in
All tCol. 3;iD One Lord. one
faith and one baptism" tF,ph. 4:5).
This includes the independence Of
the local church. No Pone or
Priest. or Bishop. or Ecclesiastical
a local Baptist church. 1t also in
cludes the fact that the New Tesla =
ment is the only authority in matters
of faith and practice, There is no

that are binding on any local Baptist

rather TRAN expectancy. or policy or
public demand.
-. A Baptist church stands for
religious liberty and absolute freedom
OF conscience. Many other great
religious bodies stand for this great
principle now, hut it has not always
been so. The Baptists have always
been the friends of freedom and
democracy-the democracy of the

not do TO measure the work of Chris
tiar missions by the narrow scale Of
the number OF members of churches.
Their effect IS much larger than that.
Just at present IL is quite the
fashion TO adopt Christianity In my
country. Many people say. II am

sounds wen and helps them socially
We need the Centenary spirit. We
must turn these nominal Christians

Lindsey alleges that he was not per-
mitted to make any appointments
without the treasury passing upon
them and without encountering in
terminable delay in confirmation
which seriously hampered the work
of his bureau and made a successful
administration well nigh impossible.
The treasury's delay, though, did
not only apply to matters of adminis-
tration. 1t also applied to matters of
policy. according to Colonel Linds-
ley and in this respect it hit the SOL
der. Every delay meant anxiety in
the homes of hundreds of the nations
