BANDING TOGETHER TO SPREAD GOSPEL

Nashville, Tenn.-One hundred and
forty thousand Southern Methodists
have signified their determination to
pray for the success OF the missionary
work OF the NJ. Il. Church, South. and
for the spread OF Christianity, through.
out the world. These people have not
only decided TO do this, but have band
ed together in a league known as the
Fellowship OF Intercession, each sign
ing a small card which IL is thought
will make the cause for which they
pray more definite in the minds OF the
signers OF the cards.

CHAPTER KIN.
The Bolt Falls.

y Three times that winter l had seen
Benjamin Grimshaw followed by the
Silent Woman clothed In rags and
pointing with her finger.
The trial Of Amos came on. He had
had 'blood on his feet" as they used
to say. all the way from Lickitysplit
to Lewis county In his flight. having
attacked and slightly wounded two
men with bowie knife who had tried
TO detaln him at Rainy Lake. He bad
also shot at an officer In the vicinity
OF Lowville, where his arrest was eff
fected. He had been Identified by all
these men. and so his character as a
desperate man had been established.
This In connection with the scar on his
face and the tracks, which the boots
Of Amos fitted. and the broken gun
stock convinced the jury Of his guilt.
remember well the look Of the
venerable Judge Cady as he pro-
rounced the sentence of death upon
Amos Grimshaw. A ray of sunlight
slanting through a window In the late
afternoon fell upon his gracious coun-
tenance. shining also. with the softer
light of his spirit. Slowly, solemnly,
kindly. he spoke the words of doom.

therly tone of his voice put me In
mind Of that supremest court which
is above all question and which was
swiftly TO enter judgment In this mat
ter and In others related to ii.
Slowly the crowd moved out Of the
courtroom. Benjamin Grimshaw rose
and calmly whispered to his lawyer.
He had not spoken TO his son or
seemed to notice him since the trial
had begun. nor did he now. Many had
shed tears that day, but not he. Mr..
Grimshaw never showed but one emo
tion-that of anger. He was angry
now. His face was hard and stern. He

courtroom. his cane brlskly beating the
floor.

Woman stood as still as he. pointing
at him with her finger, her look I'M

Owing 10 the Illness OF President
Wilson during the early part Of the
week. the commission on the league OF
nations did not meet until Thursday
evening. Az that time the completed
draft Of the covenant, comprising 81
articles. was submitted. There is no
longer any doubt In Paris that the
league covenant will be a part OF

the opposition seems to be losing some
Of its vehemence.

Bolshevism made another big play
last week when a soviet government
Of Bavaria was set up In Munich by
the revolutionary central council. The
landtag was dissolved and peoples
commissions appointed. This action
was supported in Wurzburg and Rats
bon. but throughout Bavaria generally
II was violently opposed not only by
the bourgeOisle but also by the peas
ants. The latter hold control of the
food supply and declared they would
refuse to deliver food while the soviet
government remained In power. The
bolshevists prepared measures for the
communication Of property and the
formation of a Red army. while the
government they sought to replace, re-
fusng to retire, set itself up In Bam-
berg. Later In the week the citizens
and officials of Wurzburg struck
against the soviet government and
ousted its agents after severe fighting.
The diet met in hamburg and the min
listers said they regarded the situation
with confidence and that outside help
to suppress the bolshevists was not
needed.
The communist government of Hun
gary rejected the propositions made by
General SHUTS for the allies, concern
ing the neutral zone and other matters,
and made contemporaries. with
which SHUTS returned to Paris. Mean
while the Hungarian bolshevists were
cheered by the news that Lenine was

Most of the great problems confront
Ing the peace conference were settled
last week by the big Four"-perhaps.
That Is to say. at the close Of the week
they were settled. hut before this
reaches the reader they may be all I'M
settled again. Such has been the way
Of the peacemakers in the past. How
ever. II there is not agreement ON the
vital questions mighty soon, there IL
some reason to believe President VIII
son will withdraw from the delibera-
lions and come home. He startled the
conference and the world by ordering
his transport, the George Washington,
made ready for another trip to Europe,
and asking when 1t might be expected
there. Some Of the Paris papers de-
clared Mr.. Wilson was thus trying to
force the French delegates to mitigate
their demands; pessimlsts saw In the
action the probability Of hopeless dis

treaty was nearly ready for submission
to the Germans.
borne out by dispatches late In the
week stating that the Big -Four had
ngreed: That William Hohenzollern
and others responsible for breach OF
treaty and of rules of war must stand
trial. probably before a Belgian court,
but that the death penalty should not
be imposed on the former kaiser; that
France shall be given control Of the
mines Of the Saar valley, but shall not
be permitted to annex any Of that ter
ritory and that a commission shall reg
ulnte strikes by miners there; that
Germany must make an Initial pay
ment Of S5.OOO.O0O,000 reparation In
1921. after which a commission shall
assess yearly indemnity.
The Rhine frontier. the ultimate dis
position OF Danzig. the Italian claims
to Fiume and the Dalmatian coast and
some lesser matters remained to be
settled at the time these dispatches
were sent. That agreement on these
questions was believed to be imminent
was indicated by the fact that the CON-
mission to prepare for the signing OF
the peace treaty at Versailles was busy
making the necessary arrangements
for that momentous occasion. Premier
Paderewski urged before the council
Of four that Poland should be given
Danzig and the coal fields of Teschen
Silesia, but the belief was that this
matter, as well as that OF the Rhine
land. would be settled in conformity
with Mr.. Wilson's IA points, his abso
lutte adherence to which he again de
clared that, of course, would preclude

An important and interesting part
Of the treaty, which has been formu-
lated. deals with water and rail com
munications in enemy states. Freedom
~ transportation through Germany and
Austria and equality of treatment In
ports and harbors are provided. The
regulation of transportation over the
Rhine and Danube provides for the
entrance Of France, Switzerland and
some nonpartisan states to the present
Mannheim convention between Ger
many and Holland covering the navi-
CATION of the Rhine.
The European commission control
ling the mouths of the Danube will be
continued. representatives Of present
enemy states being excluded from 1t,
and a similar international commission
will be established Professionally for
the upper Danube. This will last until
new general Danube convention is
established.
A new international convention COW
ering the navigation of the Elbe and
Oder rivers Is recommended to protect
the interests Of Poland and Czecho-
Slovakia and give them freedom OF
navigation without discriminating du-
ties. down through German territory

privileges at certain north German har'
