cognHed by the chair and spoke as
follows II am a good American ctti-
zen. But I want the worktn' man TO

} Are you used to thinking of wo-

y"that Of going to Sunday School,
prayer meeting and preaching serv-
ices, giving pink teas occasionally
Ia honor Of distinguished visitors,

and then to raise funds fog new

If so, probably yUH have NOT been

IEncouraged by the general spirit
Of the Baptist 75 Million Campaign,
however, the women gladly assumed
the task of raising SIS, 600, 900 dur
Ing the next five years, or ome-fffth
the total sum, sought in the cam
paiga, and their leaders have 10
doubt that they will raise every cent
of this amount and more.
And the womea's part Of the
money is going to be raised through
the hard work, earnings and sacri-
fices OF the women themselves and
not through sums contributed by
the men Of their families,

Nor are the women going to de-
pend upon church suppers, fairs, ba.
zaars. ice cream socials, pink teas
and things of that kind to assist
them in their undertaking. Ali such
methods of raising money for relig-
ious purposes are frowned upon by
the leaders of the >Woman's Mission
airy Union. Instead, the women will
work, sacrifice and save in order
that they may during the next five
years give $15,000,00O to the ad-
vancement of the Kingdom of God
= in the world through larger contri-
buttons to foreign, home and state
missions, Christian education, hos
pitfalls, orphanages, ministerial relief
and other equally deserving benevo-
iences.
Every Good Cause Is Aided.
Every missionary, educational and
benevolent work, local and general,
carried on by Southern Baptists is
supported literally by the women,
but in number of states they as
sumo, in addition, such tasks IS the
support of special schools for the

That to this end we study the state

CARNATIONS, adapting those best

Graduating community evils and
making known the power of God

Miss Elizabeth McBain, niece of
Mrs. Geo. Walker, accompanied by her
friend, Miss Daisy Hackett, who are
on tour of the western states, visited
here last week, leaving Monday for
the coast. The young ladies, both of
whom are school teachers, are from
Orange, N. j., and are spending their
summer vacation travelling. They
expect to arrive at their home about
Sept. LIST.
]. H. O'Neill is making a trip over
the western lines of the Great Nor
thern renewing acquaintance with
the position which he held for several
years prior to the taking over of the
railroads by the Government. Mr..
O'Neill has succeeded F. J. Gavin, as
General Superintendent. He was To-
having charge of the peration of all
lines out of that city for the U. S. r.
r. Administration.
A letter received from j. f. Schu-
bert, who left here July 8, accom-
panied by Mrs. Schubert, their son
Goethert and niece from Iowa, states
they arrived at Long Beach, Cal, on
the 10Th, after a very pleasant trip
and with little car trouble. The party
stopt a day at Seattle and also at
Medford, Oregon, where Mr.. Schu-
bert called on his old friend and for
mer townsman, Adam Emig. He says
they rode over hundreds of miles of
fine highways, making a detour now
and then on account of repairs to the
main roads. While going thru the
northern part of California the wealth
er was hot but on arriving at their
destination they found it very pleas
ant. He says the people in lower
California seem to lack the pep of the
northerner, but thta this is due no
doubt to the fact that they don't need
it. The party expects to return about
the middle of August.
