STEWARDSHIP PLAN
PROVES GREAT BOON
To ALL PAsTORATES

Examples of how churches attain
financial strength by the adoption of
the Stewardship Plan for financing
and thus are enabled to assume larger
responsibilities for the forwarding Of
the Gospel of Christ In all the world,
while at the same time increasing
their own PASTORS salaries, are shown
on slides and other material tobe used
In lectures prepared by the Steward
ship Department of the Intarchurch
World Movement. Different types Of
churches are used as exampleasf
One country church with an tannual
budget Of $500 increased Its budget
to $1,120. A city church with 200
members gave sl8.es per member to
the work of promoting Christianity.
There were "a life work decisions in
that field and five of the workers are

penses. After the members 'acknowl-
edged that God was the owner of all
things and man was the steward" and
set aside proportion of their income
their budget called for $1,000 for mis-

INTERCHURCH WORLD
MOVEMENT

A very important conference in con-
nection with the Interchurch World
Movement will be held at the Chris
tian church in Flat River on next
Thursday, April s. beginning at 10 a.
m. Representatives of all churches
in the counties Of St. Francois and
Ste. Genevieve are expected to be
present from denominations co-operat-
ing with the movement. A most cor
dial invitation is extended ministers
and others of every church to be pres
ent as visitors. A definite program
will be followed but time will be al
lowed for questions that may arise as
to the nature and purpose of this CO.
operative movement among churches.
Two important items of the program
will be discussion and arrangement
for the united financial campaign for
Benevolences in the respective church
es cooperating on April 25 to May 2,
and detailed and thorough survey
of the social and religious conditions
of the two counties uniting in this
conference.
Every church is urged to bring a
large delegation, at least the pastor,
an officer, the president of the young
peoples organization and a leading
woman. The more the better. The
conference will last but one day, clos
ing in the evening in time for persons
to drive tot their homes. The confer
enee is self entertaining but this
should not be drawback to persons
interested in SO vital thing as the
Kingdom of God. Rev. R. S. Boyd is
chairman of the County Survey Com
mittee. Rev. J. M. Bailey is County
Convener and chairman Of the confer
ence. We apreal to your spirit Of CO.
operation in behalf Of great cause
to be present and add your council
and inspiration to the discussions.

RESs OTHERS SLIPPING.
SHOWN BY MO. SURVEY
Appalling Conditions In Many States
to Be Met BY Interehureh World
Movement Program.

Or. A. w. Taylor, director Of the
Missouri Rural Church Survey Depart
ment of the Interchurch World Move
ment, turned over to the pastors con.
ference recently held In Kansas City
some vital facts pertaining to partial
surveys made in the state, in which
he stated there we're too many
churches In many given communities.
Similar facts with reference to sur
veys in Arkansas will be presented to
the conference of pastors from that
state, to be. held in Little Rock, March
1912, as we'll as in other states where
surveys are under way.
He declared that two-thirds Of the
rural churches of Missouri are making
no progress and that 35 per cent TO
40 per cent of them are actually slid
ing backward.
Fourteen churches out of score
In one Missouri county," Dr. Taylor
said, in speaking of the church survey,
ARE ready to be abandoned.
Too Many Churches.
"Why are the churches failing in
this state? The answer is that there
are too many of them. The average
number of people in a church in rural
Missouri is 200. In some places there
is a church for each so souls. The re-
suit is they are unable. in many in
stances, to obtain competent pastors
There as so many Sunday schools that
skilled teachers cannot be found"
DR.. Taylor said that 1t was coma
monty believed that the country was
the home of churchgoers. The survey
was showing, however, he said. that
only from 16 to 40, per cent of the
population in rural Missouri attended
church. and he. derlared the showing

The last basket ball game of the
season was played last Saturday night
on the High School court. The H. S.
Sophomores, represented by Milton
Simms, George Detring, Harry King
Denman, Lehman Braning and Alex

iors, Juniors and Freshmen, repre-
scented by Oscar LePere, Jack LePere,

Yesterday was Senior "tacky day"
at the High School. Each Senior
came to school in the morning ar
rayed in various costumes Of many
colors and as many different fashions.
1t has been a custom for several
years here for the High School Sen
iors to come to school on April |, if
that day happens to be on a school
day, dressed "tacky" and this years
class upheld the custom very well.
Edward Bethel, who now has charge
of meat market for his brother-in-
| law in st. Louis, was here Monday
preparing for the trial Of his case,
which is docketed for next Tuesday
in the Iron County Circuit Court at
Ironton. He is getting along fine in
his new location and is confident that
he will be acquitted of the charge on
which he will be brought to trial.
Burglars affected an entrance into
the depot at DeLassus Monday night
and broke open several trunks, the
contents of which they ransacked, ev-
identity looking for something they
were unable to find, as apparently
nothing was taken. The same night
the postoffice at Doe Run was broken
into, but little or nothing was missing
from there. Both of these "jobs" were
doubtless performed by the same par
ty, OF parties.
1t is with genuine pleasure that The
Times feels privileged to announce
this week the name of Rolla Cozean
as a candidate for Alderman from the
Second Ward of this city, subject to
the action of the voters at the regular
election on April 9th. 1t was with con-
siderable reluctance that Mr.. Cozean
reached such decision, but his citi-
zenship is of an order that would not
permit him to decline such response
bility when he became convinced that
there was need for him on the Board
of Aldermen. His civic pride, energy
and initiative alone are sufficient tc
make him a valuable member of that
body, and he will doubtless go in with.

AUTHENTIC STORIES
FROM THE OIL FIELDS
They Read Like Fiction and Extracts

! j They Are Npuched For. u

Most workers have only one way of
earning money, but every worker has
hundreds and thousands of ways Of
spending it. The familiar and well
marked road of earning is easy
enough to follow but it is difficult not
to become confused and follow the
wrong turning at the cross roads and
four corners Of spending.
The recent oil excitement in Texas
has opened some queer paths before
the feet of unaccustomed speuders &C.
cording to stories coming from that
state. No other town of similar size
has sold as many silk shirts as Dallas
since the oil excitement began &C.
cording to these stories.

One of the new m.llionaires finds
amusement in riding around all alone
in shiny limousine with bright
J light lit over his head. So long as

him, he is driven up and down. He
never asks anyone to ride with him.
One woman who was almost
swamped under a flood Of the new
easy money still continues to run a

so fast she cannot loan it out any

OF one couple 1t is related that when

One farmer was taken to an asylum
the other day. He had been driver
crazy by worrying over his income

port that new rich guests often are
unable to sleep at nights so worried
are they over how they shall spend
their money or for fear their new
