ElRsr aAPrIsr CHURCH.

DR.. Charles Fox Anderson on last
Sunday morning gave a report OF the
annual meeting of the Southern Bap-
fist Convention which was held at
Chattanooga Tenn. May IL to IL. A
total OF s22,0000oo was given for the
different departments OF church WORK
during the past year. Southern Bap-
lists have 27.44l churches. During the
past convention year there we're re-
ceived by baptism 1885. The re-
ceipts for foreign missions during the
past year were s2,S40.149.. There are
4O5 missionaries and the convention
maintains IL hospitals. Medical mis-
sionary work is emphasized by Rap
lists. Our convention gave nearly
100000 for the famine stricken people
Of Europe and China. The Woman's
Missionary Union OF the convention
paid in cash during the past year
$s,115,437.5 The Baptist women OF
Kentucky of this amount raised $s49.-
3b0.7S. For Home Missions Southern
Baptists raised during the past con-
vention year 1854, 45s.47. Two hum
dred and fifty-thre churches were or
ganized through the work Of the Home
Mission Board last year. Other OBJ
jects were also generously contributed
to. The slogan OF the convention was
Evangelism, which is the last hope OF
our civilization. Baptists have always
stood for liberty of conscience. equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none. and the forever separation OF
church and state. Only recently In
washington ground was broken for Q

started with a detail OF 3 men 10 a
point commanding the situation. In
case the attack was started we were
70 drive in at the rear. the West vir-
ginlans were to guard all points on
the river and IL they attempted to
ross were to capture them or else.
This was dead easy for II was in a
sharp bend of the river and only about
three places that could be used in
crossing. Along the hill back of the
place where the attackers were sup
posed to operate was a continuous cliff
say so to 100 feet high and therefore
no way to escape except by the right
or left or across the RIVER. So you
see the National Guards were to flank
them and drive or capture and IL driv-

State Police would get them at the
river. No one came: we stayed all

add to this in the morning and tell

every path and could take us over
rather smooth trails to our objective.

ARE YOU MCB-MINDED?

Washington, July 2.-If you
would serve your country and civili-
cation in general, don't follow
crowds.
: This is the advice of psychologists
to the modern man in general and
the American in particular. They
say that America is becoming a mob
minded country and that its progress
toward higher degree of civiliza-
ton is blocked by this, perhaps more
than by any one other thing. The
only thing that can save US, accord
ing to the scientists, is an increase
in the number of individuals who re-
fuse to follow the crowds.
Recent outbreaks of mob violence
have attracted widespread attention,
and have resulted in much discus
sion. Bills have been introduced into
Congress and into state legislatures
to prevent them. And they illustrate
the essential popularity of the mob
minded it's inferiority. It is well
known that in a lynching mob acts
of violence and cruelty are commit
ted by individuals who would not
even cntemplate them alone. The
mob brings to the surface the lowest
instincts which are shared by all its
members. It is reverston to sav-
agery.
But the mob of physical violence
is only the most obvious mob. We
are mob-minded as people the psy-
biologists say, in ways less evident
and even more dangerous. We all
read the same things, hold the same
opinions and wear the same things.
Most of US are following crowds
even when we are alone. There IS no
country in which people all act, talk,
look and think 50 much alike. indiv-
duality is rare among us, and we are
apt to penalize it. The man who does
not follow the crowd is often called
queer and is ostracized. In no 9th
er country, we are told, is there 80
little tolerance for the man who is
different. And when we ostracize or
shun man who is different, simply
because he is different, we are doing
in less obvious way exactly what
the mob did which tarred and
feathered reformer because it did
not like the way he managed his own
affairs.

OREGON GOLF
!. ,''. ,.. - Nv ~ CONTEST SOON

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 23-The
Oregon state golf championships will
be decided at the annual tournament to
be held the week of October 1918. ac-
cording to decision just reached by the
Portland Golf Club. The tournament
was to have been held September 1917
but was postponed
Several reasons We're assigned for
staging the annual state event later
than usual, the principal one being
that number of the states leading
golfers went to st Louis for the an
nual amateur championships opening
September II. Another was that some
of the greens We're in poor condition
on account of shortage of water at the
suburb where the course is located.
Officers of the Portland golf club
are now making extensive plans for
the tournament. Considerable work
will be done to put the links in coed

DOUBLE SHOOTING
IN NEW YORK
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-A double
shooting occurred early yesterday in
Brooklyn resulted in the serious woun-
ding of Miss Mildred Hanan, daugh-
ter of the late Alfred P. Hanan,
shoe manufacturer by Mrs. Grace
Lawes a distant relative of Miss Han
an and daughter of Mrs. NJ. E. Ditmars
of San Francisco. Mrs. Lawes then
committed suicide.
John s. Borland, who was with Miss
Hanan, attributed the shooting to
jealousy.
In their endeavor to determine
whether Mrs. Lawes was a drug ad.
dict the police showed interest in an
incident preceding the shooting de-
scrlbcd by woman neighbor, Miss
Gottschalk, where Miss Hanan was
visiting. This woman looking out of
the window, said that she saw Mrs.
Lawes sit on the door steps and raise
a cup to her lips, then dash it into
the street. The detectives fo,1nd frag-
ments Of china and later in Mrs. SLAVES
bag an empty phal
Police said that the two women he'd
been almost inseparable for four years
They express the belief however, that
Mrs. Laws became so incensed by Miss
Hanan's acceptance of social invita-
tions from Boeland that, her mind be-
came affected,
