WOMAN VANS 4 { S
WHILE SHOPPING
over IN LA SALE.
UTICA FARMERS WIFE MISSING
SINCE SATURDAY NiGHT-LEFT
HER MOTHER TO MAKE A FEW
PURCHASES.

A search has been conducted by the
La Sale police since last Saturday
night for Mrs. Amanda Lilies Aiken
wife Of Hamilton Aiken, a prominent
Waltham township farmer, who disap-
peared under mysterious circum
stances while shopping in the bust
ness district of La Sale. No reason
for Mrs Aiken's disappearance or for
her absence from homo can be given
by her relatives.
Mrs. Aiken and hcr mother, Mrs
Thomas Lilies of Utica, were shopping
in La Sale About 8 O'Clock Mrs
Lilies wanted to purchase some shoes,
so they separated in front of the Miles
hotel Mrs Lilies to go to the shoe
store and Mrs. Aiken to Kenny's store
to finish some shopping
Mrs Aiken crossed the street and
apparently vanished. She has not
been heard from since, At 1915,
when her husband learned that she
had not visited the store and could
find no trace of his wife he asked the
officers to cid in the search for her.
Mrs Aiken has lived in Utica all Of
her life She is about % years of age,
Seven years ago she was married and
has since lived on a farm in Waltham
township. Her home life was happy
and she bore an esteemed place in her
circle cf acqu2intances. Friends can
find absolutely no motive for a disap-
pearance CT for her wishing to leave
home. One theory which is plausible
is that she is a victim OF aphasia and
is unable to remember her name or
address.

PROTESTANT SESSION
TO REVIEW YEARS WORK
10000, 900 Members Will Be Rep
resented at Indianapolis
Gathering.

The story OF the work OF united
Protestant churches OF America dur
ing the last twelve months will be
told at the annual meeting OF the
executive committee Of the Federal
Council OF Churches, at Indianapolis.
December 1915. 1t will be a story
Of triumphs and failures. Of achieve
ments and disappointments. Onfcial
representatives Of thirty great COM
mun:ons with more than 20.000.000
members will attend. Other churches
will DO represented by visitors.
Church leaders regard the last year
history OF religion In this country.
The statistics published show that
war losses have been overcome by
practically all religious bodies. and
that great sains in membership haye
churches in spite Of the business de-
PRECISION have improved wonderfully.
A great forward movement has
been started toward the Christian
ideal OF an eventually "warless
world" to be attained step by step.
The conference on the limitation Of
armament here is regarded as show.
ing the way. On the other hand. the
failure OF America to take part and
to cooperate in international affairs
Is regarded as one Of the great
losses. Practically all the Protestant
churches are working for interna-
tional cooperation.
Active In Relief Work.
The churches have been very active
in behalf OF Russian and near east
relief. Much help has been extended
to the Protestant bodies In Europe.
The near east situation IL regarded
as critical. and the government since
the destruction OF Smyrna has been
bringing about the protection Of re-
ligious minorities and permanent
peace in the near east.
remarkable progress has been
made in evangelism. The develop
ment during the last few months
operation OF the churches in conduct
ing evangelistic campaigns directed
by the local pastors and church men,
bers. The most notable OF these cam
paigns was in Chicago. where there
were, were $1,000 assessions s.a. to the
Man.
This cooperation is only one of
many forms Of united practical Chris
tianity in the larger cities. It is be-
ing extended to the smaller cities and
rural communities. Leaders and that
the churches working together can
do what they cannot do alone.
Discuss Race Problem.
The race problem has been taken
up in a constructive way. A COM
mission on interracial relations,
with white and negro secretaries and
members, has been organized. The
leaders come chiefly from the south.
