termination to obtain amendment OF
the Constitution to permit Congress

dangerously destructive doctrine that
has been voiced in American since

Both Republican and Democratic
heaquarters are agreed that the vote
probably will be Is. per cent lighter
than in 1920. A similar degree of
apathy is apparent throughout the
country according to reports.
Bad weather on election day would
hold down the votes and very likely
would prevent an expression of. ac-
tual political alignments, politicians
say. Good weather would help over
come the unconcern that is apparent.

public sentiment in the past few
weeks. S r. e. '.-''- g." -.

Mission Work of Kansas Bap-
fists Largest in History.
Twenty Per Cent Increase in
BaptismS and Conversions.

The state mission work of the Kan
sas Baptist convention in the last year
surpassed that of any previous twelve
months in the history of the conven-
ton. This statement will be made by
the Rev. ]. T. Crawford, executive
secretary. at the annual meeting at
Hays, Tuesday. Wednesday and Thurs
day. A larger volume of work was
completed and larger number of con-
versions were reported.
The membership gains were among
the largest in history, says the Rev
erend Crawford. The membership
report will be completed in November.
The number of conversions and bap-
tisms is twenty per cent larger than
in 1921.
1t will be proposed at the conven-
ton that all personal gifts to churches
be eliminated and that these gifts be
substituted by long term loans. Under
this system the money will be avail
able for more than one church.

Price, of Ottawa university, is that the
physical property of the school is in
better condition than ever before. The
