HOLSTON ANNUAL
CONFERENCE

IIolston Annual Conference closed
its ninth session at Bristol, Va, on
October 2nd.
This was one of the most interest
ing sessions in its long career as an
organization.
The Big Stone Gap District was
well taken care of in the appoint
ments which is always the case when
an efficient presiding elder like Rev.
f. a. Shugart is at the helm.
The following are the pastors who
were sent to Wise county: Appa-
lnchia, w. II. Briggs; Big Stone Gap.
r. G. Reynolds; Coeburn Il. ~.
Ravens; Coeburn Circuit, w. H..
Simpkins; Dunbar, J. W. Aker; In
man, c. a. lIiilman; Imboden, W. X.
Creggcr; Norton,J. +. Benton; Roda,
II. W. Brooks; Stonega, Il. II. Bal
lard; Toms Creek. S. o. Frye; Wise,
]. NJ. Paxton; Wise Circuit, J. D..
Stalcy; East Stone Gap, a. II. Stone.
We note that there are seven new
men in the county and observing the
work they have done in the past we
have n right to complement the con
gregations to which they come.
A. NJ. Stone, the East Stone Gap
man. is n good preacher, II concen-
tratcd man and we'll qualified to do
a great work.
East Stone Gap has been tackled
on to Big Stone Gap for some
years. But now that il has become
the seat Of n charge we look for won
dcrful things to happen in that town.
Cocburn should be proud Of Il. N.
lIavens. He is one of the best
cvangclists in Holston Conference.
As evangelist and pastor he is always
a success.
C. a. IIillman, the pastor at In
man, is a graduate Of lliwassee Col
legc, student of Emory and Henry,
and has experience as Y. NJ. c. A.
secretary. OF course he will deliver
the goods.
Y. w. Brooks comes TO Roda. His
fire, pluck and perseverance soon
wins for him the admiration and APP
probation of any congregation.
Rev. j. NJ. Paxton, of Wise sta
ton, is "A man of broad experience
and mature years. His preaching
is food for drink" such that "Wisc
people" should relish.
J. b. Staley, the Wise Circuit man,
halls from West Virginia. Pep and
push" is his motto. Look out for old
Wise circuit.
Rev. r. H. Ballard, we mention
last but by no means is he the least.
He Keeps his hand on the throttle
and eyes on the rail always. He
,hunders along at tightening speed.
SO old Stonesa you are recipient
of grace.
The Big Stone Gap District re
ported TO the Annual Conference,
1893 professions of faith. $40 ac-
ccssions 10 the church.
The total amount of money raised
for Preachers in charge; Mission
aries. Home and Foreign, education
and other purposes was SlO7. l0l 90.
Bishop Mouzon eomplimented the
Presiding Elder highly for the work
done last year and for the splendid

Abou, the only way to prevent
wars is for every nation not invol-
we'd to refuse TO lend money or sell
supplies TO the combatants. But
wha, country has ever been known
TO sidetrack a lot of fas war con-
tracts?

DO you ever change your mind?
The stubborn man seldom changes
his. That is the reason why he is
known rs stubborn one instead of
as a successful one.
Great minds are susceptible 10
change upon submission of proof.
Little ones are unable TO grasp the
proof, and therefore always remain
little. and in time become stubborn.
When a strong mind changes it Is
invariably for the better. That
makes !. even stronger, MS the small
one becomes smaller

Here's case of hard luck. A

The habit Of reading is one of in

it should not be carried beyond the
point where intelligent thought can

Crnmming the mind is like jam

is thus rendered useless.

We should never allow ourselves to
become perfectly cortented. This
may seem strange advice, hut it
isn't.
When we are perfectly contented
there is nothing else that we desire,
and without desire there can be no
ambition, no incentive to push for
ward and accomplish greater things.
Perhaps the turtle on log on

DEFENDS j. S. AGAINST
CHARGES OF K|PL|NG
French and British Responsible
for Armistice, Secretary
Weeks Explains.

Washington, Sept. 12.-Secrstary Of
War Weeks yesterday Joined In the
protest against tho published state
ments Of RudyArd Kipling rejecting
upon the motives and the activities OF
the United States In tho World War.
Mr.. Weeks takes particular exception
to that phase Of Mr.. Kipling's inter-
view In which the latter said that
America entered the war too late and
insisted upon it's stopping too soon.
Secretary Weeks insists that 1t was
not America that demanded an armis-
tice in November. 1918. but that It was
tho Allied Governments which called
for suspension OF hostilities.
Secretary Weeks statement follows:
mo good purpose can be served by
the recent statement OF Mr.. Rudyard
Kipling, II he has been correctly quot
ed. even II 1t were justified by facts. I
have no disposition to enter into a con-
troversy about what the United States
ibid or did not do in the World War,
but l cannot understand how a man
of Mr.. Kipling's learning would per-
NIT himself to make public state
ment on any subject without FIRST as
pertaining the facts or put himself in
the position of publicly asserting as a
fact something SO conclusively refuted
| by matters OF record. -
1T seems to me that is what Mr..
Kipling has done in at least one Inn
portant particular--that Is regarding
the ending OF the war. All Of the evil
dence on that subject indicates tina,
the British and French leaders were
responsible for the armistice and 4,
was entered into over the protest Of
the responsible military and civilian
American representatives In France.
THE United States did not, nor did
1t have any desire to profit as a re-
suit OF the war. II expended nearly
$40. 000, 900, 900 in addition to the loan,
made foreign countries. and II die
not ask for or receive Preparations OF
any kind. It's motives were OF the
