TO THE BAPTIST CHURCHES OF
LAFAYETTE COUNTY

At the meeting of the Lafayette
County Association last September
brother n F. Nets was chosen to
represent the association in the
Southern Baptist Convention, to
meet in Jacksonville, Fla, about
May 18th. 1t has been the custom
of the associations for years to pay
the expenses of the associational
messenger to the Southern Baptist
Convention.
In keeping with this cusesh, the
Executive Board of the association
has requested and authorized me to
take this matter up with the
churches, and secure the necessary
amount, which will not be less than
$4,000. There are twenty or more
churches n this association land an
average of $3.50 from every church
will get the required amount. This
is very small sum fir church to
raise. But since some of the churches
will probably do nothing, it will be
necessary for some of the churches
to raise a good, deal more than that
amount.
Will not the pastor or some mem
be rof every church attend to this
matter at once? Do not put it If.
Brother Nets has spent his life, al
most, in preaching the gospel in this
county and adjoining counties, and
doubtless more people have been
converted under his preaching than
any preacher now living in the coan-
ty, or who has lived in the county
for many years. This may be his
last chance to attend great meet
ing of his brethren. Let us make
him happy an DIDO ourselves good by
giving him this free trip. Act
promptly.
ANY individual friends of brother
Nets who may feel inclined tt
make a personal contribution to this
fund may do so as token of you
appreciation of the man and hi:
work.
Send all contributins to the under
signed, that / may know whei
enough has been raised. A persona
letter will also go to each church.

bee hive in the Auditorium theatre
is literally humming with prepa-
ratiOns for the coming grand opera
season under the direction Of the
new Chicago Civic Opera associa-
ton.
Giorgio Polacco, musical director,
arrived fortnight ago, and has
made such Roadway with his staff
of conductors and directors that
the choristers and orchestra are
beginning full-stage rehearsals with
the principals, and the entire en-
semble is ready for the general
stage director, Emilio Merle-Forest,
who will arrive from Paris shortly.
The latest addition to the per-
sonnet Of the Chicago Civic Opera
company for the coming season is
the young Danish soprano, Grace
Hoist, who is to be brought to
America for the first time in No
vember. She will make her Amer
lean debut as Sieglinde in Wagner's
"The Valkyrie'. Giogio Polacco
musical director of the opera, re-
ceived suggestions of scores of art
lists for this seasons roster while
on his recent sojourh in Europe
and Miss Hoist was one of the few
whom he considered. After hear
ing her in Paris he Immediately ca
bled to the Chicago opera directo-
rate and consummated her engage
ment. Miss Hoist has been sue.
