Southern Baptists Take Stand for
 "Old.FashiOned Gospel"

Kansas City, May 20.-Fifteen thou sand persons, attending a mass meet ing today of the Southern Baptist convention, pledged themselves by a rising vote to the propagation of the old-fashiOned gospel, embracing such fundamental tenets as the inspiration of the Bible; the virgin birth and dei- ty of Christi his various atonment for the sin of the world, his bodily resur- rection and his coming physical re- turn.
 The occasion for the mass meeting was an address by Dr. George w.. Truett, pastor of the First Baptist church at Dallas, Tex, on What Think Ye of Christi"
 q think there is not a pastor in the nearly 3O,OOO Baptist churches of the South who would for a moment call into question the virgin birth of Christ his vicarious death, his bodily resurrection and his coming again" Dr. Truett declared
 No business was transacted by the convention today.

ISLAND !N PACIFIC
 HAS DISAPPEARED
Stcry of Catastrophe in South Seas ADpar ~n.ly sS C0niirmed-EIad
 l,-G3 Population.

Melbourne, Australia, May 1S.-A wireless message, apparently from vessel, has been picked up here stat ing that Easter Island haa disappear ed. Reports that Easter Island had disappeared hcve been prevalent since the disastrous earthquake which shook northern Chile last November The last definite report was made by the captain of a French merchant ship who declared he found nothing but water at the position given to the is- land on his chart.
 Easter Island, used by the Chilean government as a penal colony, is the easternmost inhabited of the Polyne- sian group and is remarkable for it's sculptured rocks, apparently the work of prehistoric people. The popula- tion is about 1,200
 Discovered in 1722.
 The island got it's name from the day, Easter Sunday, on which it was sighted in 1722 by Capt Jacob Rogge- ween. He was the first European to behold it with all it's curious relics. That it was not discovered earlier was by no means surprising, for it was a ,mere scrap of volcanic terra firma in mid-Pacific, 2,100 miles west of the South American coast
 It was only 13 miles long and seven miles wide, triangular in shape, noun tainous, without a tree, but covered with the greenest of grass. Three ex- tinct volcanoes helped to render it picturesque. For many years past only one white man lived there, the manager for a Chilean concern which used the island as a cattle ranch. There was village of 200 or more natives. The island was far from any trade route and on an average was in two years.
 The voyager who might have ap- preached Easter Island many centur- ies ago would have beheld placed at intervals along the shore great plat forms of hewn stone, on which stood rows of gigantic images, with their faces turned toward the sea- On one platform he might have counted 15 such colossi, from 40 to 60 feet tall That was the largest platform eight feet, nine feet wide and $40 feet long

BRAINS AND HANDS

An active brain and two good hands will keep the wolf from any door They will do more. They will fill the family larder, clothe the body, and swell the bank account from day to day.
 Brains without hands are handicap ped. Hands without brains are inn potent.
 The boy ill your family has both, but mind and hands are in a forma- tive state, where exceptional care and training are required to turn out a hundred per cent man.
 The boy who is constantly looking for excuses, who performs his tasks with a cheerful and willing spirit, with an active interest ill his work, and with determination to do that work just little better than others, is using his brains as we'll as his hands.
 The boy who exhibits these com mendable traits will be a persistent and determined climber of the ladder of life, and he will find his employers, or those with whom he labors, push ing him upward as rapidly as he is willing to climb
 A combination of brains and hands when used in the right is close to the invincible.
 Your boy has them. Aid him in using them, in making the best of them, and in time he will prove a staunch defender of his honor, his home and his country ry-Texarkanian.
