hold their semi-annual meeting on
January &c in the Wilson school

will be given an opportunity Of con-
sidering the entire UNCONVENTIONAL
missionary program and of learning
something of the progress made by
Northern Baptists in the home and
foreign fields.
The UNCONVENTIONAL program will
be presented by Elsie Happen, rep
resentative of the department of
tield activities, ut series of con-
ferences which will have all the
character Of stockholders meetings
in that they will give the repre-
sentatives of the churches, as the

a chance to discuss the projects up
on which their money is to be ex-
pended.
Northern Baptist churches are

So indignant were some Of the
cash customers, who had been fooled
in somewhat similar fashion only a
few days before at another indoor
meet, that they took part in a gen
eral cutlery and booing of Jack
Elder, following his victory over
Wildermuth in the Is yard dash,
which was most unfortunate and
most unfair to Elder, to say the
least.
Blame Papers
The gentlemen in charge Of the
Brooklyn College" meet (and Incl
dentally there is no Brooklyn Col.
lege), now point to publicity matter
sent to newspapers only two days
before the games, in which Elders
participation in the 60 and Is yard
dashes rather, than in the entire
"Olympic Sprint Series" was an
nounced in paragraph. The fact
advertised the Notre Dame runner

passed over, even denied, by the

as their shares of the missionary
budget.
The contemplated canvass, Miss
Happen will explain, would, howev-
er, differ from the usual community
effort in that each church would be
restricted to its own membership
and territory. Also, although the
canvass would have dual purpose,
there would be no suggestion of
merging the funds for missions with
those for local expenses. Each would
be kept separate by means of pledge
cards and administered separately as
in the past.
The outstanding speaker of the
evening public meeting will be j. NJ.

ago of what is regarded as one of
the most remarkable revivals in
missionary history when literally
hundreds of thousands sought Chris

Mr.. Baker has been chiefly engaged.

When Germany heard that Americans
had at last GTrived in the front trenches,
according to the French intelligence
service, they offered a substantial TetO0rd
to the first German soldier to take an
American prisoner.

hundred Germans raided the Americans
near ArrGcourt and dragged GtOdy ~
