Here And
There
By w. N. Saith

The Baptists of Minnesota have
had q state organization for IL
years. This years convention is
said to have been the best of all
the years, largely because the
young people of the association
functiOned more fully, more intel
liRently and more effectively than
ever before. One is tempted to
wonder why in Is years this has
not been the case before.
The answer is not far to seek.
This year the youngsters were CIV
en- more consideration. They were
less hampered. They were given
responsibilities and were left to
shoulder them for themselves. They
gave a good account of themselves
both in the programs they pro-
duced and in the personal deport-
ment that made this gathering out
standing.
Mention should be made of the
better example shown by their eld-
ers in the matters Of prompt as
sembly, in the courteous treatment
given each other and in the great
er emphasis given to more impOr-
tant things than money raising.
There is still room for further
improvement. The association can
profit by a more active partcipa-
ton by laymen and laywomen and
little less by pastors. A bit more
of careful preliminary planning by
the several churches of the denoml-
nation would help immensely.
There was fine attention paid to
the men and wOmen's menu. This
feature cannot be improved upon.
But others should emulate the
splendid services of the entertain
ing church. An equally splendid
attendance will be the sure reward
of such action.
The churches might well take a
leaf from the book of experience OF
less important organizations who
have learned, if they want public
patronage, they must let the pub
lie know why, when and where.
At that the convention was one
to reflect pridefully upon its spon-
sors.

An ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure; a wide spread and
well believed maxim.
In these more modern days it Is
finding its place more and more in
the social philosophy of those who
undertake social welfare.
This is really the basis for the
extensive work of the tuberculosis
societies in spreading information
concerning this dread disease.
Its ravages are being restrained,
especially among our own group,
admittedly very susceptible to its
evils.
The National tuberculosis Asso-
citation is releasing for use by its
many branches throughout the
country, a film, "Let My People
Live" made in that part of the
country most deeply inoculated
but equally useful wherever the
prevention of the disease is sought
A recent preview of the film wit
messed by a chosen few men and
women of both the white and col
ored groups, disclOses a unani,
nous agreement as to its artistic
perfection, its splendid musical
features and its unquestiOned use
fuIness in showing the possibilities
of arresting and many times com
pIeteIy effecting a cure Of this
dangerous enemy.
It will be on view a number oil
times in coming months in this
Twin City area.
1 would advise everyone to see
it.

ISLAND TO BE BASE?
It was believed the Japanese
planned to use the island as a
base for further operations against
bomb-scarred Canton, huge south

During the air raid on Canton,
many persons were trapped in
their beds as the Japanese rained
incendiary missiles on congested
areas.

FOREIGN POLICY.
BY KINGsBURY SMITH

LONDON, June % Q.N.S.).
Prime Minister Chamberlain's
foreign policy had the overwhelm-
ing support of the House of Com
mons today as major European
powers pressed forward with their
drive to end the Spanish civil war.
Amounting to an endorsement
of Chamberlain's refusal to take
action against Spanish nationalists
for bombing British ships, the
House of Commons. by a 278 to
148 vote, rejected laborite motion
to reduce funds appropriated for
the foreign office.
Acceptance of the motion would
have amounted to censure of the
Chamberlain governments foreign
policy.
HUMANIZTNG DRIVE
The vote followed a lengthy ad-
dress in the house by the prime
minister. who said Britain could
not halt nationalist bombings of
British ships in Spanish waters
without engaging in direct inter
vention and risking general Eu-
ropean war.
Chamberlain also stated his gov
ernment is preparing a new plan
to humanize warfare and that this
soon will be submitted to the
United States and other powers.
Although confessing the imprac
ticability of measures to halt at
tacks on British shipping, Cham
berlain warned that I'VE do not
admit the right of General Franco
or anyone else to attack these
ships"
PLAN ACCEPTED
The drive to silence the guns
in Spain followed unanimous
acceptance by members of the
chairman's subcommittee of the
nonintervention committee of the
British plan to keep the Spanish
conflict from spreading into
Europe.

RAINS THREATENING
!; LEAF CROPS HERE
Growers Fear Consequence
Unless Precipitation is
Checked

Repeated rains continue to threat
en- the young tobacco crop in this
section, and farmers are greatly con-
cerned lest their prospects be darken
ed unless there is a cessation of pre-
clpitation in the immediate future.
Several heavy rains last week did
much washing of tobacco fields. Great
ed condition whore the SOIL was so
wet that plows could not be put in to
cover up the g. ass and brought wor-
ries as to the prospects for 1888 pro
auction. On top of that condition sew
eral heavy downpours have come this
year, only serving to increase appre-
tensions.
Too much rain causes tobacco to
IRE. or burn, in the fields, and
growers are now fearful lest that
condition become so prevalent as to
damage their growing crop.
While planting has been completed
and very little re-planting has been
found necessary because of favorable
early seasons, that brought outlook
may be offset if present rains con-
tinue and it turns out to be a eve.
June" which is not conducive to the
best quality of leaf Growers incline
to the belief that the young crop can
overcome disadvantages up to the
present due to the rainy conditions
II relief from the showers can be had
from this time on for while.

A Parallel.
Suppose for one reason or another
the United States had been tolerat-
ing a few British warships, for ex-
ample, steaming up and down the
Mississippi. We would not, of course
hut, if we did, it would be our bust
less.
And, if we got tired of having such
vessels in our midst, we could, with
perfect propriety, say to Britain
Get these craft to heck out of here"
But suppose Germany were to mott
fly the British to steam their boats
out of the Father of Waters or Herr
Hitler would be liable to drop a lot of
bombs on them.
Wouldn't the British be apt to re-
ply, that, so long as they were wei
come to Uncle Samuel on the Missis-
sippi, they would stay there?
And would we not resent German
interference also?
Well, it would be a parallel to the
Yangtze situation.
Another SuppOsitiOn.
Suppose, however that Germany
were to add, in its note to the Bri-
fish, this postscript:
your ships, in scooting out of our
way down the Mississippi may be
bombed by us, accidentally. There
fore, please paint your craft in all
kinds of funny colors, to enable our
aviators to identify you, if possible,
thus avoiding numbering you mad
ventently."
That is the kind of safety that ia
pan offers to us on the Yangtze.
Incidentally, we are to guarantee
that the Chinese do not initiate our
decorations that is our responsibility.
If we do not accept it, our ships fate
is their own lookout.
u. s. Admiral Stays.
1t appears that Admiral Yarnell s
not going to get out of the Yangtze.
He is not going to re-paint his
ships, either.
The Yangtze part Of the Japanese
demand was injurious in its nature,
but the re-painting item was insult
ing, and an insult additionally verges
on ;oeing worse than an injury.
The British, following the Amer
lean course, gave similar answer to
Japan regarding their ships.
Is This The Case?
Some authorities believe that Ja-
pan is trying to pick quarrel with
a more formidable power than China
in order to back down to over
whelming force.
This might be true if only Japanese
craftsmanship were to be considered.
Japan has some sensible diplomats.
When they are licked they know it.

The Cross and Sin.
when the loud cry of forsakeness
came up from the bottomless pit OF
spiritual death, my God, My God,
why has thou forsaken me?" How
that battle between the seed of the
woman and the serpent resulted, all
the forces of hell found out when the
risen Christ of glory was made alive
in the spirit and went and preached
to the spirits in prison. or, as we
say in the creed descended into hell''
and led captivity captive" heading a
great exodus from deaths dominion
into his presence in paradise. Easter
is Gods testimony to humanity as to
the outcome of that decisive battle
of the ages upon which we look in
as we hear this agonizing cry of him
who was just then being made sin
for us that we might be made the
righteousness of God in him."
The Rent Veil.
The effect of the cross is symbolic
ed in Gods act in rending the temple
veil from the top to the bottom, for
thus "the way into the hottest was
made manifest" and we "have bold
ness to enter into the hottest by the
blood of Jesus"
