Gravely concerned as we are
now over national defense and
ways of attaining the security of
lasting peace, we might well give
a little Thought to a fine individual
defense system already in exist
ence, one that really works. These
are the armed forces that protect
our bodies against hordes of enemy
aggressors-disease germs.
This defense system is so well
organized and disciplined that
when call for help comes, its re-
Spouse is practically automatic. But
it is not infallible Sometimes the
invading disease germs are too
strong for it, Even so, the work
ings of our body defense system
put up fight that might be COM
pared to the combined force of our
army and navy. The Individual
members of this system are body
GELS, many different kinds that
function in various ways. They go
after enemies and destroy them
literally eat them alive. The ones
we are best acquainted with are
the white blood cells.
If an infection starts some place
in the body, whether it is pneu-
monia, a wound infection or strep-
tococcal throat, the communications
and transportation systems start
operating. In almost no time, the
defending cells are on the Job, mil
lions strong, and the enemy is sur
rounded. individually the "arny
and navy" close in on the disease
germs and destroy them. Some
defending cells apparently special
ize on bacteria but others will
tackle anything foreign that doesn't
belong there. An abscess, for in
stance, with pus coming out indi-
Gated usually that the battle is
about over and the casualties. in

58TH ANNUAL STATE GENERAL
BAPTIST CONVENTION HELD AT

Lorge Delegation
Attends

The General Baptist State Con-
vention held its 58th Annual SEES
sion with the Baptist Churches of
Cleveland, Mississippi, July 1926
1916 The brethren held their ses-
sions in the spacious auditorium OF
the City High School, and the va
rious class rooms supplied ample
provisions for committee work.
The women held their sessions
in the st. Paul Baptist Church,
pastored by Dr. H. H. Humes The
Laymen and Ushers met with the
Peters Rock Baptist Church, pas
tored by Rev Lamb of Clarksdale.
The young people met with the
new st. Phillip Baptist Church, and
the juvenile department met in the
old school building.
DR.. Humes, the host pastor, had
things well in hand and well or
gained and the intelligent CO.
operation rendered by the citizens
of the city, both black and white,
made everything well for the large
delegation. Cleveland has some
fine white citizens in it and they
rolled up their sleeves and gave
Pastor Humes a lions share of
cooperation
The delegation was large and en-
thusiastic, and it carries a large
and enthusiastic crowd that loves
to follow the Convention and be
with the crowd. This writer is not
much on estimating big crowds and
hence is willing to take Prof. Bells
word. He conservatively estimated
the crowd at more than five thou
sand. The Convention is growing
numerically, financially and spirit
ually. The overnight numerical
and financial growth of the Con-
vention is taxing our business adj
ministration and we have found
out that we must pull up, lock,
stock and Darrell, and move out of
old ruts. Mississippi has the brain
and talent and Pres. Humes is
sagraciously gathering around him
crowd sufficiently able to tackle
and put the job over.

Polish Envoy Asserts
Red Credits Forestd||
Need for u. ). Loan
BY the Associoted Press

Polish Ambassador Oskar Lange
reports that his government is mot
very much interested" at present
in an American loan since it has
received "a very large credit" from
Russia.
! Mr.. Lange so told reporters yes
terday during call at the State
Department.
The Polish Ambassador said he
believed the Russian credit was
considerably more than the $780,
100000 credit which the United
States granted and then suspended.
Reasons for the suspension were:
That Poland had not published
the text of the credit agreement
in Polish newspapers. that Poland
had imposed censorship on press
dispatches of foreign correspondents
and that Poland had failed to give
the United States adequate informa-
ton about its trade agreements with
other countries, including Russia.
Mr., Lange said he was not sure
that any total figure for the Soviet
credit had been announced. The
agreement, he said, includes:
Cancellation of debts incurred In
building up the Polish Army during
the war;
Additional credits for Poland's S
peacetime army;
Restoration of losses of gold re-
serves incurred by Poland;
An open credit account which
Poland may use in the world market
for purchases of rehabilitation ma
terials. r
