TAFT IS FOR SCIENCE IN SOIL CONSERVATION South Carolina to Have Exhibition Prepared by Dr. Twitchell for Next Fall's Congress. The Monday morning chapel hour was taken up by a renlition of Dr. George Armstrong Wauchope's song, "A Health to Carolina," by the Glee club, a violin solo by Mrs. Twitchell, which held the whole studlent body breathless until its com pletion, and a talk by Dr. Twitchell. Dr. Twitchell has recently returne(l from Kansas City, Missouri, where he went as delegate from the. State Conservation Commission, Geolog ical Survey and the University of South Carolina to the Conservation Congress held in that city. House of Coal. While on his way he stopl)ped for a day at Knoxville, Tenn., and vis ited the Appalachian Exposition which is being held there. He told of a house that lie saw there, built entirely of coal, contributed by more than twenty coal companies in the Appalachian regi(on, and also a number of marble slabs, six or eight feet square. South Carolina had practically no exhibit of conse(uence, but would have had if lie had been given notice that the exposition was going to be repeated this year. Plans are on foot to make it a per manent one, and if they materialize, Dr. Twitchell will arrange an ex hibit of South Carolina's mineral resources, to be placed there next fall. Dr. Twitchell spoke concerning the Conservation Congress in part as follows: "The 'Conservation Con gress was composed of one hundred members who spent most of their time iii listening to addresses on the various phases of conservation.

SELFISH MOTIVES MAY WARRANT MISSIONS Great Field Before Christian Work ers-960,000,000 Unconverted Protestant Missionaries Needed. The weekly meeting of the Y. M. C. A. on \Vednesday evening was addressed by Mr. W: P. Mills on the subject, "College Men and Mis sions." Owing to the absence of Tomny McMillan, Mr. H. S. Welsh performed at the piano. The meet ing was opened with a song, after which Mr. McDaniel read the scrip ture lesson. Christ's Mission on Earth. Mr. Mills said in opening his re marks that Christ's great mission on earth was to spread the kingdom of heaven, which has been defined as "The rule of God in the hearts of men." The Savior's two most strik ing characteristics from a strictly, human standpoint are the spirit of service and the seeking to do God's will. This self-sacrifice challenges our1 daily habits and ouir choice of a life work. Great Task Betore Us. Tlie speaker briefly outlined the extent of the task which lies before those of Christian faith. Those allied with the Protestant faith num ber 150,000,000 souls; with the Mohammedan, t60,000,ooo: with the Pagan. 200,000,000, and with the heathen 6oo,ooo,ooo. Tlhere are only 21 .307 Protestant missionaries in the field of 960,000,000 uncon verted human beings. This gigantic task can only be accomplished tirough prayer and consecration. Selfish Motives Warrant Missions. Selfish motives, if no other, should prompt us to send missionaries to the foreign field. Why? To keep our own church from dying from inaction. It is plainly our duty to Christianize the world. The Master has said, "Go ye into all the world andl preach the Gospel to every na tion." To disregard our dluty is sin. To continue in sin is spiritual dlecay. Therefore, for the good of our own church, we should give our moral support to the missionary move nment. Scire est Posse.
