BAPTIST LAYMEN
These people called Baptists
work like beavers, and like
beavers they like to work where
there is much water. In common
with other denominations
they have put their laymen to
work. It was ascertained that
the regular ministers were like
Moses on a certain occasion.
They needed some on to hold up
their hands. The laymen undertook
the job and they are doing
it well all over the country.
Hon. J ;hua Levering of Baltimore
inaugurated the laymen's
movement amongst the Baptists
at the convention in Richmond
in 1907. Recently the laymen
met in Chattanooga. It was
noticeable that for the most
part laymen took charge of the
sessions of the convention. The
ministers were on the back
seats. When the laymen's
movement first began they went
at the work cautiously and the
preachers were prominent. They
were not butting in but just
wished to show their lay brothers
how to move off. It has now
come to pass that laymen can
hold a profitable conference or
convention if there is not a
preacher around. The convention
in Chattanooga considered
every subject relating to church
work at home and in foreign
fields. They emphasized the
method of tithing, especially in
raising money for missions. Education,
the stewardship of the
individual and the church, the
religious press, the pulpit, the
home, the co-operation of all
church agencies, the Sunday
school, and reports from the
southern field occunied every
minute of the time from the
opening session to the benediction
at the close. Many men
had nonorable titles, but the
greatest honor was due the
humble workers who were doing
all they could in their special
field of labor. The meeting
was enough to inspire the ministry
to better and more effective
work and to arouse every
layman to a proper consideration
of his high duty to his
church, his neighbor and God.
Some ministers and laymen
both are too much like a tidy
housekeeper who spends her
time in dusting furniture, rubbing
up her fine chairs and window
facings and polishing
everything in drawing room and
kitchen. They never go out and
clean up the back yard and pull
up the noxious weeds. They
are satisfied if the front steps
and inside of the house are
clean. So these ministers and
good laymen spend much time
preaching to church members
and visiting their own flocks
and letting the crowd in the
back alleys and in the dark corners
take care of themselves.
This Chattanooga convention
ought to arouse them to con
stant activity, so that they
would go out and gather in the
people who do not attend any
church. The supreme command
is "Go." I)o not preach
a "powerful" sermon to the old
stagers in the pews and then sit
down and wait for the lost ones
to come in. There is no authority
for that style of evangelizing
the world. Let ministers
and laymen remember that
the command is "Go ye into all
the world and preach the Gospel
to every creature."?Carolina

S. C., a medical student, was arrested
Saturday night in Atlanta,
on the charge of aiding in
the runaway of Miss Mary
Clarke, 15 years old, from her
mother, in Atlanta, to her
father, in Monroe, La., who are
divorced. The girl was caught
in Birmingham and returned to
Atlanta.
Miss Clark and young Gibson
had been in love with each other
for some time, according to Mr.
Guess, her stepfather, and he believes
that Gibson and Robert
S. Coleman of Savannah, a
friend, had framed up an elopement.
Gibson acknowledged, it
is said, that he intended to
marry the girl, but declared
that she had already intended
to go to her father, and that he
was not responsible for her running
away. He gave bond today.

The Marshalls became busy th
as soon as they arrived. The mi

shall, donning a gingham apron j to:
and a dust cap. superintended ini
packing of their furniture. j an
Mr. Marshill discussed freely ; inj
the Mexican situation. He said | "li
from what he learned in the bli
Southwest he personally was ch
opposed to intervention by the va
United States. He said he th
wished to emphasize that this wl
was just his opinion as an indi- fa
vidual. sp
Mrs. Marshall, whose attitude ca
on the suffrage question has Lc
caused considerable discussion wi
in Washington, declared today of
that she was not a suffragist. ve
"I am not a suffragist," she IN
said. "I made that statement
when I first came to Indianap- W
olis four years ago, and 1 see no th
reason for changing my opin- tu
ion." sp
She then gave some orders <>()
regarding the packing of the wt
furniture and declined to dis- In
cuss the subject further. Fc

Washington, Feb. 22.?The th
national capital today is one f.,,
great picture of waving Hags in
honor of Washington's birth- pr
day. A large number of pa- c\x
triotic celebrations are on the At
program, beginning with memorial
services by the Knights xvl
of Columbus at ihe Catholic ve
University and by the Sons of at
the American Revolution this c\
morning, followed by similar (;j
services by patriotic and state ce
organizations throughout the sa
day. tei
The tomb of Washington at ed
Mount Vernon was a mecca to
which many hundreds made M
their way and the great stones
beneath which rests the first
President and Mrs. Washington,
literally were buried beneath
the (lowers strewn upon
them.
The wheels of government
activity are at a standstill in qu
recognition of the day, with the ch
exception of the two houses of Rc
Congress, which must content ga
themselves, because of the C<i
heavy pressure of unfinished le;
business, with the reading of se;
Washington's famous farewell no
address. In the senate, Senator th
Brandegee of Connecticut, in gr
j response to a request from the iai
presiding officer, read Washing- acton's
farewell address. m;
