Within the territory of the Southern Baptist Convention there are 23,000,000 men, women and children above twelve years of age who are not Christians. Southern Baptists have a large responsibility in reaching these people for God.

Tiie farmers in that section are unanimously In favor of joining the association. At the meeting last Friday night C. L. Vernor was elect ed director for tho block. Two, or possibly three, other districts are to be organizod this week. In regard to the bull associations, the Clemson News Notes state: "One good, pure-bred bull, properly han dled, is sufficient for a herd of 40 pr 50 cows. Tho calves from this herd, at one year old, will be worth $20 more per head than if they had been from a scrub sire." This means that a good, pure-bred bull will in crease the value of 4 0 calves by at least $800; so three good bulls would increase the value of 120 calves by at least $2,400. So it is easily seen that a good, pure-bred bull is worth a great deal to a com munity. Farmers of Blue Ridge School 'District, held a meeting Saturday, April 10th, to see what steps could be taken to drain the creek which runs near tho school and empties into Coneross creek.

Miss Sallie Davis ls expected home to-day, after a month's visit to her sister, Mrs. J. B. Shanklin, of An derson. DH. MORSHEAD, OF LUTHERAN Church, Tells of Conditions in Eu rope as He Saw Thom. The Courier is permitted to give hore a few short extracts from let ters written by Dr. Morehead to tho Lutheran Council: "I have to-day (March 4) boen notified of the arrival of 504 bales of clothing in the city of Vienna. Pastors and people are overjoyed by this gift. It is most timely and will be deeply appreciated. I am sorry to say that several of the bales have been torn open and part of the con tents stolen. Tho same was true in Pol? nd. However, our friends of the Child Fund tell me that if we "get by" with tho loss of no more than 10 per cont, we shall be more fortunato than they. We'have lost over 5 per cent so far. This clothing effort has boon a wonderful achievoment of our Lutheran people in America for the comfort and blessing of their breth ren in Europe." Germany. "I feel that lt will be necessary for me to make another visit to Germany for personal investigation as soon as practical. By the time I get there the food houses will bo in operation. The crisis in Germany will arrive a month later than here (in Austria.) Hence I hope to be there to help at tho opportune moment." The Uso of Funds. "Do not be anxious about the ex haustion of all the funds now in the treasury before the drive! The fact is that all that we have-and ton times moro-are Immediately needed in the field. It is better, however, to be a little slow rather than to make mistakes, or not to make tho best uso of trust funds." Of the Lutherans in German Aus tria he writes that "Liberalism" can not get a foothold. They and their pastors are true to the old Gospel. "Liberalism" has not enough vital ity to flourish in those appalling suf ferings and distresses. The old say ing is still In force, "Truth crushed to oarth shall rise again. The eter nal years of God aro hors, but error, wounded, writhes in dust and dies amid her worshippers." Lutherans in America must raise $1,500,000 for the immediate need of tho suffering, and $300,000 for the foreign mission work. Tho commission saw a pressing need for more than double this sum, but this was pared down, hoping the hearts of tho Lutheran people would bo moved to go beyond lt. "I cannot koop from praying every day," continues Dr. Morohead, "that our God may move the hearts of our peoplo to give more than $1,500,000 for this stupendous task 'over here.' Above all, I beg you to ask all tho pastors and people of our doar home church to pray, and pray, and pray again, that God may guido all efforts and bless all gifts, and make fruitful all work for tho safety and develop ment of His dear church, to the glory of 'the Name above every name.' "Tho noed in all these countries ls overwhelming in extent and heart breaking in its poignancy. May Qod give us all in favored America the grace, faith, wisdom and spirit of sacrifice sufficient to the mighty task of ministering to our suffering ohurch in Europe.

"Thousands of people are out of work In Borlln, and are ill and dying of tuberculosis and Influenza, caused by undernourishment and lack of clothing. Germany is in a most dis tressing condition, economically, morally and spiritually. It ls far worse now than in the summer. "Referring to a statement in ono of our church papors that nothing lins been said by our commission about tho work for children, and suggesting a channel other than the council, it should be stated that it has boen taken for granted that all understand that Lutherans dwell in families. When aid ls given through inner mission agoncies for relief work, the children of our poor are of course reached, and that through church channels. Besides, we have done something for children only that is, through the work of Baron ess Sh?cky." ^CANDIDATES'^ COLUMN.
