Connected with the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer there were four mission study classes held the last three months. All of them did good work; but it is our present purpose to t^ll only of the one of these held in Helena. There were 12 meetings field averaging 17 plus. These were union meet^ ings and the spirit of love and good fellowship prevailed. They were held at the homes of the different members. The time chosen was Sunday after- { noon at 4 o'clock, just af:er the close j of the Helena I'nion Study school. It was meant to reach the older ladies. both married and single, but did ! reach the younger people as well, and j a few of the ladies in order to be able j to come themselves, brouglr their I children. This work was undertaken with j I fear and trembling, it being generally j understood that such would meet with j ho sympathy there. We pleaded with j | ladies who afterwards joined the class j and some outside persons who were j also the Lord's own, to make it a sub- ! ject of earnest and constant prayer ! fho n.-ri-rlr WftlllH ho anr>p<a?5C:fnl T-Tp i "U1"U ~ i , "wonderfully answered our prayers. Even after the announcement was put in the papers, the indifference, not to say antagonism, was so great, that two attempts were made to stop the proposed work. Bu we looked up and went forward. As nelps we used charts, maps, black beard, question box, "tie three monkeys" (a Japanese idol representing the thought; speak no evil, hear no evil, see no evil), a Chinese doll, and Japanese breast pin, and pictures t /hprp thp phil/iron's rv nanpr "Tidings" came in helpfully). The book used was "Sunrise in the b the Sunrise Kingdom," and for the 5 closing meeting the programme for P 'April "The Progress of the Kingdom j in Japan."

The lecture method was the one ] agreed on, the ladies making it plain- j ly understood that they would be ? bearers and not speakers. But such A a change had come to pass by the last meeting that one little lady read a1 prayer from the book, and several read pieces, and information was volunteered, and questions asked promiscuously. The meetings were usually opened wrh impromptu prayer by one * or me oiner or rwo laaies wno were from town and were well in harness.' They were closed with the Mizpah bened;ction in unison. This had been drilled into the class, line by line, then into individuals, line by line, until all could unite harmoniously.

We h:pe nr. better next. time. Onlv one dues- ! J tion was asked through i . and ran j something like this: "Why d:) mission- j aries visit so much and accomplish so ;' little?" In answer tie leader tried j to show how very necessary it is 1' r j a foreign missionary to reach out to j other needy s:ations, as well as to I preach the gospel a: his own home j station, and how very much is accom- i( plished in this way, and how neces- ] 1 sary to have native aid at every turn, j 1 To a question by the loader: "Why j( should we send missionaries to -Ta- j ^ pan ?"' one lady, who seemed to mis- j1 understand the question said slie thought the' reason people went as 1 ! foreign missionaries was "to see the 1 I sights." To this the leader made no * reply at first, only calling attention to ] tke fact that this was not the question |* asked. Later the leader asked if any ' ! one there would be willing to go to 1 the foreign field for a life time, and the answer was by all who replied t "No, no, no,'' our sight seeing lady be- < ing the most emphatic. ] When the last meeting closed on all 1 hands were heard "Qh, is this the last < meeting." "What shall I do now on ; t Sunday afiernocn." "Yes, these meetings have certainly done me good." < irr\\* fnlr A th Am tin OOTQin 9 ' t 1 v> UCU v> III vu u tarvc 111^111 Lip u^uau .

The ndictment was handed to the jury ii 5:26 o'clock this afternoon and at f: 10 o'clock tonight the verdict was eturned. When tiie verdict was announced, ;here was a demonstration in the crowded court room. Many of those ^resent cheered and clapped their lands. When rhe jury filed in young Element straightened up, his muscles lightened and his face whitened. ftTien he heard bis fate, he fell over )n the breast of his aged mother veeping. The Pendleton girl regained ler composure, and when the verlict was announced, she sank into :er chair as if relieved of a great strain. The face of her mother, Mrs. T. H. Pendle:on of Durham, lightened jp with joy. In summing up the evidence the awyers consumed pratically the .vhole day in arguments to the jury, rhe speches are said to have been ;he most eloquent ever heard in the Spartanburg county court hcuse. Counsel for Clement will probably nake an appeal for a .new trial. .Judge Shipp reserved sentence. In her testimony the girl admitted hat she accompanied Clement to the nill pond on the night of January 50, but she denied ihat she knew ,vhat was to be the fate of the baby, she claimed that she came from Greenville to Spartanburg under the supposition that she was to marry Element, and that he was taking her o a boarding house. Clement in his testimony asserted hat he accompanied the girl to Law ;on's Fork, but lie was under the opinon that they were to discuss their predicament. He testified that the 3endleton girl suddenly threw the )aby over the side cf the bridge beore he could scop her. Both the defendants testified that hey did not report the murder because each desired to shield the other. The body of the infant was discovered on the morning of January 51 by "Buck'' Seay, the miller, and he girl and Clement were arrested ilmost simultaneously on February 3, ;he former in a local boarding house md the latter as he was nearing the S'orth Carolina line on bis way h"me. wnen tae as?ea moiaer ui t/ijae Caldwell Clemen: was led to a waiting iutomobile to take her to her home in Polk county, X.

Would Hrinur Everybody Into i'eflce (.'onit'reuce?High Hopes That Tangle Will be Solved. Washington. April '2'.).?-The scope of mediation plans for the settlement of the Mexican crisis was suddenly broaded tonight so as to include the entire range of Mexican affairs?jiot alone the critical issue between the United States and Huerta regime, but also tlie conflict between tne elements of northern and southern Mexico which has rent the republic for many months. cio-nol Anloronmnr?f nf fVm moH i iii^ oi^iiai v/i luv/ IUVU iation programme followed the receipt late today of a formal acceptance by Gen. Carranza, chief of the constitutionalists, of.the principle of medialion as proposed by the ambassador from Brazil and the ministers from Argentina and Chile. Already the United States and Gen. Huerta had formally accepted the good offices of these South American envoys and now, as a turtaer step, Gen. Carranza has been brought into the deliberations so is to draw every element and faction within the range cf any settlement v hich may b.e attained. Earlier in the day the media;ors made another decisive move, in asking the LTni:ed States and Gen. Huerta to agree to an armistice by which all aggressive military measures would be suspended pending the outcome of the negonations. The mediators con-' fident'y expect botii sides to accept the armistice proposal. A separate proposal for an armistice between Huerta and Carranza also will be niade^and wi&i its acceptance ali ille warring elements throughout Mexico as well as the American forces would maintain a military status quo. The American government in its formal reply to tlie armistice proposai will stipulate expressly that any untoward ac toward Americans will be regarded as an infraction of the armistice. The South American envoys were in sessi m throughout the day. During the evening the envoys individually conferred with their colleagues in the diplomatic corps from Central and South America. This emphasized wha: the mediators have been seeking?a purely American settlement of a crisis which- affects th.e political integrity of all Spanish America. The patriotic unity of all Mexico and all Latin America was expected to give a signal evidence to the world at large, a.id particularly to Europe, of what the A-nerican republics could do for the trar.quiii.} of the Western hemisphere at a time of supreme crisis. Word of Gen. Carr??pza's acceptance of the tender of good cffices looking toward mediation came in a telegram tr> thp three South American envoys, who informed Secretary Bryan, who made the formal announcement at the 9ta:e department. It generally had been supposed that the intermediaries would confine their efforts to a settlement of the differences arising between the United States and the Huerta government as a result of the arrest of American sailers at Tampico and the seizure of Vera Cruz. But it developed that while they were prepared to concentrate their attention on averting hostilities between Gen. Huer:a and the United States, the envoys were quietly endeavoring to include in the scope I o: their mediation the constitutionalists, so that all elements might be brought into harmony for a pacific settlement. In this connection it was recalled that the American government's reply to the tender of good offices made this i significaat statement: "This government hopes most earnestly that you may find those who speak for the several elements of the Mexican people willing and ready to discuss terms of satisfactory and 'herefore permanent settlement." President Wi'son and Secretary Bryan were pleased at the entry of Geo. Carranza and the constitutionalists in the peace plans, their hopes cf a broad and satisfactory adjust m 'ii' of the present crisis being raised ro a degree o:' confidence which, they hither;o have not felt. The American government tonight had not made formal reply to the first proposal of the intermediaries for an I It 11 r ? ^ 1 /% A/3 /\ %% /\ I di r. uui ii uuuci muuu uxic; 1 would be made within the next 24 | hours. Tho United States has no objection to tne request for an armistice, while ;he term usually implies a suspension of hostilities during a state of war?which the United States does not recognize as existing?there has been a decision by the Washington administration ro permit no acts of aggression by the army or navy at Vera Cruz while the mediation was being carried on. In formulating an agreement to suspend hostilities, the American gov ernment, however, will stipulate that Americans in interior points of Mexico must be afforded protection. Secretary Bryan conferred only witfc the Brazilian ambassador during the . day, and from him received the formal proposal for the armistice. The report that Europe will be asked by envoys frori Argentina, Brazil and Chile to use its influence with the United States to obtain withdrawal of the question of eliminating Huerta from the proposal of the American government was met with the comment at the state department that the United States had not submitted any terms on tlie main points involved. Thus far all the proposals have come from the intermediaries, and no conditions involving \ big points in the situation have come from any of the contending parties. <e> <?
