It was said efforts were being made to get the Northern Baptists now in session at Minneapolis, Minn., to meet next year in the Missouri city. New Orleans, Hot Springs and several other Southern cities also are seeking to entertain the Southern Baptists in 1917. The report of the Sunday-school board, presented today, showed total receipts of $452,729, with a balance on hand of more than $30,000. The ^ foreign mission board announced completion of the Judson centennial fund of $1,250,000 for aiding foreign missions. * Tonight's session was devoted chiefly to the sermon of the convention, preached by the Rev. Dr. Chas. W. Daniel, of Atlanta. Foreign Mission Report. Southern Baptists decline to enter into a union with other denominaftions in foreign mission work for reasons summarized in a report made today to the convention by the for * it S. sign mission board, as ioiiows; Arbitrary territorial divisions for F f missionary operations proposed by f * federation are opposed. Proposed agreement for an interim change of church letters are held to k be contrary to recognized custom among Baptist churches of the South. The board considers it of primary importance that it control, or control jointly with other Baptist bodies, the '2.,- religious instructions given to boys * and girls entrusted to its care, jf \ A policy abroad consistent with denominational policy at home is ^ strongly favored. t The foreign mission board points out that this question, which has caused some sharp discussions in the convention for several sessions, is dlosely allied to the church union fe question. The board reports the most successful year in the history of the church's foreign missions. Converts baptized numbered 6,471 and seventy-seven new churches were organiz-V ed. Missionaries number 315, 133 men and 182 women. A foreign 1 . membership of 42,630 is organized : into 459 churches, ninety-five of which are self-sustaining. Native Christians contributed $129,561 to * sustain the work last year. The misf sionaries have 694 native helpers. Sunday-schools flourish, the 402 schools having 10,490 scholars. There are 453 mission schools with 13,531 students. Six of the mission schools are devoted to Bible training of women, there being 191 students. Jjk Nineteen medical missionaries treatftJt ed 74,866 patients in nine hospital y buildings and ten dispensaries. j Enormous growth of the Southern Baptist church is disclosed-by the report made today to the convention ^ by Dr. Lansing Burrows. The memV hership has reached the great total f of 2,685,552, of which 168,235 have been added since the last session. . During the year 20,988 have died. | The Baptist population of the world I is placed at 7,141,413. There are 24,451 Baptist churches smith nf Mason and Dixon's line, with 18,075 Sunday-schools, showing a b total enrolment of 1,760,802. The I churches own property valued at $58,319,638. The prosperity of the membership ^ is further reflected in the sum of $12,281,765 contributed during the L year for church work. Of this amount $9,564,222 was raised for home expenses and $1,699,445 for THEORIES ABOUT THE MOON. Queer Superstitions Among the Chi nese and Siamese. A great many curious ideas exis in various parts of the world regard ing the dark spots in the moon's disk In the eastern part of Asia the spot are believed to be a rabbit or a hare the Chinese, in particular, look upoi them as a hare sitting up and pound ing rice in a mortar, says the Phila delphia Ledger. Most of the Siamese take the same view. Some few, how ever, see in the moon a man and wo man working in a field. Curiousl: enough, the North American Indian! have almost the same superstition ai the Chinese and on old monument in Central An^erica the moon appear as a jug or vessel, out of which ai animal like a rabbit is jumping. The South American Indians, oi the other hand, believe that a girl who had fallen in love with the moon sprang upward toward it, was caugh and kept by it, and that is her figur which is seen on the moon's face. The Samoan islanders look on th spots as representing a woman carry ing a child, and many other southen peoples have similar beliefs, the wc man and child sometimes being alter ed into an old woman bearing a bur den on her back. The Eskimos hav an original superstition. They sa that one day Aniga, the moon, chase his sister, the sun, in wrath; just a he was about to catch her, howevei she suddenly turned around an threw a great handful of soot in hi face and thus escaped him and c that soot he bears the traces to thi day. The inhabitants of northwester * * * - ~ ? ^ /v m AAn ' India, wno accoum iur uo muuu monthly disappearance by declarin that she is burnt* up regularly and r? placed by a fresh moon, explain th dark spots by saying they are ashe of the former moon. Other nations explain her disaj pearance in various ways; the Dakot Indians have it that she is eaten u by mice; the Polynesian superstitio is that the souls of the dead feed o her; according to the Hottentots, th moon suffers from headache, an when it gets very bad she hides he head with her hand and covers u her face from the gaze of%the world the Eskimos maintain that after shir ing for three weeks she gets tire and hungry, and withdraws to tak one enormous meal after their ow fashion, and then reappears and b? gins to shine again. A KANSAS DETECTIVE. Man He Captured Wept on His Nec and Confessed. John Lincoln* wanted in Daytoi Ohio, for wife abandonment, was ai rested in Parsons Tuesday, says th Parsons (Kansas) Sun, word cam from Dayton to Parsons .that Lincol was in the vicinity and that he was decorator by trade. Special Officer John Wall was gii en the warrant. Last night Mr. Wa was in a pool room , and saw a ma wuu ouisncicu m uctan mo uoown tion. H? figured that he was a ma who had been receiving his mail a J. B. Jones. Approaching the man, he state that he was in need of some paintin and decorating and wished him t figure on it. After a short convei sation Wall turned suddenly an said: "How much will you do thi work for, Lincoln?" The man's face went white and hj knees began to shake. Tremblingl he inquired who Wall might be tha he should call him Lincoln. The answer was a flipping back c a coat and the display of the tell-tal star of authority. "Now you know who I am," sai Mr. Wall, "and the sooner you adm: you are wanted for wife abandor ment in Dayton, Ohio, the easier i will be for you." With that the man broke dow 3 J 3 X 11 __VV_ J HC. ana ciieu, auiuauy souueu uu i*ij Wall's shoulder, and confessed. Hutchinson were declared electe temporary secretaries. Col. D. S. Henderson, of Aikei missions. Negro Baptists in the United State number 6,133,094, of which 2,128 880 live in the South. A year of achievement, the mos successful in the history of the Wc man's Missionary union, was reporl ed today to the Southern Baptist cob vention. It was instrumental in oi ganizing more than 2,500 new union since last May and there are now te: times as many of these unions tha: there were twenty-eight years age when the Woman's Missionary unio: was first organized. One out of every six societies too' part in the January and March week of prayer for foreign and home mis sions and made special offerings fo the work. Other special offering have been made for the trainin school at Louisville, for the churc' building loan fund and for the Jud son centennial fund. The union ha undertaken the task of raising $400, 000 for the building loan fund. Th board's expenses for the year wer about $12,000. ROAD TO SUCCESS. - The Complete Mastery of One Sub ject. ? t What we need is depth, writes " J. J. Chapman in the May Atlantic. Depth can be imparted through the 3 teaching of anything. It can be imI parted through Latin grammar, 1 through handwriting, through car" penter work, through arithmetic or history. The one element required 2 is time. Depth cannot be imparted " quickly, or in many subjects at once. " Leisure is necessary?a slowing P down, a taking of things, not easily, s but slowly, determinedly, patiently? 3 as if there were plenty of time and 5 nothing else counted. This is the 5 road to rapid and brilliant work, and 1 there is no other. The smallest children should be set on this road, and 1 guided and governed and helped and ? slaved over by the best of your mas ? ters. One subject understood means t the world mastered. 6 CANDIDATES' CARDS e - ? = The rates for cards inserted under this head are as follows: For magisa trate, coroner, cotton weigher and i- county commissioner, $3.00; for all other county offices, $5.00; for congress and all State offices, $10.00.
