It every congrega tion and every individual member would realize their relation to the St. cause of missions there would be a larger giving. We must get a knowl in edge of the work that is being done and get acquainted with the great need of missions and then we shall become mora liberal in our contribu tions to the cause.

Our relation to the ican cause of missions should be personal and prayerful. We must know the spi it, character and life of the miselonary and learn of his great sacrifice SECOND -TUESDAY, 7:30 P. her Rev. Howard Obold conducted the devotional service Rev. Parson, of the Lutheran church, offered prayer, after which there were three addresses on the subject of "Wit- Mr.

nessing for Christ." The Arst was by Rev. J. D. Hicks, who mentioned four things as necessary, namely: Oourage, persistence, prayer, holiness. The address was excellent.

The second dress was by Rev. Lewis Robb, who said that the tour things mentioned were necessary, but above all we must come to know that we are only the whom flows the life J. channels through and light of the world. Sometimes channels get choked up and need to be reopened. So we as Christ's channels get choked up by sin, selfishness and unbelief and hence need to be ed by humility and prayer.

Rev. B. Heller gave the third address on the at topic. We have bad the things sary for witnessing for Cbrist and the channels of communication and now we must know that the grace of God flows through these channels of communication in the church, which is the pillar and ground of truth. We must have faith in order to witness for Christ and become channels of communication, Christ dwells in the church as the spirit dwells in the body.

This is more so to-day even than in Apostolic times. Because the church 18 gaining more power and more and more learning the wickedness that is in the world. A man leads a holy life if he is joined to Christ; then he multiplies himself twenty times for good. All our advancement and achievement we owe to Christianity. The church is always in the forefront of all progress and advancement in the world We cannot enjoy the greatest good until we make the whole world Christian.

Our sympathies are widening all the while, but there is not enough sacrifice. Look how the missionaries in India, China and Africa must make sacrifice. Let us give more for God's cause. THIRD -WEDNESDAY, 9 A.M The devotional service was conducted by Rev. D.

G. Hetrick, after which there was a business meeting and reports of the Missionary societies of classis were read by the delegates These reports were very encouraging and showed that the societies are in a flourishing condition. "The South as a Mission Field for Our Church," by Rev. B. Helier.

North Carolina has been called the Land of the Sky and it is surely promising field to our church for missionary work. The clay eaters and mountain whites are promising people for mission work. The south is a good seed-bed for moral and spiritual growlog. Then take the colored people of the south, who are much more easily controlled than the foreign element in our shops and factories of the north. They are very imitative.

Then take the industrial condition of the south and this draws men from the north and weat. Then there are 133 millions of of acres of timber land in the south to and many poor people can buy cheap homes. If Horace Greeley would be living to-day he would say, "Young man, go south." According to the amount of finances and members the Classis of North Carolina has done more than any corresponding classis of our church. North Carolina bas only two per cent. of foreign born eleat- ment in its population.

There are many persons who go south with 8 critical spirit and of course they are despised. But if people go in the right spirit they will be looked upon 88 leaders and will be respected. One thing is certain, that our church has a much better showing for the amount of money expended in the south than in the west. FOURTH SESSION-WEDNESDAY, 2 P. Devotional service by Rev B.

Bausman. Means o' Increasde- ing Our Offerings to Missions," by Rev Lewis Robb. First, we must have ourselves right toward the object for which we are contributing. Get interthe ested and then you will give liberally the We must believe that that is the sion of the church and know that it is more blessed to give than to receive the It is not the needs of the heathen that should cause us to give, but we should are ask whether we are respons b'e to give the heathen life and hope and peace Then, again, we must believe that the object itself is a worthy one. The church seldom makes mistakes.

Then, again, there come crises in church work. The present anarchy of our J. land, which led one of their number to by attempt to take the life of our chief executive is a crisis and no doubt out of this darkness will come some great May blessing. The mission board's debt is another crisis, which will arouse the consciousness of the church and out of ap- it will come blessing. The civil VA.

His death was a heavy blow to the nation. Up until within a short time of his demise encouraging reports concerning his condition came from his bedside.

After passing through the stomach the builet passed into the back walls of the abdomen, hitting and tearing the upper end of the kidThis portion of the bullet track ney. was also gangrenous, the gangrene involving the pancreas.

The bullet has not been found. "There was no sign of peritonitis or disease of other orgads The beart walls were very thin.

A DARING ATTEMPT To Kill and Rob Paymasters Souder and Kay. ONE HIGHWAYMAN KILLED Willam Fry, of Bedtord, Shot Through the -Singer Sewl Machine Agent George Cooper Arrested A bold attempt was made at Mt. Dallas Saturday morning to kill: aod Paymasters William F. Souder and Robert Kay The former is in the employ of the Colonial Iron company, Riddlesburg, the latter is manager the Morrisdale Coal company, of Coaldale. Messrs.

Souder and Key came to Bedford Friday night The next morning they drew money from banks at this place to pay the men who work for the companies above mentioned. Mr. Sonder procured $5 and Mr. Kay $1,800. They left for their respective homes on the train which arrives in Bedford at 9:25 8.

They occupied the rear car of the train, Souder sitting on the last seat with his back toward the engine and Kay on the first seat from the end the car and facing the engine, so that they commanded a view of both doors of the car. When the train stopped at Mt. Daland the trainmen of the two roads were exchanging reports Mr. Souder saw two men running down the pike, if they intended to board the train. When they came nearer he noticed that they were disguised and armed.

Before he bad time to give the alarm the two men rushed up to the car and sprang upon the platform and opened the door. One raised his revolver and, within three or four feet of Mr. Soud.r, fired, point blank, st him. The flash of the powder burned Mr. Scuder's face, but, fortunately, the bail missed him and lodged in the woodwork of the car.
