taking caibolio acid on July 11,
1905, created a sensation at the
time. The hotly was exhumed by

KEEP COMMISSION'S REPORT.
THE PASTORS CONFERENCE.
The wtiole of each session of the
Pastors' Conference from start
to finish was unique and well di
reoted. It was in everyway a suo
cessful convention, packed full
life and business in which Jesus
Christ was the specific center o
attraction, or, to put it in other
words, Jesus Christ was the hub,
the preachers and visitors were the
spokes fitting in the hub and the
Spirit of love unified and bound
them together as the rim around a
wheel binds it and makes it strong
It was well attended and all o
A 1 1 1 0
tne speeones were euiryine ana
uplifting.
It is a source of real joy to have
the honor of meeting in such
way with the elders and brethren
i i i i i
in general ana to nave tne rea
presence of God so vividly mani
fested. Those who did not attend
have missed a great deal.
One ot the decisions centered
in the fact that we believe the Bi
hie teaches that the Lord's people
should give not less than one tenth
of their income to His cause.
And still another beautiful sen
timent grew into a vital reality in
encouraging our people to pray
very earnestly for a great religious
awakening in our midst.
There are many other things
that might be said about what
took place in the "Pastors' Con
ference,'' but we will not clafti
more of your space.
Pastor Durham is a jewel of a
man and has a fine flock to work
with. They entertained the Con
ference in an exceptionally fine
way. We bow in gratitude to them
for their excellent hospitality, and
in the providence of the Lord
promise to visit them again in the
coming March. Blessings upon
all. J. M. Fleminer.
Secretary Wilson Shows It was

Washington, Jan. 19. Secreta
ry Wilson, referring to the report
of the Keep Commission today de
clared that many of the changes
suggested by the commission ac
tually had been made in the De
partment and were now and had
been foj: a long time in force. He
declared that the increased sphere
of usefulness of the State agents
was no new idea, as it had origi
nated in his Department and he
needed only the necessary addi
tional appropriation to put it into
effect. The proposition, however,
to do away with the 85,000 corre
spondents, he said was radical, and
one which needed careful consider
ation. He pointed with pride to
the small fractions of difference
between the Department's esti
mates of the production of cot
ton and these of the census
bureau based on the ginners' re
ports. Concerning the personnel
of the crop estimating board, Sec
retary W ilson said be had about
