& BAPTIST UNION 11IXTING,
The Baptist tJnkra Meeting.
April 27-29,: 1906, promises to be
one of unusual interest, having a
well arranged program by which
to be governed. r ':
Long Branch church is situ
ated on the Creek roadabout six
miles south of Lumberton, and
among the best in the county.
Bro. LP. Hedgpeth has been
the under-shepherd of this good
people for quite a number of
years, and holding their un
shaken, confidence no man is loved
more than he.
' The brethren have planned for
a new, "up-to-date house of wor
ship, and already the material is
on the grounds and the money in
sight to pay for its building. The
people of this section are frugal
in their habits, yet liberal and
consecrated, patriotic and indus
trious. The chief object of this Union
meeting is to promote the Sun
day school work of the Associ-.
ation. This work is of special
importance and deserves especial
emphasis. The Robeson Asso
ciation is composed of 46 Baptist
churches with a membership of
5,030. The Sunday school column
adds up 3, 116. Prom a statistica
view- point, only half of this num-
erwe members of the churches.
A sad spectacle to-be-sure! 3,472
"Baptists in Robeson, who are not
enlisted in the Sunday school
work.
How to reach them is the mo
mentous question;
We would in closing advise
the clerks that an up-to-date sta
tistical report from each church
is expected. . This was urged at
the Union Meeting at Ten Mile
in December. Not tfoat these re
ports will be pnbKcly read, but
that a digest of them may show
the spiritual and financial condi
tion of the Association.
Let each churoh be faithf ully
represented by (delegates who
will remain through the entire
meetings. J. M. Flemjung.

Somebody wants to know if
boots are jQade any more. They
are, answers the St. Louis Star
Chronicle. Your Uncle Hiram,
who will be 81 his next birthday
and who flouts all new fangled
things from automobiles to patent
eoi4i shelters, wears boots. He
says the rheumatism wonld be
the death of him without calf-skin
coverings. There is still a limited
market for bootjacks. . If you will
study the foot covering of men and
women for the last century you
will be surprised to see how sensi
ble folks are getting. We wear
shoes instead of boots because
they 'are neater, more comforta
ble, less 'expensive and not
clumsy. It would be next to im
XKifisible for Dame Fashion to
make s get to boots. Henry
Plantagenet, duke of Anjou, wore
shoes the points of which were
two feet in length. That was for
the purpose of hiding an excres
cence on one of his royal feet. Peo
ple who had ao excrescences on
their feet followed unit. They
had to. In the reign of Queen
Mary square toes were the rage,
'until a roya proclamation was is-
sad that no shoes were to be
'worn with toes more than six
inches square. 'In this city a sin

Some interesting phases of Si
berian life are described in Bara
cel Turner'aj book on that eoun
try. Of the exiles he writes 1
"When I told a Siberian friend that
I carried a revolver as a pro tec
tion against wolves, I was prompt
ly informed that I bad much more
reason to fear the human wolves 1
raightencounter,andthi, I found,
was a general view of the case.
About one-third of the criminal
exiles escape all control. Armed
with a stick, to which is attached
a strong piece of cord or catgui,
they will approach the unwary
traveler from behind, throw the
cord round his neck, and quietly
strangle him by twisting the stick,
to rob him at their leisure of what
ever he may possess, or secure his
passport in order to make their
escape from the country."-.
Great is the butter-making of
Siberia, and greater, says Mr.
Turner, it is to become a region
that might supply half mankind
with butter. "There are, how
ever, peasants who, for one rea
son or another, refuse to sell their
milk or to turn it into butter.
The owner of a farm not far from
the station of Tagai was asked by
a Danish friend why he did not sell
the milk from his 300 cows to tho
neighboring dairy. He replied
that his grandfather and his fa
ther had not sold milk before him,
and that he "saw no reason why he
should do so; he was sure the
Lord wonld not like it."
Here is a familiar picture which
the author saw from the Siberian
railway as he traveled on it, day
after day, across- the sea of
steppes: We of ten passed sledg
es going in the same direction as
our train, nnd sometimes, when
the horses took fright at the en
gine, they maintained the same
speed, as the train for consider
able distances, frequently termin
ating the race by overturning the
sledges And scattering their occu
