I want to congratulate your community and the secretaries, Mr. Harms and Mr. Michel, who, by their energy made possible this splendid gathering. I think we ought to have a petetition of this every year for the next ten years. It is a great thing to get together, when we find how much alike we are, how much we can help each other by common experiences and common aspirations. Men of so many different communions taking part in this session and every session of this convention, and yet all feeling that we are one in our attitude toward Christ and one in our desire to 6ee Christ made King of the World. It wouldn't be hard to work up a convention next year, if you men here decide to register now and bring 700 men with you. "There are two possible Interpretations of what Christ meant when He said "Go ye into all the world and make disciples of all nations." The first interpretation, Christ meant us to do something in the way of spreading the Gospel. He wants us at least to take up a collection, but would not like us to strain ourselves, if we had some place else for our money, but we will do a little, will let our children do a little more and our grandchildren do a little more and some time, way otf in the future, the Gospel will uiL au tuiuic vvs7k9. mil spread throughout all the world. How many of us would say. that is nractically our working theory. Other Interpretation. "The other interpretaUon of the Great Commission is that when Christ said 'preach the Jospel to every crea-

TOOK A MATCH 111 HUNT FOR SKATES Little Miss Parker Accidentally Started Fire at Parsonage. "No, mother, I'll never light anuzzer match. No I won't honest, mother, frantically sobbed three-year-old Carolyn Parker, daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. B. E. Parker, as she clung terrified to Mrs. Parker while the smoke poured out of a closet of the living room of the First M. E. church parsonage, South Fourteenth and Main streets, and then rolled forth in clouds out of open doors and windows. - Considerable loss was sustained through the burning of coats, overcoats, furs and hats, but the house was not damaged, owing to the prompt discovery of the blaze by a maid and the fast run made by the fire departments. Late yesterday afternoon while her mother was out of the house and her father was in his study little Miss Carolyn decided she would put on her skates, so she secured a match and entered the closet exploring for them. Immediately the blaze from the match ignited a fur boa and almost instantly there was a lively fire raging. The screams of Miss Carolyn attracted the maid in the kitchen and she gave the alarm. The clanging gongs of the fire department wagons, the tongues of flame and the dense smoke all contributed to make Carolyn a very much agitated little miss and even the reassuring words of the firemen and reporters failed to check her sobs, but she appeared to obtain much solace by repeatedly assuring her mother, who had

hurried home, that she would never experiment with treacherous matches again. CHARGES DESERTION Ethel Keene Asks a Divorce from Asa Keene.

The Young Turks ministry today or dered all Turkish delegates to the peace conference at London to leav immediately for this city. LONDON. Jan. 31. Although th representatives of the Balkan allies served notice that hostilities against Turkey will be resumed Monday, hop existed among the foreign ambassa dors that further warfare might be averted when they met today to consider formally the reply of the Young Turk government in reply to the collective note of the powers. M. Paul Cambon. the French ambassador to England pointed out that the Turkish note is moderately worded and leaves the way clear for further negoUatlons which would probably result In more concessions from the Pdrte to the allies. "We fervently hope to be able to avert further fighting in the Bajkans" said M. Cambon. This made it plain that the ambassadors were consider, ing every method of forestalling the hosUlities the allies have promised to precipitate. The Turkish peace envoys, who have been recalled by the Porte, are leaving one of their number behind in j London. This was considered signifi cant in view of the fact that the allies are doing the same thing. It is believ ed by many officials who are conver sant with conditions in Turkey that the Porte Is really anxious to avoid' continuance of the war because of the mutiny in the Turkish army and the' insecurity of the Mahmud Shevket cabinet. If war is resumed, however, in spite of the protests of the powers, every power will see to it that the scope of activities Is limited.
