Their Names Against Them.
We are believed to beltevo that A«r

were people ao liko him aa to bear
the name of Anacla, or again Anaslan.
Tbalr descendants have to bear the
brunt of ancestral duplicity. So, Mr.
Anocrconte may perhaps trace hla de
scent back to the sweet Greek sint
er of women and wine. Not unlike

California inclusive, Greeting.
):ir U.ethren:
The time hat come when our
attention must be turned to this
western portion of our country,
first because we live in it, stcord
because like ourstlves, many of
our people are leaving other parts
of the United States and taking
up their homes in these states.
Our Lord Jesus on sending out
His discipljs said them shou’d
witness in Jerusalem, and as we
all live out here, it become our
God-given duty to turn our atten
tention to these people right a
mong us, who are not having tl e
Gospel preached to them because
many oh them live in small towns
where they have no churches and
then too, they arc not strong or
large enough in number to sup
port a minister to remain with
them as a pastor. Some of them
were Christians and were mem
bers of the church before they
came west, and they must be
oc helped, and ethers of them
were never Christians, hence, re
are called upon to edify some and
to save others, all cl which is the
work to be done by each pastor
and ntemper first in Jerusalem, his
home city and then in all Judea,
which ought to be regarded as
the state in which we live live be
cause no man is prepared to do
much elsewhere who is not doing
his doty at home. This is also
true of a church. We would
come together in this Western
Distirct and catch inspiration cne
from another in another in order
that we migU^jdo * more telling
woikat home.' There arc thou
sands in many of our cities and
home states that we have not been
moved to help because of our
lack of knowledge concerning
them, which knowledge ran only
be gotten by our contact with
each other, where we also get
such inspiration as cur Western
Baptist Convention can and will
give to all who will attend its ses
sions. Brethren and churches,
you owe this to yourselves to
come together in this great gath
ering once a year.‘and in Sama
ria, which is the United States,
if you please, through cur great
Nat’l. Baptist Convention we
should and ought to see to it
yearly that the Gcsprl be given
to every creature in America.
but our people, many of them,
who are coming into our western
teriitory are being deslroyed for
lack of knowledge. Awake t
Awake! Oh Western Baptists!
and put on thy strength for the
work is great, and we arc separa
ted in these states one from an
other. I am sounding the trum
pet of alarm and urge therefrom
that you Baptists of each state
come togher at Muskogee. Ok»a.
in July. 1914. for a better under’
standing and to devise plans to
further the kingdom of our Re- ^
deemer throughout this country,
and unto the utermos* parts o!
the etrth. through the Foreign
Mission Board, of the National
Baptist Convention, We ask al
so that each and every member
: of the Executive Board of the
Western Baptist Convention and
messengers of the included states
meet us in Nashville, Tennessee,
Thursday, Sept, 18, for a confer
encc.
I am yours for the saivatioo of
