October to raise the Foreign Missions b
debt; as Superintendent of the Mission- ?
ary Department we sent for literature, n
and placed the matter before the school
as strongly as we could, closing the n
appeal with scriptural reasons for glv- 0
Ing. The following Sunday a goodly
collection was taken and forwarded for
the debt. In addition the young ladles'
class gave liberally for the same cause, j
At the meeting of the Missionary
Union of Central Mississippi Presbytery
in October; during an Intelligent discussion
of "The Debt; Shall We Re- 1
trench or Go Forward?" it was stated v
0
that fifty cents a member would pay the c
debt We returned from the Union, de- u
termlned to do our part, and presented
the matter to the Missionary Society at f
its next meeting. At first it was thought 1
we could not do It, but we finally agreed 0
to have a week of prayer and then try. ol
Being practically a country church, our 1
members were too scattered to meet a
dally, so agreed to observe a certain ^
hour at home. Our prayers were abun- F
dantly answered, as we secured more
than fifty cents per member. Not one
refused. Some gave more than fifty t
cents, and a few who did not belong c
asked to help. Being bo scattered and c
a remarkably bad winter it was Blow *
work; but prayer and perseverence con- *
quered. Through the efforts of the '
Sunday school and Missionary society
our little church has given morq, than i
$1.00 per member toward paying the c
debt without in the least interfering i
with regular contributions. Instead, ab
our knowledge of the needs Increases, t
our contributions become larger. (

little mort praying, a little more *
lanning, a little more persevering and 1
be debt will be paid. Let not tbe small
hurches think they have no part. The (
esponsibillty is on them as much as on i
ny. And they should have their share 1
i the blessing that comes from helping 2
l this way to obey the command: "Go <
e into all tbe world and preach the <
lospel to every creature."
"Why call ye me Lord, and do not
tie things which I say" (Luke 6:46).
A PLAN TO PAY THE DEBT.
I think I have discovered an easily
rorkable plan for paying at least a
irge part of the Foreign Mission debt,
[z.: let the 286,174 communicants of the
outhern Presbyterian church give at
tie rate of 35 cents per capita, and the
esult would be $100,140.90. I do not
now how much the debt has been
educed within the past few months,
ut $100,140.90 in the hands of the Comlittee
would go a long way toward
aying the debt, and the balance, whatver
it would be, would be quickly and
asily provided for.
Now is such a plan practicable? I
ave found It so in every instance in
rhich I have tried it and 1 have tried it ^
l the case of four of our little depleted,
rought-stricken, poverty-s t r i c k e n, I
hurchea In West TexaB, with the result i
bat the people easily gave at the rate y
f 35 cents per member and more. t
If 1 could have had access to a hun- >]
red or more such churches, doubtless |
ie result would have been similar. i
I can not conceive of any reason why t
11 the other churches, large and small,
ould not, and would not do likewise, ?
lutatls mutandis. i
We took no collections, but simply ]
Did the people of the urgent needs, and n
ppointed a special committee in each ]
hurch to receive funds for the purpose; j
b a result, all did more than they were =
sked to do.
Now if each of our 3,375 churches 1
rere given an opportunity to do likerise,
1 believe we would find that we
ave reached the solution of the debt
robleni.
Let the matter be laid on the heart of
he people, then let a special committee
e appointed to receive funds, at a
pecifled rate not less than 35 cents per
lember.
in the smaller churches one comuittee
would be sufflclent; in the larger
nes several committees, or one large
ae would be needed.

IN TEXAS.
Work was begun in Karnes county
be brst week in December. A student
/as piaced at Helena in that county to
live tue inree montns of bis vacation to
making a beginning tbere. A very
iromlsing start bas been made, wltb
reaching, visiting the homes, tract dlsribution
and a night school two nights
f tbe week. The pastor and members
! the Helena and Karnes City Presbyerlan
churches have been most kind
,nd liberal in the support of the work,
trrangements have been made to supily
this new field with regular preachag.
Another student was placed at Austin
o supply the .Mexican cburch of that <
ity and do work In the surrounding <
ountry. The little band of members (
ias been greatly strengthened, and the
vork there has taken & decided step j
orward. '
Just as soon as he can be had we will (
ilace an evangelist at Austin to take l
harge of the work among the Mexicans
n the Presbytery of Central Texas.
By order of the Texas. Mexican Pres>ytery
Rev. J. O. Cavazos, of Corpus
hrlstl, has opened work at Klngsvllle, j
(3*7) 19
tud will also start work at Roekport,
f the way be clear.
Rev. Miguel Peralta, until now in
:harge of the Laredo Held as an evangelist,
haa been dismissed to the Presjytery
of the City of Mexico, Synod of
dexico. That field will be under the
:are of the Home Mission Committee of
>ur Presbytery for some time, until
i suitable worker can be placed In
iharge.
The work at El Paso has been prosjering.
Additional members have been
ecelved recently and Mr. Womeldorf
las been having some of the largest
:ongregatlons In t{be history of the
vork. 4
The Sablnal church received four adilts
and four children two Sundays ago.
tnd the attendance on the preaching
services is very good.
The Hondo church received three
idults and six children last Sabbath. A
unior society of Christian Endeavor
las been organized, and an additional
slder has been elected and ordained.
The work in San Antonio has taken
>n new life and made a good beginning
or 1912.
The spring meeting of the Presbytery
vlll he held In San Antonio April 11th.
A start has been made on the build
ngs or the Industrial School. While
[911 was a poor year for our Mexican
vork, we confidently look for better
hlngs end a larger success In 1912.
Hiree of our ministerial students who
iave been In Texas return to the Semnary,

FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY
Where the Winters Are Cold and the
Snows Deep.
Writing from t'.e vicinity of David
Haruui made fam -us, a man says that
ie was an habitual coffee drinker, and,
ilthough he knew it was doing him

kept him on a couch at home when his
duty did not call h<m out.
"While in this condition Grape-Nuts
food was suggested to me and I began
:o use it. Although it was in the middle
of winter and the thermometer was
often below zero, almost my entire
living for about six weeks of severe
exposure was on Grape-Nuts food with
i little bread and butter and a cup of
hot water, till I was wise enough to
make Poetum my table beverage.
"After the first two weeks I began
to feel better and during the whole
winter I never lost a trip on my mall
route, frequently being on the road 7
or 8 hours at a time.
"The constant marvel to me waB how
\ person could do the amount of work
ind endure the fatigue and hardship
is I did, on bo small an amount of food.
But I found my new rations so perfectly
satisfactory that I have continued
them?USlne hnth Pnntum ar>A n
Nuts at every meal, and often they
eomprlse my entire meal.
"All my nervousness, Irritability and
Insomnia have disappeared and healthy,
natural sleep baa come back to me.
But what has been perhaps the greatest
surprise to me Is the fact that with
the benefit to my general health has
eome a remarkable Improvement in my
