of Local Home Missions should make

AN OF THE SOUTH
State which has been overlooked. We
read much of the mountain work of our
Assembly, and we rejoice to know of
the noble labors and glorious accomplishments
of those laboring in this
work east of the river. But we feel
that the need of the great Ozark region
ought to be at least recognized,
mnntinnntl ar\A nrnconfod in il?n nlmmh
for Its prayers and interest. We have
in Arkansas and Missouri a mountain
territory second in extent and importance
to none within the bounds of our
Assembly. It is time that it becamo
known that Arkansas is not a land of
swamps. It is so only in small and
scattered sections, and nearly halt the
State is mountainous. These are not
mere hills, but are. real mountains, and
contain the highest peak between the
Alleghenies and the Rockies. They are
peopled by a race as pure of blood as
.1 I., Aii . ? i rl mu.
v im uc luiiitu in ctii uut laiiu. i lit.' iuitives
are largely Scotch and ScotchIrish
In descent, and present the same
appeal and the same opportunity as d >
those of the Far East. And now is
the time to take this land. For several
years, the schools of all this country
nave been improving rapidly, and are
now remarkably good. We pay better
salaries than are paid in the Atlantic
Coast States, and conseuently can have
better schools The present generation
can appreciate, and demands, something
better in the way of religious advantages
than they nave, as a rule, had
heretofore. Pre^byterianism appeals to
mem on mat account, it win not De
long before the other denominations
will be sending their educated preachers
into tills country, and our chance
will be largely gone. But give us the
men in the mountains of Arkansas now,
and we will. In the next five years,
plant the 'blue banner of God's eternal
covenant upon the everlasting hills
from Mammoth Springs to Caddo Gap.
Up to this time, tliis is almost absolutely
untouched grounds sc far as our Assembly
is concerned. In our States,
three Presbyteries are reaching out
as they can, but are not able to T>ut
more than four or five men in the field,
and can not begin to furnish the adequate
equipment of men or means.
Something is being done hy the Presbyteries
and Synods of Missouri, but
nothing commensurate with the need.
So far as I have been able to find, this
is by far the largest untouched territory
within the limits of our Assembly,
and as such is certainly entitled to
serious consideration. It is a menace
as well as a challenge. When the Federal
government undertook to break
the fori e of the Confederacy, one of its
thief objects was to cut off the Eastern
States from the sources of supply 1n
the West. To this end. Hanks was sent
up the Red River, ilie Federal forces
were sent south past Tea Ridge into
Arkansas, and the most desperate attempts
were mad.; to gain control of
Ihe Mississippi. When this end was accomplished,
the backbone of the Confederacy
was broken. Now, the Ozark
mountains stand almost exactly half.vay
between the eastern and western
boundaries of our Assembly. If allow?
ml to remain unevaiigelized, so far as
our church is concerned, they will pre"
sent a continual obstacle to our unity
and i rogress. Tliesc aie some of the
-easons why we feel that it i3 imperative
that the Church hoi* the call ol
on r mountains, and whv we should crs
for a xan of ability and gra.ee to arise
and become the apostle of tbe Ozarks.
The importance of Arkansas as r
Home Mission field has never heen generally
i-ecogni/ed. I sugigested this U
some one at Memphis, and the idea waf
waved away with a shrile and a refer
ence to Texas and Oklahoma. This ii
the common attitude. There are grea
empires to the west of us, and they hav<
great futures before them. Booms ar<
plentiful out there, and real growth is

rapidly going on. But these States by
no means surpass our own, if they equal
it. in the rapidity of its substantial and
enduring progress. Immigrants arc
pouring into our bounds from the West
as well as from the East and North.
Our resources are almost untouched. 1
have seen a man bring to my town from
Creasy Cove rooks on which the copper
ore stood out like sweat on the laborers
brow at noon. The mine will be developed
when the raiiroad com.es. I have
seen a few miles above Wonible, in the
mountains, what is said to be the largest
known deposit of merchantable slate
lor electrical purposes. Nearly half a
million dollars lias been spent here, and
they are only waiting for the railroad
to come to move the products of the
mill, l^ast week I passed through
Kimberley, Arkansas, where diamonds
are now actually being mined. It is
said that no place of equal area has yet
been discovered which contains such a
diversity and wealth of minerals and
precious stones as does Arkansas. And
T. have not even mentioned the unsurpassed
excellence of our agricultural
i-egions, where rice and cotton, poaches
and corn, apples and strawberries, alfalfa
and melons and small grains and
garden truck, all in abundant quantities.
bear testimony to rich soils of
many kinds. These conditions are
bringing a host of immigrants. There
are new railroads and rumors of railroads
all about us. I live at the terminus
of the line going north into the
heart of the Ozarks, and look with longing
eyes to the great land beyond yet
unpossessed. We must take the cliurch
into this country now, or lose our
chance within the next few years.
It is for the Secretary of local Home
Missions to let these facts be known,
and to teach the women of Arkansas
how to be useful at home, meeting our
peculiar difbcultics and overcoming our
peculiar evils. In all these ways, and
in many others that might be mentioned,
the Synodical may help to enlarge
the work of the women.

Presbyterials. In the very nature of the
case, the Presbyterials are strengthened
and made much less liable to dissolution

Mnn and Wife Fatten on Grape-Nuts.
The notion that meat is neccesary for

as formerly.

kind of poison that acts upon the blood
and nerves, thus getting all through
the system.
"I was a heavy meat eater," writes
an Ills, man, "and up to two years ago,
was in very poor health. I suffered
with indigestion so that I only weighed
% pounds.
"Then I heard about Grape-Nuts food
and decided to try it. My wife laughed
at me at first, but when I gained
te 125 pounds and felt so fine, she
thought she -would eat Grape-Nuts, top.
"Now she Is fat and well and has gain,

any more and seldom feel the
desire for meat,

r troubled wljth indigestion for years,
, and was a heavy meat eater. Now since
he has been eating Grape-Nuts regularly,
he says ho is well and never has

have rid themselves of indigestion by

' Grape-Nuts." "There's a Reason."
