public services they are mostly well filed
Mr.. Colcord's experience is case in point
On Sunday morning his audience is aboul
two hundred this is in church. On Sun
day afternoon his audience ~ very large in
deed this is in Chickering Hail. But prob.
ably the man is just the same, and the great
difhculty is with the place. Too much pew
door has undoubtedly aided in this result.
The truth is that while we observe the cold
| MISUNDERSTANDING methods OF a dead
orthodoxy, We might as well despair of our
churches performing their true work. We
must intensity the prayer the song and the
sermon, and make them all very sponta-
neous, and very sympathetic and very prac.

=. Among the topics of interest discussed
were "Church Extension" Education

was resolved that the churches be urged TO
promote the cause Of education, and that
missionary superintendent be appointed 10

and promising fields for fresh work. A reso-
luton was also adopted calling upon the
