"a Conference for the promotion O
Christian truth, life and work" is the
announcement of a series of meetings
inaugurated last evening in the Central
Baptist church. The conference is
being conducted by Rev. A. B. Simp-
son, who is the instigator of this partlc
ular phase of evangelical work. lie
came here from his home in New York
city for this especial purpose, and is ac-
companed by his wife and Miss Schep-
herd. who contribute to the success OF
the conference. Mr.. Simpson is earnest
and sincere, and he made a general i'm
preston upon the congregation. Ills
theme was 1.-The Power of the Holy
Ghost, Which TranSCendS All Things
Temporal" He urged that it is this
spirit that "makeS lives live after they
pass away" and he advised that Chris
tians are too apt to permit their own
ideas and PHILOSOPHERS to interrupt the
course of the Spirit. His doctrine is OF
the heart. and not the head.
II would let the Lord cut off my
head" said he, ''aDd | would then work
OH through my heart;" and to illustrate
this unique theory he told about the
picture of three amazingly intelligent
dogs in a cage. They had fine. large
heads. and Cooked as il they might be
professors" with classical educatiOns.
They were engaged in futile struggle
to push their heads through the bars of
the cage. A second look revealed an
other dog Ian inferior looking canine with
a dinHnutive head, tapping up the con-
tents OF a pan of milk. Thus Mr.. Simp-
son would have Christians depend less
upon their brains and more upon their
hearts, and he argued that any one who
opens his heart will receive the Holy
Ghost. The speaker rec0unted his ten
years Christian experience, and adj
verified incidentally to his secular life,
explaining that he recalls it with
trembling for the knowledge that he
would have destroyed three others
that are near and dear were it
not for his confession and baptism in
the river of the Holy Ghost. He said
that what men need is to plunge into
river that is deeper than their heads,
where they cannot walk-tO aDsOlve
themselves from self, or Il more thor
Ough negatiOn.
Mrs. MCrrell, of Minneapolis, was in
troduced after a gospel song by Miss
Schepberd. She related her expert
enceS and avOWed her absolute faith in
the power of the Holy Ghost One i'll
cldent is especially WOrtl V of mention.
Her waSherWOman came one day aud
found everything at skies and sevens,
SO to speak, and no preparations for the
necessary domestic duties. But she
found Mrs. MOrrell and her adopted
daughter SO happy that the washer
woman exclaimed:
TO be so happy you must be the
Almlghty's people"
Christian people are happy re-
piled Mrs. Morrcll, and the third time
the woman called she was completely
converted from Catholicism to Protest
antism. Mrs. MOrrell one day debated
IN her mind what was her duty-to
work on a typewriter or to visit a sister
III need. She sat down to the type
writer with the promise,
''Oh. Lord, tell me what you want me
to do! Ii | make mistake l know you
want me to go. If not, I'Il stay and
work.
She wrote three lines and made a
Slight mistake, and thereby she knew
the command OF the Lord. and went to
the sister, whom she found praying:
"Oh, Lord, l thank Thee for the cloak
You are going to send me-"
Mrs. MOrrell went directly to a gentle
man who promised 10 buy the cloak.
MISS Schepherd was the next speaker,
and she implOred the gathering to open
their hearts TO the admission of Jesus
Christ. She said the thirteenth chapter
of Corinthians is the hardest the Chris
tian has, and if he can bear that-n0t
grin and bear it, for she doubted if
God wanted any body to grin and bear
it-but rejoice and bear 1.-THE test is
complete. She related, i'm pretty but
simple language, experiences she had
met with in evangelical work, and de-
scubed her Superlatiye happiness.
Mrs. Simpson also testified to the hap
plnesS she absorbed from the Holy
Ghost. Hers had been Christian life
OF bieSSedness from earliest childhood.
The conference will continue over
until Monday afternoon. There will be
three meetings today. Miss Schepherd
is engaged to relate the incidents con-
nected with her conversion at the SEES
sion beginning at p. ~, and it is in
tended for young people.
