M'CLARY,s WISE WORDS.
"A st. Paul Minister'S Plain Talk
at Red Rock


The skies wept copiousIy OH the camp
yesterday morning, and then, to be con-
trary to the clouds, cleared away and
the sun smiled again on the jealous
worShipers. Train and boat did their
duty yesterday in adding more Sympa-
thizers to the cause, and all day
glad song and earnest addresses
warmed the hearts of the faithful.
Over fifty preachers were OH the
grounds yesterday. besides number of
evaDgelistS who come to labor in each
special service. The announcement of
the executive committee that the Ses-
sion will be extended three days is al
ready having its effect, as many who
could not come SO early are now pre-
pairing to move in tor the extra session.
The noted Bishop Taylor. who is eX-
pected, will draw hundreds more to the
grounds than otherwise.
The anniversary of the WOmen's For
eign Missionary society Of the state Is
announced for today at 4 p. III. Mrs. E..
n. WoievPr, conference secretary, will

The meetings yesterday began with a
prayer and testimony meeting, led by
Mr.. KInne, of Minneapolis. Rev. DR..
Sweet led speaking service at $3.50, al
which several local divines gave short
addresses. There was large audience,
among whom were many prominent
diyines. AT the 1920 o'clock service,
Rev. Thomas McClary, of st.
Paul, delivered sermon on "The
Strength and Weakness Of the Church."
his theme being the all popular ques-
ton Of church union. He believed that
| one weakness was the divided condition
| of the church, and that another was the
| lack Of work in the parish by the in
telligent business men of the church.
| lie believed that too many ignorant and
unprlncipled men had hold Oh the
church.
The spirituality of the church." said
Mr.. McClary, ''should apply to every
thing of interest. mankind, social, labor
and political. Different denominations
should work more iii union, and small
towns would not be overcrowded with
so many churches that can hardly be
supported. One church. we'll supported
aud doing gCod work, is much better
than many barely alive. Let US, too,
DulIu our CHURCHES Ill the business pOt-
tons as well as on the outskirts. Let
us have them near the theaters, hotels
and even in the lowest parts of our
large cities, and so reach the needy
masses of humanity"
