President Johnston then introduced the
speaker of the evening, the Rev. G. 0.
Brown, of Tacoma. His subject was
''The Character We Teach" He took
Christ as the only perfect character known
in history, and proved his statement
with logical force, and illustrated it with a
learning and eloquence that made the
audience applaud even within the sacred
precincts of church. A strong thought
which the speaker presented was that even
if the Apostles had conspired to over
describe the perfection of Christ's charac-
ter, they would have failed if that charac-
ter had not been Supreme, because the
standard of the ages changes. and what
might have seemed pure to them might
have been impure in the succeeding gen.
Grafton. The speaker attributed the
worlds peace policy to the dominating
influence of the love which Christ inspires
among the hearts of all men.
