The afternoon session WAS called to
order at 2 O'Clock.

Was hington spoke from the subject,
''Enlisting Mole Workers" He stated
that there is one word III the Christians
vocabulary that is just as important as
faith or repentance, confession or baptism.
and that word is "Work." "The Chris
tian church is measuring its progress by
inches, which is not in keeping with the
progress of the world. Action is neces-
sary for the enlargement of the church
and for the enlistment OF new
workers" The speaker also stated
that many young men are discouraged
from entering the ministry because the
preachers of today are always complainant
of the Sacrifices they have to makei when
if they were not preaching they would be
digging potatoes for living"
j. C. Coggins followed this with an ad-
dress upon Fellowship; Its Obligations
and Methods
1.-The church of Jesus Christ is one Of
Gods powerful thoughts and it
will be developed. The day has no. dawn
ed when we shall place enough emphasis
upon fellowship. There is something in
every man worthy of our attention to
gain for him salvation. There will be 20
family ties in Heaven, but all will be
brethren in Christ"
". H. Hook of Caldwell spoke on Eel
lowshid; its purpose and results"
tine grand result of fellowship will be
no bankrupt church treasures. the preach
ers would be paid and the church
would have money enough to endow its
schools and orphaus' homes. The church
of God is one great family and 1T will in
crease in power so long AS it continues
steadfastly in Christian worship"
This address was followed by solo by
E. I. Davis of Saliaa.
Professor II. B Scott, professor of math-
ematice in Garfield university. followed
with an address upon the subject The
Christian Element in Education"
He said: ''The one great need
of the human soul and the
all along the line of course Of study is
Jesus Christ. Christianity and education
should go together. Education without
Christ is like solar system without a
SUM-" Above teacher and apparatus is the
man himself aud above all il the human
soul. The life of the child should he de-
veloped spiritually as we'll as mentally.
The doctrine of Christ should be Inculcated
in the life of the student. The teacher
can do Ms much good at his desk as the
minister In his pulpit. Teach the religion
of Christ as part of the best educ .tion
because it will develop the moral life to
its best form. 1t Is almost impossible to
convert young ma n or woman after COM
plotting college course.
