"Then." continued Mr.. Yatman, 1--WE must
have a clean record to make our testimony
sure. L like the expression true blue in
this connection. Perhaps all you men folks
don't know what l mean by this expression
the women undoubtedly do. True blue means
that quality of polka dot calico by reason Of
which it won't fade when washed. Thus it is
with US. We must be true blue or the world
will see our imperfections and we shall do harm
rather than good to the cause we love-
I'm the third place Christians must have a
conscious knowledge of the supernatural By
this mean he must believe that God will an
swer his prayers if they are made believing that
they will be answered. Mr.. Yatman then re-
lated several anecdotes in this connection
which went to prove his preceding remarks
Concluding he said that not the least of the
qualifications for this great work was thorough
belief in Gods willingness to help us, for with
out it nothing could be accomplished.
OTHER TALKS.
At the conclusion of these addresses Mr.. W. g.
Macarthur, precentor Of the District Union,
sang a solo the c. E. hymn, Throw out the
life line" the audience joining in the chorus.
The effect of two thousand voices all blending
together in a grand harmony was very impress
sive as the chorus of that well-known hymn
welled from floor to gallery.
President Foster then read a number of
kilograms and letters of greeting from organiza-
tions and individuals all over the country, after
which he introduced DR.. T. S. Hamlin of the
Church OF the Covenant, who spoke briefly of
the work of c. E. societies at the life-saving sta
tons along our coasts.
Then followed the pastors hour. conducted
by DR.. Hamlin, in which large number Of
CITY pastors told what help and benefit the
c. L. Society was to them in their work. The
service concluded with the Doxology and bene-
diction by Rev. DR.. Hamln.

New York was away ahead of Washington on
underground conduits. They had over 200 miles
of them and led the country in this respect. He
found upon inquiry that they had experienced
. number of explosions in the conduits. but
under the present order of things this was
being remedied in a very ingenious way. In
all Of this years construction a pipe
for the purpose of ventilation has
been led into each manhole, forming continu-
Gus and open channel for the forcing in of
fresh air aud forcing out of gases and vapors.
Numerous places along the routes Of the sub
ways are provided with air pumps and fans, and
the result il . complete ventilation Of the
entire system. II Washington were TO follow
in the line Of New York, it would not only
cost q large amount of money, but
be matter OF great Inconvenience, as the
streets would all have to be opened where there
were conduits. He proposed making q full
report upon the subject to the Commissioner.
and would recommend that hereafter, whenever
permit was asked to lay an underground
conduit TO supulste that q ventilation pipe
should be included In the construction.
