very we'll chosen.
The speaker believed that the world
had no patent right on the amusements
and snjoyments that Epworth Leaguers
could enjoy without elm.
The hope of the church is in it's
laa l. s.--
highly commended.
The paper was warmly spplsudsd. It
bristled with atrong points.
Miss May Kimball read q paper ON
The Unchurched Multitude and Our
Attitude Towards Them. The multi
tude is great. Shall we let them per-
ish? What can we do to save them?
Talk about religious truths to those
around you and tell them it is blessed
to walk with Jesus.
Wear an Epworth pin wherever you
go, but without long face. The paper
made many to resolve to be more faith
| ful to their pledge and did much good.
| The highest standard OF new tesla.
ment experience and life, was the theme
OF Mrs. j. B, Hollawsy of Grangeville.
The paper was direct and carefully pre-
pared. The highest standard can only
be attained by attention to the ordinary
duties as the reading of the words, the
use of prayer, public and private. The
thoughts were very instructive and help
full.

beautiful solos with the large congrega-
/ tion joining in the chorus.

church, was enlarged upon and illus
trated by E. E. Hall OF Ventura.
The address was clear, brief and logi-
cal and was loudly applauded.
| Mr.. Jeffry, the chorister of First
church. sung sweet song about Chris
tian duty and privilege.
Bishop Fitzgerald arrived little late,
but consented to speak.
"Why have young peoples denomi-
national society,"" was the question
asked and treated. The same reasons
that would be given for a denomina-
tional Sunday school or denomina-
tional church. Union institutions do
not succeed well. The stronger should
have the ascendancy. The Lords
prayer for unity has besn answered, al
though there are many departments.
This point was beautifully illustrated by
referring to the army, with its cavalry,
infantry and artillery. These are all
one, and for the defense of the nation.
They are not antagonists, but workers
in the same great campaign. The
Methodists, coming by land, and the
Baptists. coming by water, unite in say
ing the enemy must go down. He
would not have them in one denomina-
tion today if he could. They work bet
ter in their several places.
| The Epworth leaguers are to be the
officials of the church in the future. and
so must be skilled apprentices when
they are needed. Let us stand for our
church, and that does not exclude fra
ternity. We work to exalt our Christ,
and bid God-speed to all.
Rev. s. A. Kean, d. D., took charge of
the services, although his hour was al
ready almost gone. He soon had the
merry, restless congregation we'll in
hand. His expositions were more in
spring and helpful than usual.

fectively pathetic solo.
DR.. Bresee, in introducing DR.. Phil
| lips, uoan OF the cOlioEe Ol HUorai hrtet
said that the board of regents congratu-
lated themselves and the patrons that
they had been able to induce such an
able educator to take charge of the edu-
cational work.
DR.. Phillips eulogized and emphasized
! the nigh position OF the teacher. He
said that he started in Pennsylvania and
moved to Michigan, and to better Illi-
nois, Iowa, Kansas. and finally to far
better California.
The church cannot afford to permit
her young people to be educated in the
school of indifference. The Christian
church must make her work of educas
tion 80 attractive and efficient that her
children will not be attracted by the
fascination OF the secular schools.
We want an institution that will have
the glory OF God on every. test tube, and
