marks.

of Illinois. His subject was: "What
next
Mr.. Reynolds said The christian edu
cation of the youth is the most important
work of today he thought 50 per cent.
Of the christians were converted in child
hood. We take young children into the
schools at an carly age and think it the
best time. Christ said Suffer little
children to come unto me-. The men
and women who are doing the most good
are those who have been religiously and
Intellectually educated, and to educate
the intellect without the morals is to
make atheists The Bible must be taught
in order that life and property may be
safe lie spoke of the Greeks as being
the best educated of any nation in certain
lines, but their hearts were corrupt and
they were not saYed from ruin We are
the riche-t nation on the face Of the
earth, but our riches will not save US :;
the Roman nation was rich but was
utterly destroyed George Washington
said hat our safety laid in the moral
education of the youth. We are not edu-
eating our youth in morals as We should,
but The South is doing better in this than
the North. The object of these meetings
is to arouse the people believe the
country is in danger; the Coxey move
ment may break out at any moment the
North i9 in state Of unrest, and it only
needs a Napoleon to raise an immense
army and do incalculable harm. We
cannot be saved from impending
evil unless God shall help us
Christians have a mission to perform.

tians were fully aroused and put the
same energy in child training that they
do in business, the ch ldren of the nation
would soon be brought into the church;
the devils army was never better or.

Mr. Reynolds here made some earnest

working in uniOnism to bring about the
end towards which they all proposed to
be tending namely, the bringing of the
world to Christ He believed that this
organization was the medium through
which they would be compactly organized
for Gods work.
Mr. Reynolds here paid a glowing trib
ute to Mr. II. N Snow. II know no man
in the country who is doing more un
selfish work than II n. Snow. He is
rare man. | know men who are getting
salary of 81 200 who are not doing as
much work as he is for nothing. Those
who know Mr.. Snow but know that this
compliment is richly deserved)'.
