Matter Fully Talked About

Matter Fully Talked About.
The good literature committee met at
the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church. Rev.
W. Z. Landers of Middleton, Mass, was
chairman.
After singing "Scatter Sunshine led
by Director william Wallace, Rev. Walter
Brooks, tie pastor, offered prayer. Mr..
Landers spoke at some length in opening
the meeting, and then large number of
the committeeman from all parts Of the
country participated.
What should be read and how il should
be distributed was discussed. One COM
mitteeman told how in his town they had
made a canvass of the entire place. found
where there were no Bibles and sent one
to every home that lacked.
The question OF Sunday reading was
presented and the position was taken that
the Christian should not read the news-
paper on Sunday; nor should subscriptions
be taken nor books sold in the church on
Sunday.
1t was urged that books and periodicals
which are sent to the poor and to institu-
tions should not be old and stale. The
Bibles should be new, the books should be
of high class, full OF vigorous, vital Chris
tian thought.
The distribution of tracts In street cars
was suggested as good way tn reach
the masses. The selection of reading was
talked of and the names of books and
authors best suited to Christian Endeavor
needs and purposes were given and taken
down in note books.
A fund for the supply of money to the
committees In the societies was spoken
or and the means of raising it was dis
cussed.

pated In by nearly all, the ladies present
ing some valuable thoughts nd views upon
the very important subject. The uues.
ton OF institution work was one of the

probable that a greater effort will be m ade
by the unions in this direction.
During the progress Of the meeting there
were number Of views presented as being
worthy OF approval and encoura cement
but the one thing, the one idea that
brought the most satisfactory results was
earnest prayer. Before closing Dr.. Domer

Conferred on Plans and Methods of
Attaining the Best Results-Novel
Idens Advanced and Profitable Ses-
siOns Held.

had fine weather, though still II little sultry,

twenty -one in all, six Officers conferences

ferenccs from $50 to $50; andlfive meet
ings of adjunct societies on advance En-
deavorer lines. hrs,
In these gatherings the delegates meet
each other face to face and all have some
thing to say and something to learn. They
are more like the local society meetings
where each Endeavorer is expected to be
full of life, thought, talk, activity, recep-
tivity.
A lightning like exchange OF ideas In
them brings California In touch with New
York, and Canada with Texas. The best
from every direction is taken and the result
is the Improvement of Endeavor methods
in all parts of the country, while the society
is kept homogeneous and harmonious.
The Officers meetings especially were
alive with new thoughts, plans, methods,
ways and means.

OF what Is done at Falmouth.
Mrs. Cassera, missionary In New York

bringing the sailors into the churches. At
the place where she labored twelve had
been brought in during tile current year
Another lady from the same place said
they were supported by penuy-a-week con-
tributions from Eudeavor societies.
A young sailor told how lie was reached,
and said: "You must not stand on the top
OF ten-story building and reach gingerly
down into the mire to save poor Jack. You
must get plumb down with him and help
him up"
A marine on the q. s. ship Ne W York spoke
of the need OF Christian help for the sailor
rather than SO 900 silver service, and a
lady responded that an Iowa man lad
observed that the men were benefited very
little by the silver service, and had begun
raising TuDd Tor line library Ior tue
ship Iowa.
Mrs. Gen. Kelton, widow OF the late
adjutant general OF the army, was present
as corresponding secretary OF the Army
and Navy Society. She asked that all COM

use OF the men to two United States ships
and were preparing to supply others.

Iife-saver that ever lived" Then there
followed series Of very realistic pictures
illustrating the different phases Of life at
sea, emphasizing the great Importance
and heroism Of q lifc-sayer's work and de-
picting the hardships incident thereto.
1t was evident that the exhibition ard
the accompanying remarks made great
impression on the auditors, who will doubt
less give tangible and substantial express
sion sof their interest much to the benefit
OF those most concerned.
After the exhibition q meeting of repre-
sentatives OF different States was held to
