Address by Rev. Mr.. Coll.
Rev George p. Coll, a missionary to Lii
IBERIA. was introduced by DIR. Clark as the
pioneer of Christian Endeavor work in the
Dark Continent. He is a young man OF
pleasing personality. and the audience fol
lowed him with the closest attention. A
he took the stand he said earnestly:

friends. If it was as hot in Africa as IL is T.

In the course of his address Mr.. Col
said:

services in this country, and our conse-
Grafton meetings are very interesting and
profitable. The junior meetings are models

Mr.. Mills went on to explain briefly the
international causes that have led to this
deplorable state of inaction on the part Of
the Christian nations. He summed up the
situation in a single sentence: Russia
wants it all and England wants part of it.
England has giveHaher most solemn treaty

Mr. Minis next spoke Of the responsibility Of
the United States. Which, he said, has had
more direct practical cause to interfere with
the affairs Of Armenia than all of the other
nations of the earth together. Yet when

death and with the destruction oftheir prop

aStonished to hear them. He received the
impression that the Y. p. S. c. L. as gift
of God Is the most effective means by
which to educate the young people for the
church and personal piety.
Mr.. Berner went home scarcely believing
that his young people would accept the c.
E. principles, but they did. Since then Mr..
Berner has worked for the spreading of the
c. E. cause in our country and in Germany
with great enthusiasm and sacrifices OF
time. strength and money, and not without
success.
