% The first speaker was Amos X. Wells,
OF Boston, who spoke on The Tenth Le-
gion" He said:
Some men pray for a millennium and
don't give a VIII toward its coming. En-
tles vorers, the cha not wheels Of the mil
lennfum aIe made of Consecra ted dollars.
We take an interest in missions, but we
keep our money on interest. Why, En-
deavorers, every year the United States
pays twice as much for ccTsets TO squeeze
the life out OF folks as can lie squeezed
out for foreign missions.
And now What depends upon the Lords
zenith? The church depends upon it. The
Sundsy school depends upon it. The Chris
ian Endeavor work depends Oh il. Look
az the burden of the nine tenths and of the
tenth. Is the tenth too much for you 10
give? / have read of a man with a
soul so sraall that you could take the little
end OF nothing and whittle it down to
fine poiut and with il punch out the pith
OF the Invisible hair and draw that man :
Soul through the hole. Such n an might

Quoted by Rev. II. Mosser, Of Reading. Pa.
The first speaker was Miss Lillian Stable
Meade, Of Adelaide, South Australia,
whose subject was 1.-The Worlds Prayer
Chain" Miss Meade said. In part:
I'VE have heard great dealduring this
convention about the jubilee honfires that
blazed all over England and from there
20 Gihualtar and Malta and Cyprus and
India, ard then down to the land we call
home, on to Hong Kong and Canada, until
the bcrfires Were uazing all arounI the
world. IL has seemed to me that this was
something like the worlds prayer chain,
''Tlly the light OF the fires of this jubilee

strength. and that He will use us to do
