"What Can a Christian do to Save
Our Boys and Girls" was the sub
ject of an excellent paper read by
Flora Ferry. Her paper was among
the best, ii not the best of those
given during the three days, meeting.
Miss Florence Lyle, OF Crookston,
also read a very good paper on "Pre-
paration OF Program for Weekly
Prayer Meetings." Her paper was
well prepared and given with preci-
sion.
"The Ideal Lookout Committee"
was the subject OF a paper ably treat
ed by Carrie Garfield, Of Long Prai-
RE. Her paper was very suggestive.
1t was decided during Thursdays
meeting to have the above three pa
pers typewriter and printed to be
sent around to the different societies
for echo meetings. This speaks con-
siderable in behalf of the papers them
selves.
E. NJ. Hulett, of Minneapolis, was
to have led a conference on "Young
Peoples Work." but being i'll could
not be present. His place was filed
by Rev. L. H. Steinhoff. The main
talk OF the conference was given by
Rev. H. F. Stilwell, of St. Paul. His
few words proved stimulating and
instructive.
'tThe Young People in Missions
was the subject of a paper given by
Florence Gee, OF Detroit. Her man
ner of treating the subject was ex-
cellent. She gave number of valu-
able suggestions.
Following the deliverance of her
paper the Young Peoples union

In the evening a large audience
was present to listen to the closing
ceremonies OF the meeting. Praise
service was led by the young PEG
pie of Little Falls. Two addresses
were given by Rev. X. N. Morrill,, of
st. Cloud. He first read a most STIR
ring pamphlet entitled ''Carry the
Mess sage to Garcia" and then madea
most forceful practical application
OF it's lessons to Christians. Follow
ing him an address was given by
Rev. II. F. Stilwell, pastor of the
First Baptist church of st. Paul.
He took as his subject, con the
Threshold Of a New Century, Mr..
Stilwell is pleasing g speaker,
for he has a good delivery. Dur
ing his address he said that the char
acter of some of our new relations
would make this century one of the
most important during the existence
of the world. He said that during
the next three years it would he of
special interest to young people be-
cause it would be like the one Just
past, one of discovery and of higher
manhood. There will be many new
settlements politically and CONNER
cially. His second grand division OF
the subject was, that it would be one
OF new civilization. Potentially, it
will be Anglo-American and one of
great patriotism. His third division
was, that it would be one giving a
new expression of Christianity. 1t
will no longer be expressed in creeds
but in living. He said that during
the next hundred years we would
not hold truth but that we would be
held by it.. The speaker said above
all things we should not be afraid to
agitate, educate and concentrate.
At the close of Mr.. Stilwell's re-
marks, short conservation service
was held. led by Rev. E. r. Pope
following which the final adjourn
ment was taken.
This is the first time the North
western Baptist association has held
it's meeting in our city and we be-
lieve we can truthfully say it has
been a success.
The church is one new in it's exist
ence and it is for this reason we
should feel proud to be able, so soon,
to entertain delegates from the en-
tire northern part Of the state.
