and call. All of Mr.. Scarborough's
work is thorough and his closing re-

AT 1915 there was a praise service
previous to the address of the morning,
which was delivered by the Rev. George
Lansing Taylor, D. D., of Hamden. DR..
Taylors subject was 1.-THE Twentieth
Century Movement" and bis address
was a most eloquent one. He empha-
sized elonuently and with convincing
power that spiritual attachments are
the real basis Of better material con-
ditions and dwelt upon the great need
of a more aggressive type of Christian
effort in the cities of the country. Dr.
Taylor also urged the careful attention
of all Methodists to the effort now be-
ing made in their church organizations
to raise the twenty millions of dollars
for educational purposes. hospitals the
payment of church debts and other
similar enterprises. The address was
very powerful one and will be printed
In full in this paper within the next few
days.
Dr. Taylors address closed the morn
ing exercises and the first exercise on
the programme for the afternoon was
the "Children's Hour held at 1:30
O'Clock The childrens meetings are
conducted by Miss Lillian A. Gladwn
of New Haven and continue to interest
large numbers Of young people. Her
topic Monday was "Trees" and yester-
day she gave the young people "Pen-
cil' talk. She represented that children
were very much like a pencil, in that
they are made to make impression; i'm
preston in the world as a pencil does
on paper. If a pencil makes a bad
mark, the mark is rubbed out and SO
1t is with child. If one of them makes
a mistake 1t is erased and the child
starts over again. The talk was very
interesting one and greatly pleased the
little folk. Miss Gladwin is very popu-
lar with the children and is doing great
good.
At 2:30 there was a singing service,
combined with the quotations Of scrip
ture passages concerning missions. This
lasted about thirty minutes and was
followed by a brief talk by Rev. Mr..
Kastendeck, preparatory to the intro
duction of Rev Henry Blatz, Jr., of
westville, the speaker of the after
noon.
Rev J. Wesley Johnston of Meriden
was to have made the afternoon adj
dress. but he was unable to attend and
Rev. Mr.. Blatz kindly consented to talk
on the same subject, 1.-THE Missionary
idea: Duty, a Privilege and an In
spiration." Although having but a few
hours notice Mr. Blatz delivered a very
nowerf1l address and it was greatly en- |
toyed Mr.. Blatz began by saying he |
could apologize for hours on the adj
dress he was about to deliver, but that
he would not take the time for that or |
for talking ABOUT IOfeiSD VI nome llila"
sions. He said he would confine him I
self strictly to the subject as time was |
too short for anything else.
AS to our duty to the missionary idea,
Mr.. Blatz said that every one of us
should give to the heather all that is in
our power and that we are indebted to
hear to them the precious views OF
Christ. He said the missionary idea
was the effort by man for the salvation
IF other men and to save these men by
the instrumentality of those who have
.he power The speaker said that the
Hutv was based on moral principle
and that every man who thinks he
ouoht to do this is the man
who will accomplish the most in the
world "Only those having the ought
idea are human beings" said he, land
If we trace history we will find that
only these are the men who have made
marks in the world and whose influence
we feel.
eft is a practical fact that every one
,f us has been saved by the instrumen-
tality of man and it is our duty to turn
around and do the same thing.
