THE DAY SESSIONS.


At yesterday mornings session of the
congress of Disciples of Christ two ad-
dresses were listened to. The first was by
Rev. A Mclean, secretary of the For
eign Missionary Society of Cincinnati. His
paper was on the Consolidation of Our
Missionary, Educational and Benevolent
Enterprises" This paper was opposed to
the unification of the different boards. Dr.
Mclean said that while there might be
some friction between the various boards,
there was no unfair dealing. He said that
the only place where there is no friction
is the graveyard. The speaker asserted
that If less time were spent in urging con-
so,idation and more in the dissemination
of knowledge and religion the world would
be better off. -
Rev. Frank G. Tyrell, of Chicago, fol-
lowed DIR. Mclean. He did not agree with
the latter in his contention against conson-
dation of the benevolent boards. ne

Jesus did not preach individualism.
Every man for himself and most success

horrent to His spirit. He taught instead
the doctrine of individuality In sociai re-
lationship. Individual righteousness de-
ponds upon the social righteousness of the
Individual. The man who to-day attains
success at the misfortune OF his brother
Is living by the law of material and ami
