CLOSING DAY
Of the Great Ecumenical Missionary
Conference.

OO--@C-
New York, May THE opening ex-
ercises of the last day of the Ecumen-
ical conference drew large attendance
today. The exercises were led by S. B.
Capen, LII D. The regular meeting
at Carnegie hall was presided over by
DR.. Edward Judson, of New York. The
general subject under discussion was
that of Home Work for Foreign Mis-
SionS.' Rev. DR.. j. F. Behrends de-
livered a lecture on 1.-The Effect on
Churches of Supporting Foreign Mis-
sions.'
Rev. DR.. Davis G. H. Greer spoke on
''The Reflex Influence of Foreign Mis-
sions on Other Benevolent Enterprises"
Rev. George Wilson, of Edinburgh,
Scotland, spoke on E,nthronement Of
the Missionary Idea" and Rev. DIR.
George +. Penticost delivered an ad-
dress on THE Possible Power zezee the
Parlor.'
DR.. Behrend's address was listened
to very closely. He said in part:
we are beginning to realize that the
campaign on earth IS of vast proportions
when Christian comfy fails to meet the
demand. That was well enough so long
as continents and islands enjoyed a COM
paratlVe Isolation We must come to
terms among ourselves What right have
to say that you may go there but not
here2 Hardly had Porto Rico come under
the American flag when there was a race
of the denominations for the occupancy
of the island and we began to parcel out
the territory. That was comfy. Shame
on us, l say. What an object lesson it
would have been if we had cooperation
for our watchword and had left our de-
nominatiOnal banners behind US. Comfy
is a snare and a delusion. You can not
enforce it. Fusion is what we need; CO.
operation is what must have"
The speaker closed by saying that he
believed the cause of missionary work is
being instrumental in bringing about a
federation of all the creeds and in that
manner is fastening the millennium
One of the innovations introduced at
Carnegie Hall on the last day of the con-
ference was that instead of delegates go
ing to luncheon at the noon hour, they
gathered in the hall for an hours session
of mutual instruction.

It is a good plan to subscribe for

trict to Canvass.

Claude Duval, the Democratic nomi-
nee for congress in the Seventh dis

a few days, and will keep hammering
away until the election.

arranged with the house he represents
to devote all his time from now until
the election in the campaign for con-
gress.
L P Campbell, the Populist nominee,
is also planning to start his campaign
soon, another evidence that he does not
propose to give Duva1 the field.

the purpose of solving the problem
which is presented by so many candi-

There Is nothing improbable In this

his diplomatic efforts, show the low

THE CHURCHES TO BLAME.

The sectarlan churches Of the coun-
try are really not held IN great esteem.
As Will be remembered. a very short
time ago paper in this city confessed
that conversion" does not convert
anybody. and that many church mem-
bers are swindlers. Now the New
York World says substantially the
same thing
II appears that a Miss Helen Clark
recently astonshed the New York
ministers by declaring that New York
Is a more heather city than Toxic and
that "lts wiokedness probably exceeds
that OF any other city in the United
States"
The World, on investigation, finds
that the foundation for the charge is
In that the people Of New York neg
lect to 90 10 church. The paper
replies TO this. that If nothing worse
can be charged, New York may not be
very wicked city after all, and then
goes on TO say that the consensus Of
opinion In New York is that a large
proportion OF those who are response
bic for cur adverse conditions viii be
found regularly attending church on
Sunday and ogtentatously palronIzing
the contribution box"
That Is tough on the Baptists, Metho.
dists, Presbyterians, and others, Of
New York City After many years Of
activity in one Of the most popuous
cities Of the Union, have they estab.
lished such a reputation as that? Is
the impression general that the church
attendants and patrons Of the contrl-
button boxes are largely responsible
for the moral conditions Of the large
cities? II so, no wonder that infdellty.
in It's most modern form OF agnosti-
cism, is spreading. Notwithstanding
It's inability to meet the spiritual needs
Of humanity The philosophy Of
know nothing" is bad, but hypocrisy
Is fatal to the best interests OF COM
munities as OF individuals.
