by the Rev. j. T. Morton, of Martin S
Ferry, after which Rev. Maioney read
short scripture lesson and gave a
short talk explaining the object and
! nature Of the meeting. A large num-

solo and addresses were made by
Wayne Denman, secretary of the Fourth
| General Conference District League,
and Mr. Butler, of the Ohio Wesleyan
University.
Mr.. Denman spoke of the general
condition of the Epworth League ano
thought that it might he more effec-
| tive than it is at present. He ex-
| pressed it thus:
There is too much I don't be-
lieve, and too little 1 an thine, On,
Cod in the different chapters to-day.
He is hopeful that the work will re-
vive and the League become a power
in the land"
Mr.. Butler made a strong plea in
behalf of the missionary cause. He
spoke of the very small beginning
OF the cause and showed the great in
| crease in the number Of workers but
by an illustrated comparison OF the
religious believers of the different re-
| ligious bodies Of the world with the
numbers who are in heather darkness,
he showed that there is still great
| need OF workers for the foreign field.
Miss Maggie Curtis, of Potomac,
read a very excellent paper on the
Common Brotherhood, which created
a deep impression on her hearers, as
was evidenced by the applause at the
close. She said:
That which we call life is a mere
span Of years from birth TO death, filled
in with activities which lead US to a
beautiful mysterious eterity. The ear
| lest glimpse OF the human family pre-
sents them busy in various lines OF
effort each of which has developed its
| own faculties and institutions.
At the same time it is a noticeable
feature that these efforts involve col
lective activities. They are ones
which neither thrive in solitude nor
can be we'll carried on by one man
alone The Influences OF rapid pro-
gress and civilization have served to
strengthen this growing dependence OF
man upon man, rather than break it
down. II iS as a living organism
which has bound men of the same rank,
interest or profession into industrial
brotherhoods This mutual interest
which binds them together makes men
outside the fraternity strangers to its
benefits.
The brotherhood has become an in
f1uential factor in the history Of recent
years 1t has been said, 40 be rich,
man must learn to want and learn to
make; but to be strong and safe he
must learn the meaning and extent of
brotherhood.
When the sons of Noah spread out
from a common center and by success
sive migrations overspread the Old
World, there was not only laid the
foundation of all subsequent history,
but the brotherhood or man in its
e-,y, ~ II
that no body of men ever existed on
the basis OF every one for himself. The
lowest savages, the cannibals never
killed and ate one another indiscrlm-
inaJely. Family ties were respected
and these In larger and larger circle,
TIL a tribe was the result Within
| this tribe men were brothers. who
shared what they had with each other.
Thus a. the very bottom of human
Nfe. in the lowest tribes Of which we
know anything. we find a tie that has
bound men into a narrow circle Of
| brotherhood. Man began 70 restrict
his own liberties aud impose certain
| duties upon himself from the earliest
time Tor the sake Uf justice 70 hts tel
| low being. This sense OF Justice within
each human heart has grown with the
onward march % civilization beyond
he narrow family circle and the tribe
until il IS as a band OF steel encfrcling
the world Il recognizes all men as
| nr0Jners related by one common inter
est and higher sphere Of living in
| spired by one common ideal This is
| The common brotherhood OF which We
| speak. the emblem OF q higher D7oraI
| civilization and advanced education.
| It's benefits are not confined 10 the few.
/ but 70 all who seek them.
Am ! my brothers keener" has
ceased 20 be a problem for Individual
consideration alone, but has been an

cade with an ulttmatum and clash q,

a nation TO its source, il wholly lies in
| its justice toward man.
When the cry Of inhumane treatment
| came from Cuban waters, the United
| States looked on until fraternal SYM
pathy for the oppressed overpowered
a neutral position and We stood facing
| Spanish weapons on battlefield and

happy fresides TO enlist their lives in
a noble cause.
Not long ago the whole civilized
world was terrified by the steps the
Chinese had taken against all foreign
