THE SUMMER AT NoRTHFIELD.
The Christian Workers Conference
 Closed.


 East Northfield, Mass, Aug. 21.-The
 Northfield General Christian Workers
 Conference closed its 18th annual ses-
 sion Sunday evening after day char
 acterized by large meetings, excellent addresses, and deep spiritual interest on the part of the hearers. Looking at the
 conference from the point of numbers, 1t has been the most successful one ever held here, Looking at it from a deep CT point of view, in the words of a doc- tor of divinity of national reputation who has been here at nearly every con- ference since D. l.. Moody issued his call for Northfield gathering 20 years ago, 1t has been most remarkable one. There never has seemed to be a deeper interest in the meetings than there has been this year. A number of people who were here for only few days for the first time, have been so much inn pressed that they are engaging rooms for next year.
 It has been a conference notable for the large number of meetings, starting with three services a day at the outset, new ones were added until there was opportunity for one to attend relig- ious service at almost any time of day. This gathering has made an advance upon previous conferences, in the in- troduction of Institutes" The Insti- ute of Fundamental Christian Doc Urine conducted by Rev. R. A. Torrey of Chicago, the Musical Institute i'll Il nf Ina Chicago Bible Institute. and "The Young Peoples Institute" over which John Willis Baer of the United Society of Christian Endeavor presided, proved to be valuable addition to the confer ence and they were deeply appreciated by the visitors
