CHILDREN
Rev. R0nnettS Miller breaches
Sermon on Their Conversion.

Yesterday morning at the Hope Street
Methodist church the Rev. Rennetts G.
Miller, pastor OF the church. preached
sermon on THE Conversion OF Children"
His text was from Mark x. 1874. He said
In part:
THE greatest blunder OF present day
Protestantism * her neglect of the chill
dren. The shrew'dest thing In Roman
Catholicism Is her carefulness I'm regard
TO the spiritual or at least ecclesiastic
training OF her child. II she had been
as careless Of her children as Protest
antism. her church would have been al
most extinct on this continent today.
ITO train children for church member
ship and into exalted Christian ufe Is no
easy task We have tried To shlrk II
and In this we have too often succeeded
We have been spending far too much
10 get the hardened sinner converted
rather than gently lead the young into
the church and the kingdom OF God by
normal and natural methods.
There was time when children were
taught at home and at church large por-
tions OF the Scripture. The church cat
echsm with its Scripture and great theo-
logical truths were faithfully committed
10 memory and a foundation laid for
Christian character that has had no sub
sttute. Such was the training j received.
and for which / shall never cease to be
grateful 10 my Christian teachers and
my, parents. - o "a
Here we find then, that Christ def
nltely commands children to be brought
10 Him. We recognize the binding force
of other commands. Why ignore this one?
The children are ready TO receive Christ.
Religion is question OF heart rather
than the head The neart or affections
OF the child can receive Christ often
more readily than those OF older years.
How early can children be converted
Jonathan Edwards was converted at Z;
Isaac Watts at 8. Prof. l.; r. ,Townsend
at g. Phoebe Bartlett at 4. Thousands
OF the best Christians I'm our churches
began a definite religious life under IL
years OF age Yet thousands OF parents
today think they must let their children
grow up and wander Oft I'm sin before
they can hope to see them become Chris
tians."
The month OF November will be set
apart for the conversion OF children and
young people OF the parish.

VOTE ON FRYE BILL IN SIGHT
Final Action by the senate Probably,
VIII be Taken About ,
March II.

WASHINGTON, March Sit appears
likely now that the senate will reach a
vote on the shipping bill one week from
next Monday. When Mr.. Frye in charge OF
the measure, e~ndeavored today to secure
an agreement from the time OF taking a
vote that date was mentioned as being sat-
i~sfaetory to the minority members of the
commerce committee.
Mr.. Clay addressed the senate today In
opposition to the bill and had not con-
cluded when the senate adjourned. He
made a ~forceful and interesting argument,
which was given careful attention by his
colleagues.
Early in the session the senate passed
the Legislative, executive and judicial APP
preparation bill, the second Of the big sup
ply measures to be acted on at this ses-
sion.
The bill providing for the Communication
for town site purposes of homestead entries
In certain portions OF Oklahoma was passed.
The unfinished business, the shipping bill,
then was laid before the senate and Mr..
Clay Of Georgia delivered his speech in op.
position to the measure.
In the course Of his argument Mr.. Clay
made the point that the postmaster gem
eral had not recommended In his reports
any such change in the ocean mial service
as was contemplated by the pending bill.
Mr.. Harris Of Kansas inquired II there
were any provision In the pending measure
looking to competition in the letting OF
contracts for the carrying OF ocean mails.
Mr.. Clay replied that the whole matter
was In the hands Of the postmaster gen.
eral. us II not a fact" suggested Mr..
Hanna, that all mail carrying contracts
are let in that way?"
IL think the senator from Ohio is cor
rect" responded Mr.. Clay. my under.
standing is that under the act of 1891 the
foreign mail service is left to the post
master general to contract for in his dis
erection"
There is nothing in this bill changing
the method Of making contracts" suggested
Mr.. Hanna. That is the point / wanted
to make clear" :.
To this Mr.. Clay agreed.
Mr.. Clay took sharp issue with Mr.. Frye,
who had stated that American shlpyards
were not filled with work. The Georgia
senator declared. that his information ac-
CURED from shipping and naval journals
was that the ~shipyards OF this country had
orders on their books that would require
from three to four years to hll.
Without concluding his speech Mr. Clay,
at 4 o'clock, yielded the floor, promising
to 50 on with his address tomorrow.
Then, at 4:05 p. m, the senate went into
executive session and at AIS D. m. ad-
journed.
