Barberton, June 26--The annual con-
vention of the Epworth league of the
Wooster district was held in the First
NJ. u. church of Barberton, this week
This district comprises 20 churches,
and about 100 delegates were In at
tendance.
Tuesday evening DR.. NJ. b. Pratt,
of Akron, delivered an address on "The
New Crusade" Among other things
DR.. Pratt said. "rhis new crusade
may be divided under four heads
educational, social spiritual and world
wide evangelism. Born in great
university, the Methodist church has
always stood for the highest intcllec-
tual equipment, yet it has had the
good sense to use men who have nat
ulal gifts though lacking the culture
OF the schools. The Methodist church
has always stood for social equality
but with distinction. The man at
the bottom recognizes the superiority
of the gifts of the man at the top.
The representatives of wealth and cul-
ture and of the toilers meet together
about the altars of prayer each trying
to put himself in sympathy with the
other. 1t is this sympathy of the man
at the top with the man who carries
dinner bucket that will eventually
solve the social problem
The best address delivered, Wednes-
day morning, was that of Rev. Ii. Il.
Warner, OF Navarro, who spoke on
Prophets, Ancient and Modern"
Rev. Warner made plea for the old
spirit of prophecy and the belief in
prophets among moderns, and classes
with those OF later days who might
be termed prophets Rev. Dwight
Moody and Miss Frances Willard. In
defining prophecy, he said: 'rhc idea
OF prediction Is not excluded, but Is
not a radical 81 necessary part of the
meaning of the word prophecy"
Speaking Of ministers, Rev. Warner
made the statement ",rhe true min
lister Is called OF God. Not every man
who desire to become Il minister can
become n true preacher. He must have
n special calling. The preacher should
be living illustration of what he
breaches, himself knowing it to be
true. 1t is the reformed man who has
been through all the degradation and
suffering Of sin against which he
breaches who does the most good. The
minister should also have n personal
experience In divine things"
Others who took part in the pro-
gram We're: DR.. Albert Knapp, OF
wooster; Rev. NJ. r. Mead, OF Barber
ton; Mr.. l. l.. Soachrist, of Seville;
Mrs. Charles Brown, of Massillon;
Miss Gertrude Hallock, OF Leroy; Miss
Esther Small of Dundee; Miss Martha
Swangcr, of Orrville; Miss Abbie Nc
Lnughlin, OF Canal Fulton.

THE OLD MANS CHRISTMAS.

It is past, like beautiful dream; but sweet
was the dream to me;
For the children came, as in the days of Old.
and cuddled around my knee;
And l told them the tales l used to tell
ere my locks were thin and gray
To the other children Of my love: The
children that went away!
I forget the vacant places-the fall OF the
wintry snow;
In the light of their rosy faces l lived in
the Long Ago;
I lived in the long ago; but the Present
was perfect then
For all of the bitter snow that fans on
the lives of men.
] only knew they were near me, in
world made new again,
And the Winter violets Of Life were
trimmed with the Springtime rain;
/ felt their kisses sweet on my withered
cheeks and cold;
And saw, over threads of silver, the
CLEAN of their cur1s of gold.
1t is past like beautiful dream; with
all the songs that were sung;
And / feel, in the after Silence, that the
world is for the young;
And thanks be to God that the world is
SO, with all it's sunny years
That at least, one time in our lives we
know kisses and love, and-tears!

So the brother, flushing red, took back

holly for the. great day. Imagine
waiting till three days before the

But it's not their fault, for Miss Gray

Col. Battersly, not having seen his
sister in ten years, decided to spend
Christmas at her house. A desultory
correspondence had made him vaguely
aware of the fact that her husband, Cal
vim Murdoch, had grown rich, and that
she had two children. a boy and girl
But he was not prepared for the luxurl-
ant conditions which he found upon en-
tering their splendid home. He was
never estranged from his sister, but
when she married Murdoch the soldier
brother had made up his mind that his
sisters husband was not Ibis kind
In frontier barracks and foreign camps,
Col Battersly's life had been lonely.
He was a silent, elemental, passionate
man, whose rigid habits gave cold and
even hard exterior to nature essential
ly tender. Murdoch was man OF much
SNUG piety, who knew that a Sunday
school class does not hurt a mans credit
with the bank.
But the Murdocks gave Uncle Batter
sly a grand welcome. His sister kissed
him, the two children gave him their
hands with trained graciousness, and the
head of the house said: welcome to
the warrior-see, the conquering hero
comes!" This made the old campaigner
i'll at ease. He blushed like a girl, and
thereafter found restraint in the, to
him, artificial atmosphere of the grand
house. When he went out for a walk
Mrs Murdoch said:
Poor fellow; how he's changed"
"Out of his element with women and
children" growled Murdoch.
What makes his neck SO red?" asked
the boy
When the Christmas presents began
to arrive, and his sister showed them to
him, the colonel suddenly realized that
he must buy something for the children.
He said nothing about it, but spent half
of the next day buying for his niece a
French doll, with a complete wardrobe,
and a fully equipped steam battleship
for his nephew. 1t was a soldiers
choice-love and a child for the little
woman, power and war for the little
man. "He was very careful about the
address, Mrs. Murdoch, 2441 Penrose
street"
He wondered why his gifts did not
soon appear in the grand array, but said
nothing to his sister, showing each day
an increasing interest in the accumulat-
ing presents in the locked room, and
finally, on Christmas eve, late in the
day, going back to the store where ne
had made his purchases to ask what
had become of the doll and the war
ship. 1t took long time to find out the
