showed how much can be done in the Jun
ior society by faithful and loving leader,
especially where active work and giving is
planned and carried out.
Prof. Ell. j. Stannard of Barton, dealt
with "The Cigarette Problem. What ca n
G. E. do about it?" This address and the
full discussion which it aroused brought
out two points clearly: that there is much
ignorance in our societies as to what the
law is concerning the sale of cigarettes to
minors, and that the young ladies of the
societies can do much to lessen the evil by
taking firm stand and exerting
their influence against their use. Rev.
r. l.. Sheaff of Barton spoke on
"Some of the Problems Confronting G. E.
To- day." showing that G. E. has passed
its period of youth and entered upon ma
ture life; although the enthusiasm of nov
city has passed away the stress of the
movement remains for every society that
is faithful to its pledge and led by pa stor
devoted to its work. He laid emphasis
to its name by being prominently soci
ETY. ora for young people. The discus
sion that followed contained many testi-
monials from the pastors present, of the
value of the Q. E. Society and
its work in their churches. The ad-
dress by Miss Jennie M. Locke of
Barton Landing on 'What Greater Attrac-
tions can G. E. Offer to the Young than
the Current Social Amusements," was
listened to with very close attention. She
emphasized the truth that the Christian
life in its depth and fulness is the greater
attraction of e. E., and will never fail to
win, over other attractions, if its principles
are thoroughly lived out by its members.
She also gave many helpful suggestions
how to make the c. E. socials bright and
interesting, and named several books issued
by the United Society that had been found
useful in the work of the social committee.
Rev. A. F. MacGregor of Newport
answered the question, "How can our G..
E. societies be made more vital and relig-
ious?" He spoke of the purifying and
transforming effect which fire had upon
everything it touched. Being baptized
into fire, this is the great need of G. E.
The evening session opened with praise
service led by Rev. e. H. Brown of New
port. The address by Rev. Frank L. Good
speed, pastor of the First Congregational
church of Springfield, Mass, upon ''The
leadership of the Exalted Christi was
thoughtful, highly wrought and eloquent
The convention closed with brief service
of conservation led by Rev. j. B. Lyman of
Barton Landing. The report would
not be complete without mention of the
generous entertainment by the Irasburgh
| Society. Mr.. Percy Templeton and Mr..
John Bogue gave much pleasure to the
convention by their excellent singing.
The dinner and supper, served so prompt
! ly in the vestry, were heartily enjoyed by
all. Pursuant to vote of the Union its con-
