every man, NO matter where de hves OF
to what creed he belongs
Judge Davis spoke very b,untiy OF the
ever increased need for greater COM
bination Of laity and clergy and said
that sor too long the former had rested
easily while the women and ihs recturs
had borne the heavy burdens. Progress,
he said, was absolutely essential if the
church is TO continue its usefulneas snd TO
enlarge its work. From the closed gate of
the Garden CT clea stretches long steep
path which 'e1ds to the summit Of life's
endeavcr wheseon is the image Of rcr-
feet man. The -unian race is struggling
toward this goal and it Is The duty OF
every man who IL worthy Of tiiat name 20
do his iull share of the work.
In discussing political conditions Judge
Davis said that corruption vas vide
spread. not because there were too mary
evil-minded men IN the word but be
cause good citizens ignored their duty
ana refused 10 vote and w,tk as their
consciences { tt1ted.
III the true cl ristian men ansTne:e de
ciied that they would control aft9rs, the
pol'tcians would be without o5cr l;ian,
he declared. They Cnly control go'trn-
meas because the good men refuse 10 IN
terfere."
Judge Davis spoke feelingly in regard
to divorces and the remarrage Of divorced
persons. his experience upon the bench
having given him a good insight into the
evil. Every minister. ne held, should re-
fuse to take part in such marriages. His
remarks were eloquent and he was round
" applauded when he concluded.
The Rev. Peregrine Wroth Of Balti-
more, whose church-the Messiah-was
burned during the February fire, read an
interesting paper on Sunday school work
IN effect an earnest contention that the
teachers of the Sunday schools should
come from among the laymen, the mosi
prominent men I'm the church.
