of Conference.
Remarkable Response by the
People to the Speakers Appeal
for Christian Living.

One Of the most lucid, power
fu'l and stirring appeals ever
made to man, marked the close
of the Bible @ Conference last even
ing, when DR.. j r. Pratt Of the
AL any Bible School, spoke to a
congregation that taxed the
laauditorioum of the city hall to It's
utmost, on Some Traits Of
Character that Win. Z DR.. Pratt
rsed Daniel as an illustration and
Tor the space Of an hour held
such attention thatin all thevast
audience there was scarce the
moving 7ll'1''7i1 Of an eye from the speak
er from from bis opening sentence to
his closing. Thousands Of Daniels
have lived and died declared Dir.
Pratt, but only one has been
embered. This man must
have been something different
from his fellows that all the
WORLD knows. him at the mere
mention of his name. Daniel
was a man Of infexible purpose
the purpose to do the right,
from which all the glories Of
Babyl lon and all the power Of its
kings could not bulge him one
iota. In burning words of elo-
quence the speaker pictured
Daniels rise to power until he
stood next to the king himself.
yet all this and life itself he held
cheap as against the precious
privilege PR Of praying to his God.
Daniel, and his three friends,
who calmly suffered themselves
to be cast into the fiery furnace,
were but four of the 100000.
young men Of Babylon and yet
the memory of all but these four.
has persisted utterly from off the
earth. No man knows SO much
as the name of one other Of all
these 100000. The four we know,
for they stood for a purpose.
The sermon was a grand con-
clusion to a Wond erful five days
gathering. Illustration, logic,
.dienunciation, appeal alternated
with lightning like rapidity while
the speaker made the word Of
God plain to every nearer. The
audience was profoundly moved
and when DR.. Pratt in conclusion
asked that every one who believed
that the living Of the true .Chist-
ian life was right to rise almost
every person in the congregation
was on his feet. 1t was ais though
the man were blotted out and
God spoke to his people.

F
The first session Of the Bemidjl
Bible Conference, which is to be
permanent annual gathering in
this city, closed yesterday with
four largely attended meetings.
At 7:3O in the morning at the
Presbyterian church DR.. Pratt
conducted q Bible reading in that
illuminating manner which dis
tinguishes everything to which
he puts his hand and tongue.
At ten o'clock in Sthe city hall. a
congregation which completely
filed the auditorium listened to a
vivid Sunday School lesson by
DR.. Worden on the life of Man.
asseh, "the most wicked man
in the world,'' while DR.. Pratt
followed at eleven O'Clock, with
another wonderful appeal for
Christian living, using the story
Of Simon Peter who fshed all
night and caught nothing as an
Illustration. Through his failure
the great opportunity Of his life
came to Simon Peter, the opport-
unity to follow Christ. In the
afternoon at four o'clock an open
air meeting was held in the park
on the lake shore and while the
people sat on the ground DR..
Worden preached to them Christ
and his love for man with a fervor
and a power that won many a
heart. The evening meeting at
the city hall made standing
room only at a premium.
The Saturday evening meeting
at the church Was like all the
others a time of praise and in
spiration. DR.. Adams, synod.
cal missionary for Minnesota
spoke on Missions and the Pres
byterian church and gave a
powerful plea for missions and
told of the growth of the church
in Minnesota during the nineteen
years in which he has been at the
head of the missionary work Of
the state. During that time one
church has been added every
month uutil there are today 311
Presbyterian churches in the
state. DR.. Adams was followed
by Dr.. Pratt with a short appeal
to unbelievers to set aside the
little things Of this world for the
great things of the next.
DR.. Worden's Sunday School
lesson yesterday morning was
revelation to teachers. It was a
great Christian appeal. He
showed Manasseh, SHINING for
so years, suffering under the
wrath of God, supplicating the
mercy of the Almighty aud finally
saved from his sins. The lesson
brimmed with cogent illustra-
tons and striking applications.
-.
The Conference has been full
of humorous happenings. Dur
ing DR.. Worden's lesson yester-
day morning he asked whether a
young man would rather have
for. a wife a girl he could trust or
"a famboyant, wonderfully dres-
sed affair" and ten year old on
the front seat prom pity shouted,
Zone [ can trust.'
Miss Violet M. Roberts
during the experience meeting
last night declared that she was
como. hack to MinneapoljS tn fell
the people Of that city all about
what wonderful place Bemid il
is and r. f. Sulzer promptly
rose on the platform and said he
was not only going to tell Mime

peddle it over the whole state.
