/. Last Nights Meeting.
| The meeting last evening began with a
praise service, after which the Rev. j. j.
Muir made the moderator's annual address.
/ DR.. Muir spoke of the expected enlarge
| ment Of activities and success of the work
Of the organization. He suggested that the
/ enlargement of new fields be left to Itself
/ and that the members devote their energies
| to the upbuilding and Improvement of
/ churches already In existence. Take. for
4 example, the Metropolitan Church, in
| which we are meeting, said he. Say to
| them, Go on, build Not only shall you
| have won the sympathizipg word, but also
| the opening pecketbook of the larger and
| weather Baptist congregations" He also
urged that the different congregations de-

4 his theme,

/ overflow meeting in the chapel. Mr.. Skin
| ner Is handsome young man OF the ath-
letic type, which the best colleges are turn
ing out nowadays, and he spoke with great
| energy and earnestness. short resume of
| his address follows:
/ Intelligent thoughtfulness is to some ex-
1 tent revolving against the insane methods
/ and hysteria that have characterized evan
geHstic reyiyals in some instances and
| there have been some well-founded objec-
1 lions to such work as carried on both here
/ and abroad. Professor Henry Drummond
! objected because the attitude OF converts
| was that of begging or from God; he wanted
them to como az saved to God as Christ
purposed. Prof. Davenport depIores the
harm done by REVEALS on account OF the re-
| elton from the fervor and excitement under
which at such times men take up what
should be serious. holy service to God.
The evangelism OF the future must be
program OF culture; must be pedagogical
rather than emotional. DR.. John Watson,

come social instead OF individual
An Imperative Demand.
hut we must not forget the imperative
ness OF the demand. We must reach men
somehow. When we come to think OF II
evangelism is not to change much from the
old way. We must reach men by personal
contact, and It must be the work of the
layman as well as Of the ministry. When
q man is saved his first thought must be
how to save another man. The evangelism
| which has been satisfied with salvation
| which left man with his God must come
to be an evangelism of a man, and God and
another man. The man who has just re-
ceived the glad tidirgs OF salvation is the
man to bear the glad tidings to another
man.
