 During the afternoon session the Rev Mir Raymond of StratfOrd read the report on tracts and stated that some of them are on hand SO long they have become yellow with age and as means of leading foreign i'm migrants to God are worse than noth- ing. Some exception was taken to the word yellow, but Mir Raymond explained that what he meant to make plain was that such tracts as "Why I am a Methodist" are not par ticularly helpful fin leading foreign immigrants to Christ. He had no opinion to express regarding the value of the tract for other purposes. The report was recommitted for correc- tiOn.
 E. Tennyson Smith of Birmingham, England, preached last night. He gave the liquor dealers some hard thrusts and said that if the MethO- dist church does not wipe out the sa- looms God will wipe out the church. He considered the Salvation Army a standing disgrace to the Methodist church because if Methodism had car riei out the plan of evangelizatiOn as laid down by John Wesley there nev- CT would have been any need of the Salvation Army. The worst foe to humanity in the liquor traffic is the nice man. because his influence is greater than that of the man of no character. The only difference the Rev Mir Smith saw between the high wayman and the liquor dealer is that the former takes your money or your life and the other takes your money
