Rev Ward has lived an eYentful
life, and were il not for the Christian
comfort Of soul that prayer and faith
gives 10 missionaries in that heather
land, his life with all its thrilling in
cidentss could hardly be called a
happy one
He did not state that he had ever
loved and won q fair English girl in
young manhOOd's days in all his re-
marks concerning his native Hindu
wife, and the presumption must be
that the present Mrs Ward is the only
object Of his life to command a hus-

English with difficulty, he IS cultured
and handles our language very grace
fully The manners and customs Of
both have been radically different, and
il seems strange that these two should
manifest such apparent liking each
for the other. They certainly were
not drawn together by similarity OF
tastes and common knowledge, nor
by race prejudice, but likely by
spiritual sympathy where there is
neither Greek nor Jew, bond nor free,
but Christ is all, and in all"
Mrs. Ward sings herself into the
hearts Of the people who hear her,
not by a beautiful voice and training
but by earnest faith that she thus is
helping God in his evangelism and
by her great simplicity. She talked
before the audience at the opera house
Monday night, displaying considerable
acumen.
Tuesday evening at the opera house
Don w Nichols OF Salina, gave an
educational address, one Of the inter
esting kind He based his speech on
a few verses from the fourth chapter
Of Proverbs, beginning with Wisdom
is the principal thing" Nichols style
is the antitheSis Of Ward. He is quick
in his speech, epigTamatfc, and after
the Roosevelt type Of hitting straight
from the shoulder He said many good
things, among them: You may cry
out against trusts, you may cry out
against mOnOpOlieS, but you can't cry
out against brain" The speaker rep

and younger delegates The two ad-
dresses at the opera house must not
be mistaken for the EpwOrth League
convention; they were simply fash
lights to draw the attention of people
generally but the laymen Of the
leagues received much good from dis
cusSiOn in their interesting meetings
at the Methodist church. EpwOrth
League work was viewed from many
points It had the function spoken
Of in the Bible- LAS iron sharpeneth
iron, so a man sharpeneth the cOun-
tenanCe Of his friend" Hence, the
delegates went away sharpened for
more Jealous Christian work among
the people
Presiding Elder Meredith was chair
man OF most Of the sessions. The
delegates left for their homes on the
night trains Tuesday.
