Address on Home Missions.
The very popular minister. Rev. J..
H. Lucas, who was at one time sta
toned at the Temple in this city,
made very earnest address this
morning on home missions. It at
times was eloquent and contained a
large fund Conformation, and brought
to the members of the conference a
small opportunity to get some idea OF
the great work which is being done
by the mission to. alleviate suffering
and to spread the Kingdom of God
among the people who do not have as
many opportunities to learn of Him
as do people in better circumstances.
"America for Christ was the plea
of the address.
Rev. Lucas will conduct the services
at the Temple Sunday morning, whsre
he will be heartily welcomed by his
former congregation.
Fountain Head for Sermons.
The farreaching results of a con-
ference such as the one now being
held in the First ward can not be es-
timated. The associations and the
addresses furnish Inspiration for great
er work ndthemes for many sermons
both.of which will secure great results
to the people to whom the pastors will
return after the adjournment next
Monday.
Rev. r. r. Rice, for instance, this
morning afterithe Temperance address
by the State superintendent OF the
Anti-saloon League, said, 81 shall take
this card home, which contains the
points OF the address, and shall use
them in a sermon, and 1 feel sure It
will give me an excellent theme" It
is this way that most all Of the ser

Hon. Theodore
Alvord Made
Address Today

AS the sessions of the Methodist
Protestant conference, which is being
held in the First ward, continue, they
grow in interest and in benefits. The
sessions OF last night and today are
the best yet. and still greater meetings
are expected before the close, which
will be next Monday.
Theodore AIvoru's address.
One of the most interesting and
striking addresses Of the day was Civ
en- early this morning by Theodore
Alvord, State superintendent Of the
Anti-SaIoon League, who spoke upon
the inspiring theme of the evils Of
the saloon. He pointed out most vlv-
idly how the great question of liquor
should be thought over and fought by
the minister. 1t is to the preacher
that society must often look for. a
leader in the great fight against the
evils of fntemperance. The antt-sa-
loon league, the speaker pointed out,
is making a campaign upon small
platform which consists of but four
planks, which are: 1st, that local
option should be in every county in
West Virginia: Cd, that State SER
vice. like the Federal marshals, to
supervise the sale of liquor and to
lsee that the laws are not violated; Sd,
to authorize the governor to see that
the laws are faithfully executed and
to empower him to remove al officers
who are not faithful in the discharge
of their duties; 4th, that anti.screen
law be passed removing all screens
from doors and windows, compelling
the business to be carried on on one
floor in one room, the whole interior
capable of being seen in all parts from
the outside, and outing out all free
lunches, music and other attractions.
The remarks were well received, and
the ministers feel sure that now a
new and stronger campaign will be
made by the preachers which viii fur

work is difficult from the fact that the
whole state must be thoroughly un-
derstood, the nature of tha people in
each section, and furthermore, each
minister must be studied by the COM
mittee SO that he win be sent to the
particular section for which he Is best
fitted. The preacher must be suited
to the people: if not, there will be a
mistake. 1t is just the same princt-
pie that square plug can't be made

mittee are U. w. Morrison, chairman;
Rev. D. g. Helmfck, Rev. D. s. Boggs.

afternoon.
Their report will be made to the
conference as soon as it is completed.
This Afternoon.
The conference opened this after
noon shortly after two o'clock and
transacted several pieces Of routine
business This meeting, as we'll as
all OF the others, was exceedingly well
attended.
Car Ride at $500.
at $3.50 the session adjourned SO
that the ministers could accept an in
vitation from the traction company to
take a long ride over It's lines. The
trip is being heartily enjoyed, and the
ministers feel greatly refreshed for
tha future work, which they will be
called upon to do this evening end
tomorrow.
This Evening Rally.
There is never known just what turn
the work Of the conference may take,
but for this evening 1t Is planned that
there shall be either grand rally or
another session like that OF last night,
when the general agents addressed
the ministers.
