outlining plans for the coming conven-
part:
One idea that is ever convincing with
me Is that the man who would accom-.
plish something must assume great re-
sponsibility. The great object Of our
work is to fix the individual RESPONSE
bility on Christians. for their individual
duties. There Is no limit to the tenefi-
cent work that man is capable Of" he
said. and In support Of his declaration
which tends to prove that there Is an
upper world of achievement" open to
all who will make ceaseless efforts
along chosen lines
az. I'm England" continued DR.. Clark.
the civic workers Of our organization
operate among all classes and condi-
lions of life. They go forth as bath
committees, personal COM
m1ttees. etc. OF course. there is no need
Of such committees here in the capital,
but there is good field for soul-savfnK
committees"
Secretary Shaw said that modern
Christianity cannot be segregated into
religious and secular periods. because
there Is no secular period of life It is
all religious, he said, and the man at a
prayer meeting is certainly no more
Christian than the man in the street.
Modern Christianity" he continued.
very sensibly discards the. rigid and
times. and goes into the shops, the
streets and even into our amuscments.' -
A resolution in memory Of the late
DR.. Teunis S. Hamlin was adopted and
DR.. Clark eulogized him. Percy S. Fos-
ter then conducted a song service, after
which Rev. Walter H. BROOKS pro.
nounced the benediction.
