As to the possibility of concluding
the work Taft said IF it was only
a matter of digging n ditch, ! should

that we cannot estimate at this time
when the presidential campaign
was mentioned Taft laughed heaAtily
and said he felt as though he had been
out of touch with the situation and
perhaps further from the nomination.
He admitted, however, that he is still
in line for that great honor, provided
his party saw fit to bring forward his

the great work of the church in its
efforts to reach the masses of people.
The three O'Clock hour was devoted to
a study of the theme. The Place OF
PRAYER in our work, and prayer
service. Rev. Leeds led our thought

hour of preparation, DR.. Frank E,
Jenkins preached a most inspiring
sermon, by the theme. The church
but means to advance the Kingdom
of God on Earth. DR.. jenkins clearly
set forth the weakness of our modern
church life in its selfish interests and
plead for live, aggressive effort to
helm advance the Kingdom Of Jesus

of Iowa and Manchester led in help
full and spirited praise service, and
DR.. H. G.. Herring of New York de-

in which we as COngregatiOnalist
