high potential value which Jesu. was seeking was a social value which was the value of a man to another man. The constant theme of his preaching was the coming of the Kingdom Of Heaven on earth. That Kingdom was to be an Ideal social condition on earth. Tn 1t man is to be of the first value. and mfnistering to the welfare of man the highest service. It is to be A Sd. ciety of brothers. and its life Is to be an expression of mutual love. The final test of the worth of man is to be determined by his fulfilment of that relation. Religious shibboleths can not be substituted for this service. man absolutely alone and unrelated to any other person Is unthinkabIe. The distinction ebtween private and social virtues Is fictitious one All virtures gre social in their last analysis. The mission of Jesus and the work of this conference are Identical, the task Is one of adjustment. The incomplete man is to be completed by properly re- lating him to other men. He cannot live to himself. for that would mean to die to his real self. Indeed to the extent he lives alone he fails to be a man.
 Does not one find, too. in the work Of this Conference the method of SNooSs AAfe nHAtCty beeTueQ ever 10 De the arousing of man to a sense of his own personal value. He must believe in himself. It Is not enough to prove some academic theory of the brother hood of man, but the, man must be conscious of his own relation to oth- CT men. Think of man who mas all his life viewed other men as employ. CTS" capitalists" hands" "custon1. CTS" or 'voters," and has dealt with them from the consciousness of their personalities. Through some experi- ence they come to live in his con- sciousness as brothers. There is no other phase to express this experi- encs. but that he has been born
 Society itself must not be thought of as a perfect organization needing only the adjustment of certain indi- vtduals to its unity. Society is in- complete, so long as there is an in- complete individual. Just as tne in. dividual must ind himself in society, society must find itself in the indi- vidual. Society also must have it's new birth, coming Into consciousness of its ktnshtp to every man. It must grow beyond it's present conception of "the greatest good to the greatest num- ber," and recognize it's own highest welfare in service to the least of the weak and helpless of every descrip- tion, while 1t threatens with the depth of the sea every form of greedy indi- vidualfsn which would place stumb- ling blocks in the pathway of the chil- dren in their progress toward the light. We must be careful not to Identify our principle with any form of government or code of conduct. however earnest we may strive to realize 1t through these rorms. Soci- ety Is larger than government and greater than conduct. Society is a common consciousness and our ideal the consciousness of kinship. There is to be an identity of interests so vital that the welfare of one Is the welfare of all, and the welfare of all Is the welfare of one. Its prophetic voice comes to us today in the words. "Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these least of my brethern, ye did 1t unto me-"

Washington. Pa. May 1o.-The pass ing of shifting engine which the would-be train wreckers had not count ed on, undoubtedly saved a disaster to the eastbound flyer from St. Louis to Pittsburg on the Pan Handle Railroad of the Pennsylvania system between here and Mcdonald late last night.
 An obstruction was placed on the tracks in such manner, experienced men say. that nothing could have saved the fast train had it not been discovered. The switching engine ran into the obstruction and was ditched. Apiece of rail was laid across the track and firmly wedged in posi- ton. Railroad detectives are working on a clue which Is expected to result in arrests. The flyer is one of the most important on the road in pas senger and express traflc.

 Selma, May 10. The Stevens-Gee. or as they are known, the Foraker wing of the Re. publican Party in the Fourth Congress sIonal District, seems to have played a trick with William F. Aldrich and his Roosevelt wing of the Republican Party in the district. The result of this trick is that William J. Stevens and John NJ. Gee will probably be al. lowed seats in the National Republican Convention and 1t is certain that Ala. rich and his wing will make con" test against Gee and Stevens.
 A letter was received here Saturday from Elmer Dover, secretary of the Re- publican National Committee, stating that certificates have been filed by william F. Aldrich and John Hollings- worth. that they are delegates and ara opposed to William J. Stevens and JolsmsM M. Gee as delegates. The letter stated that the papers must be in the hands of the secretary prior to the con" vention.
 Edmond w. Simmons Is chairman of the Republican Committee and he Is sending broadcast over the district an appeal for help to send Gee and Ste veYls 10 the convention at Chicago and Ia secure their rights from the party which they have served 50 long and faithfully.
