RELIGIOUS PROGRESS
GOOD WORK BY THE EDUCATION t..-, ASSOCIATION.
Speakers. and Reporta Show Advance meat I'm All Branches--The Year Brought the "Widest
 Expansien."

Chicago, Feb. 10.--Remarkable prog ress in religious education was out lined in a paper read by Prof, George Albert Coe. of Northwestern Universl- ty at today's session of the convention of the Religious Education Associa- tiOn.
 The future is no less bright. accord ing to another paper delivered by Henry Churchill King, President of ob- erlin College.
 The astounding progress of the Christian religion in the orient, par ticularly in Japan, during the last if- ty years, was dwelt on by Prof. Ed ward c. Moore. of Harvard.
 Rev. J. R. Chamberlain, pastor Of the First Baptist Church of Morgan town, w. Va, said:
 "I know a church in the center of New York city that is sometimes call- ed a graveyard of ministers because so many men have burned out their en- ergies and broken their hearts in an effort to make 1t an aggressive force worthy of its opportunities. In the churches there has been e terrible lack of imagination and the courage that animates imagination. This quality has not been lacking in the builders and rulers of our cities. We (the churches and the builders of the. cities) haven't learned to get togetber and plan in concert"
 Henry F. Cope. General Secretary of the Association, presented his annual report.
 In the report he says:
 The year 1908, doubtless to be re- membered In the history of finance as the year of the great depression, has been in the history of the Religious Education Association the year of it's largest progress and widest expansion. The Association has published more material, reached, more people through our literature and meetings received more money and witnessed more gen. eral evidences of Its increasing infiu- ence than in any preceding year. ''The tfeasuxsf,ss report for the year pis more than an aFray of figures. It tls a revelation Of the faith, of large numbers of persons in the purposes and policies of the Association"
 The indebtedness which for so many years threatened it's usefulness Is prac- tically all paid of. he declared.
 At the business session Prof. George Albert Coe vas elected president of the association and other officers were chosen. < = -.ss
 Employers are largely responsible for the making or unmaking of people to whom they pay salaries. according to former President Charles W. Eliot or ttaTVarQ CnlNeESlty, WnO SpOk0 De- fore the Religious Education Associa- ton tonight.
 dent Eliot to the welfare of the wage earners were:
 "Insistence on exercising power of instant dismissal, neglect to provide inducements for a workman to create a permanent home for himself. or, what is worse. actually encouraging nomadic habits in an employe; neglect to reward loyalty in an employe by a systematic rising scale: limiting free dom to rise from one stage of employ ment to another, or deliberately keep ing every employe at work on one job as long as possible

 T seem to have been elected a mem Der Of the .Ananias Club at sight. am accepting with becoming modesty with due honor. Better men than I belong to this distinguished organisA- ton. In view of the very large mem bership the organization has at pres ent, it is not as much Of an honor to belong to 1t as it was three or four years ago. On account of the as many additions to the 'Ananias Club after the fourth of March as there has besp,1 inss the recent past; and on accoufit Of the fact that SO many distinguished citizens belong to this organization I am very glad to be admitted aow to membership.
 ''I did not expect Presldent Obaldia and his administration to agree with my estimate of him, and I did not expect the President of the United States to agree with me in my esti- mate of him.
 ''rhe requirements of membership In the 'Ananias Club are exceedingly simple. In order to be entitled to membership 1t is only necessary to be industrious, to exercise diligence and to arrive at some facts not compli- mentary to the present administration. In addition to this you must also have the courage to make the facts you have ascertained public"
 "Later on in the session I win have something else to say on the floor of the House about my Panama Canal in vestigations. prefer 10 wait. how. ever, unth my speech has been an- swered. understand that several members on the Republican side ex. pect to answer it."
