The president of the general con-
ference spoke to the large audience
that greeted him Sunday morning.
The speaker drew a touching lesson
from the experience of the rich young
ruler, who lacked one thing, and so
many people will fail in the final
struggle because of some weakness
and go down I'm defeat because of 1t.
The defeat of Joshua was used to
show the importance of all being right.
Because one was wrong I'm the army
all suffered until the cause of disaster
was eliminated. At the close of the
discourse a call was made for all to
come forward who felt that they lack
ed at least one thing, something which
prevented the consumation of Chris
tian hope. One hundred and fifteen
responded to the call ana came weep
ig confessing their sins while the
peace of heaven settled upon the ell
tire encampment.

an earnest appeal in the afternoon for
a deeper consecration and hundreds

thanked Him for His infinite care and
love.

ening of Christian character as seen
in the life of Christ, and referred
especially to the time when His par
ents lost Him In the temple. The In
ference was made that we are in
clined today to have the same sad eX-
perience, but all have the assurance
that all who seek Him shall find Him.
