MUCH INTEREST IN
 MISSIONARY INSTITUTE.
Profitable Conferences and Addresses Made at the Sessions Friday.

All sessions of the missionary insti- tute were well attended on Friday, many being present from surrounding towns.
 At the afternoon session at Broad way church the devotional service was led by Rev. Dr. M. $. Kaufman, George A. Turner being the leader in the singing. Prayer was offered by Rev. pr. Pollock.
 The topic of the afternoon service was The Bible the World Message and was ably handled by Rev. Dr. Kauf- man. He said that the Bible cannot help being the worlds message It is forces for the moulding of the human mind. It appeals to the conscience in an unresisting manner.
 God is in the book and by the holy spirit the people find him there. 1t has brought the word to the heather and the knowledge of God to all points of the world. The Bible does not fear any light from any source. It has magnified and lifted on high this won- derfuI Savior Jesus Christ. It Is equal to the emergency and can do the work for which we are sending it out into the world.
 We must go forward with Him to the kingdom of God or go back to aetheism and chaos. We want to get 1t into our hearts and experience its benefits and give our Christianity to all the world, knowing that it will save all to eternity.
 This followed the conference between the ministers of this vicinity and the institute leaders, at which there was 8 good attendance by the clergy.
 Missionary Education.
 At o'clock the conference for all opened and was led by Rev 4. E. Legg, the subject being The Adequate Pro gramme of Missionary Education in the Sunday School.
 study is necessary in the Sunday school, it being brought out that it de- velOps Christian faith and character and that the missionary spirit is the necessary Christian spirit. For chil- dren between 12 and 16 there should be Christian companionship and 1t is time when they are going to have hero. They are impressionable then and it is the proper thing that they should know of the great missionary workers of the centuries that they may see in one of them the hero they ad- mire. A study of the mission work will widen the vision of God.
 The future missionaries are in the Sunday schools and the future money for their support must come from those pupils. Missions should be taught in the Sunday schools which can be dOhG Dy uSlllS lilS IHISSIOI pictures, notices. hymns and prayers. General exercises are great help. while the use of the church flag of white with a red cross on ground of blue has much influence when allegiance is pledged to it. An atmosphere can be given to a Sunday school room which will have a great influence upon the children. Heroes of the cross should be brought into Sunday school life. Missionary programmes must be ar- ranged so as to be interesting and in- structive and it should be taken ID each cgass hour.
 Rev. MT. Legg advocated by all means the grading of the Sunday schools, They are a great benefit, al lowing the teachers to teach much more than the other quarterlies allow and d wider idea of Christian work can be given the pupil. The pupils of the Sunday schools are being restricted by not being in graded schools. The Bible should be studies as one would study chemistry in the laboratory. by getting down to the vital point
 There was a general participation in the conference and it proved a very profitable hour.
