What Has Wrought Changes.


the Good Samaritan working in the
hearts of men 1t is the gospel of love
thy neighbor as myself. 1t is caused
| largely by the idea of st. PauPs splend-
id rhapsody on charity in the thir-
teenth chapter of first Corinthians, the
finest article in the literature of the
wide. wide world: Though 1 speak with
the tongues of men and of angels and
ihave not charity, 1 am become as sound
| ing brass or a tinkling cymbaI.' And
| the word charity in that chapter should
be the word love-love of humanity,
! which 1 believe is to be the dominant
idea of the twentieth century and all

Preceding the address of Champ
Clark, H. B. Brown, president of Val
paraiso university, Valparaiso, Ind,
! spoke on the Christian Endeavor So
ciety as Factor in Education"
THE Christian Endeavor society has
| done much for education" he said.
This society together with the Y. NJ.
| c. A. and Y. w. c. A, tided us over
one of the most critical periods our re-
| ligion ever experienced. Now we have
more people in our schools and col
| Ieges reading the Bible than ever be-
| fore"
1 Claude +. Hill. national superintend-
ent of the Christian Endeavor for the
| Christian church who presided over the
meeting, gave d report showing the
growth of the society in the last year.
1T has been a prosperous year for
! Christian EndeaYor," he stated. Moth
ing phenomenal has been done but there
has been a steady and substantial
growth.
Three hundred new societies have
been organized. which makes total
of 7,414 organizations of Christian En-
deavor in the Christian church
There has been a decrease in mis-
sionary offerings of SO. 2320S, due to
sentiment on the part of societies that
they should not be asked to give ex-
Cept through the regular channels of
the church.
Devotional services were led by F. L
Day, state superintendent of Nebraska
Roll call was answered by states,
majority of the states responding. Lit
tie Joseph F. Ones, of Zandersville Ca,

Stubbs Brands DistiIIers.
Il understand" said Governor w. r.
Stubs in the closing remarks of his
address at the Auditorium on Saturday
afternoon, that the brewers and dis
tillers of the country have established
themselves in Topeka, with the object
of obtaining, if possible. the election of
representatives, sheriffs. and county
attorneys in Kansas who will try to
modify the prohibition laws.
Earl Rose, son OF former Mayor
Rose of Milwaukee, came here to start
the movement. They are fighting the
fighters against the brewers all over
the country. I thought this would be
a good time to tell the people of Kan
sas about it.
IF the Christian people haven't got
the spirit to get up and fight this
thing in an organized way they ought
to be licked.
Until a little more than a year ago,
drug stores, in Kansas sold whisky
and it was remarkable how many times
it was necessary to take the whisky for
the collie dozen times a day often
times. Oaughter1
Il say to you today that I don't know
CT an open saloon or joint in the state.
and if any man will show me an omen
saloon and tell me of it and 1 don't
close it, I'll resign my position
1t rests at the door of the Christian
people to fight the battle against thu.
liquor traffic You'll be boycotted and
possibly stung, but if your religion is
worth five cent piece you forge right
ahead. 1t should be a war of ex-
termination and not of compromise. If
the Christians do their duty YOU can
have national prohibition and national
legislation inside of 10 years" (Cheers.)
