SATURDAY. Afternoon Session.

The Saturday afternoon session

cubiect, "rhe Burning Bush and the
Burning Heart using for his illus
;rations the call of Moses and the walk
OF Jesus with the two disciples to
Emmaus. The next hour was given up
to group meetings in which different
phases oC the work were discussed by
competent leaders.
The delegates from the church clubs
and the county towns remained in the
congregational church and were under
the leadership of Cecil NJ. Da2gett and
| Arthur A. Heald of Waterville. The
delegations from tie large city asso-
Citations met at the assembly hall OF
Cony High school with George X
Merriam as leader The delegates COM

| the state occupied the common coun-
ell chamber at City hall and James

The adult leaders at the saI time

and trained from among it's members.
All this and much more can be done
by clubs having the proper equipment,
but what of the possibilities of a
Church Boys Club, without these
rooms and up-to-dat equipment.
In many of the smaller towns and
cities there are. and we have repre-
sentatives among US here, smaller
clubs and associations, which cannot
afford the rooms and equipment to
which have referred. These boys must
meet III halls loaned them by the
church Of towns people and it is gen
orally the church VestrieS to which
they so and with their officers and
committees plan on social times at
which they raise money, which goes
towards having rooms. These boys can
have their Bible study and their re-
lgious meetings, go on skating parties
on some nearby lake or river, go on
straw rides out into the country and
other parties in the winter; in the
summer they can go to some pond or
lake where there is a nice grove, camp
as q body or a club for week or two
and enjoy themselves in fishing, SWIM
ming. hunting, boat racing and excel
lent dinners, for nobody enjoys any
thing much more than outdoor air,
with freedom from books and work,
a smile on the lips and a good fish
chowder in the stomach.
In course of time an organization of
this sort gains rooms of its own and
has as fires and good time as their
friends can in clubs With necessary
equipment to start with. But in order
TO succeed III these undertakings young
men must have organization or uni
son. and above all faith in God, who
is the leader Of all young men and who
can promote the interest. which in
spires thought and action among us
ovor~one. 1t is therefore our own place
each individual one of us to do what
we can toward building up boys or
young mer's cubs with and without
up-to-dasc equipment and in the doing
rof this Ia bring To halt the ruin OF so
many bright young men. and do our
great snare in the development and
uniting of the minds of our broth
ors and friends.
Discussion from the floor followed
the five papers and at the close Of the
session the delegates marched to City
hall ,vhere a group picture was taken
Of the antire conference and another
of the big Bangor delegation.

To the Kansas City Star:
In your issue Of September q
you have an extended article
from someone, who is pleased to
call himself a kansas Democrat

I may assume therefore that what

all that he claims for himself then
his name would have been ample

For almost thirty years l have
been :. intimately acquainted in

of Democracy, sometimes winning,
but'generally losing, yet never dis
couraged and ever ready for the
next contest. From such an ac-

know that there is no man, in
