devotion In religious work In France,
the difficult problem Of submerged
Christianity had to be faced, and it
was harder than to lift up those who
never had Christian knowledge. In a
French audience one must meet athe-
ism. He commended the methods OF
the McAll work, stripping off all the
non-essentials and presenting pure re-
ligion in all its simplicity, and free
dom from dogma and UNCONVENTIONAL
ism. God has tC1 much respect for
the truth to commit it all ID any one
creed" Some one has said that when
once you have made Christian in
France, you have made an apostle, and
the best way TO reach France is
through Frenchmen. Religious influ-
ence can turn mOb-leaderE into Gle s
leaders. Whatever is really religious
Is finally seen to Z, reasonable. The
beautiful idealiSm of the French can
find full satisfaction only in Christ.

was exceedingly, interesting, having
made herself very familiar with the
mission and workers when abroad.

M. Saiptbn, VINO is pastor of small
4 flock OF believers, gives considerable
time at certain periods of the year, to
automobile evangelism, and English
FRIENDS areg raising money to buy an
automobile for the mission, instead of
having to Z prov or hire one, as the
work is very productive of results. M.
Sainton hae Uttered thoucands and
tens of thouc. .ndS Of tracts and gospels
and portions of scripture, and Mr..
Berry caIled:fo Special gifts to cover
the expense of running the auto, and
otherwisel advancing the work. The
sum mentioned at first was $500, but
the enthusiasm of some Of the dele
gates rose to such a height that the
sum Of $773 was Sc IN pledged, fifteen
auxiliaries participating. 1t was a
| thrilling ton minutes.
"Forward" was the watchword
throughout the convention. Mr.. Berry
is bending every energy and proposes
to work d the full measure OF his
strength to secure at the very
least, a 100000 special fund for the
central administrative building In
Paris, before the f0rtieth anniversary
in 1912.
Mrs. John Fl. Scribner. the record
ing secretary, told what the Phila-
! delphia auxiliary has accomplished in
the forward movement in the past
year. First, They sought TO secure a
I McAll hearing in every Philadelphia
Protestant church through some one
OF the various organizations Of the
church.
Sabbath schools, young peoples so
cieties, prayer meetings and nine mis-
sionary societies responded, and mis-
sion study classes we're also a channel
for their work. Five receptions were
given by McAll ladies who invited
their personal friends who were not
McAll adherentS, and at each recep
tion there was some one present who
could talk McAll, thus informing those
who were not well informed, and per
haps knew nothing OF it.
The result In figures, was $500, but
the enthusiasm aroused, promises
much for next year. Auxiliaries were
earnestly exhorted TO try some or al
of these methods outlined and tested
by the Philadelphia society, g If it il
worth doing, do it "
First, true conservation, and then
resultant energy. (Allusion was made
to Mrs. Parkhurst's cOnsecrated
grit" in coming from New York de
spite weakness and pain.)
A call was made for a rising tOkeI
of acceptance OF the forward move
ment.
