said. lis not for the Ang1icanizing of the heather nor to make Methodists or Presbyterians out of them, but the work Is for the Christianizing of the world. Christian civilization" he said, '4s the most humane the world are socialisttc. To me it seems as If the world was changing from one of individual license to individual order"
 Another reason for the success of the movement he found in the inspira- ton that always comes with 8 mass movement of any kind. Tt is not so much denominational as 1t Is Chris tian," he said. Again, he referred to men working for betterment of con- ditions without a campaign. They have been working" he said, 'uncon- scious of each others efforts. The spirit of the age is the spirit of con- centration-
 'If we are to make a success of this movement" he said, i've must not in- terfere with the home mission nor the home congregation. If we do, the movement will fall"
 The speaker then told of the broad field for concerted efforts of this kind which he saw if this missionary move ment Is the success that it now prom ises to be. There could be great mass movement for civic welfare, i'm provements in country districts, where they are sorely needed, and a move ment for world wide peace. The whole trouble has been, he said, the want of an inspiration and an ideal
 Laity Taken to Task.
 He took the laity to task for load ing so much work upon the shoulders of the clergy, more than the clergy can do, and then blaming them and talking about the inefficiency of the ministers. ''Ifs the laymen's own fault" ho said. Think of the inspira- (CaAAsaMaB - asa vage srdt seamnn)

Furthermore. they did not interest thi men who should be most interested. Such speeches as mot less than 20 and not more than 40" failed to interest the very persons for whom they were intended. He referred to the faith and enthusiasm of wollen in mission ary movements, and said that their faith had not yet been able to deplete to any great extent the pocketbooks of business men. Business men, he said, required reasons for laying out their money, and they had little time to att tend two or three meetings a month to learn about the work. The work of interesting men in missions, he said, has got to be done at one fell swoop, and that is the object of the meetings of this convention.
 Missions Worth While.
 Continuing, he said: President Taft has been around the world and has reported missions are worth while. Bryan has also been around the world and reports missions worth while. So have Ambassador Bryce snd body of 60 intelligent business men and they report the same.''
 The first speaker was R. Fulton Cutting of New York. His subject was Reasons for the Success of the Movement"
 'The project of this movement" he Sdlu, IS tO pTCdCH Il0 SOSpcl IO every living creature in this generation. A Utopian project surely. Is it not it's Utopianism and Christian optimism which has so stirred the people on this side of the ocean?"
 Here he pointed out the optimism in several of the worlds great men who have done great things Their efforts, he said, seemed Utopian, but they brought results Hitch your wagon to star,, was the keynote of MT. Cuttings address.
 There is in every heart the impe- rious note of self-immolation. Even in hard headed business men there is just as much idealism as ever there was. What they need, and what we need, is Simply to be told the kind of an attitude we must reach.
 We are setting before us Q high ideal and 1t Sis we'll that we should. Our ideal should be high enough to reach above our ambition. One of the reasons he said, flor the success of the movement was the k1ndling of the ambition and the appeal to the imagination by this ideal.
 "In the past" he said, linen have been working for the uplift of society, but they had been conscious of their impotence because of lack of 1>ity. They had no great scheme of cam paign. They let the Issues go.

DR. ". H. DONALDSON ON FIGHT AGAINST
 THE WHITE PLAGUE
Deplores Apparent Inaction in Fairfield County and Asks Cooperation in
 Humane, Crusade.

Editor Farmer: Sir:
 Recent articles appearing in the press concerning the affairs of the Fairfield County Anti Tuberculosis Association are so misleading and so far from the. truth as to call for protest from one who has been with the movement from the start and who is in a position to know. The statements about the recent meeting of the directors must have come from member of the board as no one else was present at any time during the meeting.
 Such questionable zeal on their part can be readily understood by an intelligent public, and their value to such an organization is apparent. So far as I know no satisfactory financial statement has ever been rendered to the contributing public. This is pos sibly one reason why the funds have not been more literally re- plenished of late. Altogether about $4,OO0 have been contri- buted every dollar of which has been judiciously expended.
 No bill that I have knowledge of has been paid without proper endorsement and the order of the executive committee, and I believe that covers most of the money, if not all, that has been expended.
 The funds have been we'll spent in the equipment and mainten- ance of two fine and up-to-date dispensaries, an exhibit in two cities, classes of instruction, a visiting nurse, eggs, milk, etc., as well as the necessary office secretary and stenographer.
 If it was proper to enter into personalities I would deny any thing like "a passage at arnls'' with a we'll known official named.
 His zeal and valued advice, as we'll as time has been unStlntedly given to the work from the first and no one appreciates it more than the subscriber. The cause however is not benefited by per- sona1 matters.
 Tn closing let me ask: Is Fair field County going to be the first place in the country to make fizzle of this, one of the grandest of Humanitarian movements Of the times?
 Are the people of Bridgeport and the surrounding towns, boast ing-active in so many philan- thropies, going to let this, the noblest of all, die of neglect?

 Good Congregations.
 Good congregations attended the morning and evening services yester- day where special speakers were as- signed to talk about the movement. Except in two instances the program as printed Saturday was carried out.
 William T. Ellis who was assigned to speak at the Park Street Congre- gational church in the evening was unable because of his physical condi- tion to speak. Instead w. H. Cush- ing of Boston and John B. Sleman, IT,, of Washington addressed the con gregation.
 At the Washington Park Methodist church Rev. Robert Black spoke Tn place of the Hon. Henry B. H. Mac Farland of Washington who nad 10 return home.
 At all the services there was abund- ant evidence of deep interest among the congregation in the movement.

GLADYS GERALD IS POSING AS
 D. A. R. MARTYR
HER DISMISSAL BY THE PREr-. DENT GENERAL FOR sTNguB-
 ORDINATION' IS LIKELY TO RESULT IN A SUIT AGAINST MRS. SCOTT.
Special from United Presss'

 Washington, Feb. 28.-with the air 1, center of a teapot tempest that threat ems an upheaval of the national or ganization of the Daughters of the American Revolution, resumed her work in the offices or the Daughters today, despite the fact that she has been dismissed by the president-gen- eral, Mrs. Julia c. Scott.
 Miss Gerald, who was dismissed for ''insubordination" declares that the real reason for Mrs. Scott's action was "snub" administered by the "in- subornate' Daughter to Mrs. Amos c. Draper. chief lieutenant of Mrs. Scott. The fact is also mentioned that Miss Gerald's mother is in the van of the "insurgent faction" of the Daughters which is opposing the factional dis putes, with the possibility of. move ment demanding the impeachment of Mrs. Scott, crowded out even Easter millinery as a topic of conversation among the Daughters today.
 Attorney L. Cabell Williamson, for Miss Gerald, said today that a suit for damages against Mrs. Scott was probable.
 'T have written to Mrs. Scott" he said, informing her that she did not appoint Miss Gerald and would have no authority to make such an appoint ment. She certainly exceeded her rights when she dismissed her. As the matter now stands Miss Gerald has not been legally removed and no charges have been preferred, so have advised her to go about her duties. I have also advised Mrs. Scott to reg cind her order"
 With both sides retaining counsel and the possibility of a fight in court, lines are pretty sharply drawn be- tween the opposing factions What will these women do next?" said one Daughter today. "A girl snubs one Of them because she is hostile to her mother and loses her only means Of support in consequence. It seems pret- ty hard to me that the girl must be the victim of factional fight"

STATEMENT BY VIM. HUSBAND.

Tae subjoined statement is furnished by the undersigned:
 ''The report that has been circulated regarding William Husband, (colored), of 514 Lindley street and his neglect of his wife during critical illness, is wholly without foundation. William Husband is a day laborer, and the care of furnaces takes him from his home at a very early morning hour. The Sunday morning in question he had left at an early hour, notified a doc tor to be in attendance upon his wife. and gone his usual round of work. On his return, he found his wife had been carried to hospital, and the report circulated of neglect, and of ignorance as to his whereabouts both of which statements were incorrect. Also his children were cared for by their aunt, and not by neighbors as was stated
