|ROUSING SESSION ENDS
LAYMEN'S MISSIONARY MEET
Big Banquet Followed BY Number Of Practical Addresses
Last Evening COMMITTEE Named to Organize the
Work on Systematic Basis IN Fargo.

was born. He had to do with its In
ceptlon and he reviewed the splendid
accomplishment during the four short
years of its existence. Men Of the
world had been interested in missions
as they never had, before they better
understood the true meaning OF mis-
sions
Important By-products of the Pres
ent Missionary Awakening, was the
subject assigned TO ]. Campbell White
who spoke with an earnestness and
force which revited the closest atten-
ton Of the zoo men he was addressing
for over an hour. He cited seven by
products OF the laymen's missionary
movement: First-Far better and
more thorough system is being intro
duced into all church finance. The
attempt to put the missionary side
of the church's work on a systematic
basis has had the effect of stimulating
the church officers to apply these same
principles to the entire financial prob
lem which confronted them.
"Second-The number Of systematic
givers has been greatly increased.
"Third-Far higher standards of
christian stewardship are being ac-
cepted
"Fourth-A far larger proportion
Of the laymen of the church are be-
coming active in christian service.
This is certainly among the most
striking of the results Of the move
ment. There are $500 men reported
as serving on committees in connec-
ton with the Y. NJ. c. A. The COM
mittee service being the associations
chief method of developing lay ac-
tivity. But single denominations have
more than this now serving on their
missionary committees of the indi-
vtdual churches.
''Fifth-The fifth great result OF the
missionary awakening is the re-es-
tablishment of the faith Of a multi
/ tude of men in christianity as the only
force that can purify and save human
| society throughout the world Chris
getic than the modern missionary with
its marvellous effects on the lives Of
individuals and nations.
'Sixth--The sixth conspicuous re-
suit Of the laymen'S movement is a
growing spirit of cooperation and
church unity. No one church can
solve the missionary problem alone,
as all Of them undertake it cooper
atively they are being drawn ire
sistibly far much closer together.
"Seventh-It is becoming more evil
dent that the only difference is that
of geography. If men are worth saw
ing anywhere they are worth saving
everywhere. If Christ is essential to
me, am bound to carry the knowl-
edge of Him to the last man in the
world who needs Him. There Is no
competition between christian work in
different parts of the world"
The closing address was made by
the venerable Colonel Halford. He
said 1t is now up to you men to start
socething and to illustrate his point
related, as only he can, the story Of
the Methodist at the Quaker meeting.
The churches have got to stop trif1ing.
Get acquainted with the work, and
then become equipped for that work.
1t is simply and solely a labor and
duty for the Individual and not for
the masses. With the announcement
Of the benediction, by Dean Dowling.
the meeting adjourned.

| The I4aymen's Missionary conference
which opened so auspiciously on Sum
day afternoon came To a close last
night with a mems super which was
night with q mems supper which was
the First Congregational church. Over
/ 200 partook of a splendid meal served
by the ladies of the church. A bevy
of young ladies acted as servers.
| w. j. Clapp presided and surround
! ing him at the table at the head of
the room were DR.. ]. Campbell White,
Col. e. L. Halford, President Creegan
of Fargo college, Dean Bowling. Rev.
tC. C. Rollitt, secretary Of the sixth
missionary district of the Episcopal
church, Rev. Mr.. Macnamara and Rev.
C. R. Adams OF the Presbyterian
church. Grace was said by Rev. M.
RoIlitt.
The after miner proceedings were
opened with brief remarks by w. J.
Clapp from the chair, after which he
called upon Frank w. Pearson to read
the report ON statistics based on mis-
sionary reports from thirteen churches
in the city. This report will be placed
on file and 1t will be the basis, in con-
work which has been decided upon.
which will show the progress that is
being made in Fargo.
A stirring address as made by the
Rev. G. r. Adams who discussed the
local missionary outlook, which he said
was encouraging because of two con-
spring sets of circumstances, one Of
which was the stimulating influence of
the first laymen's convention held in
Fargo year ago. A gathering of the
kind he was then addressing would
have been impossible a year ago and
the majority of his present hearers well
know it. This supper in itself was an
encouragement and he had faith that
| it would prove the pivot for splendid
results.
The Committee of Workers.
Pursuant to an action taken in the
afternoon, Secretary Wolf of the Y. NJ.
G. A. read the report of the nominat-
ing committee to which was entrusted
the work of nominating a committee
Of management for the ensuing year to
consist of not less than twelve men.
Mr. Wolf reported that a committee
of nine had been chosen as follows:
w. ]. Clapp, John S. Frame, H. H.
Aaker, w. ]. Lane, G. H. Kryder, f.
w. Pearson, Rev. A. e. Peterson of
the Baptist church. Rev. G. Dewitt
Bowling, dean of Gethsemane cathe-
dral and Rev. Arnold o. Ulvestad of
the First Lutheran church. The re-
port was adopted and the gentlemen
named win proceed to organize a per-
manent auxiliary in Fargo to the Lay
mems National Missionary movement.
A short, but very snappy address
was made by Rev. G. G. Rollitt who
said he was a firm believer in the
work of the L. NJ. M. because it was
direct, 1t went right to the man him
self, not through the medium OF lawn
socials, pink teas and oyster suppers
of days gone by. The evangelization
Of the world was too big thing for
that. Christ never intended that It
would be done that way. He liked the
L. M. M. because 1t was expansive, it
covered the whole earth, 1t took in
everyone.
In brief and very stimulating talk
DR.. Creegan was somewhat remini-
scent. He knew the L. M. NJ. before it

CURLING the Criminal.

The San Francisco man who was
largely instrumental in bringing to JUS
tice Abe Ruef and some of his co-cor-
ruptionists in that city, writing in a
magazine, now advocates Ruefs liberia
ton from the state penitentiary on the
comforting theory that he has ceased
to believe our economic problems can
be solved by imprisoning men who do
wrong. He says that so long as public
necessities are controlled by private
corporations, civic corruption will
exist.
OF course, he is not the first to be-
lieve or preach this doctrine. Many
divergent views are held as to the best
way of dealing with men who refuse
to be decent or obey the law and much
false sentiment is wasted in airing
those views. Ruef, this writer says,
is victim of the system. So are those
citizens of San Francisco who do not
believe in plundering the public for
private pelf. What of them?
Why build prisons and frame penal
codes? There is a world of difference
between the child who does wrong, or
the woman who errs, or even some
men who, without criminal intent, fall
into evil ways, and that man who en-
ploys a keen intellect in the systematic
corruption OF other men to the one end
of gaining public authority and SELL
ing it to the highest bidder for private
gain. There is a difference between
this man, who studies to do wrong, and
the other who only incidentally falls
into evil ways. If we do not punish
the willful, deliberate criminal in
prison, what course of treatment
should we apply?
The hollowest fallacy of all these
sentimental theories is the complete
absence of a tangible substitute for
existing correctives. A space-writing
philosopher, once a minister, has re-
Gently said that all punishment is
wrong and must be abolished, but even
he offers nothing in place of 1t. We
no longer imprison criminals out of a
spirit of revenge, but the need to pro-
tect society against It's destroyers was
never more urgent.

Beauty of the Autumn Woods.

What fine thing 1t would be II
more of us had the time and oppor-
tunity to take our vacations in the
autumn and visit the woods. Nowhere
and at no time is nature more inspir-
ing in its grandeur. Many people go
to the northern forests in the summer
for relief from the heat and it is an
experience worth while, but the north
ern woods are grandest in the autumn.
One writer who thinks so, thinks
he must disagree with James Cullen
Bryant, who said that the autumn
days are the saddest of the year -
Yet it seems to us necessary to take
issue with the poet, to appreciate the
impressive beauty of the fall-time. II
is the season of decay and death and
no doubt, that is what Bryant had in
mind when he wrote, The melancholy
days have come, the saddesr Of the
year" Surely there is melancholy
and sadness in death, though it be
even in the falling of fading leaves,
but still it is beautiful and impressive
in it's solemnity.
Tho scared and yellow leaf" loses
none of it's natural charm because the
bloom and verdure of springtime
have gone. The forest primeval" of
the simple Acadians must have been
even more alluring at the close than at
the beginning of life there. SO the
invitation to come out in Gods glori-
GUS out-of-doors" should involve no
discussion of whether the autumn
days are the melancholy days or not
they are the days when the air is
celebrating and when nature is busy
in changing it's robes for winter to
protect it's delicate forms from the
rigors and these processes of change
reveal a world of wisdom and inspira-
ton if only we know how to imbibe
them.

COST OF FOOD.
Proposed Look Into the Profits of the
Middlemnn,
Waahinqtnn POat

4
Proposed Look Into the Profits of the
| Middlemnn,
Washington Post.
Announcement that the bureau OF labor
| is pursuing an exhaustive investigation
into the cost of food products to the con-
sumer as supplementary to similar investi-
cations by the Department of Agriculture
relative to the prices paid directly to the
producer, is a matter Of great interest
to the public. When the data now being
collected by the Bureau Of Labor are tabu-
lated and published, comparison between
these tables and those gathered by the
Department of Agriculture will enable one
to ascertain, with good degree OF exact
ness, what the cost of transportation and
distribution of foods really is. This import
ant item in the problem has never been
worked out satisfactory In any investga-
ton yet made.
The fact has been long established that
the price Of food products at the point OF
production has not increased in the last
ten years at the rate OF retail prices to
the consumer. The farmer, while partici-
patlng to some degrees in the rise, ac-
cording to the showing of the Department
of Agriculture, has not received more than
1.-THE of what the city dweller has been
obliged to pay for the same article. The
motive for this investigation by the Bureau
of Labor is the suspicion that the system
of gathering products, transporting them
to market, and distributing them has
placed an inordinate tax upon food.
This suspicion, right or wrong has been
forced upon the minds Of the majority OF
men who pay the bills for food in the
cities. They have been DESTROYS for long
time OF finding out whether the series OF
enterprises which furnish food products
were being too we'll paid for the service
rendered. 1t will be TRULY significant to
find out whether the agencies contained in
the word "middlemen" are holding prices
down to the roduoer and at the same time
boosting them up to the consumer. There
is no way to discuss this subject fairly
until some agency with competent facilities
