Evening Program.
After the song service led by Rev.
Geo. B. Galley Of Marshall, MIMI, with
which the meeting Wednesday even
Ing was opened, Rev. Walter A. Snow
OF Fargo, secretary of the North Da-
kota Sunday school association adj
dressed the conference on "Co-opera-
ton Between the Educational and the
Missionary Forces Of the Sunday
School," Rev. Mr.. Snow, comparing
the two. said that the North Dakota
association was the educational part
and the, American Sunday School
union the missionary department He
argued that it was necessary to COM
! the two forces to make q strong
church. He laid special stress on the
need Of statistics and the religious
census. He suggested that the mis-
sionaries attend the Sunday school
conventions and take part in the pro-
grams, thus binding the two DEPART
ments more closely together. He al
SO gave a very strong talk on the
work OF the missionaries and how
much good they were doing. His adj
dress was very interesting and ap-
preciated by the visitors.
Following his address, Rev. R. w.
Roberts of Brainerd, Mimi, state
evangelist addressed the conference
on "Oour Endeavor Along EvangeNs-
tic Lines" His address was in part
as follows:
Evangelize according to Webster
means ito instruct in the gospel, to
preach the gospel to and convert to
q belief in the gospel" According to
this Interpretation every Christian is
OF should be an evangelist.
Our Lords commission to his
church, to preach the gospel, or evan
gelize the world, does not mean to
convert all men, but to bring the
glad tidings' to the ears of all men;
until this is done we cannot expect
His coming.

Will respond to 1t. While professional
the evangelist has a distinct place in
the work of the church, there is q
larger place and a larger demand for
the more obscure, personal evangelist.
THE Sunday school missionary is
this kind Of evangelist, every day he
brings the glad tidings to the other

bring results.
General Grant said while in Eu-
rope while being complimented on his
achievements at the head of the army,
There are thousands Of men in the
ranks who could have done as WE'LL
are the men in the ranks, doing
the work assigned US among the 9TH
erwise unreached.
The great Welsh revival was car
ried on by no professional revivalist,
not eve by preachers, but by conse-
Grated lay workers who took upon
themselves the burdens of evangelism,
until Wales vibrated with the songs
of Zion and hundreds Of thousands
were made happy in His love. These
happy conditions would never have
been brought about but by the conse
Grated and concentrated efforts Of
those who literally obeyed the ad-
monition Of the apostle, do the work
on an evangelist If we ever have
those results here in America, the lay
workers must become personal evan
gelists.
