zion forward movement Mr.. Leon
ard spoke in behalf OF the men and
boys of the church, advocating the
growth OF church 6rotherhoods and
IL ter-denominational church societies.

apparent. These are times when rell-
gious ana moral restraints are easily
dis regarded. and the masculine ele-
ment noted for its lack of interest in
the church, is necessary to fight the
battle essential to a viGtrry for right
oousness
The men in the cnurcn nave never
done anything worthy of their strength
in passing the interests of the King
dom. They have never done anything
Commensurate with their great ac-
fievements in the Industrial, CONNER
Cial and political world. Who are
promoting this movement? The

the International Sunday school as
sociatlon, and the Young Mems
