had received from the churches and
how the church was responsible for his
desire to be leader among men.
Prof. Jourgenson answered to the
toast "Men and Their Relation to
the Boys of the Community Being
familiar with young life, Prof. Jour
censor handled his topic exceptionally
we'll and as climax to his argument
urged the fathers to become closer
friends to the boy and take them more
into confidence.
"The Church and the Press,'' was
responded to by Messrs. Mclaughlin
and Austin. Both men handled the top
ic in. a highly intelligent manner and
depicted not only the large amount of
good the church can do the press but
the immense amount of good the press
is able to do for the church.
At this juncture, Messrs. Flint fav-
ored the assembly with vocal duet.
J. Halliday, who has missed but four
services in the past four years, was
competent to handle the subject assign
ed to him of "Man's Place in the
Church" and was living example of
his own doctrine. "The Railroad Man
and the Church" was discussed by j.
| F. Walrath, conductor on the Great
Northern, and was among the best pre-
scented, for Mr.. Walrath gave a good
description from both angles of the
subject. Mr.. and Mrs. Blonde render
ed a vocal duet which was excellent.
The subject, "Interchurch Fellow
ship,'' given the ministers, the Rever-
ends c. S. Wallace, A. f. Clattenburg,
A. c.. Barron, A. B. Fail and Albert
Torbett. Their discussion of the topic
was from every phase of church life
and showed the strong harmony which
exists today between the sister organ
izations. Prof. Barnell also made a
short talk on the subject Of clean liv-
ing.
The affair as whole was one of the
most uplifting and clevating events
yet given in the city, for it touched on
the real life of a man and inspired
those present to better living, more no.
! bic efforts and better examples of true
manhood to the growing generation
that is to follow and who look towards
their fathers as a type of character
they wish to follow.
Rev. Torbett, the pastor who has re-
Gently become affiliated with the local
organization, is man Of very strong
personality, an earnest worker and is
fearless in his proclaiming Of the Cos
j pei. His work since arriving ain this
city has been marked with success and
in the gathering last night he was able
to meet with many of the business men
of the city who he has not been ac-
quainted with before.
