To my mind. there IS one very strong reason, 8 reason comprehensive, inclu- stve and convincing. This is the fact that the Christian propaganda has never faced 50 serious a proposition as at the present time, when man is being taught the great infinitude of time, space and power. The great question of modern life Is whether man is to be more of a freeman or more of slave than in former days; whether man is to be the master of his achievements or a slave or victim thereof.
 "A little religion will not do for a big world such as this has come to be, but we have cause for great re- joicing in the fact that we are taking larger Interpretation of Christian idealisms, In the olden days, the realm of religious idealism was di- vided into secular and sacred. But we are Outgrowing this and getting broader conception of religion, em- bracing therein all nations and all mankind, ana for every aspect and phase of the life of man.
 World Needs Leaders.

an interesting theme at Wednesday evenings session, which was arrang- ed as the anniversary of the board of education, and the new life at the local educational institution of the denomination, situated in Kent county, Rhode Island, was interestingly pre- sented by Rev. J. Caleb Justice of the academy faculty.
 A special and enjoyable feature of the evenings service was the musical programme furnished by the mems chorus and orchestra of St PauPs church Of South Providence, under the direction of J. D. Vanderbeek.
 aRev. MT. Justice was the first speak CT. He discussed in an exhaustive manner the growing needs of an edu- cation to fittingly equip a young man of the present day to cope with the problems of life. He said that with the increased number of free high schools throughout the country, the cry had gone forth that the denomina,- tional institution was doomed. He pointed out, however, that with the conditions confronting the civilized world today, the first need of man was knowledge. The burdens of this century, he said, were upon the labor ing classes, and the solution of the great social problem was to be found through knowledge. To obtain this

 The reading of the annual reports of the superintendents of the three dis tricts occupied the entire period of the mornings business session of the con- ference until the devotional hour at lQ.30 o'clock, led by Bishop Anderson. These reports showed that all the dis tr1cts had enjoyed a successful year and that the prospect for the coming year was encouraging.

The insuftielency Of ministers sal aries and the necessity of raising the minimum mark were forcibly empha- sized by the district superintendents at thursdays business meeting of the New England Southern conference of no Methodist Episcopal church held at

 Each of the superintendents advo- cated more liberal compensation for the men who devote their lives for the betterment and uplifting of humanity, and called attention to the agitation regarding the wage question and in- creased cost of living that is going on throughout the world. The question asked by Dr. Coultas was: ''While the problem of minimum wage in affairs industrial is being considered by na- mons and legislatures, why should 1t not also be considered by ecclesiastical conferences?''

 Tells About Academy.
 Referring to East Greenwich acad- eny, the speaker sand: Within your borders, your own academy, 110 years old, has caught a vision of the possi- bilities of the newer education for life, and she calls upon you, her sup porters, to help her realize the vision as actual. The curriculum of East Greenwich academy is most diversified in its endeavors to meet the needs of modern hfe. It aims to be a highly specialized school for those planning for college, and for those making this the end of their school life, it plans to give all the necessary knowledge and culture that will make it truly the peoples college"

TAN SHOES ALL THE VOGUE
Edict of Fashion That Deslgnates This
Pretty Color VIII Be Welcomed
Buckles or Ribbons.

Tan shoes are again in fashion.
That light putty color which was SO
much in fashion in France last winter
and which one feared would become
fashionable here Is fortunately mis-
sing. All the Russian tans are used
in pumps, in Oxfords, and in two
eyelet ties. Buckles still take pre-
cedence i've ribbons, except In the
Oxfords and on pumps.
True, a wide number Of women pre-
fer the more or less huge buckle on
their pumps, but you will notice that
the w~ell-dressed woman who Is smart
ly turned out in every detail will wear
the plain pump, with its fiat bow Of
corded ribbon. such as the men wear,
no matter what its heel.
Buckles rightly belong to slippers,
but there is no breach OF good taste
in choosing one of kid, OF gunmetal,
or Of japanned metal on a pump Of
dull kid. If one ear patent-leather
slippers, with Spanish heels, then the
buckle may be of silver, Of gilt. or OF
cut steel, but 1t is to be hoped that
American women will go back to their
original method and keep this bril-.
liant footwear off the streets In the
morning hours.

In Atlantic City.

Atlantic City, July S:-The national
Prohibition convention, with nearly
/ 900 delegates in attendance, Will open
in this city Wednesday morning TO
nominate candidates for president M
vice president and map out plans for
the fall campaign. The Prohibitionists
believe that their party is in a position
to make a strong bid for national sup
port in November and the convention
promises to be one of the most interest
ing in years. i.
In addition to the vital question of
prohibiting traffic in liquor, the con-
venton expects to wrestle with the
problem of woman's suffrage and some
form of the initiative, referendum n
recall.
Many delegates already are in the
city and practically all of the members
of tho national committee are here for
the meeting of that body tomorrow
night. This meeting is expected to be
a lively one. National Chairman Charles
R. Jones will have several opponents
when he comes up for reelection, n
of the most formidable spoken of being
w. G.. Calderwooa, of Minneapolis, sec
rotary of the committee.
The race for the presidential nomlna-
ton appears to be an open one. Eu-
gene W. Chain, of Illinois and Arizo-
ma, who headed the party ticket four
years ago, is again being urged for the
place, and there is a decided boom on
for his running mate at that time,
Aaron s. Watkins, of Ohio. The Min
nesota state delegation is coming to the
convention instructed for Charles Sean
lon, of Pittsburgh, general secretary OF
the Presbyterian temperance committee.
MI. Seanlon has declared he would not
be a candidate, but when he arrives
here, his friends will urge him to re-
main in tn race. R. Fl. Patton, Of
Springfield, Ill, is another candidate
much talked of Joshua Lecering, Of
baltimore. the Prohibition standard
bearer in 1896, and Madison Larkin, Of
scraton, Pa, both appear to have an
enthusiastic following.
