cess Of erection, and of the Odd
Fellows home at Ludlow, but the
greatest institution on earth is the
church of Christ His plea was diff

speaker, not for trained but for
consecrated workers with children.

selection.
1.-The Art of Object Teaching" by
Rev. G. H. Woolston D. D., of Phil
adelphia with demonstrations was
talk of absorbing IL teresr and held
the closest attention of all. He
brought greetings from the 112
Baptist churches in Philadelphia and
showed how his preaching was from
the text The kingdom of Heaven is
like unto" Moses was the first OBJ
Iject teacher. Christ was the great
object teacher and certainly Mr..
Woolston's demonstrations could
not fail to reach every child who
heard him as they did his older
hearers.

young men who have been thus
helped. Rev. j. r. Cow spoke on
What Vermont Pastors Can Do to
Induce Young Men to Enter the
Ministry" He said that there are
three essentials in every church, the
the house of worship, the pastor and
missions. Note that the pastor oc-
cupies the central position for with
out him there would be dearth and
famine in the church. He must be
we'll educated, therefore it behooves
us to give him a good start. Once
education was weighed in the bal
ance against spirituality but now we
want both. We still want to implant
Experience together with religious
zeal A man is a Christian only in
asmuch as he maintains his obliga-
ton to God and his fellowman.
