the slogan regarding the work in
churches. Let an individual lead a
boy toward better things and finally
TO a personal faith in Christ by taking
him to a baseball game. giving, him an
opportunity to enjoy a picnic with
other boys and by other methods of
shedding sunshine into his life in a
practical way. Finally. however, the
basic principle of the saving grace of
he man of Galilee is the rock upon
which the foundation Of the whole
movement is built.
Boys Work Important.
The boys work department of the
movement is one of the most import
ant subjects and offers infinite posi-
bilities for rich returns 1t is pro-
posed to bring the boys to an under
standing and an acceptance TO the
Christian religion by having for their
leaders menw no are strong and at
tract to themselves other men and
boys. Perhaps one Of the greatest
reasons why there are no more men
and boys in the churches and Sunday
schools is the fact that they have
women for teachers and leaders. "A
boy always wants to follow a man, he
wants to be a a and he always goes

ner in which to use these powers.
The e~ight-day campaign will open
here Sunday. March 10, and will con-
tinue up to and through the 18th.
Meetings will be held for the instruc-
ton of those interested in the different
phases of the work. and once each
day. or oftener. general religious
meetings for the public will he held.
Using the experience of other cities
where campaigns have already been
held, the local committee will make
every effort to have the field thor
oughly prepared for the work of the
experts.
Campaign Has Been Active.
The campaign in Grand Forks and
through the Grand Forks district has
been an intensely active one. Kirk

has travelled over 1000 miles in the
interests OF the convention here next

called for May Is. 1910.
When it came the plan met with So
much approval that a convention was
called to meet at Buffalo a few months
later. and at this convention the plan
which is now being worked out by the

was adopted.

Extreme Opinions.
There have long been two extreme
opinions regarding the proper work OF
salvation, the one holding that mans
spiritual being is all that one needs
to worry about m that the body is
only Il temporal affair and will take
care of itself. and the other holding
that salvation is obtained through
works. In other words, the old doc
trines of grace and works. In this
movement it has been recognized that
both are elements in the saving of the

pjority of boys after they reach a GER
tain age. 1t is believed, therefore.
that If men can be induced to lead the
boys in the Sunday school they will
go there with pleasure, first because
them en- go there. and second because
it is interesting--for where large
bodies of men gather the proceedings
will be filled with interest for boys.
The Men and Religion Forward
movement says that the boys must be
brought in the church. and that the
n way to do 1t is to get alongside
the boys. make ones self a boy, on
their own level and understand them
as fellow-beings.
