THE TIMES.
sHUMAKER EXPLAINS.

f. S. Shumaker the Anti-Saloon
League man. made an explanation of
the attitude of the Disciples conven-
ton towards his society. He did this
privately before the meeting. THE
convention of Disciples OF Christ In
Hammond which rcpudiated the Anti
Saloon League did not represent the
sentiment Ct the church in any sense.
1t was cody without legislative pow
er. In tho Christian church the congre-
cation is all powerful. Nine-tenths OF
the congregations throughout the
state are working with the AntiS a-
loon League c. ]. Sharp. the pastor of
the Hammond church espoused the
cause at the convention and worked
against those who were against it"
HOARD OF STEWARDS CONVENE
The board of stewards OF which w
p. Mckenzie of Lebanon is president
met previous to the evening session
and portioned out the money for the
ensuing year to conference claiments
This claiments are superanuated
There are forty of them this year and
$4,000 to be divided. That leaves the
round sum of 5000 for each It is a
number of dollars in excess Of that
paid last year The committee felt en-
couraged.

CHURCH LITERATURE.

1t has been my aim to place our
literature in all of our Sunday schools,
and we have been able in a large
measure to accomplish our purpose.
Quite successful campaign was wag-
ed during the year In the interest of
the Advocate. and in almost every
charge there was a good increase In
the number of subscriptions. Our peo-
pie perish for lack of knowledge
knowledge Of our own great church,
The Advocate supplies this lack. wher-
ever the Advocate finds a place in our
Methodist homes. there is a marked in
terest awakened in the work of the
church.
wOMAN'S WORK.
The most potent forces in our work
are the organizations of the women OF
the church. Almost every church has
n live active Ladies' Aid Society which
has a large place in the material sup
port of the church. Many of our
church buildings and parsonages would
fall into decay. and many of our min
listers would have a deficiency in their
salarys If were not for the existence
and work of this organization.
DEACONEss.
We have one Deaconess employed on
the district. Miss Merrill. at Rossville
The Lord has most wonderfully blessed
her labors. especially with the young
people. Notwithstanding the many In
fiuences that are calculated to draw
them away she has been able to hold
them in the active services of the
church. 1t would be TO the best inter

Il am led to refer to the tenure of

like the sheen of the moonlight on a
river. Christ's mission. he stated. was
to reveal the pity and fatherhood OF
God and establish the brotherhood of

in the fields" Hanly said, land by this
simple ministry changed the laws of
nations and overthrow the affairs of
false religions. His name is emblazon-
ed and slorihed."
A CLIMATICAL MEETING.
'I.ayman's Night furnished a climax
for the Sixty-second Northwest Indi-
ana Conference. The big gun was Ar

that Ex-Governor Hanly is the greatest

great will develop i'm the remaining
four days.

II is the verdict of all who attended
this year-that the meeting this year
was one of the best ever held on these
historic grounds. Drs. Grose. Leese-

some of the ministers of our own CON
ference. preached with great power and
acceptabiiity. high standard of
evangelism characterized their minis
trations.
EVANGELISM.
The work along this line during the
past year has not been as extensive as
we have desired. The pastors held re-
vival meetings. but unfavorable wealth
er and other conditions over which had
no control hindered the work. This
was especially true in the country
charges. Notwithstanding the hinder
ances several of the charges had good
revivals. and a goodly number were
converted and added to the church.

Preachers Can't Save.
I'm Los Angeles in 1904 a resolu-
tion authorized the appointment of a
commission of three bishops. three
preachers. and three laymen. to sub
nit for the action of the next general
conference new laws for conference
claimants. l was one of that commits
sion and have been in close touch with
the subject ever since.
There was unanimity of consent
that the economic welfare of the
church as wen as fidelity to the
preacher retired because of sickness
or age, demanding that he have con-
tinuing income. 1t was recognized
| that the average salary (then about
5000 could not provide a competence
for old age, for premature dis
| ability 1t was admitted that there is
an increasing tendency to either re-
tire the preacher or assign to a low
salary charge at a not very advanced
age While in the secular world there
is an increasing tendency not to give
employment to men of advanced age
if without experience in the work they
seek. And so to enter the ministry
must be to expect rather premature
retirement with slight hope of any in
come from other sources
All of these facts seemed to de-
mand, with a logic not to be misunder-
stood, with an emphasis not to be dis
regarded, that the church should not
delay the development of methods that
in dependable way would provide for
the superannuate.
The Limit Too Low.
IF the preacher voluntarily retires

think in equity forfeited all right to
