with the royal entertainment af-
| forded them by the people of Wausau.
| The reports of the various officers
| and committees showed the associa-
| ton to be prosperous to a degree.
| The missionary activities are growing
and the rapid growth of the churches
| by baDtisms indicate a marked en /.
| phasis placed on evangelism.

need of help from Christian countries
The final address of The meeting
was made by DR. ID. w. Hulburt of
Wauwatosa, who is secretary of the
state convention, and the most infiu-
entail of Wisconsin Baptists. DIR.
Hulburt announced his subject as
Nineteenth Century and TWEEN
tieth Century Unitication." In an
address sparkling with humor and
bristling with pertinent facts, DIR.
Hulburt held his audience for an
hour. He contrasted the tendency TO
and differentiation of
the last century with that toward
ratification of the present century.
This unification presents an oppor-
tunity for more effective work. and at
the same time conditions in the state |
are such that the strength of the
church will be taxed to the utmost
The constant influx of European
people whose ideals and habits are
un-American, and the growing tend
ency toward lax living among our
people, constitute challenge to
Christianity which must be met
promptly.
Before adjournment, the association
accepted the Invitation OF the Sake
vile church to meet there next year,
and Rev. o. d. Briggs was appointed to
preach the annual sermon.
Resolutions of greeting were sent
to the state convention Of Christian
Endeayor, meeting across the street
at the First Presbyterian church, and
the greetings were returned in person
by representative appointed for the
purpose by the Endeavorers.
Resolutions were also passed con-
demning the LIQUOR traffic.
