a presiding elder but choose rather to
be a station preacher. He lives in
Arcadia where he served them three
years as pastor, superannuating the
third year of the third term in 1910.
The mornings were given to lectures
and addresses, following half hour
of devotional services. Two lectures,
or addresses were delivered every
morning.
DR.. Grass Alexander, Book Editor
and Editor of the Review, was one of
the stars of the Assembly. His gem
eral theme was "The Kingdom of
God" He is scholarly, brilliant, and
at times dramatic, and always impress
sive. He was much enjoyed and ap-
preciated by the audiences, which
steadily increased at the hour of his
lecture from day to day for the whole
ten days that he remained.
Rev. O. F. Reid, D. D., General
Secretary of the Laymen's Movement
of our church, delivered three splen-
did speeches, on different phases of
mission work. The people said that
his address on conditions in China was
the most masterful thing of its kind
they had ever heard.
Hon. G. M. Hay, who led the sue
cessful fight in Missouri Legislature
last winter for the passage of the Lo-
cal Option Bill, and who is himself a
jealous Methodist, made a fine ad-
dress on "Good Citizenship" 1t was
not cheap performance, like that of
the average politician, but a fearless,
thoughtful, utteranee on the duty and
power of good citizenship. DIR. Nc
Murry introduced Mr.. Hay as "The
Next Governor of Missouri" So be
| it!
One day was called "College Day."
Representatives of the conference
schools and colleges occupied the
time, and DR.. Stonewall Anderson,
Secretary of the General Board of
Education, delivered an address.
On "Sunday School Day." Rev.
Paul Fl. Linn, d. D., of st. Louis, was
chief speaker. DR.. Linn is an able
speaker and was heard with great
pleasure by the audience. He was
my room mate while he was at the
encampment, and increased the al
ready good opinion had entertained
concerning him.
There were other lecturers and
preachers who performed acceptable
service, but did not stay throughout
the whole time and therefore can not
give complete report.
Was glad to meet Rev. H. T. Reed
again, who is now located at Freder
icktown and is President of Marvin
College. He made inquiry about his
Kentucky friends, and Kentucky
Wesleyan College, where he was edu-
Gated. Met Roy Basler also, another
Kentuckian, who is now pastor at
West Plains, Mo-, and is considered
one of the ablest and most promising
young men of the st. Louis Confer
ence. Met several other Kentuckians,
as one will always do when visiting
in any part of the State of Missouri.
A day was given to the Epworth
League cause, and DR.. F. s. Parker,
the accomplished General Secretary,
was ON hand, but I did not get to hear
his address.
The music of the Assembly was good
and was led by the preachers of the
conference, supported by a volunteer
choir. The young ladies of Missouri,
known as the "Wisdom Sisters" fur
nished special music. They not only
charmed the hearers with their sing
ing, but showed great discernment in
selecting appropriate songs for the
OtduSOllbUlC 6Ol NlOOb. Lucy d1O Ofl
IDENTIFY very religious young women.
TheIW Wisdom Sisters, Nellie, Lottie and
Bernice, are from Mason, Mo. Two
of the girls attended Howard Payne
school at Fayette, Mo. In country
revival meeting in 1906 where they
we're singing the revivalist suggested
that they give themselves wholly to
singing in revivals. For six years they
did so during vacation season, two
Of the girls at that time being school
teachers. For last the year they have
given all their time to singing in revival
meetings and special meetings of sum-
mer assemblies.
If the Arcadia Assembly continues
to be dominated by the evangelistic
spirit, as now, and is not allowed to
degenerate into mere resort for
pleasure and entertainment, it will be-
comea great influence for good.
