4 collection of more than 100 books
on bible study and religious education
is an important feature of the train
ing conference for men," which will
be put on the latter part of this week
by the Y. NJ. c. A. and the men of
the churches.
Fred s. Goodman, one of the ex-
perts who will be here TO speak dur
ing the conference, is "a well known
authority on bible study and religious
education. himself being the author
of several books on both lines. He
has made a special study of the best
books which are available for such
lines of work, and will bring with
him a selected set. which is to be
put on exhibition during the confer
ence sessions.
These books will be placed at the
public library Friday and Saturday,
and all who are interested will thus
have a chance TO inspect them in
convenient center, whether attending
the sessions of the conference or not.
Sunday school teachers and other
church workers will find much of in
terest and helpfulness in these books.
1t should be understood that the books
are not for sale by Mr.. Goodman, but
are merely for the purpose of helping
interested students of the problems
Of religious education to know what
books are TO be had on that theme.
ALL WILL HELP.
"Who will wait on the tables?" was
of Broadway Presbyterian Sunday
school yesterday. The side which was
behind in the attendance contest was
supposed to have to don aprons and
do the serving at the Mems club and
bible class supper next Friday night.
Neither side wanted the job.
Captain Schoessers side had a good
lead up to yesterday. and the men
were feeling quite independent, but
Captain Stewards stalwarts did lot of
gumshoe work, or some other kind of
work, and ran in such a group at yes
terday mornings session that it looked
Cor a while as though the Schoessel
followers would have to turn servers.
However, when the score was finally
totalled, 1t was discovered that the
two sides were just even-tied in the
number of points, and so they agreed
that the whole crowd will help with
serving Friday nights supper.
The larger number of men will un-
doubtedly be needed Friday night, as
the meeting is TO be one of unusual
magnitude. Men of all the churches
are to met with the Broadway club
Friday evening, in one of the sessions
of the training conference for men,"
and it is expected that the attendance
will put something of a strain even
on the unlimited hospitality of the
Broadway men. Men who wish to
have places at the table should notify
Hervey 4. Curtis, secretary of the
Broadway club, not later than Wednes-
day of this week.
The meeting of the mems class yes

which will no doubt develop much of
the greatest interest, and Of vital i'm
