INCREASING
INTEREST IN
CHRISTIAN
CONVENTION

l.
The attendance at the state con-
yention Of the Christian church here
ON Tuesday was highly gratifying
and the proceedings we're OF great
interest to all privileged to be pres
emit at its sessions. Some deviations
were made from the published pro-
gram owing to the absence Of two
or three of those assigned for the
discussions. but the time was advan-
tageously taken up by others and
was no less enjoyable by reason OF
the changes and substitutions. The
presence of a large number OF Can
on City people at both the morning
and afternoon sessions was keenly
appreciated by the convention Off
cials as showing public concern In
the gathering and as a manifesto
ton Of hospitality OF the community.
A more earnest. consecrated body Of
men and women than those compos-
ing the convention it would be diff
cult to imas.ne and it is sincerely
hoped that their stay in Canon City
will be as pleasing to them as 1t is
to their entertainers.
Tuesday evenings program was
helpful and entertaining and there
was a larger audience present than
.t any previous time to enjoy II.
The music was spirited and was an
excellent introduction to the splen-
did addresses that followed. The
Rev. Randolph Cook Of Trinidad.
president OF the convention, had
charge of the evening service and
presented to the assemblage Rev.
Clark Bower of Clifton. who spoke
on The Bible School. Its Yester-
days and Tomorrows."
He traced the history of the Sun
day school movement from its crude
beginnings under Robert Raikes at
Giouster. England. a little more than
a cntury ago. down to the present
time; showing how 1t had grown in
to one OF the mightiest forces in
the world for the uplift of human
ity and was the great recruiting
ground of the church. The possi-
bilities OF the Sunday school. he
said. were almost illimitable and IT
was everywhere becoming a better
organized and more potent agency
in the exaitation OF mankind.
The anual report OF Rev. c. L.
Dean Of Loveland as state superin-
tendent was made to the convention
Tuesday night and contained some
interesting statistical matter in
relation to the growth OF the Chris
tian church in Colorado during the
past year. The report was in the
main a gratifying one. although it
was plain from the figures presented
by Rev. Dean that much remained to
be done before the evangelization OF
the state was complete. He said
that comparatively little effort was
being made by any Of the evangeli-
cal churches TO reach the miners In
the coal fields OF southern Colorado
and he deplored the fact that so lit
tie was being done there. One of
the hopeful signs of the times. ac-
cording to Rev. Dean. was co-opera-
tive spirit shown by the different
churches In religious work and the
trend towards Christian unity.

Each proud state in her diadem

And knowledge is her sire:

Incline our hearts to peace.

May that past struggle. dread and

To prove that growth is beings law

Be aye a lesson redly writ
OF warnings lightly spurned.
May every skull that chanceliors-
