Conservative Man Fails.

tive man who falls Wealth, politics,
society. have the opportunity Of a Nico-
demus, he said, but like Nicodemus, the
man with the lost opportunity. too many
are found wanting.
Justice Thomas H. Anderson, OF the
District Supreme Court, introduced Dr.
Gunsaulus.
Rev. DR.. Campden Cobern, who spoke
in the afternoon, told of explorations
OF the lost oasis" OF Arabia and OF
journeys in Arabia, Palestine and other
lands associated with early periods Of
the Bible.
Rev. DR.. Newell Dwight Hills, pastor
of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, the
principal speaker at the morning session.
told with simple elOquence, of the
methods of teaching which Christ used.
saying that Jesus talked about what God
was doing, not about what God had done.
Rev. N. B. Williams was the other
speaker of the day. He declared that
parents should take more care Of their
children. keeping them out OF the streets.
They are not teaching their chiIdI en-
the doctrines Of the church." he said.

Europe's mailed fist, smashing the
homes OF the weak, aged and defense
less, on the armed principle that
might makes right" was held up as
an object Of horror to an enlightened
age at the Worlds Bibfe Conference
yesterday in q stirring address by
Rev. DIR. Frank n. Palmer.
Europe, soaked In blood today, be-
cause the church's Christianity Is not
Christs Christianity" was painted in
second address before the confer
ence last night by Rev. DR.. Frank
lGunsaulus.
Calm and serene, Secretary of
State Bryan sat through DR.. Gunsaulus'
address at the First Congregational
Church which was packed to its ca
pacity. 1t was the only reference to the
European situation that the speaker
made. Announcement was made that
Secretary Bryan will preside and ad-
dress the conference at It's meeting
tomorrow night.
That the warning nations today
should heed the ancient Jews of the
Jewish race. which protected the weak
and defenseless from harm by armed
forces. as exemplifed in the Bible, was
the declaration Of DR.. Palmer.
Duty to Protect Weak.
sEdlA men see lLt uulg VI IAN
ing the side OF the weak he asked
When will nations again see Il their
duty to defend a weaker nation or re-
spect the rights Of a weaker nation Eu-
rope at war heeds none OF these things
None OF these ancient lessons fostered
by the Jewish race are practiced by
nations now in this civilized age.
When q Jewish man built his home,
IL was against the law for him to sur
round 1t with battlements. When the
Jews went to war. 1t was against their
law for armies to injure the fruit trees
that were the sustensnce of the people.
The law made provisions for the care of
all those who could not care for them
selves. 1t was against the law to molest
the weak or the aged. to put obstacles
in the way OF the blind, whether IN
peace or in war
Radicalism, not conservatism. in poll
tics. craftsmanship. thought. action. and
living was the underlying argument ad-
vanced by DR.. Gunsaulus in his address,
last night
Conservatism, he declared, Is practi-
cally a dead issue. Radicalism is the
root OF civilization. Taking from the
Bible the story OF Nicodemus, the con-
servative man. who failed to grasp the
opportunity offered him by Christ. DIR.
Gunsaulus pointed to the failure OF the
conservative man in modern life to meet
the situation in whatever his sphere of
life.

Other Opinions.

The following are extracts from let
ters from prominent men who live in
Local Option counties. So ~
''The Eastern Shore is very prosper
Gus aud ! attribute a great deal of this
prosperity to the fact that liquor is not
easily obtained. l have no doubt that
your county and all Southern Mary
land would be greatly benefited if the
sale of alcoholic drinks could be elimi-
mated. GEO. w. WOOLFORD,
President Eastern Shore Trust Com
pany, Dorchester county.
81 have never had any hesitation in
saying, publicly or privately, that, in
my opinion, our county has been
greatly benefited by our Anti-Liquor
Legislation. Indeed, it would be al
most impossible to get a different
opinion iiom any Intelligent or VOL iu-
formed uian in this community. The
people of Somerset county having
abonshed licensed saloons in all of The
Districts, more than a quarter of a
century ago those of us who have
lived here in the intervening period
and have witnessed the good results, l
believe, are agreed, with practical un-
animity, that only unmixed evil would
follow restoration Of the saloon any
where in our confines.

Many local game bills were passed
at the last session OF the Legislature
and where these conflict with the uni
form State law, the State uniform law
takes recedence over all local ones,

season Oh game now in this State is
November 10 to Decent err "a. Where
the Federal migratory bird law affects
the State dates, the former takes pre-
cedence. November to February l
is the date set for shooting duck, geese
and swan by the Federal statute, aud
that Is the law which must be obeyed,
not the state one.

ceived from sportsmen as to just what
