The rules governing registration will
be changed i'll some particulars from
those of last year. The age limit has
been raised from fourteen to fifteen ex-
cept for boys who live in Ithaca or near
enough to board at home. The most
important change will be the limit placed
on the number who may attend. Unless
plans are changed not more than two
hundred can be accommodated. This
makes it necessary for those who are
anxious to attend to register early. This
does not mean that boys who cannot
send in their names until late should
think that they are left out Notices
will be sent to all as soon as the limit
has been reached. As an inducement to
get boys to register early the regular
registration fee of twenty-five cents will
be raised to thirty-hve cents to all who
do not mail their card and fee on or be-

LESSONS
Continued from page one. J

Jericho and Israel were clearly
separated. The trouble with the
church today Is that saints and sim
ners are so mixed up that a Christian
is afraid to strike lick for fear that
he Will give his brother a punch.
The most humiliating condition
for the church to be in is when she
has the pity of the world. Let the
church be aggressive in its warfare
against sin. The world may not al
ways like us but it will respect us. +"
How to deal with persons who in
dulge in the tango. 60 to the theater
and read society novels, was ex-
planned by DIR. F. B. Meyer, of Lon
don. who spoke on the need of spirit
uality in the church.
| There is no use in talking against
the tango" he said, "for when we
do everybody wants to see it. When
minister writes denouncing a par
ticular novel everybody goes and buys
! 1t. The only way to cure taste for
these things is by a taste for higher
and more spiritual things.
After week on the Atlantic
oceon 1 can detect the closeness OF
air in room that a person Just com.
ing from smoky London would not
notice. Breathe the ozone of the
spiritual life II you want to have
your spiritual sensibilities kept
keen"
The Bible Conference is now at
its full tide with nearly every hour
of the day and evening occupied
Other speakers today were the Rev
| Elijah P. Brown, the, Rev. Percival
Campbell Morgan and the Rev. Mil.
ford Lyon. Excel and Roper led in
the song services. Today is Sunday
school day and Saturday is temper
ance day.
