o'clock at st. Johns Methodist

the shining light OF the conference,
and yesterday morning, he delivered
an even better address than had been
expected. He was enthuRad over his

ferences. which met In different parts
Of the church building and considered
all that had been said during the
afternoons session as applicable to
the machinery peculiar to each de-
nomination represented. AT $50 the
delegates Of the conference met in

the rising generations OF. today and
asked "IIave you made the progress
you should with the records OF your

people were. not going to church In
this generation as they should. He
spnke OF the inconsistency OF church
members. He appealed to the young

efficiency or preparation for iife's
work but impoverished the world.
