Delegates Hard Work.
While the platform speaking was OF
a very high order of excellence, per-
haps the most striking thing about
the conference was the large amount
of hard study done by the delegates
in preparation for their regular class
room recitations. Pastors and lay
workers showed great interest in the
course of church efficiency conducted
by DR.. John Moore.
Nearly every delegate in the con-
ference studied at least one mission
airy book.
Mr.. Hills led two classes who
studied the Social Aspects of For
eign Missions, book recently writ
ten by President Faunce. of Brown
University. The slogan for the whole
conference was Christ for Every
Life and for All Life"
Missionaries from many lands were
in these classes and were of the opin-
ion that the East or the Orient of
few years ago is rapidly becoming a
thing of the past.
AS President Faunce expressed it in
his book: I'VE are living upon a

graphs, telephones. cables, daily
newspapers and current literature
have brought the most distant parts
of the world into a circle so small
that in every land at their breakfast
tables people discuss the latest de-
velopments in China. India, the Bal
kans, England, America, Mexico with
eager interest No nation at present
is able to stand out distinctly indie
pendent of all other nations.
Caste System Conquered.
1.-THE respect for the caste system
in India is rapidly decreasing. Some
say that the necessity OF different
castes riding in the same car upon
the railroads has had much to do
with breaking down the barriers In
China railroads have been built
through ancient grave yards and in
stead OF pelng wiped out py the angry
spirits of their ancestors the villages
along the railroads have prospered
even more than those in accessible
districts.
The hold of ancestor worship upon
the Chinese is growing less. 1t is i'm
possible for the Orient TO enjoy the
products of Western civilization and
maintain the attitude OF Indifference
to modern scientific education. The
hold of tradition upon the Orient is
rapidly weakening
Everywhere simultaneously ap-
pears a great emphasis upon the
value of the individual and the pres
ent moment. This leads to dernocra-
cies and republics spring up in the
most unexpected places. 1t means
that the Orient must adapt itself to
new conditions.
