The question Of what the conference
should do and What il Nigh. do regard

but i was scheduled to appear this aft
ernoon in the report Of the committee

1t was the confidential opinion OF
several Of the pastors that. if the COM

Dr.. Steiner's Excellent Address.
The attendance has been large at al
the sessions, but the audien ce tina
greeted DR. E. A. Steiner, Of Grinnell
Wednesday, night almost filled thu
seating capacity of the building.
DR. Stey1er'S nreface his speech
was bit OF his characteristic blunt
but good natured, frankness. If an!
one should have told me three years
ago that would stand in a church like
this ! would have said it is a dreai
never to be realized he said, as h
commented upon the beauty of tn
building.
IF this is to remain as it was in tn
past nice church for few mic
people, it's a terrible waste of goo
money. A few nice people are no
worth the price. But if 1t is to be
church for the whole community II
splendid investment"
In explanation of DR.. Steiner
frankness it might be added that whe
the church was without pastor, year
ago, and was neither SO large nor we
established as it is now, DR.. Steine
filed the pulpit for many Sundays. II
then pointed out to the conSregatio
very forcefuIly some OF the church
