from week to week in Bible classes IN
der his directions. One secret of his
success is the smoothness with which
he is able to work with the different
denominations, attracting and holding
people OF opposite opinions.
DR.. Gray has been a leading preacher
and teacher at Atlanta, Winona Lake
and other summer Bible Conferences
in many of our large cities from coast
to coast, as well as in London, Cardiff,
Edinburg, Glasgow and other places
abroad.
DR.. Gray was one of the leading
speakers at the Mountain Lake Con-
ference last summer, and promised the
management as we'll as those in at
tendance to return if possible. His
presence means that emphasis will be
laid on Bible teaching and exposition,
whice will be particularly attractive to
pastors, evangehsts, missionaries on
furlough, Sunday school teachers, re-
hgious secretaries in Y. NJ. and Y. W.
c. Associations and Christian workers
generally who want to know the Bible
better and how to use it in their work.
DR.. Gray will be accompanied by
members of the Faculty of the Moody
Bible Institute, as well as others, who
will give variety and breath to the pro-
gram.
Many are not aware of the expansive
character Of the Moody Bible Institute,
founded more than quarter of cen
turv ago by the great evangelist and
educator, D. L. Moody, and which has
been we'll called ''The West Point of
Christian Service" Its buildings cover
practically block and half near the
heart of Chicago, in addition to others
that are leased to accommodate the in
creasing number of students who gath
er there from all over the world. Twelve
hundred and siXty-siX were enrolled last
year in the Day and Evening classes,
837 being in residence, while the Cor
respondence department gives instruc-
toe to nearly $500.
The continual contact of these
teachers with so many young people
gives the staff of the Institute an ad-
vantage IN conducting a summer con-
ference largely attended by this class,
and the program will include daily
classes for them in the Bible and practi-
cal methods of Christian work, includ-
ing Teacher Training, Mission Study
classes, Gospel Music. Open Air Work,
Sunday school Organization and
Methods, etc, by experts in these lines.
Provision is being made also for in
spirational addresses at afternoon and
evening meetings by distinguished rep
resentatives of different denomina-
tons, and for the consideration of
prophetic subjects suggested by the
European war, as we'll as current
confirmation of the Bible in the light of
Archaeological research.
Admission to all the sessions of the
conference will be free.
Programs giving details as to speakers
will be furnished by addressing the
management of Mountain Lake Park,
or by calling at this office.

HISTORIC WEEK IN CONGRESS
PRESIDENTS ADDRESS is MOST
IMPORTANT EVENT.
First Six Days Bring About Practi-
caIly Harmonious Organization
in Both Houses.

Washington, Dec. IA. - The first
week of the Sixty-fourth Congress,
which is destined to be historic,
brought about practically harmonious
organization in both houses after a
few preliminary skirmishes, and re-
vealed a determination on the part of
the administration leaders to attempt
no serious legislative business until
the holiday ecess is over.
President Wilson's address with its
suggestions for national prepared
ness, denunciation of internal con-
spirators against neutrality Of the
government, warning of the necessity
for increased revenues and outline OF
other urgent legislative needs, stood
out as the most important event OF
the week.
Congress plans to adjourn Saturday
until January 3 for the Christmas
holiday. Both Democrats and Rerub-
leans of the Senate are now ready
with their committee reorganization.
Senate Has Lively Days.
President Wilson's vigorous refer
ences in his annual address to trou-
bles within the borders of the Unit
ed States instigated, because Of the
European war, by citizens of foreign
birth, served to give the Senate one
enlivened day of debate.
Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia in
troduced a resolution calling upon the
foreign relations committee to inves-
tigate, with a view to recommending
action, the British blockade against
neutral commerce.
The Georgia senator made a stir
ring plea for his resolution, which
aroused Senator Lodge OF Massachu-
sets to offer an amendment provid,
ing for investigation also of internal
conspiracies against the government
and of the law and facts relating to
b~efligerent destruction of the Lusi.

Washington, Dec. Is. - Emperor
William has personally recalled
Capt. Boyd and Capt. Won Papen,
military attaches of the German en-
bassy here, who by their activities
rendered themselves persona non

Officials Are Satisfied.
A communication from the German
foreign office announcing the action
was delivered to Secretary Lansing
by Count Won Bernstorff, German am
bassador.
Much satisfaction was evident in
official circles at the prompt action
taken by Emperor William and at
the outcome of a situation which for
a time appeared to threaten serious
difficulties. Count Won Bernstorff' r
manner as he left the state depart
ment, reflected his own apparent
qualification.
