Martin Luther and 1acitus both bear
witness Of :hls. Germans must con.
quer this custom. The war has
brought with it an added seriousness.
1t has brought many an improvement,
but it has not broken the drinking
habit. The professor urged a new mo.
rality which would introduce mobile,
pure convlvial.ty.r This constant
drinking, ne leclarcd places bonds on
the nation, and breed, the wretched
type OF beer-phi!lstine with whom ev.
cry one is familiar. It is a type which
must no longer Gisfigure the German
nation.
Germans, further, must learn that
money is not the only thing 10y whiEl
earthly pleasure may be- bought, must
learn that Indulgence in luxury Is sla-
very, not freedom.
But the professor does not wish
these improvements brought about by
''pedantic scoldiag or iron sermons ON
morals :" rather must the reformation

Of the entire social structure. In ac.
cordance with the inrermost kernel

ohpreh Sunday morning, instead of
,yeaching the usual sermon.
Mr.. vesey first extended to the
members his thanks and appreciation
NJ their generosity in sending him to
tho convention as their representa-.
tive. taking care Of all the expenses
incident to his trip.
The pastor described the trip go

Mr. yesey. some pushing and others

The pastors statement in regard to
che convention was that "the keynote
was missions, the evangelization Of
the world"
There were all told, including the
delegates to the Womans Missionary
Union, three thousand delegates pres
emf. besides more than 1000 visitors.
More people were assembled in the
vast auditorium than there are men,
women and children in the city OF Ar
eadia.
DR.. Love, .ecretary of the foreign
mission board. said that the conven-
ton had sent out last year twenty
two new missionaries, but while one
fourth has been added to the number
Of missionaries. it was greatly to be
regretted that One-fourth had not been
added to the collections for mission
airy purposes.
The total amount given by the con-
ventlon for foreign missions during
the past year was $51s,323 .3s, and the
marvellous thing was that the total
cost of collections and expenditures
was only $40 rer cent. No business
on earth will show such a small per-
centage of expense for operation.
The woman's Missionary Union Of
the convention had collected for all
missionary purposes during the year
$4,000, and this was done for the
small sum Of 3-4 per cent. cost. The
pastor thought the men could learn a
lesson from the women in regard to
business.
The convention went unanimously
on record as nvoring national prohl-
bition. Facts wore brought before the
convention showing that 42,OOOOOO
