STATE CONGRESS
Boys and Girls Sunday School Con-
gress at Findlay, June 18th and
2Oth-Bryan Heise of Fulton COun-
ty President of Fourth Annual Boys
Congress.

Rag time music is to be barred from
the Boys and Girls Congress which
will precede the State Sunday School
Convention at Findlay, June 21 and
%, according to announcements which
have just been sent to all the counties
of the state.
A maximum of 20 boys and 20 girls
per county is the allowance, but a
limit of 500 is placed on each Con-
gress. The more remote counties
sending small delegations will allow
those nearer to Findlay to have their
full quota, it is believed.
This will be the fourth annual Boys
Congress and the third annual Girls
Congress. Each body will meet sep
arately on June 10 and will combine
on June 20 in a joint demonstration
before the State Sunday School asso-
citation. A Friendship Supper will be
served on the campus of Findlay col
lege on the first night of the Congress
and each county will be expected to
respond with an original song in lieu
of a toast. After the supper there
will be a mammoth camp fire and the
ceremony will conclude with the pro,
gram of the Cobweb Circle.
Delegates to the Boys and Girls
Congress, like delegates to the Sun
day School Convention, will receive
entertainment at the hands of the citi
zens of Findlay. Membership il
either Congress is confined to boys
and girls of the teen age.
The officers of the Boys Congress!
are: president, Bryan Heise, of Full
ton county; vice president, Marvin
Clark, of Butler; secretary, Hayde1
Edwards. of Franklin; assistant secre
tary, George Reynolds of Columbiana
treasurer, Vernon st. Clair, of Mus
kingum. Miss Leah Pinto, of Ross
is president of the Girls Congress
and Nellie Murphy, of Muskingum, il
secretary.

Error Is not fault OF our knowi-
edge, but a mistake of cslr judgment
1t Is almost as difficult to make a man
unlearn his errors as his knowledge.
MalinfOrmation Is more hopeless than
noninformatiOn. for error is always
more hopeless than ignorance.
Ignorance Is a blank sheet on which
we may write, but error is scribbled
one from which we must first erase.
Ignorance is contented to stand still
with her back to the truth, but error
is more presumptuOus and proceeds In
the wrong direction. Ignorance has no
light, but error has farther to go be-
fore she can arrive at truth than has
ignorance.

not plead ignorance in extennadon OF

YOUNGEST LAW GRADUATE.

FUNNIEST LAW GRADUAIE.
The youngest student ever gradu-
ate from the College of Law of the
Ohio State University, is the distinc-
tion of Louis W. Josephson, aged 20,
who will be graduated next month.
Josephson will be forced to wait six
months before he can take the state
bar examination to practice in Ohio.
He will open offices in the city after
taking the examination in December.
Not content with leaving the Uni
versity, credited with receiving the
highest grades ever given law stu
dent, he has been active along other

Sabbath School, and engaging in
social work in the city, engaged his
attention. in spite of the fact that he
worked his way through college.

against Tue people.
The Phelan oil land measure, would
hand oyer to private individuals who
have no legal rights the valuable oil
lands set aside as reserves for the
Navy. The Navy Department has made
public announcement that the mere
threat of the Phelan bills passage has
caused it ''to seriously cnosider the ad-
visibility of abandoning the policy Of
constructing oil burning ships" Only
oil burning ships can develop and main
tam the high speeds required in modern
war, and without them no Navy can be
even second class. The Secretary of
the Interior actively supported this sur
render of National safety to private
greed. ThesSecretary of the Navy and
the Attorney General opposed it. Will
son remained neutral and did nothing.
Because Wilson refused to take sides,
or took the wrong side, the question
whether the people or the interests shall
win or lose in the Shields and Myers
waterpower bills and the Phelsn oil bill
is still unsettled. These bills are still
before Congress, and VIII pass or fail at
the coming session. The public water
powers and the efficiency of the Navy
are at stake. There can be no com
promise between the men who would
grab the public resources for private
profit, and those who would conserve
them for the use of all the people.
Either the interests will get them or
the people will keep them. There is no
middle ground
To sum up, as in many other matters
the promise made was not performed.
Instead of progress in conserving our
resources, the last two years have seen
a bitter and often a losing fight to hold
what we had. Wilson talked well, be-
gan to act well, and then yielding to
the politica! pressure Of the special in
terests. went back on Conservation.

Rev. Boyer Takes New Charge

Rev. L. B. Boyer. who was born and
reared at Accident and who entered the
ministry some wears ago, having filled
a number of pulpits of the Lutheran
denomination, has resigned his pastorate
at Confluence, Pa, to accept call to
East Carnegie, Pa. The Confluence
correspondent of the Meyersdale Re-
publican thus writes of Mr.. Boyer:
The many friends of Mr.. E. B. Boyer
will be pleased to know that he receiv-
ed unanimous call from st. An
drew's Mission, East Carnegie. which
he will likely accept and take charge
Sunday, September, II. East Carnegie
is town of 1900 inhabitants with no
other Protestant churches and within 80
minutes ride of Pittsburgh on the troll.
ley cars.
Rev. Boyer was pastor of the Luther
an church of Confluence for six years
and three months, from May %, 1910,
to August 81, 1916 During that time
he was not only an energetic pastor,
but gentleman who took an interest
in every movement for the benefit of
the town and its religious and moral up
lift, and was always one of the most
ear est and aggressive workers in the
cause of temperance, and he leaves be-
hind him hosts of true and warm friends
without regard to the denomination to
which they belong. He was no shirker
in ministerial work and he will certain
ly be missed, as will also Mrs. Boyer,
who lived in Confluence since childhood.
and who is an estimable and talented
lady, hard worker both in the church
and the Sunday school and fine must
clan and vocalist, and who will no
doubt prove a most efficient helpmate
to her husband in his new field of labor.
