after week of bombing and sspping.
Here the task fell TO the Australians,
who added another victory to their
brilliant record in the taking Of
Pozieres. In grilling heat, under a
blazing sun, they had been working in a
continual shellhre, digging their new
trenches in the open beyond Pozieres,
facing the German second line trenches

ready had made in their previous at

already reached the turning point. The
five months resistance Of our troops
at Verdun has shown that the plans
Of the German Staff have been shat
tered.
There is still no weakening Of the
German effort on the Western front.
There are still opposed to the Allied
armies on this front two-thirds of the
German armies. composed of the best
fighting men they have. There are 1872
German divisions against US. while
there are fifty German divisions, COM
bined with Austrian armies, before the
Russians.
Turning Point Reached.
But the turning point was reached
in the battle Of Nerdun, and il is only
a question Of time when the Germans
will break"
The general paused and smiled at US
in a peculiarly candid manner.

10 give you this information" he said,
"but it would be better yet for you to
go and see for yourselves. We will
give you all facilities TO see our troops

built Up by two years OF the hardest
fighting the world has ever seen. You
will understand the spirit OF our SOL
diers. You will see an army of which
the energy and spirit remain the same
after two years of war-and not only
that, but an army in which the num-
Der of our soldiers at the front is
actually greatly increased, in spite Of
two years Of fighting.
you will then understand the de-
cision OF our country to see this war

We are fighting not only for the in
terests of our own country, but for the
liberty OF the world. and we will not
stop until the liberty Of the world Is
definitely assured"

The work Of the afternoon was such
as to be a great help TO Bible school
workers. 1t was ably conducted by
Mrs. Clara G. Esson Of Forest Grove
state superintendent Of Bible sehool
work.
The first address on the evening

after a great song service led by NJ.

topic was "Behold l Make All Things
New He spoke radically against
conyentionatism in religion, making
the audience laugh repeatedly Dy
showing up the absurdity of such con-
ventionalsm. He said, Convention
! alism is the biggest devil in the world
against religion. The coming OF
! Christ brought in a new freedom
snd new order of religion, doing
away with the bondage under the old
law of Moses and the old ritualistlc
forms. No one can put the new forms
of Christianity into the old hide-bound
forms of Moses"
Archibald Mclean, president of the
Foreign Christian Missionary Society
next spoke Of the work of the society.
Mr. Mclean has been in the service
of the board for over "a years.
He has seen the foreign society grow
from a struggling effort with only a
very few out-stations to a great or
: ganization with 200 missionaries. 1000
q native workers. 113 schools and col
leges with orphanages and hospitals
In his address Mr.. Mclean presented
: foreign missions in a way that gave
the most thoughtless something tC
: think about. In reviewing the field;
where the society was at work, hC
came to China, remarking that China
presented the greatest opportunity t
