GREAT INTEREST
shown in YeuelI Meetings Many Con.
versions Last Night.

iossiblc the most enthusiastic SER
vice OF the Yeuell Meeting was held
last night when between three and
four hundred children from the pub
lie schools were present. A parade of
some length started from the High
school building and marched to the
Growers where those from the Fifth
and Sixth Wards were in waiting. A
grand march through the building
bought these young people to the seats
reserved for them. Class yells and
patriotic songs we're INDUCED i'm with
considerable spirit. Superintendent
taplinGer was asked to make a few
lciuarks. he stated that he was glad
to see the time when we were not al
lowing car UNCONVENTIONAL lines to
keep us apart. lie thought the i'm
purrant thing today was character.
The manner in which the children
greeted him shows the loyal spirit of
the schools toward him. Many of the
ministers of the city and the teachers
in the schools we're present. II was
regretted that all could not be given a
part in the service.
Mr.. Yeuell, the evangelist found it|
necessary to direct his attention to-
the younger people at times but in
the main his address was to the older
pupils and persons present. lie saw
as he began the invitation that there
was desire on the part of some of
the pupils to do some personal work
among their friends and class mates
and he therefore prolonged the invita-
ton. There were twenty-five who re-
sponded. These expressed themselves
as desiring to unite with different
churches in the city.
A beautiful view of Yosemite Val
ley was given in moving pictures to
the interest and profit of the younger
PEOPLE present. These pictures and
the longer period of invitation pro-
tracted the service little longer than
usual, but the great crowd of nearly
a thousand stayed to the close. One
of the enjoyable events of the even
ing was Earle learsley's solo, which
was Some Where q Voice is Calling"
the special words were written by Mr..
Gcuell
The sermon tonight will be on THE
Devil and What He breaches" II
seems evident from this topic mat the
evangelist does believe i'm a personal
devil. The meeting will begin at sew
en-thirty.

METHODIST CHURCHES
AGREE To UNITE
General Methodist Conference In.
dOrses UnlflcatlOn Plans-Way
Paved For Final Action BY
Southern Conference,

Saratoga, Springs, n. Y, May 16-
The unification of the Methodist Epis-
copal church and the Methodist Epis-
copal Church South was Endorsed al
most unanimously by the Methodist
General Conference today. The con-
ference adopted the report of the Com
mittee on Unifcation which provides
for further negotiations with the
Southern church, paving the way for
final action by the general conference
Of the Sonuthern church in 1918 and
by the Northern church's general con-
ference in 1920
The report recommends the amalga-
nation OF the branches of American
Methodism with the general confer
ence as the supreme governing body
OF the church and with separate con-
ferences and episcopal supervision for
the negro churches. The report was
adopted amid scenes of unbounded en-
thusiasm. Only one speech was made
in favor of the action and none In
opposition. Rev. John F. Goucher,
president emeritus of Goucher college,
Baltimore. Ma, In moving the adop-
tion OF the report, emphasized the fact
that the proposed amalgamation would
be a federated union that would pro-
tect all the varied interests Just as the
Federal Government protects the m
terests OF the separate States, but In
the cose of Federated eMthodism. the
world and not the nation would be I'M
der ecumenlcal control.
At the call for affirmative votes, vir-
tually the entire convention rose, and
when the opposition was called for,
only one or two scattered delegates
stood up. Renewed cheering and ap-
plause greeted the announcement that
the report had been adopted, and as
Bishop Il. r Hendrix OF the Methodist
Episcopal Church South stepped to
the speakers desk and clasped hands
with Bishop Cranston, the presiding
officer. the convention spontaneously
Whom All blessings Flow" and follow
ed with Best BE Tie That Binds"
Bishop Cranston was greatly affect
ed by the demonstration. Wipins
away the tears that streamed down his
face he said: This Is the supreme
moment of my life. You might have
continued me I'm an effective relation
for eight years long II you had so
willed. but you could not have given
me the qualification of soul feel to-
day"
bishop Hendrix said; "As senior
bishop OF American MethOdism. l be-
lieve that by our action today We
have accomplished more for the good
Of mankind than resulted from the
battle OF Saratoga"

Personal Tribute to George 1. Psttis

It Is altogether appropriate for fei- low craftsman to set forth tbe espsoil- ities possessed by the late GeorgeA. Pet tis, or as be was more famuisrly known to his many friends and aequsintanees AS Bert Peitis
 II was my pleasure to meet and be- come acquainted 8ith MT. Peltis in i859, year or two after his first com ing to Thom pson b work as a earpen- ter. His first labor that came to my notice was for man named Wright from Pomfret, assisting in building ne v barn for Asa R0-s. 1y feeolIec. ton of him after this i5 his building g house in Qusdic for George o. Ross, a brother Of Asa. II was while engaged On this house that an acquaintance with him was formed, and because Of our occupation being the same, the re- lation Of acquaintance at once became friendly. Later sY conversations ~ith him and observations oT hiH, on diff feFeat occasions, # readily became evl- dent to me thst this young man being about ten years my junior as acar. ptutef was destined to be Of DO small eaHoef, an opinion which tHe years since that time have well borne out Without any attempt to extol him in his iab9rs as carpenter beyond hls merit, it Is fitting for a fellow i who did so many jo5s well and 10 tbe entire satisfaction Of those by whom he ~as employed.
 Besides his ia6ors at bis trade laway from his home, the work he did in and around that home are monuments of his taste and skill, making his home connections and in all ways that tend to make q home inviting, attractive and pleasant 10 his wife and daughter, with whom he evidenced the fondest i devotion. Again may 1t be said that Il k well for fellow craftsman and laborer in a calling where friendly re lalions had so long prevailed to testify to the endeavor, the ability, and worth in community Of anyone to honor that occupation as did George 4. Pet lis.
 | Not enjoyment and not sorrow l Is our destined end or WHY, But to act, tbat each tomorrow
 Finds Us farther than today
 Art is long, and time Is fieeting, And our henrts, are stout and brave
 Still like mu filed drums, are beating
 Flneral marches to the grave" l e W. D.

 fOrmances

The amateur actors of the Canadian Athletic Club scored two successes this week when they sput on the comedy drama, La Noleuse d Enfants. The first presentation was in St. Jean's hall Sunday afternoon when special performance was given for the children. The hall was crowded and the youngsters appreciated the show to the limit and nothing got by them. Tuesday evening the adults had their innings. They too crowded the hall and they too were generous with their applause for the work of the cast. Our representative unfortunately was unable to appreciate the lines spoken in French but il was easy to read the pleasure depicted on the faces Of others and hear them applaude. IL Is said by those who have seen the clubs CT. forts in the past that this last effort surpasses sIl previous entertainments. The cast follows:
