sus of opinion of your committee that
while there are many devout souls in
the church, there are many who do not
bear the marks of the new birth. We
fear that there are very many of our
members who have never been born of
the spirit. Such should not be expelled
or dropped from the roll of the church
but be labored with in the spirit of
meekness, that they may be brought
into the way of salvation.
1--WE fear that in our preaching there
is not sufficient emphasis laid on the
witness of the spirit and conscious sal
walton. We infer this because of the
utter neglect of love feasts and class
meetings, and we observe that when
people do testify in meetings it is sell
dom the case that one gives clear
account of his convictions of sin and
how he mourned for salvation and
found the Saviour. A scriptural ac-
count of the dealings of the Holy Spir-
it with the heart and of the joy of sal
walton is very different thing from
a sort of vague hallelujah testimony.
"Under this state of things the peo-
pie are in danger of missing the way of
salvation and go about to establish
their own righteousness. We should
urge the necessity of holiness of heart
and life as the one great purpose of
Christ's death for us. But it is use
less to present that to those who are
not yet born of God, and such as are
born of God will be puick to see the
utter necessity of utter sanctification
to Him. We offer for your adoption
the following resolution: Resolved,
First, That we give frequent opportu-
nifty to our people to testify in weekly
prayer meetings, and thus compensate
in some measure for the utter loss of
class meetings.
Resolved, Second, That we will en-
deavor to restore the love feast, andwe
will attempt to hold love feast at least
at the time and place Of the quarterly
meetings., ~ s. N, sss.s - 4 - =. !.
FResolved, Third, That in obedience
to the call of the commissioner of our
church appointed to consider the ques-
tion of union with other Methodist
bodies, we will observe the program
recommended for December 81 and
will hold watchnight meetings on that
night.

Judge Young Sees
United Republican
Party This Year

The most able statesman, the big
gest man the United States can pro-
duce, is the man for whom the repub-
lican party is seeking in the present
crisis, and the subsection of petty
1ealousies, of petty selfishness, for the
common good of the nation, is the
order Of the day in Washington.
Hon. N. G. Young of Fargo, absent
from the city during the last two
months, who returned home today,
bring that impression of the situation
in Washington, where republican lead
ers have come to look upon the pres
idential question from a point of view
entirely different from that govern
ing them in prior presidential elec-
tions.
"The United States today is con-
fronted by the most dangerous condi-
tion of its history" said Mr.. Young.
Republican leaders of all factions in
Washington realize that we are prac-
ticaIly sitting on a volcano, and there
Is need for placing in the presidents s
chair man Of the greatest possible
strength.

SWEAR VESSELS
WERE TORPEDOED

Washington, March 20. - Affidavits
secured at Liverpool from three AM
erican survivors OF the British horse
ship, Englishman, are to the effect
that the vessel was torpedoed and
shelled by German submarine, ac-
cording to advices received at the
state department from the American
embassy in London. The fact that
the vessel was shelled led officers to
believe that she might have tried to
escape.
Statements secured from American
survivors Of the channel steamer
Sussex by American consular agents at
Dover are all said, in overnight dis
patches to the. state department, to
bear out the theory that the vessel
was torpedoed. Aff1davits secured
from survivors will be sent here.

The managers Of the Nom

that more than 5000 people will

Der of additional rooms will be
needed.
For this reason, all housewives
are urged to list their extra rooms
