enthusiastic-this is the agreeable impress sion one carries away after meeting Dr. Dillard; strength, dynamic force and swift alertness stand out valiantly in his makeup and underneath it all, a ready sympathy and kindliness that come from experience and understanding-fyom a life of Christian fortitude, made ap- pealing through g wonderfully human heart and mind.
 Dr. billiard is an inveterate worker; he has been a very busy man all of his life and he has done lot of different things always in connection with his ministry. for he began preaching when he was fl years old At the age of 15 he was the pastor of a large church and was president of the Clarksburg Baptist college at the age of q, from which col lege he holds a degree as we'll as from the William Jewell college, the Provf- dence University-all before he was 34.
 Although Dr. Dillard's ministry has been cast entirely in western surround ings, he is native Virginian, born in Danville, but going out west when he was just F years of age.
 Dr. billiard besides filling the pulpit of such churches as the Tabernacle Bap- tist church in Kansas City, the Delmar Baptist church in St. Louis, and the First Baptist church of St. Joseph, has done great deal of literary work, be- ing literary editor of the Central Bap- tist for a number of years and he has also served on all the denominational boards in the state of Missouri, delivered lectures and taken an active part in all the progressive features connected with the church.
 Dr. billiard has the cordial cooperation of his lovely and gifted wife in all his church work. Mrs. billiard possessing an exceptionally fine voice, with which she is most generous.
 The romance of their young lives began when Dr. billiard was president of the Clarksburg college, when he met his wife-then Miss Lillian Lee Madison of Macon. Miss. The young president fell very much in love with the young lady and laid scheme whereby he would be sure to win her heart and hand: he en- gagged her services as a teacher Of vocal music in his college and in this way had the opportunity, as he expresses it, of imposing my presence upon her attention to such extent that she decided that the best way to get rid of me and still draw her salary, was to marry me-
 Dr. billiard has given much of his time to Sunday school work, and in all of his charges he has built up a most wonder full feeling of cooperation and comrade-

constantly set before people; the day of puttering over little things and non essentials is gone"
 In conclusion, Dr. Dfllard said.
 Tn theology, I am a progressive. l hold to all that is good in the old, as far as I can see 1t, and accept all thar is good in the new, judging both by their practical bearing upon life. It is my profound conviction that those concep- tions that respond to the deepest and most insistent needs of the soul are true discuss no dead issues in my pulpit. I have been enabled to build up greav Sunday night congregation by discussing the questions that the people are inter- ested in. For number of weeks I have been discussing various phases of the war situation and find that the people are interested and responsive I have been much impressed with the great op- portunities offered in the growing city of Birmingham and come to you with a full conviction that I shall have the heartiest cooperation of the good people of the city and state, and I hope to be of help in every good work

Age and War

Norman Hapgood, in Leslie's.
 Abraham Lincoln was 39 years old, and a member of Congress when he wrote:
 My old withered eyes are full of tears yet" In the same year he wrote: q suppose I am now one of the old men; and I declare, on my veracity which I think is good with you, that nothing could afford me more satis- faction than to learn that you and oth- CTS of my young friends at home are doing battle in the contest, and en- dearing themselves to the people, and taking stand far above any l have been able to take in their admiration"
 We are now in a time more critical than Lincolns. Why is it that old men are conducting the nations in this emergency? Would one not have said that after four years of unexampled strain when every country is seeking efficiency as never before, men of 35 to 45 would have risen to the highest

ship among the young people, and also the men of the church, for as he says with keen sense of certainty, "the wom- en can always be depended upon to do their duty in church work
 T think I originated the idea" said Dr. billiard when I was talking with him during the past week about his work, "of the graded B. Y. F. U., by which 1 mean a young peoples society graded and meet ing in sections on the same principles as a modern graded Sunday school. Our Sunday school in St. Louis for four years in succession secured the state banner in competition with the Sunday schools of all denominations, and se- cured second place at the northern Bap- tist convention in Detroit.
 q have prepared the lessons for many years for the B. Y. F. U., of the South ern Baptist church, and in arranging these lessons I have been guided by pop ular opinion-by that I mean the things that appeal most to young people, and so have classified this work into two visions; first. Religious Questions Asked by Young People, and second. Women of the Bible.' In the first named series have carefully gathered from requests sent out to young people for questions that interest them most, those which as many as 50 or more asked. Then I have taken these as subject matter
 For instance, Sa1d Dr. DlllarQ, 'tneSS are some of the questions most generally asked by young people: What does God
 look like?' How was the Bible made2 How could Jesus be both human and divine? What good does it do to pray?' Why do we need a Savior and what kind of a Savior do we need?' If one does the best one can, will they be saved?' Of what use is the church?' Can a person be Christian without joining the church?' These are vital ringing questions and are usually asketi by those who are interested in church work-so it is an open sesame to the mind of the young to glean these ques- tions and establish work upon the an- swers which will bring them to the church and interest them in church work
 "On the young people of our church depends the entire future of Christian ity," said Dr. billiard. Tt used to be an accepted idea that the men of the church were delinquent in their task, but let me say right here that the war-this present great world war-has opened the eyes of men and brought them into more serious frame of mind religiously than they have ever experienced before.
 There is more untagged religion In the world today" said Dr. Dillard en- Enthusiastically. than I have ever seen before in all my ministry, and by that

a bit and get into line with other mod ern developments.
 Don't misunderstood me- Dr. billiard said T am not a revolutionist in my methods, but seek always to adapt my message and method to the needs of the field as they develop. I preach no old sermons. I burn every sermon before leaving and start with an empty barrel at the next place. I aim to have my church so organized that it can run all right even when I am not there. In this way l am enabled to give good deal of time to civic and denomnational matters outside of my own church.
 "Just as minister has always de- pended upon the women of the church to do their duty in church work" Dr. billiard said, just so we can depend upon men now more than ever before that is, if you give them something defi- mite to do. A man doesn't like to be a lay member; he wants to be an active member in anything he goes into. There are three general classes of people to be reached in church work; first, those of intellect; they want to be taught; they love doctrine, philosophy and theology; this class constitutes about one-tenth or the people. The second class is composed of those who must be reached through fellowship: they will go where they will be received with a hearty welcome and where the spirit of brotherhood is doml- nant. The third class. and this class constitutes the most important Of them all in the community, is composed or those who want to do things, and they haven't any patience with discussions or dead issues; of the splitting of theolog-
