 EPWORTH LEAGUE I Last nights session of the confer ence was devoted .to the celebration of the anniversary of the Epworth league. | IThe meeting was presided over by H6 E. lTyler, president of the Epworth league | lboard.
 Rev. William Graham Echols, presi- i Ident of the North Alabama conference league, reviewed briefly the past years work of the league and outlined the work for next year. He said that the war had hit hard upon the league, many of it's members being taken in the first draft and when they had Just about got readjusted the second draft age disorganized it again by taking Iaway more of it's members. I've are dealing with almost entirely new chap ters,' said MT. Echols, land we expect to inaugurate system of thorough instruction for the benefit of the new members. The league will have place on every district conference programme next year."
 Judge Hugh Locke in an eloquent and stirring appeal, urged the preachers to organize more leagues on their charges. He said that there are about 120 chapters in the North Alabama conference, or about one league to ev- cry six churches. "The purpose of the league is to create leadership" said Judge Locke The Sunday school is an indispensable arm of the church, but it can't take the place of the league" He said that the reason that
 such condition exists In regard to the league Is that so many people have not the proper appreciation of it.
 Dr. R. D. Nollner of the Central Texas conference placed stress the fact that the war had brought about an evolution of conditions; that a new value had been placed upon things and that the church and the league must adjust themselves to these phenomena. "The church must emphasize the word 'work'-work seven days in the week." said Dr. NoIlner. "The Young Mems Christian association came out of the church and the church must be pre- pared to receive it when it comes back new and ample buildings must be pro- vided in order to receive them in a ma terial way, as well as in a spiritual way"
