INTEREST CROWS
IN GREAT CHURCH
MEETING HERE
More Delegates Arrive to
Attend Second Day of
Session = Addresses by
Prominent Speakers

The second day of the Interehurch
World Movement conference surpassed
the first day in interest, attendance
and enthusiasm over subjects dis
cussed Several new delegates arrived
for the last two day sessions who were
not present on the first day. The con-
ference is unique in the amount of
time given for questions and general
discussion. 1t is a remarkably demo-
cratic gathering, but it is more demo-
cratic in the manner of its conduct.
Every one has a chance to tell what
he thinks, or to ask any question.
A delightful spirit prevails at all the
sessions. All of the addresses were
exceptionally good, and each address
was taken down in full by a stenog
rapher and will be available a little
later for any of the delegates who may
want a copy.
DR.. Frederick Cope, general secre
tary of the Religious Education asso-
citation, with headquarters in Chicago,
was the speaker at the church fedora
ton luncheon Thursday. DIR. Cope
said in part:
I'VE cannot be Christians and live
under a social order where one mans
prosperity depends upon another mans
failure. Il is cooperative living where
man says, I never will take an adj
vantage which | must take at another
mans expense; an advantage at the
expense of another mans disadvan-
tage.
Two Ways for the World.

order of living projected onto the

| unless for the old order that was bred
in tooth and claw, there is substituted
those things.
LAS long as we go back to that as
the basic way in which we live, we
go back to strife and the world war
There are two ways possible for the
world today: The old way. that goes
