 Great Interest in Program Today
 Great interest focuses on the con- ference program for today and We'd nesday. The survey department, with illustrations by slides and charts, will occupy the attention of the delegates throughout this morning, afternoon and night. This program deals with both home and foreign missions. MT. Diffendorfer will present the surveys for the home field. Conditions in the large metropolitan centers and in town and country will be touched upon. The needs of America will be classified. and startling revelations in our own land are expected. The problem and policies to correct evils will be dis cussed.
 For the foreign field, missionaries will be present and by illustrations on the screen the needs of Latin America, Africa, India and all the countries of the earth will be pictured.
 The great need for hospitals, or phanges, old peoples homes and sani- tariums also will be presented, and what the r-church world movement purposes to do in view of the situations will be discussed.
 The minister and his needs will also claim the attention of the conference, the small salaries paid the need for pensions. This will probably be one of the most astonishing fea lures of the meeting.
 The women are holding parallel ses- sions to the pastors conference. The meetings today which present the sur veyS of the world. at both home and abroad, illustrated by stereoptican, will be attended to the women as well as the men, Arrangements are being made for a banquet at the supper hour to be addressed by members of the visiting teams.
 The interchurch movement is thor oughly organizing the country for this great task, it was stated yesterday, with national, state, county, commu nifty and local church units included in its scheme of organization. Through will work, using both paid and volun-' teer help. A great twin one" cam paign reaching it's crest at Easter time is being promoted by the evangelistic department A great financial drive for $1.300,0oo,000 is to be undertaken in May.
 pr. Agar of New York. speaking to the conference on "The High Cost of Loving" said:
 Love is the most expensive thing in the world. Love of Christ is the most expensive of all loves. The mod allegiance by the price he pays to demonstrate his love. In Luke IA, Christ laid down the cost of loving Him. First, that we must prefer Him to all others and love Him at the ex- pense of our own life. To do this, will revolutionize the lives of many men and women. Next, we must bear our cross as He Bore His. What is your cross? Third, we must go into His service having fairly and square ly counted it up that it will cost us heavily. Again, we must fight His battle, knowing we will be facing the odds. We will be in the minority. but our victory in the end is assured. Last. we must yield up all we have to Him or we cannot be His dicfple.
 When the membership of our churches willingly pays that high cost of loving Him we will soon evangelize the world and in every nook and of this sin-cursed world new life currents will flow from the great heart of Christ to all who will receive Him."
 Probably the most gripping appeal of the day was made by Mrs w. A. i Montgomery of the New York office, 1 when she spoke to the ministers last night. Her entire appeal centered about this one proposition:
 we women bear children and give hem gladly to serve our country. You 1 1elp us give them just as gladly to Christian service
