Bishop Hughes At Methodist Conference

which the speaker had many years ago, furnished some entertaining as well as useful hints to the Epworth leaguers who listened. Commenting upon Mir. Edison's great successes. he urged that every one of them had followed many, many fail ures. His persistency would finally &C., complish what everybody knew couldn't be done" Some of the successes of the Epworth league had followed a series of similar failures and we are doing now what everyone said could not be done. Eloquently he portrayed world eondi- tions and the demand for future leader ship and appealed with great power as he concluded to the young life in his audi ence to lay itself on the altar of personal self sacrifice and meet the demand upon them for future conquest of the world for Christ
 The hymn The Son ot God Goes Forth
