A very successful County Rally
was held in Johnson, on Wednesday
last, under the chairmenship of Rev.
Edwin Sharp, district superintendent
The morning session was opened
shortly after 1890 a. M, by the Rev.
W. T. Best of Morrisville.
Rev. Sharp then spoke of the need
Of greater efficiency in all depart
ments of life The church, too, in
order to play her part, should be
thoroughly efficient.
Rev. Roy E. Green of Cambridge,
gave very fine address on "How
can we make the Committee on Reli-
gious instruction to Function in the
Local Church" The address opened
up field Of discussion in which sew
eral Of the delegates took part.
The Rev. A. B. Ross of the Johnson
Congregational Church, welcome
visitor to the rally, also took part in
the discussion.
The afternoon session was opened
by the Rev. A. E. Schoff of Wolcott,
after which Rev. w. T. Best gave an
address full of evangelical fervor on
"How to Educate the Church to do
Personal Evangelism"
A brief discussion followed. Rev.
A. E. Schoff then gave an able adj
dress in which there was much orig
inal thought, on "The Church as a
Social Centre" Rev. w. D. Stenlake
spoke briefly, taking as his subject,
Social Service in the Sunday School
and EpwOrth League"
Miss Mcintyre, a returned mission
airy from Japan, gave an exceedingly
helpful and interesting account of
her experiences and work whilst in
Japan.
This was followed by an address
by Miss Dixie Carl, in which she
spoke in glowing terms of the work
being done by the W. H. M. S.. A
large number attended the evening
session, in spite of the cold weather.
The meeting was opened by the pas
tor, who welcomed Rev. Edwin Sharp,
and the Rev. James Gage, D. D., of
Boston.
Mr.. Sharp is always at home with
a Johnson audience and in a humor-
Gus vein, introduced the speaker of
the evening, DR.. Gage.
1t was with the greatest interest
That the audience listened to the
Doctors address. He is an extreme
ly fluent and forceful speaker. He
makes a great appeal wherever he
goes and on every side one heard the
comment after his address, eve hope
he'll come agin."
The ladies of the church, under the
presidence of Mrs. Miller did splen-
did work in providing dinner and
supper to which ample justice was
done.
The rally was entirely successful
and has stimulated one and all to
greater loyalty and enthusiasm in
the Masters work.

UNIQUE QUESTION RAISED
Can Anyone Recall d Detective
Story in the Bible?

Since the Herald" has been
running the series, "True De-
tective Stories," the question
has come up whether or not
the Bible contains any detec-
tive stories.
The Great Book is common
ly conceded to have recorded
Just about every month emot-
ion and experience, and no
doubt many readers of the
"True Detective Stories" series
will now try to recall whether
or not they have read in the
Bible what might be compared
to the modern detective story.
At any rate, the series now
being published in the "Her-
aid" has afforded rare enter
tainment to many of it's readers
and those who have not enjoy
ed these stories should take ad.
vantage of the opportunity.
