trical Manhood" and in his address
told of his conception. of the attrl-
butes of Well-rounded manhCCu.
declared in the course of his tax
that the emotions play large part
in life and that many worthwhile
things are done under the stress of
emotion, rather than after careful
deliberate thought. In this connec-
ton he cited the instance of "Old
IronsideS" which was condemned by
CONGRESS, only to be saved by a
pocm written on the spun OF tie

believed the world would see great
err men than ever before. because of
the greater problems which are to

Bishop Nicholson declared that
we live in world of changing con-
ditions and that in order to make
his way successfully a man must be
able to adapt himself to changing
conditions. He fun Their declared that
success in life only comes after :,
hard battle and that man must ever

a substantial sum was voted to

The president, Judge II. L. Foster,
in addressing the Association laid
stress upon the necessity of making
the salaries of the preachers ade-
Quate and that, in case it should be-
come necessary to discriminate. in
any apportionments, the pastor
should not be the sufferer.
Adverting to the other causes con-
nected with the church, he insisted
that the laity-those who pay the
bills are entitled to know and
sould know where their money goes
and that they should know what part
reaches its objective and how much
stops on the way and is used for
overhead expenses; he suggested
that the laity examine some of the
financial reports made to the annual
conference to ascertain what part of
the dollar IS Esed for expenses, so
that they Would be fully informed:
he warned against any project
whereby the churches would be as
sessed for which there would not be
an adequate return: he stressed the
responsibility Of the laity to the min
'istry while insisting that the laity
was entitled to equally fair treat
ment.
These sentiments evoked n hearty
approval from the large gathering.
