NEWSPAPERS SEEN
AS AID IN PRAYER
Missionary Tells B. Y. P. U.
, knowledge of Current
Events Needed.

Constant reading Of the daily news
papers was advanced as a means OF
improving prayers by Rev. DR.. Joseph
Taylor, a missionary to China, in the
closing sessions yesterday of the for
tieth annual Convention of the Baptist
Young Peoples Union of America.
Proper prayers are those which are
based on a knowledge Of world events,
Rev DR. Taylor declared, in titling the
daily press 1.-The Waterman for Amer
lea"
IT am appalled, at some of the pray
ers heard in the churches" DR.. Tay-
Tor said. They are merely series Of
platitudes. unintelligent in view of
world events. You need to read the
newspapers in order to be able to pray
intelligently. If you want to cultivate
the international mind, get the meat
out of every months events of current
history. Get the facts and get the
power to interpret the facts. 1t will
take the roof off your mind and lift
horizons"
Convention Is Adjourned.
The convention was adjourned short
1y after 9 o'clock last night following
an afternoon and an evening seSsion.
A feature of the closing hours of the

The cards, distributed by the Baptist
Service League, will be tabulated and
the total number of signers will be an
nounced from Chicago, headquarters
for the league
Il will not drift into life work" the
pledge read, but l will do my utmost
by prayer, investigation, meditation and
service to discover that form and place
of life work in which I can become of
the largest use to the Kingdom of God.
AS find 1t I will prepare for it and
follow 1t under the leadership of Jesus
Christ. wheresoever it takes me, cost
what it may"
In the concluding address of the con-
vention, Rev. DR.. George w. Truett.
pastor of the First Baptist Church of
Dallas, Tex. declared Christ is the only
adequate hope and help for our needy
world
Meets Next in Minneapolis.
I'VE have come to the most spacious
and challenging days in all the history
OF civilization. We are now a. the
cross roads of all history" he declared.
I'VE are each and all now challenged
to think and plan and serve in world
terms. The world is fast becoming one
big neighborhood. Neither individuals
nor nations can wisely and wcrtnily live
to themselves. With joyful and coura-
geous faith in Christ, let lis grid our
selves for our world task Of winning
all the world to the salvation and serv-
ice of Christ"

today by the following cablegram
received at the school:

summer with family in England,

up story at Washington setting
out that DR.. Oman was visiting

tending a pro- olshevik conference,
accompanied by Sherwood Eddy and
Senator Hendrick Shipstead (Farm-

loyalty and support and. their faith
in Christian leadership.
In fiat denial by President
Oman that he was in Russia at

paraging rumors against him. Uni
verSity officials were dumbfounded
when the story first appeared since
DR.. Oman, when he announced his
itinerary, fatty stated That he would
not visit Russia, but would travel
through Great Britain and south
ern Europe.
He was accompanied by Mrs.
Oman and their three children.
He also took his own car to travel
through the rural districts. His
observations on conditions in Ger
