LOZlER WILL SPEAK
AT BIBLE SESSION
Representatives. Talk Is Final
Feature of Three-Day
Conference.

Representative Ralph LoZier of Mis-
souri, will be the principal speaker to-
night at the final meeting of the three
day city-wide Bible Conference being
held at the First Congregational Church
under auspices of the Columbia Bible
Training School. He will speak on
THE Church, the State and the Match
less Christ"
In an address before the conference
last night, Rev. Dr. William S. Aber-
nethy, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church.
directed a mild criticism at the vote by
which Congress submitted to the people
the resolution for repeal of the eight
eenth amendment. He viewed the action
as merely another mistake-one of a
chain of errors the world must undergo
before 1t reaches the realization OF
what is right.
DR. Abernethy quoted from Herbert
Spencer that people will never go right
until they have tried every possible
way of going wrong" adding that this
probably would be true of the Nations
attitude" toward the prohibition law.
At tonight's meeting Mrs. william N
Ritter will lead the devotional service
while program of special music will
be conducted by Justin Lawrie, who
will be heard in number of solos, as
will Mrs. Alice Haig.
Other speakers will include Rev. Har-
vey Baker Smith, Rev. Henry w. Snyder
Rev. H. H. Harmon and Rev. r. T
Roberts, director of the conference, who
will discuss the work of the Bible
Training School.

the sum total of the value of the lives
of its members, for Masonry, like re-
ligion, is an individual matter. One
cannot merely get by in the crowd and
share the good reputation OF an or
ganization If his character is below the
standard of that organization. The
value of Masonry to the world so far
as each individual is concerned, Is its
value within the circle of influence Of
his life and he is the determining factor
of that value"
Mr.. Block said the life Of George
Washington exemplified in highest de-
gree the ideals of Masonry.

masters was held yesterday at the Will
