Tramps of 100 Miles a Common Thing For Missionaries In Northern Minnesota. lnspiri'ng Appeal By Rev. J. R. Pratt for Investment in the Life Spiritual. Bible Conference Will Close Tomorrow With Union Meetings at The City —"T am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly.” Christ offers men life, not re- ligion, declared Rev. J. R. Pratt last evening at the Bible Confer- ence. Many people. get religion that never get spiritual life. In the city of Chicago there are said to be 150 different religions, one of which is the worship of the Devil himself. But Christ pffers men life, abundant life, Mosp of us areleading the strenu- ous life, but too few of us are en- joying the abundant hfe. Mr. Pratt made a powerful and ur- gent appeal for true living. The world recognizes the law, said Mr. Pratt, that if we would take something out we must put some- thing in. If nothing is iavested, nothing can be gained. But it is a singular fact that we overlook c‘thifi,l@\Y as applied to the spirit- ual life. 1f man would have life, and have it abundantly, be mrgy invest hiingelt, i just the pro- portivn that he gives himself to the service of God he makes an investment upon which God re- tupns sure dividends of life. Mr. Pratt’s address though short was one of the strong features of the Conference thus far. It was addressed particular- ly to young people and will doubt- less result in leading some to de- vote their lives exclusively to Christian service. Y X Yesterday was Sunday School day,and perhaps the most notable feature of the day’s program were the normal lessons given on Sunday School work by Dr. Worden, who has been at the head of Presbyterian Sunday School work in this country for 27 years, and who is fairly alive with the subject. His blackboard talks, morning and afternocon were an inspiration to teachers that will revolutionize Sunday school work in many a church in northern Minnesota. A very enjoyable feature of last evening’s meeting were six minute talks by missionaries from the home tields. The first was given by D. K. Lowry whose territory is Adams Presbytery, embracing the counties from Polk north and from Beltrami west. Over this territory Mr. Lowry continually travels on foot, preaching and organizing Sunday schools. He has frequently walked from Thief River to War- road a distance of 105 miles, through a territory now dotted with the Sunday schools he has organized. S. A. Blair, who was the first missionary to reach Be- midji nine years ago, followed and was so full of experiences that he could not be stopped “under 12 minutes. into Bemidji nine years ago from Walker through stvamps, and held crowed meetings here.

The music of last eyening’s session wus greatly enjoyed. The seryice opened with a song ser- vice by the congregation led by Dr. Freeburg. Solos were rendered by Mrs. Oberg and’ Rev. Ralph T. Fulton, while Mrs, Oberg and Dr, Freeburg delight- ed the congregation with a duet. AN IMPROMPTU PROGRAM, A short impromptu program was rendered last evening at the Baptist supper, abounding in fun and good fellowship. Dr. Adams presided as toastmaster, and responses were made by Rev. W. S. Ward of Crookston, Rev. J. R. Pratt, Rev. S. R. Ferguson, Rev. Neil A. Gilchrist and Rev, Thos. | Broomfield, concluding with sing- ing*‘Blest Be theTie that Binds,” MISSION DAY, Today has been devoted to Missions;, Dr. Adams presiding. F. E.

Said that he loved the ladies as much as any man but felt that .|number of the delegates enjoyed hardly be estimated. He de- scribed the remarkable interest in missions among the children of his own church. Professor H. B. Woodworth of the Univer- sity then addressed the Confer- ence on Making a Man. Conference Notes. At 4:30 yesterday afternoon a a trip to the head of the lake on the Moose, returning at 6. Rev. S. R. Ferguson returned to his home and his labors “in Iowa this morning. The after dinner program at the Baptist supper last evening was a brilliant display of wit and a revelation of good feeling most pleasant to see. The attendance last evening was the largest of the Conference thus far. This morning’s train brought in quite a number of delegates from the north line. An open air meeting will be held in the Park on Lake Boule- vard tomorrow afternoon, the weather permitting. A male quartette has been or- ganized and will sing this evening | for the first time. * Not all of the delegates to the Conference have registered yet but it is believed that the aumber is just about an even hundred. All the churches of the city will unite with the Conference meetings tomorrow which will be held morning and evening in the City Hall. A complimentak¥ excursion given by thé Business Men’s Clnb of Beinidji is announced for this afternoon at four o’clock. The Moose and the Columbia have his particular mission was to men. The only way .to reach men is to go to them. It is use- less for the preacher to expect men to come to church if he can- not go to their places of business. People found fault with Christ because he went among sinners but that is just the way he won them, Rev. J, H. Nicol, who goes to Syria in the fall, spoke on “The Muster’s Call to a New Crusade” giving some special reasons for work in the foreigu field. His address was very impressive. Rev. R. T.

The morning session closed with a brief Bible Study by Dr. Worden. Solos were sung dur- ing the morning by Dr. Freeburg and by Rev. R. T. Fulton. AFTERNOON.
