REPORTS SHOW A FAVORABLE OUTLOOK An Address by the Oldest Living Harvard Graduate. ALL FAVOR CHRISTIAN UNITY There was onotker very large audience at Metzerott Hall this morning for the sec- end day's sessions of the national confer- ence of Unitarian and other churches. Sev eral papers of mcre than passing interest were presented and listened to with the closest attention. The merning session was opened with a brief religious service con- ducted by Rev. Stephen H. Camp of Brook- lyn. This was followed by a masterly pa- per on the subject of the life and character of Christ, as illustrated in the New Testa- ment, by Rev. Dr. Furness of Philadelphia. Dr. Furness is ninety-three years of age and the oldest ving graduate of Harvard University, having received his degree from that institution just seventy-five years ago. Notwithstanding his advanced years, Dr. Furness spoke in a voice that was easily audible all over the hall. He remained seated while delivering his address, but read his paper without the use of glasses. He expressed the opinion that all churches, Catholic and Protestant, regardless of dog- ma and creed, are advancing the cause of God on earth. “No one of education,” he said, “believes in miracles, especially when Rev. Brooke Herford, D.D. they are reported from remote and distant periods. Miracles, which are but violations of natural laws, are out of harmony with all known or probable truths. Jesus saw God in man as no one else ever did.” About Miracles. Miracles, Dr. Furness said, «re the re- eults of unauthenticated tradition, and most of what was written about Jesus probably appeared soon after His death. Before His death there were some thou- sands who believed in Him as faithfully as did His disciples. But it was thought that Jesus would appeer again in that same generation as the Messiah, and conse- quently the writings about Him which had been prepared were not regarded as of any great importance. When He did not reap- pear a greater value was attached to the writings of the many. So the gospels de- rived their importance, and yet Matthew was the only one of the four who was very closely connected with Jesus. There was little or ro attempt at chronological order in the gospels, and from these it is practi- cally Impossible to estimate the length of time that Jesus’ public life continued. Yet the surprise and beauty of it all is that frcm this undesigned narrative we gather such a wonderfully clear idea of the life and character of Jesus. ‘The time is coming, said Dr. Furness, when man will be so one with God that there will be no need for formal observ- ances, and we shall be in harmony with Him and with all mankind. The apprecia- tion of the absurdity of relying upon the sword as a means for securing complete in- ternational justice is rapidly hastening the day when arbitration will be the accepted means of settling all international disputes. At the conclusion of this address, upon the recommendation of the business com- mittee, fifteen minutes were allotted to @ committee consisting of Mr. E. B. Has- kell of Boston, Prof. Everett of Harvard and Rey. Mr. Slicer of Buffalo to set forth the claims of “The New World,” which ts planned as a non-sectarian and liberal re- view of religion and Mterature. In this, it was claimed, is to be found the last word in the higher criticism. It was recom- mended that a guarantee fund be raised, Mrs. Emily A. Fifield. the Interest to be used to support the re- view. In case it should depart from its high standard the fund is to revert to the Unitarian Association as a publication fund. Church Unity. Before proceeding to the regular order of business Mr. George W. Stone of Boston, treasurer of the association, asked leave to introduce a resolution. Its reading was greeted with enthusiastic applause. It was referred to the business committee without debate. The preamble and resolution as re- ported back to the conference later and adopted were as follows: “Whereas, this conference at meeting adopted the following: “These churches accept the religion of Jesus, holding in acccrdance with His teaching, that practical religion 1s summed up In love to God and love to man.’ “ ‘And we cordially invite to our working fellowship any who, while differing from us in belief, are in general sympathy with our spirit and our practical aims.’ “Resolved, That the national council give its last Nicotine Neutralized CHEW AND SMOKE MUAUOL POUCH TOBACCO.

UL A. The first of these speakers was Hev. Chas. W. Wendte of Oakland, Cal., super- intendent for the Pacific coast, whose name has been prominently mentioned as a pos- sible successor to Dr. Shippen as pastor of All Souls’ Church of this city. He is a mest attractive speaker, and would un- doubtedly make a very popular pastor. He spoke of the progress and possibilities of Unitarianism in the states of California, Oregon and Washington. The intellectual character of the people of these states, he said, makes this faith particularly suited to their needs. There is not a town of 5,000 inhabitants where a Unitarian so- ciety could not be successfully kept up. Of all the churches which have been started but one has gone up, and that was the one that went up in flames at San Diego. Mr. Wendte spoke at some length of the meth- ods that might be adopted to further the work in this section, and he laid especial stress upon the desirability of having some of the leading Unitarian ministers of the east visit the Pacific coast to show the people of that section what an intellectual set of men are in this church. Im the South and West. Rev. George L. Chaney of Atlanta, Ga., department superintendent of the southern states, spoke of the outlook for Unitarianism in that part of the country. The times were never more propitioug, he said, and with the wonderful advance in the south along all lines the Unitarian Church is presented with an opportunity such as it has never had be- fore. Fifteen years ago there were but two Unitarian churches in all the south land; now there is a line extending from Baltimore on the north to San Antonio on the south- west. The harvest is ripe for the sickle, and should be garnered without delay. “The Opportunities of the Unitarian Church in the Great M:ddle West” was the subject of an address by Rev. Trowbridge B. Forbush of Chicago. He gave a s.milarly hopeful view of the situation in his tleld of work. There should be twenty missionaries in that section, he said, instead of two, as at present. They would find all the work they could do ready to their hands, not only on Sundays, but on week days as well. An occasional service would soon develop a need for a regular church; the missionary would soon become an itinerant, to be suc- ceeded in turn by the permanent pasior. What is wanted in the west, however, Is not a mere theory of negation, but an active religion. The people want a church, not merely a lecture hall. If this be furnished, the future of Unitarianism in the west is sure. Rey. A. W. Gould of Chicago also spoke of the work in the west He sald that, in his cpinion, the money which had been poured fromthe east into that section had done more barm than good, by tending to pauperize the churches and making them dependent vpon outside aid. Whenever this aid had been withdrawn the churches had quickly shown that they could take care of them- selves. “The west,” said Mr. Gould, “has to pay for everything else; it can afford to pay for any religion it wants. What we need is not more money, but more religion.” In conclusion, Mr. Gould discussed the Problem of how best to educate the chil- dren into the Unitarian Church. Rev. D. M. Wilson of Boston spoke briefly of the situation in New England, the stronghold of Unitarlanism. Unitarian Mission Work. Rev. D. W. Morehouse, superintendent of church extension work in the department of the middle states and Canada, spoke on “Our Missionary Methods.” After describ- ing the faulty methods that have been pur- sued in the past, he proceeded to advocate the adoption of a more business-like policy for the future. Instead of dividing their energies and resources among a great many feeble missionary undertakings, each be- gun and prosecuted by a single missionary, he would have all the missionary resources and efforts of the denomination concen- trated each year upon a few tmportant strategic points. By this means, he con- tended, although fewer new and struggling movements would be reported each year, very many more self-supporting, vigorous and useful churches would, in the course of ‘a few years, be successfully established. Mr. Morehouse closed his address as fol- 8: verguch, as I have tried to describe them, are the missionary methods which I believe are demanded by the conditions which con- front us today. No intelligent observer of the signs of the times will deny that in the present state of knowledge and religious thought a great reconstructive movement in religion has become a necessity. Who shall lead it? An attitude of wider hos- pitality to the truth than ours no one can occupy. To more inclusive principles of in- tellectual freedom no one can hold. To a freer spirit and a higher ethical alm in re- ligion and life no one appears to have yet attained. And since by nothing short of truth untrammeled, of intellectual freedom of the most inclusive range, of a spirit the broadest and most catholic, and of ethical aims the most righteous, will the true con- structive movement in religion be inspired and directed, why we not hope to bear an honorable part in the van of this great movement that is destined—if we are faith- ful to our trust—to establish religion on broader and firmer foundations than ever, and make It a mightier force for good in shaping the destinies of mankind? If we are but true to the great opportunity that the present conjunction of circumstances opens to us, we can make the faith and the principles which we hold an unspeak- able blessing to the world. If we fail in our duty at this juncture, we must expect to see the present movement in religious thought deflected from ,its rightful course by the unethical, truth-sacrificing compro- mise methods and ideals of so-called liberal orthodoxy. If that takes place, the tri- umph of our principles and our ideals will be postponed perhaps for! two or three cen- turles. The present, then, is thé auspicious time for us to put forth our efforts in a measure commensurate to the greatness of our opportunity and of the end to be at- tained.” At the conclusion of Mr. Morehouse’s ad- dress the business committee made a brief Teport and the conference adjourned at 15 o'clock. Afternoon and Evening. The program for the afternoon and even- ing Is as follows: 2 230 p.m.—Mezting of the National All- erce of Unitarian and Other Liberal Chris- tlan Women. At this meeting vice presi- dents and directors wiil be elected and a nominating committee and committee on credentials appointed. Reports of secre- tarics and standing committees will be pre- sented and matters of general interest con- sidered, 3:30 p.m.—Public meeting under the aus- pices of the Unitarian Temperance Society in All Souls’ Church, 14th and L streets, upon “Modern Methods in Temperance Ke- form.” Addresses will be’ made by Prof. Francis G. Peabody, D.D., secretary of the committee of fifty for the investigation of the Nquor problem; Rey. A. P. Doyie, gen- eral secretary of the Catholic Total Ab- stinence Union of America, and Rev. D. N. Beach of Cambridge, Mass., who will speak upon “The Righteousness of the Norwegian Principle and Paramount Importance of its Application in Temperance Reform.” 4 p.m.—Meeting of the Unitarian Temper- ance Society. Wednesday evening: & p.m.—‘'The Origins of Liberal Thought in America,” a paper by John Fiske, LL.D., Cambridge, Mass. 9 p.m.—‘Our Unitarian Theology,” a paper by Charles Carroll Everett, D.D., Lu.D., dean and Bussey professor of theology, Harvard University. The session this evening promises to be the most important of the conference on ac- count of the prominence of the speakers, as well us the character of the subjects they are to discuss. Young People’s Organizations. Yesterday afternoon prior to the main meeting there was a gathering in the small hall at Metzerott’s to consider the proposed consolidation of unity clubs and other young people's organizations. Mr. George W. Stong presided. During the past year com- mittees from the unity clubs and the Guild Alliance have had the matter under von- sideration, and have reached the general opinion that the time is ripe for such a con- solidation, and that a national organizaiion should be formed to be known as the Young People’s Unitarian Union. Addre en this general subject were made by Rev. W. Sprague, Mr. Gould, Rev. G. W. Rey. Iu. B. MacDonald, Rey. E. A. and others. Rey. Dr. Van Ness submitted a constitution for the proposed union, wh.ch contained the following important po.nts: That each branch should pledge itecit, in accordance with the creed of the Unitaman Church, to assist in a practical way some charitable organization or effort, and that the cardinal principles of the union should be truth, service and righteousness. ‘Ise meeting then adjourned without acting cn the constitution until this afternoun. Papers Read. At the regular afternoon session, which began at 3 o'clock, the first paper was on “The Church and the Masses,” by Rev. John Cuckson of Boston. Dr. Cuckson stated that he meant no particular church of denomina- tion by his topic. His object was to con- sider the Christian church in. general as it stands related to the multitudes. Last Evening’s Session. In the absence of Dr. Edward Ev Hale, Rev. Frederick L. Hosmer read a paper on the subject “Our Congregational Polity.” ’ The meeting last evening was devoted to the question of “Our yoling péople; their relations to church, denomination and life at large.” Dr. Horton was the presiding officer for the evening, and made a tew in- troductory remarks. Prof. G. Stanley Hall, president of Clark University, spoke on “Pedagogical Methods in Sunday School Work.” Rev. B. A. Bulkely of Unity Church, Chi- cago, spoke on “The Cultivation of the Spiritual Nature.” He predicted that tke new movement to unite the young peuple in religious work would be one of the most important phases in the denominational life, and said that the union of young peopie’s societies would mean increased fervor. Rey. Ida C. Hultin, who is ons of the most eloquent women preachers in the councry, delivered an interesting address on the sub- ject, “Religious Development Through In- tellectual Leadings.” The final paper of the evening was read by Rev. Thomas R. Slicer, pastor of the Church of Our Father, at Buffalo, on the subject “How can we advance the cause of citizenship by instruction in the Sunday school?” —— __ A Kipling Story.

WORK DONE DURING THE FIRST YEAR Reforms Instituted for the Bene- fit of the Public. MANY NEW MEMBEES ————— The Market Dealers’ Co-operative Asso- ciation of the District of Columbia held its first annual meeting last night. There were forty-two members present, and the reports of the various officers for the past year showed a flourishing condition of the organization's affairs. An election of offi- J. K. Mangum. cers to serve the ensuing vear was held, which resulted in the re-election of J. K. Mangum as president by a unanimous vote. Vice President S ells declined re- election because his r lence in Anacostia prevented his regular attendance at the meetings, and Mr. E. C. Ford was chosen in his place. Mr. F, L. Summy, Robert Boudler and W. F. Carter were respec- tively re-elected secretary, treasurer and chaplain; H. R. Biddle was made financial secretary, R. B. Poole, marshal, and O. D. Jackson, warden. One Year's Work. The association has been in existence only one year and it has accomplished a great deal of good, not only for the deal- ers themselves, but for the entire com- munity which patronizes the various city markets. There were thirty-seven charter members, and the officers elected to serve during the first year were: J. K. Man- gum, president; S. Swindells, vice presi- dent; F. L. Summy, secretary; Robert Boulder, treasurer; W. C. Heitmuller,finan- cial secretary; W. F. Carter, chaplain; Robert Cowling, marshal, and H. R. Bid- die, warden. The usefulness of the asso- ciation, from a business standpoint, in bringing together all the principal produce dealers in the ¢ markets became quick- ly apparent, and the membership rapidly incressed by embracing the opportunity for an exchenge of views on the necessities of the trade and the best way in which to cater to their customers and protect them as well as themselves, the association soon began to show tangible results. An agree- ment was reached with the commission merchants of the District by which the long argued question of what constituted wholesale dealing in produce was settled F. L. Summy. and a rm_.iation entered into specifying what cuuntities the wholesale houses should sell. Last spring when the berry season was about to begin, the association began vigorous warfare on the fraudulent short-quart berry box, and secured the aid of The Evening Star in exposing the prac- tice generally followed by street vendors of berries of buying short-measure boxes, holding only a pint and a half and filling them with the berries selling them as quarts. The crusade was a vigorous one, and the public, becoming thus acquainted with the custom, insisted on purchasing berries by actual measurement, and the short-quart trade was given its ¢ th-blow. Later on the crowded condition of the streets and approaches in the vicinity of the P street and K street markets was taken up by the association, and the comfort of market- goers greatly increased by the evil being remedied. The members of the association now em- brace over a hundred of the leading market dealers of the District, and a relief feature has been added to it, which distributed dur- ing last winter several hundred dollars to the peor of the city, besides the daily as- sistance rendered to the needy by the in- Robt. Bowdler. dividual members. One member was lost by death during the year. His funeral was attended by the association in a body, sev- eral being selected as’pallbearers. One thing that the association wishes to impress on market patrons Is that the members guarantee all goods purchased in- side the market buildings as being precise- ly what they are represented to be, but do not want to bear the responsibility for those purchased outside, which, the mem- bers claim, are frequently represented to be fresh country products, when the fact is they have been In the hands of several parties, from commission merchant to ped- dler, and are sometimes stale and unwhole- some. The Objects. A glance at the constitution of the asso- ciation shows that its objects shall be the advancement of the interests of the market dealers, who, by mutual effort and the cul- tivation of a feeling of friendship, may elevate the moral, social and business con- ditions of all. Membership is confined to male dealers In the several markets of the District and their assistants over twenty- one years of age. Applications for member- ship are referred to a committee of three members, who report at the next meeting after their reception. Elections are by ball ballot, and three black balls shall reject. The initiation fee is $3, and the annual dues are $2, payable semi-annually, at the meet- INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS. AMUSEMENTS ...... Page 12 ATTORNEYS ..... Page 5 AUCTION SALES. Page BOARDING ..

Notwithstanding their growth and success some few are no doubt yet unaware of their extraordinary advantages. As com- munities become rich and have teeming populations, and a multiplicity of interest, a vast number of wants are developed which call for a more perfect machinery in their conduct. We propose to publish a series of “object lessons," giving the advantages of a Trust Company—and this ome in par- tleular. Take for instance Sts trust department. ‘There are many reasons plainly apparent to the thinking man why it 1s more advan- tagccus to name a trust company rather than an individual to act as executor, ad- ministrator or trustee fn carrying out your last will and testament. The individual must die, and is also susceptible to care- Jessness, Incompetency, extravagance and even dishonesty. The trust company gues on forever, and is amenable to the law. It rust give an account of its actions, keep Its accounts systematically, report regularly and by a more skillful and experienced man- agement of the estate can necessarily in- crease the profits to the heirs. ‘This company draws and kecps wills at its own expense when named as executor, ad- ministrator or trustee.
