The free discussion definitely deter- | mined that the social and benevolent ten- ies of the league should be sub-| ordinated to the inculcation of religion and that the chief aim is the winning of | souls.

D., Rock Island,’ Il He presented a Very clear insight into the educational workings of the league. part he said: 7 e The reading course of the Epworth League 1s to help the Leaguers reach ideal manhood and womanhood. It is to train young Christians in holiness. It is to reveal to them the higher value of things; tg show them how to lay hold of God's best Bifts and <o maks plain 1o them his holy will. It is to teach them of God, to tell them of his wonderful love and to point out to them the way to eternal happi- ness. The reading course is to teach the word of God, to show the beauties and the felicities of the ‘scriptures, to make plain its ideals, its prophecies and predictions, and, above all, to teach the story of the Man of Galilee, The reading course is also to teach loyalty to the church. It should tell of its providen- tial birth, wonderful development, and great place it has had in lifting mankind up to right- eousness and civilization. It should, moreover, teach the doctrines, discipline and polity of the church, and thus create a love and an en- thusiasm for this great church of our fathers, The reading course should show us the key to unlock the doors of God’s universe, lay bare the secrets of earth and sky and make plain the mysteries of life about one’s pathway. The reading course should teach the Leaguers how best to improve their time, employ their tal- ents and take hold of their opportunities. It is for the purpose of introducing one to the great and good of all ages. Above all else, it s to show the Epworth Leaguer his duty to his God, to his country, to his church, to his nelgh- bor and to himself. Preparation of Leaders. The next speaker, Rev. W. A. clough, Victoria, B. C., selected for his subject “The Preparation of Leaders,” which is one of the most interesting sub- Jects in connection with league life, as upon the shoulders of the leaders de- volves the work of maintaining interest :nd gfiivolion to the league work. In part e said; Take your Bible and search out the topic proof texts and read them over on your knees, praying the while for the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit, the Divine Interpreter. Read the selected passages over at least a half-dozen times until the analysis of the sub- ject unfolds itself. If you want clear ideas of the subject ponder it well. Then take a good topical index and find every passage in the Bible on the topic to be studied and compare them. You will find that the comparative texts suggest thoughts and you will speedily prove the Bible to be ite own best commentary. Do not touch the helps until you have carefully studied the Bible itself and got out of 1t all that prayer and spirit can bring. Having done this, read everything you can get upon the sub- Ject. No danger of getting too much. You must Tot expect to enlighten others unless you re- celve light yourself, Become thoroughly sat- urated with the topic, You will not be able to freely present and discuss the subject unless you are perfectly familiar with it. Then study to apply what you have learned. It will matter little how much you know unless you are able to apply it. Finally, put your whole soul into the presen- tation of the lesson, and your study and prepa- ration will bear fruit. In the absence of the regularly selected speaker, Rev. B. D. McCreary delivered an address on “The League Devotional Meeting” that elicited much applause, despite the fact that it was wholly im- promptu. He endeavored to impress upon the Leaguers that spirituality is essential for the making of conversions. He de- clared that Christianity is sglrltual or it is nothing; that its very birth was due to a mighty 'outpouring of spirit, and that every great movement of Christianity has been spiritual in nature. He told of how all the great leaders of Bibical times were centers of spirituality, and said that John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist de- nomination, was not successful or an efficient minister until he became inspired by spirituality. In conclusion he said that the Epworth League, being a child of the Methodist church, must become a teacher of spiritu- ality and that, therefore, special attention :;l:‘:l‘ld be paid to the spiritual depart- DUTIES OF LEAGUERS ARE CLEARLY DEFINED Several Strong Addresses and Round Table Conference at Metropoli- tan Temple.

This primitive method of Christian evan- gelization, adopted by Methodism from the be- ginning, is an attractive and impressive in- terpretation of the mission of Jesus and the cpurch. The scope of such visitation must be as in- dlvidual and broad as the thought of Christ himself—to every man. To the poor, discon- solate,. shut in of the church we must go, but the shepherd has other sheep. From the neg- lected, perishing and dangerous classes, in- volving as they do the virtue, order and health of towns and metropolis, we never can turn with Jevitical disdain. To the spiritually des- titute and degraded who suffer from lavender | ease and fare sumptuously every.day we have & supreme summons. They have a place in our pity and prayers. They must hold a capi- tal olace in our service. What though the duty be disagreeable and the surroundings be dangerous in some sections and in the homes of refined licentiousness morally nauseating! There Is our duty, blg and direct; God's love, and r orving need. All these lead the eager servant of the Lord forth to them house by house. Hospital and Prison Work. An interesting address was that of 8. B. Campbell of St. Joseph, Mo., on the sub- ject, “‘Hospital and Prison Work.” He sald in substance: And now the prison bespeaks our concern. We are fronted with startling facts. Mrs. Maude Ballington Booth tells us there are over 0,000 men in our State prisons. The New York Herald recently stated that there are 250,000 accepted criminals in this country maintained at an annual expense to the people of $1,000,- 000,000. The facts discover the problem; the analysis suggests' the remedy. The causes of crime cited make it clear that the solution Continued on Page Fifteen. @ il i el @ DETROIT ENTERS THE FIELD, P Continued From Page Thirteen. electric lights and all that sort of we will make up in some other way.’ Rev. Mr. Mitchell then went on to say that Minneapolis was ready to assume the weighty responsibility the coming of the convention would impose. He showed letters from the Governor of Minnesota, Mayor of Minneapolis and from the Com- mercial Club and other civil bodies as- suring him that nothing would be left undone to give the convention delegates a royal time while enjoying the hos- pitality of Minneapolis. ‘“We have a convention hall capable of seating 6000 _people went _on T.

Of all the citiesgof the North, Minne- apolls is the most centrally located, it being midway’ between the two oceans. It is the home of Bishop Joyce, the presi- dent of _the International Epworth League. My people are desirous that the next convention should be held in the city in which the president resides, be- fore the expiration of his term of office. We Methodists of the: Northwest need the quickening impulse the coming of the convention would inspire. Detroit Not Represented. *“The thermal belt of Methodism in this country, so to speak, lies in the States along the parallel of Ohio, Indiana, Ili- nois, Missouri, Kansas and so on. Up this evening was referred to Drs. Berry and Newman with instructions to prepare a report and submit it to the committes this afternoon. These resolutions will be of the usual character and will thank the various local committees, the press and transportation companies for favors ex- tended during the sessions of the conven- tion. One resolution which was agreed upon directs Drs. Berry and Du Bose to_enter into negotiations with the Baptist Young Peopie’s Union and Christian Endeavor wita a view toward securing an interna~ tslongl code of topic lessons for use in the un | our way a sort of frigid belt is struck: | but I am happy to say that since Bishop | Joyce has come to live with us it has| made us much warmer Methodists. Give | us the convention and we will get warm- | er still. We will give you everything man can desire. We love the cause and we want to be able to say that the In- ternational Epworth League was for some days our honored guests. If we cannot do as well as San Francisco has done, we will do as well as we can, and that is saying a great deal.” C. R. Ellis, also of Minneapolis, stated that he w#s advised that a new conyention hall of immense size would be erected shortly, so that there could be no question that the convention would be suitably housed. Bishop Joyce asked if any were present who desired to advance the clalm of any other city, but there was no response. Dr. Berry thereupon stated that he under- stood that Detroit was in the fleld, and that the representatives of that city asked that the consideration of the subject be postponed until they had an opportunity of arguing the matter before the commit- tee. At this point, at the suggestion of Dr. Berry, the committes went into executive session. The matter was discussed for nearly an hour. The sentiment was ex- pressed by A. C. Crews, who is said to favor Detroit, that the offer made by Min- neapolis was vague and indefinite. There was nothing to show that the city would provide for the convention in a tangible manner. The committee required definite assurances, which, thus far, had not been glven. Referred to Special Committee. The matter was discussed at some length, with the result that the question was referred to a special committee con- sisting of Messrs. Berry, Du Bose, Carter, Crews and#Cooper, to consider the propo- sition and report to the committee at a later date. Tkere is no telling when the committee will. meet or when it will file its conclu- sion. It is thought the next meeting place will be selected by to-morrow, but as there is no definite time set for filing a report no action may be taken for weeks. The complexion of the committee as to the meeting place is conjectured, but not posi- tively known.
