Bryan of Indiana, atatlng that he would be unable to be present at the con vention at this time and his address had consequently to be omitted. ' Dr. Williamson's Address. - The principal address of the morning; aesslon was that of Rev. W. J. William son, D. D.. pastor of the Third church, St. Louts, Mo. The subject of Dr. Will iamson's address was "The Price avid Com pensation of Spiritual Power." He aaid in part: "Power romes to ua at the moment of action. Men who have conquered the world have come down from the hills. The great victories of the World have been won by men who have forgotten themselves. The question of the hour Is the evangelisation of our home land. The price of power is the surrender of life, the completion Of the life beautiful. May we go forward from this place nlld with the power of God to do, to seek for the betterment of mankind everywhere Let ua forget self in the evangelisation of the world. What we want la workers for God's cause, and more workers. The field ia vast, the harvest Is ripe and work ers are wanted. There la no nobler vo cation than that of working for Christ, working for the betterment of your .fellow men. It is an inspiration to do great and better things and the reward is In calculable. It Ilea with you young people to do much. To you ia entruated the great work of the future. God will give yon the power, and He wanta you to en list in Ills cause, that mankind may be come better and your mission be fulfilled.' Prof. Towner Bang a solo. "Here Am I," after "which the benediction waa pro nounced by Rev. Mr. Oelselwest of Chi cago. During the early afternoon atate. provincial and territorial rallies were held at the varloua churches. The genersl session resumed at I K) at the auditorium. Tower of Goal. Rev. O. W. Van Osdel of Spokane waa the principal speaker. Ills subject waa: "The Baptist Young People and the Power of God." He said: "The title of my address ts a statement of fact almply and la In reality a firm name. It la a marvelous thing what God has been doing during the past fifteen year with the Baptist Toung People's union. Greater things are yet to come from our experience la the past.

Nowhere are there such bargalna shown In really fine clothing for women aa you can get during this great clearing sale. to conquer the world through us. There are enough young people In this gathering to help the Baptist Young People's union out of Its present financial atralts. There has been too much of our holding meetings In the east heretofore. I Want you to ac cept the invitation to meet with us at Spokane next year, and then I am going to mnke a motion to change the name of the the organisation to the Baptist Young People's I'nion of the World. Whatever our future may be, we must be dependent upon God. We must hold on to the power of God, which Is easy to obtain. So long as that power la unhindered It is omnipo tent. If we would succeed we' must ex amine ourselves and remove the obstaclea out of the way ot God's power, that It may prevail. Hla power has been shown In the paat by the martyrs -who had convictions, believed things, and died for them. Christ said:' T am the wsy, the life; no man cometh to the Father but tHrough Me.' A multitude of people are living too much on the margin of tojjay." Klowa Indian Quartet. Rev. H. H. Clouse, miaslonary to thi Kiowa Indians, at Mountain View, Okl., waa Introduced and presented four Klowa IndUns, three men and one woman, con verts of that mission. They sang a song in the Indian language entitled, "Whj.n Pld the Father Bend Down to Save ua?" The song waa extremely Interesting be cause of Its slow musical cadence that Is so weirdly characteristic of the Indian music. These Indiana will sing frequently throughout the convention. A telegram was read from Rev. Len O. Broughton of Atlanta, stating that he had. missed his train connections and would be unable to reach Omaha for the afternoon meetin. Rev. Mr. Celselwest of Chicago waa then designated to take charge ot the afternoon devotional meeting. He spoke from the text Psalma 84:11. He aaid In part: "Too many people take the Bible, as a book of magic. There is a vast, differ ence In asking of God a thing, rather than telling Him ot It. We aOhere too much to the kindergarten experience In religion. The apirtt knowa that we cannot pray right be cause of our Infirmities. Let no man say that 'I am kinder than my heavenly father.' Let your prayer be, 'Lord, he whom Thou lovest Is sick.' God simply wanta to be told. There la too much of this clamoring for what we call the bless ing of God. What we want is a closjr communion with God. Do not storm God out with yuur petitions, Just afck Him, and He will answer our needs as we need them." With the close of Pr. Geiselwest'a address the afternoon meeting adjourned. KVEM6 IESSIO FILL OF LIFE Banners Awarded and Addreasea Madg- at Aodllorlom. At the evening aesslon ot the convention the Auditorium waa comfortably filled. The program embraced three featurea of unuaual Interest, a strong addreaa by Rev. R. M. West of St. Paul, Minn.; the annual address of the president, John H. Chap man, and the presentation of the Interna tional prise banners for efficiency In work outlined for the Baptist Young People's I'nion of America. The session opened at T SO with a praise service. In which the chorus took the prom inent part, singing the songs of the new Alexander-Towner book. The choir proved to be a great attraction, and later, at th cloae of the meeting, when Prof. Towner sang "Evening Bella" and the- Immense choir hummed the refrain, the audience seemed enraptured with the melody. After the praise service the chairman of the evening, Rev. George A. Miller of Baltimore, created no little amusement, and moved many hundrede of women to action, by asking them to remove their hats. Nebraska Wine a Banner. Rev. E. B. Chlvers. D. P., of New York read a passage of scripture. Then followed the presentation of the International ban ners by Prof. Ira M. Price of Chicago, chairman of the executive committee of the union. The sacred literature banner went to the province of Ontario and Que bec and became their permanent property, as this makes the fourth time they have won It. The conquest mission banner waa awarded to Nebraska and for the third time to the society at Grand Island collage. At the name of Nebraska the voice of the apVakar waa drowned la the cheer of the multitude, and when Grand Island was named, a group of student from that col lets rose In the balcony and gave their college yell. The Bible reader's banner was given to Alabama, and for the sccund time Lha oUsty at geliua unlveislty. I mak ing the presentation Prof. Price spoke on "Thoughta," hla point being thst If the minds of men sre occupied with high Ideals the success of the plans -of Uod la reson ably assured. There followed a olo, "Only a Sinner," by t Prof. 'Towner. Dr. West's Address.' Then came the principal address of the evening on ' I'ses of a Life of Power." by Rev. R. M. West. p. p., 0f St. Paul. Minn., who sld: ' The home of Philip, the evangelist, wn once the scene of a tragic event. Paul and Ms sttendants were going up to Jeru salem and stopped n few days to virlt Philip st Caesarea. While they wee the'o the prophet Agahus came from Jerusalem. He knew well the disposition of the Jews at Jerusalem towards Paul, that It w:is bitter. Taking Pauls girdle he bound his own hsnds and feet. While the whole company watched him In wonder he ex plained his conduct: go 'shall the Jews at Jerusalem hind the man that owncth this girdle and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles." Not doubting the accuracy nf the Information of Agnhus, sll at once commenced to dlii!tl Paul from his purposed vlstt to Jerusnlrm, but he silencing them said: "What do ye weeping and breaking my heart? For 1 im readv Jot to be hound onlv, hut aleo to die at eruaalem for the name of the Lord Jesu." He was tnking a look at life from the fiolnt of view of a servint of Jesus Christ, lis viewpoint did not niter the things which awaited him In life, but it altered his atti tude toward them, saving him from tears and cowardice, snd. better still, making him the master rather thnn the creature of circumstance. Because Paul entered Into his career as a Christian to do the will of od therefore he was able ss he looked Into the future 0 say, "None of these things move me." and. Is he looked bnck upon his career completed to sav. "I have fought a good fight; l j,nve finished my course; I have kept the faith." affords ua a splendid Illustration of the life of power put to appropriate, uses. He explained his active ministry Ss the result of God working In him mightily and derlared that the grace of God Was not bestowed upon him In vain, for he labored more abundantly than they all, Pnnl gent foe n Purpose. One historian writing of Paul sftvs: "It Is Impossible to studv the life of Paul with out receiving the impression thst he was ent Into the world to do a work required by the Juncture of history on which he fell. At the moment of Paul's appearance upon, the stage the Christian movement was In the utmost need of a man of extra ordinary endowments, who, becoming pos sessed with its genius, should incorporate it with the general hlntoy of the world." I want to help -you realise tonight that America Is at a Juncture 6f hlstorv which calls for men nnd women possessed with the genius of Christianity who shall meet and master the problem of the time In the spirit and power of Jesus Christ. From the position of young Christians I wsnt you lo look Into life and consider the problems presented In ita stream of events upon the solution of which depends the weal or woe of America and mankind. In the matters to which I shall direct your attention to night life will compel you to tako a par', nnd Christ depends upon you . to take the part which is dear to Him. The part In life which you may perform requlrea that you he filled with might br Hla spirit in the Inner life, that you put on the whole armor of God and having done all things stand in Hla strength. In International affairs there are two movements that are progressing side br side. There are the provisions for war manifest In the standing armies and bris llng navies of the nations. There are the provisions for peace manifest in the fre quent resort to arbitration, to tiie advocacy Of which many keen minds are devoted. The provision for peace Is alo manifest In the Interparliamentary union with Its more than 2.000 members, representing the parlia mentary bodies of the lenrilnv nations Manifestly these two forces cannot con tinuously act side by aide, one or the other must predominate. MoTlaar Toward Ideal. War Is not yet over. More blood will doubtless yet -be shed In deciding by force questions concerning the Justice of which Informed snd thinking men will be per fectly clear at the beginning. But we are moving toward Tennyaon's ideal: "When the war drums beat no longer and ' the battle flags sre furled, , . - In. the parliament of -men, the federation of the world." : We have found It possib'e to maintain personal honor without a duel; to entabllsh justice between man ad man without the nip pocket pistol; to st'ttle difficulties be tween state and state,. without recourse to war. We shall yet doObtless find the way to settle International .difficulties without the terrors of war. This will be achieved when tiie nation. Ml ,rrie Mate and . (h Individual, turns from war to the lees cruel and expensive arbitrament of reason "When the common sense of most shall hold the fretful realm In' swe. ' And the kindly earth, shall slumber lapt In universal law." There Is no doubt as to which Idea will ultlmstely survive, force or reason; but. Christian young people, during your career the better cause will be struggling to the top. Be sure to get on the right sldo of that question. II Matters pertaining to our national life. There are certain matters pertaining o cur American life which are presenting Crohloms, a solution to which will doubtless e found, must be found, during the half century of active life which Is before ydxt. Materialism nn Issne. 1. The question of msterlalism. Our gov ernment has passed successfully the diffi culties arising In the time of construction. We have a constitution which binds a vast territory and a numerous people, a credit which permits large and successful com merce with the world. Constitution, credit and union all have been menaced and all stand unscathed. The reasonableness of our constitution, the stability of our credit, the Inseparabieness of our union, theso are matters which are well established; but a new and greater trial awaits the American people, the trial of materialism. In no other country has woslth developed so rapidly and to such an extent, and probahly nowhere ese does vast wealth fluctunte so rapidly. We make and unmake million aires in a day. The dream of wealth Hits across every pillow, and In hope of Its realisation some are already risking honor, reputation, conscience and everything ele In earth and heaven. We have been made to realise that the problem of municipal reform la not so hard pressed by any other consideration aa by that of the "ledger." The majority of people know that the existing condltlona In ninny cities are evil and unjust, unlawful, hut the conditions bring profit to many. They would rather see the Iniquity and Injustice than lose their profit. Many others do not. gain by the system, but they would lose If thev staunchly advocated a chnnge. They would rather see the conditions continue than suffer material loss consequent upon the change. If the question of reform could be separated from that of profit and loss the reforma would soon come. Reforms In finance. In municipal and state govern ment must come or disasier will.

Shall the great gianta. capital and trades union come to conflict or co-operation t Two Giant Combinations. There are two very conspicuous features In our industrial life today. First, there Is the great combination of capital. In whluh the wealth ot the many has learned to act as a unit. In which the word of a single man determines the Industrlnl move ment not of a few thousand or hundreds of thousands of dollars, but of hundreds of millions, even billions of dollars. It Is conservatively estimated that nine billions of capital is directed in the United States bv one little group of flnanclera wliow center Is in New York. This concentration of wealth represents a power more vast than that held by ancient klngB. Just what its' Influence will b depends n9t upon wealth aa an abstraction nor upon .wealth as a concretion of value, but upon the character of the men who control it. The presence of this kingly power of money Jn society would present a problem sufflcientiy serious if It stood alone, but this power does not stand alone. Over against this tinllath of capital stsnds the Uolleth of lubor, the tradea union. These are the two heavyweights of Industry. Shall they pre sent to us co-operation or combat? That Is the question. If these two giants Join in mortal combat anything from a man td a nation may perish. Whether they will each exercise toward each the cardinal virtues with God, Justice, mercy and truth or cast aside all restraint nnd fiv at each other's throat, is not yet positively settled. It will be, however. In the next (Hty years of tlme You will be a factor in that set tlement. What you say and do will tend to cool or heat the passions of men on one side or the other of this question. The doctrine of the Trinity has ita place In theology, and any unsoundness on that subject is looked upon with alarm. It Is not at all a difficult matter to And men whose belief In the Trinity is sll right, but their practice of fraternity is all wrong. How long shall we believe that God la more concerned with creed than wtlh con duct? It is entirely possible thst the sig nificant and spectsl message of God to oitr day Is. "1 will have mercy and not creeds. let It be the purpose of yur lives of power to make merciful and fraternal the eco nomic relations of men. 8. The sanctity of the home. ' The home is quite generally considered the unit of society by sociologists. If a nation be looked upon as an organic whole, then a home mav be regarded ns a life cell. Cpon the purity and healthfulness of these life cells depend the vigor anil permanence of the natlunal life. It Is an alarming fact that the American home Is menaced by the evil of divorce. Plvorccs sre more numerous In the t'nltcd States than in anv other country where record are kept, and the number of divorces Is on the Increase. In 1870 3 B-10 per cent of the marriages ended In divorce. In I" the marriages ended In divorce. In 1X90 the percentage of divorces to marriaaes waa one-half of 1 per cent. In lf It was seven-tenths of 1 per cent. Desertion of wife and children by the husbnnd, and of the husband and children by the wife Is becoming a Common crime with which the charity officials of our cities hsve to deal. This, too, Is the most frequent and the must easily sbused legal ground for divorce. Bevond any doubt the sanctity of the home In America Is menaced by the spirit In marriage which fosters and makes possi ble divorce. The union, the home and Its sanctitv, becomes of greHter vr!ue than either party In the marriage relation. Many, however, regard the relation as a conveni ence to the individual to be thrown aside like a garment when the tsate changes. This spirit must be met and defeated or everything that is good and pure In earth will be struck with blight. In the followers of Jesus Christ this divorce evil must find its strongest opponents. Fstsre of Christianity. 4. Shall the next epoch In the affairs of ChrlMlanlty be sscendant or decsdent? There are condltlona existing in the realm of Christianity which none of us can overlook. The attitude of the common mind toward the Bible snd the church Is not Jut what It used to be half n century ago. Bcriptural utterances which were re cently unchallenged are quite seriously challenged now. There sr those who fed that the authority of the Klble la gone. There are others who believe thst it re mains Just what it alwavs was. There are still others mho believe that If the Bible Is to retain its due snd valuable authority over the minds and consciences of men there will be need of change In some direc tions. The Bible Is not the only reality with which men hsve to deal. They have to deal with the material worlj and the facta concerning it which science is bring ing more and more Into the strong llsht of the foreground. They have to deal with the facta of experience as they are pre sented to us In the accredited history of the past and as they appear before us In the palpable events of today. Whether the Plhle shall be repudisted by the best edu cated and best trained minds of our land for non-ennformlty to fsct and well-tes'l-fisd eiperlence. or whether Its deathless truths shall be regnant lit the advancing order of things, will denend largely on the wsy in which those who love this Plhle present It and represent' It In ths next fl'ty yeara. There are theories about the Bible ahich men have established snd rlrrulsted. There are Interpretations which hsve been humanly and faillbly made, some of which theories and Interpretations stand In rro tesque rontradtctlon to established facts of science and history. The effort to main tain thst contradiction Is hopeless effort. The truths of the Bible ran easily maintain themselves against the enmity of men, but theories and interpretations cannot main tain themselves agslnst the undenled and undeniable fsrts either ot sclsnc or his tory.

The Bible, rightly understood and rightly in terpreted, cannot possibly be out of hnr motiy with the ordered universe nor with the course of humsn events as seen in the past. Your service to the epoch which shall follow you will be a great one ff you shall succeed in co-ordinating the deathless truths of Uod'a word with the undeniable faots of-'flod's world of matter and of events In this sge of science and history. Conclusion Here In relation to these mnt tera which humanity will have to struggle wltliMn the next fifty years, you. young Christians, will And your life work. It cannot be performed In weakness, It ran only be performed In power.- He who de votes himself -simply to a mercantile or professional career and turn his mind away from these matters and leaves them to take their course Is abandoning the purposes for which God put him Into his tory. The right thing In International re lations, the right thing In the Industrial world, the right thing In economy, the right thing wtih respect to home and re ligion, must be done. ' There are two soenes In history which will help us to appreciate this matter. One Is the burning if Rome, ,the sight of which Nero chartled his hwn compositions to an accompaniment -upon !t!s lyre - The ether Is the crnclflxion of Jesus Christ, bencnth whose dripping blood the soldiers snt and cast dice for Hla garments. In both incl dents the great event, full of world e!gn!fi cance, was. absolutely forgotten by those who groveled Ignobly In the consideration of less worthy things. Not less Ignoble Is the man who allows the desire for personal wealth or honor or power to become his ruling passion while he lives In a society In which principles of Justice, mercy and truth are yet to be wrought out and ap plied. May It come to pass In your genera tion that the full God-given power of 'e. deemed lives shall be brought to bear upod the questions which are disturbing the national, municipal and social life. Mo will you usher In the kingdom for which nine teen centuries have praved Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, In earth aa it Is in heaven. ( haotanqua Satate for Chapman. President John H. Chapman waa Intro duced as "the optJmlRt of .the, society." he was greeted by the fluttering of many handkerchiefs In a Chautauqua salute, and he responded With the same salute to his audience. His address waa of a denomina tional nature, dwelling on the spirit of the Baptist church and' Its power to do, and especially on the possibilities of the Baptist Young People's union. Since each conven tion has the key word,' he sMd, t was not out of place td. suggest ia. motto, and quoted for the convention' motto the word of the spirit to fcerubabbel. 'Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, salth the Lord of Hosts." Then he told some of the things that had been done by the church with the help ot .the spirit. There never was a time, he said,- wheji loyalty to the truth was aa necessary as now, when the nations ot the. earth are assuming new political relations to. each . other, and it Is the duty of the Baptist young people to be loyal to the truth. I'nlty of state Is an assured fact in America; the next thing ought to be the tinlty of purpose of Chris tian young men and women. . Program for Today.
