The, W estern As~oci;8tioD By the ~se of tete-, Has a Good Beginning , phones' the people

'. of neighboring churches had been informed of the change from Independence to And­over, so when the tinie came for opening the association a good size~ audience was· in waiting. Most of the people· in this first session came ,from Alfred and Indepen-dence.

,Pastor John F. Randolph of the Friend~ ship church was moderator, and the musical director, Miss Ruth Phillips, was already at the organ when the call to order came." Rev, Loyal Hurley took charge of the devotions

'and with the songs: "Majestic-Sweetness sits enthroned upon the Savior's brow", followed by, ~'I tieed Thee every hour", a most fitting . preparation was_ made for the services to follow.

After the prayer by Brother Hurley came' the old familiar hymn: "He leadeth me". This. took us back in memo.ry more than fifty years when'this church was young, and th~se old ,songs, led. by Clara Livermore,' were sun~ with a fervency of spirit common to. a newly organized church with a hopef~l ,out-

Rev. Loyal Hurley spoke of the Central Asso.ciation at Adams Center, the Centennial celebration held in' co.nnect~onwith the other work, and of the ordination' of Bro.ther, Klotzbach.

Rev. Edgar D. Van' Horn.brought'words . of good cheer from the "great Northwest". He spoke of the interest in Sabbath Reform in 'Michigan, and the widespread interest in Milton College throughout the entire asso-: ,dation.

Secretary Shaw represented the South-', western Association and the Tract Boar<f

, and Missionary Board~ , , ',.. . After these messageS Miss Mary W e11~ .'. "

and Mis~ Ruth Phillips, sang the following appropriate hymn: '

'Lord, for tomorrow and its needs, . . I do no~ pray;, : '

Keep me, my God, from: stain of sin , Just for today.

He-lp me to labor earnestly And duly pray;

,Let me, be. kind in word or deed, Father today,

'. Let me n~~rong or idle word 1 unthinking say:'

look. " ,The voices of those we knew, so long ago

have long.... been silent;: but with the new voices singing this favorite song tonight it sounds just as sweet as' ever. Still they sing, with the same trustful spirit shown by their ' fathers and mothers: "Lord· I wo.uld clasp' thy hand' in mine", and still our hearts are touched· by the wo.r~s: ' '

,Set thou a seal -upon,my lips Through all today; .. ,

Let me in season, Lord, .,be graye, .. In season gay;

Let me be. faithful to Thy grace, Dear Lord 'today.

"

And if today this life of mine " . Should ebb away,

. Give me to know thy life divine, Fa ther; today;

, So for tomorrow' and its needs, "And when my task on_ earth is done, When' by thY" grace the'vicfry's won, E'en death's cold wave I will not flee, Since God through J ordati leadeth me.'"

l

The messages from delegates, were given the right of way and after their words were spoken, they were all invited to. a place in this convention with freedom to. participate

'. in aU 'deliberations. " ' Rev. Paul' Burdick, from the Eastern

Association told, of 1;he excellen't revival work hi Shiloh, and Hopkinto.n, and of the goo.d meetings in Berlin last. ",eek, where one-deacon and two deaconesses were or-dained. -' (

The'spirit 0,£ loyalty manifested in' the dis .. . cussio~s' of this hour was'mo~t cheering. We WIsh' every Seventh Day Baptist could hear. the words of .loyal speakers pleading for more con~ecrated devotion to the Mas .. ter's work,- and for truer allegiance to the leade'rs upon whom we have placed great responsibilities. .' . . There was revealed a .strong conviction

. that the . .outlook could be made· much hrighte'r if all our ministers could have a week or ten days. together in a prayerful'" get-t?gether council, to consult upon the dis­tracttng problems that confront us. . It was ~pparent that \a wide-spread feel­Ing prevaIls to the effect that it would be almost a death blow to opr cause' for us to let the Forward ·Movement fail and so to allow the work to collapse~ , I

The debts. of the boards, with only forty­seven per cent of our budget .realized thus far for the third year.,of our Forward Move­ment, and the last week of the 'Conference year at hand, caused much concern.

Satisfacti?n was ~xpressed over the prog­r~ss mad.e.!n erecttng the new denomina­tIonal butldlng. ." .

The question: What of the future ? as to better organization for efficient work was asked; and the feeling seemed to be-that some simplification of ,organization was' needed. \

I f the serious problems, such as we never met before, are settled' and settled right,

.we mt~st get together and keep . together. There IS no other way to go forward. Why can't we have such a' council of all our ministers? 'in a' slip-shod way. We must all work in

.... ~ IIi the Education' Society's hour, on Sab­bath afternoon, President, Davis said that

.' the average of college stlldents in the United • States is on~ to every two hundred and ~elve persqns. The per~entage is' much

· larger In. the north than in the south. " Among Seventh Day Baptists the ratiQ of

. college stude~ts is one to every sixty-six. i, .

Rev. Ahva J. C. Bot;td spoke of "Th~ · land th~t. w~s overlooked", as represented in 'ru;t ~hIblt he had seen of lands' along the BaltImore and Ohio Railroad. . :

While the ,deficits of Salem College are ,practically provided for, there is still a debt ' · of $13,000 on the last large building~

A CAsE 'OF PSYCHOPATHOLOGY O~ page 800 of the RECORDER for June

19, I922, first column, in the concluding 'part of Study VI, The Book of BOOKS, the third paragraph should be left, out. .

MY'interest in the Biblical references to ~ the two famous battle scenes, Megiddo and . : Carchemjsh, caused· me to' overlook im­portant 'differences in dates and results.,

Of the two battles mentioned in 2 Chron~ ides 3S: 20-24 that of Megiddo was foug4t about 608 B. C., and of Carchemish about 605. The latte,r was a turning point in the history_ of Babylon and of the world. Egypt experienc€d a crushing defeat; the.

, Assyrian empire fell to Babylon; which also drove Egyp~back from the :E:uphrates to the brook of -Egyp( (2 Kings 24:·7).

An expert in Psychic Mechanism might try to . account for my mistake; but at any rate I am indebted to Pastor W. D. Tick- . nor,- of Jackson Center; Ohio, for .~l1ing attention to my inaccuracy. ,I hope he will live long to· exercise "his critical eye and

. mind. 'Such help is welconied~·· . ' . . ." . .ARTHUR.· E. MAIN •.

Are you and I, willing to t,ke our share of hardship with Jesus Christ? I ask that, question; I put it to myself every day. Am I a soldier of the Cross? Am I ~ follower of the Lamb? Am I going through the- _ drill, or am I part of the army? Am ~ I walking around the parade ground, or am I, on the battlefield? Am lone of' the ... militia that likes \f:he u~forms and the

SUMMER SONG Go. forth, my heart, nor linger helie, In this swe'et seas()n of the year,

When God his gifts dispenses; . See how the gardens in their-- best . Fot you and me are gayly drest,

And ravish all the senses!

I may not and I. can not rest-, God's goodness wakens in my breast

SU,ch gratitude and pleasure'; I, too, must bear a grateful part, And pour out praise from my poor heart

In overfto~ing . ine,,:sure.

. The brooks are purling through the sand, On either side myrtles stand, . And fling a cooling shadow; The cow-'herd and his flock hard by. With tinkling bells and merry cry , Move slowly o'er the me'adow.

Methinks if God so gracious be, 'And deals e'en' here so lovingly

,With us poor, erring mortals, How glorious must the mansions be, . Where. we shall dwell eternally . W~thin his golden portals~
