AT LOUISVILLE, JUNE 23
Addresses Made Before Many Hear
en at the International Sunday
School Convention Wai Heard
With Much Interest.
LOUISVILLE, June 2J.Tlie four
principal ipeakdra ut the Interna
tional Sunday School , Convention
today were Rev. J, A. McKany, C. R.
isluckall, Robert Johnson and Binhop
Bell, The Rev. Robert Johmon,. D.
D., the pastor of the American Pres
byterian , Church of Montreal, ipoke
at followi;
What has the Sabbath School to
do with a theme commonly regarded
as appropriate to national congresses
and to councils of mature minds?
Much; for the conception of the Sab
ath School as the nursery of the
Church only, has passed, and to-day
it is recognized as one of the might
iest educational forces in the religious
world. Not even to the pulpit will it
acknowledge inferiority as a force
moulding the nation's conception of
life and its purpose. Add to this fact,
aUo recognized, that the Sabbath
School has for its field of operation
life at its mot impressionable period,
and at a period when impressions are
most permanent, and it will not be
denied that the opportunity here af
forded for the cultivation of true con
ception of life in its social and cor
porate relationships Is surpassed.
An appeal to history will show that
not a few of the world's worthiest re
formers received in early youth those
convictions that afterwards became
the battle cry of great causes which
they championed. Today in the wave
of temperance, sentiment, sweeping
victoriously over our continent, we
have the climax, the cumulative force,
of quiet and unostentatious instruc
tion in temperance truth, imparted for
generation to a constituency of fif
teen millions who have to-day become
the voters in our lands.
High ideals of life for tiie nation as
for the individual are not to be re
garded as beyond either the compre
hension or the interest of our Sab
bath School constituency.
What is more profoundly affecting
our life as a people today than the
athletic crate which has gripped the
young manhood of our age? And
what could be more profoundly im
portant, and at the same . time of
greater interest to the youth of any
community, than right thinking con
cerning the relation which athletic
ism holds to life- In how many
schools is Saturday's baseball match
the theme of conversation as the
class gathers on the following after
noon! Can we teach these boys that
true Kiea'.ness is spiritual and not
physical? can we how up a spiritual
ideal that will prove a conquering
counter-attraction? To do this is
truly to serve our age. To-day, too

olythe cinderpath or the diamond. .
"The honors most sought after," a
Chicago professor assures us, "have
passed from the class-room to the
compus," and yet the age of the wfrld
that cherished such ideals as these,
the ngc whose heroes were men of
muscle, in which the physical was
worshipped and the spiritual slighted,
was an age that , by the cherishing of
such ideals, ripened itself for the
judgement of the Flood. This is the
great truth of anti-deluvian history.
The age from which but eight souls
were saved alive, was an age whose
standards of greatness were physical,
and for which the heroic was the mas
sive and the muscular. To save the
youth of our land from such ideals
of greatness is to serve the nation
and to serve our age.
What shall the Sabbath School
teach with regard to the war spirit of
today? For ages the conception of
national greatness has been that
which rests on the might of armies,
and upon success as at conquering
power. We are learning at last that
it is as true for the nation as for the
individual, that he who would be
greatest must be servant of all. The
throne is no longer the place to which
one is raised for adulation and honor,
it is now the vantage point from
which he may stoop to serve. ,"Ich
Dien" is the motto not alone of Brit
ain's heir-apparent, but of every ruler
of men worth the name.' Britain and
Aierica are great today among na-
fons, their rulers are" great in the
councils of kings, riot because of con
quest achieved, but because of service
rendered. The liberties they have won
they have passed on to others; their
strength they have used not for sel
fish aggrandizement but for the up
lifting of the oppressed, for the. pro
tection of the weak. '
The Sabbath School rightly ap-
predated li the mightiest Peace Con
gress ever convened. Silently but
surely It Is 1 building the one true
Temple of Peace in which the nations
shall yet gather to hang upon its
walls the war trumpet and the sword,
So to build in teaching that true great
nei for u nation, as for an individual,
is in service not. in conquest, in ser
vice of the strong for the weak, of
the free for the oppressed, is the high
privilege of the Sabbath School today
and how better, and where better,
can the cause of Mini who is the
Prince of Peace be served? How
more truly can be advanced that
Kingdom whose' sceptre is love, and
whoe throne is sacrifice?
THE BIBLE SCHOOL AND THE
PASTOR.
By Bishop Win. M. Bell, D. D., LL.
D. Bishop of the United Brethren
Church, Berkeley, Calif. President
of the California (N.) State S. S.
Association,
At the International S. S. Conven
tion, Louisville, Ky., Tuesday after
noon, June 23, 1908.
Touching redemption, ' salvation,
and all righteousness, the Bible is the
one dependable, satisfying, infallible
guide. In its complete message to the
soul of man it is the very sacrament
of God. For centuries it has been the
preacher's great text book. There has
been a high utility in such use of the
Book but it is the duty and function
of the Bible School to rescue the
Book from the results that have fol
lowed its being chiefly used as a text
book for sermons, , That Is the finest
type of preaching which leads the
people into the Book itself. The In
ternational, and kindred Bible School
Associations, stand for an unalterable
purpose to make the Bible not only
the text book of the preacher, but
the text book of the preacher's audi
ence. In other words, the Bible in its
matchless content must not only be
supreme on the pastor's desk, but it
must become the constant and popu
lar reading and reference book of all
the i-eople.
II. The Crcatest Book.
There are two imminent possibilit
ies in the future religious develop
ment of the ract. Either Bibical and
Evangelical Protestantism, or mod
ernized Romanism. Anything like a
general atheism is not a possibility
in the present state of development
The awakening of a commanding in
terest in, and use of, the Bible, is a
matter of strategic importance in this
generation. Effort at this point is a
direct contribution to the speedy
evangelization of the world. As to
mortality and character, every life
must begin at the beginning, Our
ssential need is redemption. In the
last a- nlysis the authority of Christ
is the authority of complete human
salvation. Christ is the only solution
of sin, character, and destiny. It is
eminently fitting that the whole
Christian world unite in the move
ment for placing this Book of the
great message on the brain and heart
of the present and coming genera
tion. ' '
II. The Greatest Book in its
School.
The growing use of the Bible
School as a method of Christian work
and worship is beyond all question
under the authority, inspiration, pro
vidence of Almighty God. We are
but half awake to the possibilities of
the Bible School. There are certain
requisites of a higher efficiency in the
Bible School that are most apparent
1. General and Individual Inspira
tion. The Imperative Demand for Deep
and Genuine Christian Experience.
3 The Personal Use of the Bible.
4 Training in Stewardship and
Proportionate Giving.
5 Thorough information as to
Home and Foreign Missions.
6 The Temper of Conquest and the
Passion of Achievement..
7 A Passion for Soul Winning.
8, Training for Participation in
the Remedial Movements for Social
and Civic Righteousness.-
9, In Protest against the Menace
of the Nation through the Lust of
Unscrupulous Commercialism.
10, For the Creation and Enforce
ment of Christian Definitions and
Government. :'10
. III. The Pastor with the Great
est Book in Its Great School.
The pastor of the Church is the
pastor of the Bible School and it is
his most fruitful and responsive par
ish. The duties of the pastor to the
Bible School are: , s
1. That he give it Complete Pas
toral Care and Service.
Teachers and Officers for Prayer and
Conference just before Each Session
rf the School. ' J'
3. That He hold s himself Respon
sible for Teacher Training Classes.
4. That He work Constantly and
Suitably in the Sunday Sessions.
, S. That He Fit Himself for Lead
ership in this Work at any Cost.
6. That He Promote .the Organi-
IN DGf T DRINK
Not Moral Scruple!, But Busi
ness Reasons, Is Why
IS ANSWER OF STATISTICS
Men Are Now Starting to Learn
That "Booze" end Business Will
Not Mix, and That it Does Not
Pay.
NEW YORK, June 23,-Economic
conditions or, in common parlance,
it docsn not pay," is the great under
lying factor in the anti-drink move
ment in the United States, according
to the forthcoming number of Ap
plcton's magazine, winch has taken
up an exhaustive study of reasons for
the suppression of the liquor traffic
in states and smaller communities all
over the country. According to the
results disclosed by this investigation,
the movement is neither moral nor
religious but finds its impetus in the
discovery of an increasing number of
men that they can succeed better if
they "cut out" drink and is the action
of employers similar to that recently
taken by the H. C. Frick Co., in
Pittsburg, in issuing orders against
drinking among, their workmen,
purely from consideration of labor
efficiency.
Elaborate statistics gathered by
Appleton's from government sources,
the inside records of life insurance
companies and from investigations
conducted among various professions
and lines of business, show that the
consumption of alcohol is being re
duced in this country: particularly
among the higher and more intelli
gent classes not because of any
greater moral scruples against drink,
but because men are coming to the
opinion that they can accomplish
more work, can make more money, if
they drink alcohol sparingly or not
at all. As an illustration of this is
cited the decrease in the per capita
two and one-half gallons in 1840 to
less than one gallon ,at present, while
the consumption of malt liquors, con
taining relatively little alcohol, has
increased to the astonishing amount
of twenty-one gallons a year for each
person. In other words, hard drink
ing is being given up by more and
more men, not because it is drinking
bnt because it is a matter of dollars
and cents to them.
The result of an actuarial inquiry
in Great Britain are given to show
that the elimination of the excessive
consumption of alcohol in that coun
try would increase its labor output by
more than $2,000,000,000 a year, while
a simitar study of statistics in the
United States indicates an increased
productivity for the abstaining man
as compared with the user of large
quantities of alcoholic stimulants of
nearly 50 per cent. That is, other
things being equal, the man who
"cuts out" the alcohol may reason
ably expect when he dies to be worth
twice as much as the heavy drinker.
Another inquiry among more than
6,000 employers showed that thirty
one out of thirty-two classified sets
of replies gave reasons for forbidding
or discouraging the use of alcohol
among their employes on economic
grounds a better quality of work,
fewer accidents, and so on.
As a result of these figures the con
clusion is drawn that the reason for
the present anti-drink movement, as
contrasted to former prohibition
waves or temperance crusades, de
pends upon the answer to the great
American question, "Does it pay?"
zation of Great Classes for Men.

tial Life and Body his School and
Church Membership.
8. That He Energetically Co-operate
in the Organization Inter-denominational
Bible School Work.
GENERAL WRIGHTS PLANS
MEMPHIS, Tenn., June 23-Gen
Luke E. Wright will leave Thursday
for Washington.General Wright had
little to say regarding his plans after
his assumption of the secretaryship
but said that existing arrangements
in the war departments would be dis
turbed little. He said: v
"1 am only going in for a few
months until March 4." ,
Don't you expect then to , be re
tained in Mr. Taft's cabinet if he
should be elected?" he was asked.
'I don't anticipate anything," was
the reply with a smile.
TRAIN FLOATED
Flood Catches Coaches. And Carries
Them Almost A Mile From Track.
CHICAGO, June 2.1.-A despatch-'
to the Tribune, from Fcnnimore, Wis
says::. -" ,
Caught into the surging sea waters
which inundated Southwestern Wis
consin Sunday night, two coaches or
a train on the narrow gauge line be

ed frantically to save their lives. The
engine had been uncoupled when the
storm broke and run a few hundred
yards ahead Six feet of water was
then encountered and the engineer
and fireman were forced to the roof
of the cab where they spent the night.
The baggage car remained with the
coaches until the latter swung against
a telegraph pole and came to rest.
The baggage car then tipped over.
The three men inside escaped by
opening the door and swimming out.
They clambered onto the side of
the car and perched there through
the night.

AN UGLY RUMOR
That the Sultan of Morocca Has
Been Assassinated
PARIS, June 23. It is persistently
rumored in the parlimentary lobby
that Abd El Aziz, Sultan of Morocco,
has been assassinated at Rabat
There is no confirmation of the ru
mor at the foreign office and the min
istry oi the interior regards the re
port as absolutely untrue. Inquire
which have been made by govern
ment officials have' failed to elicit
anything to justify the rumor.
EXCESS RATES REDUCED.
On The Southern Pacific Will Be Cut
Down One Half
SAN FRANCISCO, June 23.
Rates on excess haggage ' on the
Southern Pacific will be cut down one
half July 1. This announcement has
been made by company officials. At
present the rule is to charge the trav
eler one cent for every 100 pounds of
excess baggage. But with July first

passenger fare for the trip, one-half of
one cent a mile for each 100 pounds
of excess baggage.

players died : ytsterd -v at his home
h"re. For many years sines his re-

the crack team of the country.
THE COURSING SPORT
SALT LAKE CITY, June 23.
Coursing will become a sport that
the most tender hearted can approve
if the plans of a Salt Lake Syndicate
are carried out. A substitute for the
live rabbits used in contests of this
character has been perfected. It is a
stuffed bunny which runs the length
of, the field on an underground trolley
finally to disappear through a hole
like the ordinary escape. The slot
used is so narrow that it will no'
embarrass the running grey hounds
and the speed of the rabbit can be
regulated at will.
Stomach Troubles. ;
Many remarkable cures of stomach
troubles have been effected by Cham
berlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets.
One man who had spent over two
