The first session of the great re- this work was shown to be the Adult llglout parliament being held in this'lJible Claps Instituted under this city under direction of the General Confercnie ConimlsHlon on Finance of the Methodist church, met Wed nesday afternoon with liUtiop R. J. Cooke of Portland presiding. Prac tically all of the speakers for the par liament were present, and were In troduced to the delegates and visit ors by Illshop Cooke before the regu lar program was taken up. I The Stewardship of Prayer. Rev. Harvey R. Calkins was the first speaker of tho day and gave a most Interesting and thoughtful talk on "The Stewardship of Prayer," wherein he showed the absolute ne cessity of honeHty of purpose and faith In the prayer offered, showing that ever since man has In the least progressed towards civilization be has offered prayer to the power be deem ed omnipotent, and always In the most fervent way possible for him; that In the most remote lands, as In dia, in the depths of Asia, and In the Buddhist and Mohammedan worlds, the religious devotees have always showed the greatest faith In their prayers and have regarded them as Indispensable to their common life. Mr. Culklns then emphasized tne fact that Jesus Christ did not teach his disciples to pruy, but rather that He taught them how to pray, teaching them, and through them all followers to come, that In prayer tho thoughts must bo the urtual beliefs and faith offered. Parliiiineiil World-wide in Scope. Rev. Henry J. Coker next gave a brief review of the parliament aud Us general purpoae, bringing out the fait that tho meeting la not being held for nny especial local benefit, but that the fundamental Idea under lying tho congress Is world-wide In its scope, and that all the great in stitutions for the furtherance of Methodism over the world are repre sented In this meeting. Hiintlu) HcIiooIm Are. DIw iinmI. Dr. Walton Sklpworth, one time pastor of tho Ashland Methodist church, now of tho board of Sunday schools, talked on tho topic, "The Sunday School and Its Present Day Opportunities," showing the neglect ed Mate of the Sunday school pre vious to the establishment of the board having them In charge, and then tracing tho wonderful develop ment made In this work since that time. Ho brought out the fact that in !!0K nearly nil the Sunday schools In the United Htates wore either sta tionary, or showed a decrease In membership, and then explaining the j A. N. Fisher of the board of foreign missions, who gave a very instruc- board of Sunday schools. Rev. Skip- tive talk on the work and hopes of worth pointed out that these classes this great branch of the church, for the study of the bible have drawn ; Miss Bertha Fowler, of the Wo tnany to the help of the Sunday man's Home Mission society, told of sc hool who might not otherwise have be work that great institution is been brought to this work, and have doing In mission work In our own eventually been great facters In the country. The scope of this body can broadening of tho system. He stat- be more easly seen when It is known ert that there are now more than 7,- that the organization numbers some 000 organized Adult Rlble Classes In I 2,000,000 members and owns over the work, numbering more than 200,-! $3,000,000 In property. The purpose 000 members. In closing, the great; of this organization, as set forth, Is growth of this week was roncretely j to strike at the root of social evil shown, the membership of the Sun-and degradation by working directly day schools today being 900,000, an j through the home, and thus indirect Increase of 800,000 over the mem-lly influencing the outside life of the while theso children are working by tho millions In the soul and body grinding work of tho great industrial enterprises of today. Tho greater good is to be done by legislation, but, the work that may be done by the Sunday schools in helping r"al8e the moral standards of our great cities Is so great thnt nil possible help should be given. It was announced that Uev. C. T. Wilson, who was to have delivered a talk on the topic, "The Church and Saloon," will not be present, but thnt this topic will be taken up at a later date by Bishop W. O. Shepard, of KansnB City, president of the Church Temperance Society. Thursday .Morning Session. The morning platform ttegslon of method of building up, arrived at his the parliament, following the Bepar- rllmnx In the statement of tho enorm- ato Institutes, was tnken up with Dr. bershlp when the hoard of Sunday school took up the furtherance of this branch of the church work. PI' ii for I lie Neglected Child. In the absence of the other speak ers announced for tbe afternoon, Rev. Henry J. Coke gave a very earn est aud telling talk, taking as bis topic, "The Cry of the Neglected Child." Dr. Coke spoke very force fully on this great social problem of toiluy, and said that a great deal may be done In righting the present con ditions by giving the children a chance to help themselves through learning better ways of living and thinking. It was shown that the great part of the physical and nien tul ruin and moral depravity In adults of the lower conditions of modem life are liie,iot to any In- K. ........ ,.n t.l t.

Bishop Cooke spoke next on the Freedman's Aid society, tbe Institu tion which has done so much and is still such an Important factor In the moral and mental welfare of the ne gro. Bishop Cooke ministered for forty years among the negroes In the south, and in that time has certainly become well posted as to their needs. He pictured the helpless and depend ent condition of the black man at the time of the emancipation and traced the remarkable development since then In the education of the negro and their Industrial advance. It was shown that the negro has penetrated Into every profession and is a great factor in the agriculture In the south. This progress was then shown to be the direct result of the work done by church In the south, mainly since the war and especially through per care were given to tho develop- medium of the Freedman's Aid ment of theso phnses of the Individ-;B0''et)r- unl, the greatest social problem of' Conditions In Mexico, today would bo well under way to a Dr. Hancher followed this with a solution.

Sin same manner as our negroes nearly BO years ago, but skowed that the Mexicans are still In a low state, hav ing shown no great tendency to ad vance. Dr. Hancher then brought out the fact that this Is directly due to the difference in the religious In fluence given them. While the In fluences of the American church make for great liberty and freedom, thoso of the Mexican branch of the Christian church hinder and make for a sort of bondage. Wednesday livening Session, With Uev. Henry J. Coker presid ing, the evening session of the flrBt day's parliament of the Methodist church was opened by brief addresses of welcome to the city by Rev. Jef frey, of tho Methodist church, Rev. Teel, of tho Christian, Rev. MacAl llster, of the Presbyterian, and Rev. Wlglitman, of the South Methodist church. Mayor Smith followed this with a speech of welcome. The regular program was then be gun, the; first address taking up "The ; Laymen's Missionary Movement, wherein Rev. Fred B. Fisher, of New i York City, showed the power for good that Is being done in mission ary work by the united efforts of tho laymen In giving aid. Bishop Cooke took up a further outline of the work that has' been done In this line, ami showed that far more good work yet remains to be done In this line. lYtiiliiiiia incubators from up to J3 2. ,10 at Cramer Bros.
