Farm Problems Lead "We have heard much of thf farm nroblems within recent years." aald the speaker. "It is still one of the Important interests of government, and win always be. One reason for this la to be found In the fact that all of ua directly or Indirectly, depend on the producta of the lonn lor in physical elements that go to sus tain life. "We are told In the word of God," he continued, "that we are ourselves the farming of God. In the aoll of our personality God plants spiritual seeds.

Related to AU Problems "This Is the problem of human husbandry,'.' he concluded, "and one which la very Intimately re lated to all the other problems of our modem world. We must, If we are to deal with Intelligently with other grave problems, give more attention to this funda mental Queatlon, and we must labor everlastingly to make God resident In the life of this world. This Is the function ot the church and Its various agencies. It Is our task." One of the highlights ot Wed nesday's conference sessions was the closing talk ot the morning presented by Bishop Titus Lowe resident bishop ot the Oregon conference, and presiding officer. "The Lure and Strength ot Yesterday," waa the text of the bishop's address. "The lure of yesterday often Umea provee a snare aa well," said the speaker, "when students become lost in a mate of histori cal toresta and forget to emerge Into the present Outgrowth ot Old Ideas "But it Is worse to cut one's self oft from yesterday, and to presume that the world begins to day," he declared. Bishop Lowe declared that the concepta which now dominate the world are the outgrowth of Ideas born In the past, and the continu ity of life's stream poura from centuries gone by. Strength ot the concept ot a personal God, and the Inheritance of prayer were named as out standing gifts of yesterday by the bishop. "What value ts yesterday to the church of God?" asked Bishop Lowe in dosing. "Put together i the glory, Inspiration and auccesa of days gone by, evaluate them and turn them Into power for today to lighten dreams of the days to come." The morning's sessions closed with a prayer by Bishop Frederick T. Keeney and pronouncing of the benediction by Bishop Lowe. English Outlines Problems Dr. Merle M.

"Our problem la not a problem of the boy and girl," he de clared, "hut of the mother and father. Not a problem of Juve nile delinquency but of adult de linquency." No longer, said Dr. English, la It poaslble to order a child to attend Sunday school and church If ita parenta fail to attend, and the problem of the church la to provide Interest and a close touch on life to Inspire a desire to at tend church and Sunday achool. Place In Peace Program "The Sunday school Is defi nitely as worth while in its field as the day achool In lta field," aid Dr. Euglish, "and ita mis sion a far greater one." The educator spoke of the place of Methodism In the world program for peace, and predicted even a greater work for the church along these lines.

Mr. Orr aald In his welcoming speech, "We are pray ing that your visit to this com munity will be a benediction to every church, and we hope that your conference will light a fire which will not go out when yon are gone. Lowe Expresses Appreciation Bishop Lowe expressed the ap preciation of the conference for hospitality extended by the host ess enurcn ana the community to the visitors, and said that he had felt at first some trepidation about holding the conference so close to California's land ot sun shine. "California Is a land of ntl- ferers," said the bishop, "and I was afraid that some of our ministers might be stolen awar from Oregon. "Anyway," said Bishop Lowe. "If California steals Crater lake again, the people of Oregon should annex Mt. Shasta for their own."
