Barrington Parrish Mgr Stockbridge Chas Hall Mgr Lenox Newton Mgr Avery chs pel in hnVft a mated that there rrv throiU publishing editorial policy and referred to Dr Sydney A Weston who now holds that office in terms of the highest praise as had Dr Sheldon Mr Crockett then compared the present financial status of the society with its former condition when it had a deficit of $65000 A deficit of $30 000 still remains but there is every indication that this will soon be re moved and a start begun on a sinking fund But to insure the continued prosperity of the society the church i throughout the country must support It Dr rank Sheldon secretary of the Congregational Educational so ciety then addressed the meeting on the Church Rev Dr rank Address Qn the Church one problem'of the church is can sire dare she will she be Chris With this striking statement Dr rank Al Sheldon began his re port today to the Congregational Edu cation society at its annual meet ing program of the education he went on to say to do primarily with the task of the church becoming Christian We stress curriculum organization method equipment but always aS means as aids to Christian personality in its impact upon growing youth We know the strategic importance of work with plastic imitative impressionable moldable youth but we also know that religious education does not g6 for ward In a vacuum It is a social pro cess It takes place in a real world We know that every place where our youth rub elbows with other youth or with adults they are being educated that persons and personal influences are supremely important that re ligious education Is not a matter of an hour on Sunday the influence and teaching of which may be nullified by attitudes and atmospheres in home play school social business political racial and national life through the week And because we know that Christian ideas and Ideals taught on Sunday must be worked out in groups and personal relationships in all walks of life during the seven day week we 1 must now insist not only upon the I strategic opportunity in work with youth but we must equally insist upon such work with adults through pulpit and through study groups we will bring home to them with irresist ible force the fact that they can and they must be different The program of the education society has to do with training our own people in Christian life in Christian service and for Christian leadership it has to do with the church becoming Christian is nuttinff nrimarv emphasis leadership That means deeper Chris tian experiences issuing in a new and more contagious passion for the king dom of God Our program seeks to help the minister in his task of de veloping this local leadership and in a program of religious education which 1 literally faces up to the whole of life Study courses training courses or ganization equipment new methods have a vital place out iney ate to facilitate the work of Chris tian leaders By a department of missionary education which seeks to develop the kind of Christians who care and who share and who know the opportunities and needs in mission fields Today there is no reason for any church be ing without such a program if it de sires one "(3) By a department of social edu cation and adult work Unexpressed Christianity is useless Christianity which stops at the ftoor of the count ing house is content to leave the ma jor portion of our world pagan It can never build a kingdom of God We need a new faith in the ethics of Jesus By a student and young peo department which seeks to hold and make vitally Christian our youth during those years when so many of them are lost to the church and the service of any cheap for quack program all needs Touring Car Deserted While Afire Had Been Stolen North Adams Oct The Cadillac touring car that was abandoned by two strangers the night of September 30 on Union street and which has since been awaiting a claimant has been identified as a stolen car the property of IL Lappan of 230 State street Schenectady Word was received by the local police today that Lappan will come to the city tomor row to claim his car The men who brought it to this city September 30 were seen by Patrolman Howard Gay trying to put out a fire that started under the hood Gay started to go to their assistance but the men fled and have not since been seen in North Adams AUTO CASE DROPPED affirmed the historical fact that Con gregationalism has always placed its chief reliance upon Christian nurture in recruiting souls He stated that the value of Retrained faculty of 75000 Sunday school teachers could not be overestimated He mentioned the great influence for spiritual education that student pastors possess and re gretted the fact that few young men of first rate ability are offering them selves for the ministry Dr Horace Holton of Brockton closed the meeting with prayer and Dr Brown declared it adjourned until next flunk line management with whom New England interests are necessarily Also it was very suggestive to hear Henry Atwili chairman of the Massachusetts department of public utilities tell how years ago the pro moters of the Hoosac tunnel declared the tunnel would make Boston the greatest port on the coast and how the Legislature at the time of the Boston Albany lease were greatly influenced by the claim of New York Central that 4 hey would make the port of Boston a rival of New Yoik and then how we now are assured that if the New York Central gets the Maine Central it will make Portland a very great port It was distinctly also a high light when rank Davis of the Maritime association of Boston Chamber of Commerce submitted the documents to substantiate his evidence as to the exertions he had to make and the begging he had to do to induce trunk lines to send grain for export through the port of Boston inally it was suggestive that in the testimony of Philip Dexter dis senting Massachusetts member of the Storrow committee who favors the trunk lines we find these statements: 1 trunk line consolidation it Is a valid objection that the management could destroy necessary privileges en 1 joyed by the merchants and manu iacturers of New England Also: should consider it very objectionable to any trunk lino planfif it closed any gateway now open to plendid public water fire up Main street cemetery Mrs Van Deu sen lived

November Lown received a number handsome and appropriate gifts the kingdom We prescription All such are medicines We a No one program will meet But we have suggestions and helps for all churches which care seriously7 to develop local leaders to draw ourt the resources of the young people themselves In making their own program and to enlist their splendid energies in service We are gathering them in week end groups and in summer conferences in district association and state conference ral lies for intensive work and to give them a new sense of the church and their opportunity for service in it

property7 and equipment over $15000000 of endow ment over $1500000 annual budget and they half as much as they should have But for as many stu dents in three universities we tlie national society state conferences and local churches together were able to spend the magnificent sum of $9a00 Seventy three per cent of the names in Who represent college and university graduates At least half the important positions of leadership in the United States are held by col lege and university graduates Yet but 2 per cent of the people go through college or university There they are leaders of

ment with its district secretaries we attempt to bring this program to the offices are at the service of leaders and service than we can render A7 should have additional Then after referring to the

not know but cut it we must when we should increase it The task you have assigned to this society is fundamental to the larger life and service of our churches and it is even more fundamental to the
