FIRST STATE CONVENTION BARAGA-PHILATHEA UNION (Coutinued from page three.) lathea Class." Just why results can not be secured in an unorganized class I shall not attempt to explain. The fact is the results are not se cured from an unorganized class. In my own class six men have joined the church in the last twelve months. If the pastor wants to get any work done in the church he goes to th, Barac c.is "There are two things you must appeal to in young men. They are Opride and'4 reponsibilit'7. Put the young men to doing something. Put them in harness and keep them there. Responsibility will niake young men work. The:1, young men who meet different Sunday school men at the' doors and ask them to come to Sun day school, young men showing in terest in young mien-this appeals to' the natural pride in young men, and does a great deal to keep the elass full of enthusiastic men." B-P CONFERENCES. Baraca Conference Led by Mr. Hud son.-Philathea Conference at Central Methodist Church. The Baraca conference at the Firzt Baptist church, led by Mr. Marshal A. Hudson, was4 where Mr. Hudson appeared at his best. It was infor mal. Mr. Hudson 's tendency is to be informal* and in this meeting he seemed to fade away from before one's eyes, and the spirit of God seemed to overshadow the man. AJ those who attended this meeting, and heard Mr. Hudson relate one exper ince after another of how the Holy Spirit had worked in and through .him as 'a brought men to iChrist, were visibly affected. The spirit of this great-man is so gentle and o sensL tive that it easily yields to the guid ance of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit sccmed to ha.ve complete con trol of Mr. Hudson's spirit, and' there is not the sligh.test indication of rebellion. The friendship between these two spirits seems to be as gen uinely real as the friendship which one can see in the natural life. It would be impossible to relate the sweet experiences of Mr. Hudson or to ,try to describe the man. The thing that all will remember about him is 'his humiliation of self and the ex altion of God and the Holy Spirit. At the same hour a Phil.athea con ferenee was conducted in 'Central Methodist church by Mrs. W. B. Ab bott, of Spartanburg, assisted by Mrs. W. H. Hunt and Miss Irene Lu cas. Mrs. Abbot.t is a charming talk er and an energetic worker, and withi the able assistants whom she had the I Philathea conference was a success in every detai.l. SUNSET PRAYER MEETING. Service Conducted on College Cam pus as the Shadows Lengthened--1 Large Attendance. 'The sunset prayer meeting on the -college campus was a beautiful meet ing and it was deeply spiritual. Mr. Neighbour, of ' Spar~tanFburg, had hbarge of this meeting. He conduct *ed all the praise and prayer servic es, and showed himself 'to be a man led of the Holy Spirit. Several hun dred delegates attended this meet ing, and many of the young men of' *the college came down to the meet .ing. After Mr. Neighbbour 'h'ad made a short, impressi.ve ta.lk on the gen er.a.l topic of winning men to Christ, Mr. Hudson made a short talk. Mr. *Neiahb:>ur made a very tender appeal to the collegze students to give their lives to Christ and become men win- I ners. SATURDAY EVENING. Model Class Demonstration By Mr. 1 ,Hudson.-Stirring Address By ' Dr. E. M. Poteat.1 'On SantpdJy evening in the opera1 hou.se, National President Hadson t 'demonstrated an the stage how a! b model Baraca class should be con-' il ducted. Of course the Baracas learn- la ed a great deal from this exereise. I e Bow could they help it when the E founder o.t the movement was before v I hem wLa twenty-one years of rich experiene?. After the class demonstration Dr. Poteat of i!urman University deliver" ed an address that thrilled his said ie::ee. Dr. E. M. Poteat spoke on the I subieet, ''Christ and Young Men.'' Below is an outline of Dr. Poteat 's address: ''I have been reading scripture les sons in thne. college chapel for several E weeks where Christ came face to face with young men. I have been point- c ing out the effects thes'e meetings had 'r on the young men of that day, and I lippose that is about the best thing can do here. The young men with wvhom Christ came in contact had a ine opinion of 'Him. Two of them said to Him, 'There goes the Lamb Yf God.' Jesus saw Nathaniel com ing, and he loved him. He said of aim, 'Behold an Israelite in whom therc is no guile.' This means crook dness or deceitfulness. T'his was a tine tribute to a young man. He was a splendid fellow, and Jesus loved him. Jesus also appealed to this same young man, and he said to Him, 'Thou art the Son of God.' "Peter and John and the other dis ciples were ale to make a living at the occupations at which they were at work when Jesus found them. Pet er and John were fishermen, and pos sibly could have made a living at that trade. They were making a living. They might have built up a large monopoly of the fish trade. They might have become immensely wealthy. But my! fishing was no fit occupation for the man who wrote 'In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God,' nor was fishing a fit oc cupation for the man who stood ip on the day of Pentecost and preach ed that great sermon to so many thousands. Matthew could have made a livng gathering taxes. He had al ready done so. He was a very wealthy man. But gathering taxes wvas no fit occupation for Matthew, mho became a kind of private seere ary to Christ. "There is a great revival sweeping >ver the country. Newspapers and nagazines are discussing religious opies. The Century for April has in editorial on religion. If yon i-aven,'t read this editorial you ought :o do so. "Religion is the supreme interest :o young men provided you set it be Core them in the right ways. Men re religious by nature. What means ill the great religious wars of the ast and the temples of men are :iot deeply concerned about religion. 'We must get ourselves in right -eltionship with present conditions. [t is not a region beyond the skies .ve should be concerned ajbout. We ding too many of those old hymns hat carry us away into a dream land, md away from the stern realities of ife. We can defy worlds if we get right now. T'here is a passion among oung men today to do things. We eed more hymns in our books that vill stir us to activity, and not lull as to a life of ease somewhere .be ond the skies. 'Chiist i the very thic;k of the fight said, 'Come unto ne -and I will give you rest,' but 'he rea::.t soul rest. There is work to :1 all round us. There is no time to ''Christianity may lose territory, )ut it never does lose leadership. We nust conquer the world to hold our >wn ground. What could China a.lone 10o if she were fully developed and educated along Western ideas? Four hndred million peloplei! All the ead of the Western world could 'be umped in.to her like into 'a sand yank, and she woulid never miss her >pulation. "Our religion must become- univer sal before it is fully known to. us.
