president of the association Introdue
? d Judge Joseph Carthel, who spoke
on The Tall to Power.1'
Judge Carthe! made a very interest?
ing talk, showing that, whoever Cod
?iiLed to teach or preach wag given
the power fn?m Bad to d? that wuik
ft?r which lie died. It. pomti d
? ?Ht the fai t in his address that it was
in1 >st often those trained in the Sun?
day school who were called for the
work, although at all times <;<>d was
ready to use any who was willing to
give hin life for God's scrvl- e. The
new life of Mervlce always bore fruit,
because God wan with the work and
whatever he did prospered The
worker, has power because ol the na?
ture of the work. The tea. lo r can
ig more work and better work than
the preacher because he Is nearer to
the Idlvldual than is the preacher.
Kncouragement And not faultfinding,
he stated, will generally accomplish
more in the end.
The Sundnv School and the Great
Commission" aus the subject of Dr.
J Henrv Harm s address. He opened
his remarks b\ stating that all com?
missions wars based on facts and be?
cause of the facts attendant upon this
feature, the greatest work of the
Christian Church- today was the
work of mls*!on-c There are many, he
stated, sll over the world who have
. not heard <>t the chun h. The dis
? iples of Jesus have not heard that
great command to go out into the
world and preach the gospel to all na?
tions. It wus true thut much had
been done, but there was still a great
work to be done. The church was
marking time Just now and hud been
for the past ten years. It should be
mar? hing onwald spreading the gos?
pel and the name of Christ. The work
of missions was the greatest in th?
world. It was the work of tin- wind,
i bur. h ami it should begin in the Sun
day school room "Old we realise.''
the speaker said, "that of every two
persona born, one looked into the fact
of a heathen mother; of every two
marriage < eiemonles performed, one
was made before a heathen priest;
of every two persons who worshipped,
one worshipped at the foot of a heath?
en God."
"The Sunday School is not the
church of the past, it is not a part of
the Church gf today, "said the speak?
er, "It Is the whole church of to?
day." "The best way to study the
Hihjp is t., go .nit and do w hat it says."
Thin Mise Is taught in the Sunday
Jsrhoel. "The true conception of the
Sunday S< I.I is the Church .?.t work
training the vouths for service n the
extension of God's Kingdom.' said
I ?r Hurms. "Then if this be
true, the subpect of missions has a
place in the Sunday school and In
Ihem should be taught the nOCCOBity
i of sending out w.e liible and the Gos
pt I to the whole world." The neces?
sity* for this must be aroused In the
Sundas esJsSjSjt, Foreign missions was
the most entrancing of any life story
or the prewent day. no man could learn
t o< modern mission, in the foreign
ge)elds without being aroused There?
fore he stated, this subject must be
brought to the attention <?f tue voting
, men und women and It would not fall
to arouse their Interest and attention.
U A.II should lend their uld In bringing
Ab,oit the coming of the nulbnlam,
and all should therefore be ready to
Sid bv work and giving for the spread?
ing of the Kingdom. Jesus Christ had
pared the way. and where he led we
should dare to follow.

In bringing about these changes there
Were three essentials. Class <>rgunixa
Hesj Mhse Bteatj and Fussily Worship
Formerly at Sunday Schools there
were no adult classes, now clashes of

a man was not a tr ie man unless he

Clean-l'p Day.
DAYTON APPEALS VOIX MOIU:
AID.
Situation in Stricken Cltj Continue*
Serious.
Dayton. Ohio, April I.?"Dayton Is
racing one of the gravest problems
thai any city of the world over faced,
and we want the world to know we
need money and food for our strick
en people," said .John H. Patterson,
president of tin* relief committee, to?
night alter he returned In company
with H. F. Talbott, chief engineer,
from a tour of the sections of Day
ton swept by the Mood last Week.
In speaking of a tentative plan to
ask tin- Federal Government for a
loan of from $ jo,ami,(inn to $ .|imio.i,
,000, to he used in reconstruction work.
Ar. Patterson said:
"At a meeting of hankers and offi
:lals of the building associations this
evening, it was decld? d to make un
ippeal tor Federal aid. The banks
and building associations have $60,
000,000 wauth of assets, which they
will put up as collateral. It may be
leerned advisable to ask the Govern?
ment to give us some financial assist?
ance. We fe.d that the disaster is an
emergency which would justify extra
ordinary action on the part of Con?
gress."
Since Sunday more than $750,000 in
ash has been received from banks
in Cincinnati to replace damaged
money i.^ local banks', which will re?
main clos. I until April 8.
in response t?? a telegram from Gov?
ernor Cox, Mr. Patterson will go to
Columbui tomorrow to confer with
Miss Mabel Bonrdman, of the Amerl
an lie.i Cross ami the Governor, -Mi"
Talbott tonight estimated that the
property loss in Montgomery County
would reach at least $150,000,000. He
declared that one manufacturing com?
pany alone had lost half a million
dollars.
Although several carloads of provis?
ions were received today officials in
barge of relief work stated that the
I food Situation was a matter of grave
Concern. More refugees have applied
for assistance.
"We must have rations for more
than loii.odn people for an Indefinite
p.-riod," Mr. Patterson declared.
Four bodies were taken from tin
debris by workmen today, bringing
the tidal number of bodies recovered
up to 192, according to the coroner's
estimate.
MANY STILL UNDER DEBRIS.
Work of Recovering Bodies in Co?
iiimhii.K Progresses slowly.
v oiumbus, <>hio, April 1.?All that
human effort . oubi accomplish today
failed to p.-n.-trate the part of the de?
bris piled in tin- west side, where it is
believed many of the bo.li.-s of p. r
sons missing since the Hood of March
25 finally will be recovered. As mat?
ters stood tonight, however, eight more
bodies had passed through the
morgues, running the total of dead in
that section up to 71. in addition to
this number was the body of Janu s M.
Kearney, a merchant, who was drow n?
ed several months ago and which, cast
Up by the Hood, was found lodged in
a tic- when the waters had receded..
That many other bodies will be re?
covered, after the army of men em?
ployed in the work has attacked the
great pile of debris made at several
points by wrecked homes, is generally
conceded. Just how many will not
la' known for some days. The prop?
erty damage in Columbus, like the
death toll, is confined principally to
the west side, tin- business and man?
ufacturing district having gone al?
most unscathed.
Tb?- tricks and pranks of tin- small
b.-vs on April's fool day seemed to be
about as numerous and of the same
, order ...^ have been practised on their
j unsuspecting elders and fellows dur
| Ing years past.

while waiting for another train he

' Well," In- said when he hid been In?
