At the Evangelistic Conference held at Montreat, August 12 to 15, under the direction of the Executive Committee of our Church every synod was rep A tocincu CA^cpi UUC auu UIUIC Luau seventy pastors were present. The conference wgs opened with a sermon by Rev. J. Ernest Thacker on "The Church, Her Complaint and its Cure," showing that the membership of the Church is lacking in Christ-likeness and coming short in the great work of the world's evangelization, and that the cure can be found, (1) By greater consecration on the part of pulpit and pew, (2) By a greater spirit of self-sacrifice, (3) and a recognlzation of personal responsibility. This was followed the next morning with a splendid address on "The Scriptural Evangelist, the Need fnr him and hla Work." In the afternoon there were two inspiring addresses, one by Rev. Thornton Whaling, D.D., on "The Evangelistic Church," and the other by Rev. J.. M. Wells, D.D., on "The Opportunity and the Outlook." At night Rev. A. A. McCeachy, D. D., delivered an address on The Evangelist's Message, the Word of Qod as the Power of Salvation for the sinner and Sanctiflcation for the Christian. On the morning of Aug. 14, there was an interesting open conference on "Evangelistic Methods," led by Rev. J. Ernest Thacker, and at the Sunday evening service Dr. Chas R. Nisbet, chairman of the committee, delivered a most instructive and inspiring address on, "Why Our Church Should Take An Active Part in This Great Work." Much enthusiasm is manifested in the inauguration of this new and needed movement In our Church and it is clearly seen that it will help every department of our Church work. The purposes of the work are the quickening of Qod's people and the salvation of souls. Every revived Christian prays more earnestly, works more consecratedly, gives more liberally; and every soul saved is another prayer, worker, contributor in every branch of our Assembly work. The committee has reauested everv church in tbe Assembly to set aside Wednesday evening, Oct. 13, as a special service for tbe consideration of and prayer for tbe Assembly's Evangelistic Work, and it la earnestly boped tbat every pastor will comply wltb the request and lead his people in such a service.

A Boston woman who is a fond mother ivrttes an amusing article about her experience feeding her boys. Among other things she says: "Three :hubby, rosy-cheeked boys, Bob, Jack and Dick, aged 6, 4 and 2 years, respectively, ire three of our reasons for using and -ecommending the food Grape-Nuts for hese youngsters have been fed on GrapeMuts since infancy, and often between neals when other children would have jeen given candy. "I gave a package of Grape-Nuts to a leighbor whose 3 year old child was a veazened liftle thing, ill half the time. The little tot ate the Grape-Nuts and ;ream greedily and the mother continued .he good work and it was not long be!ore a truly wonderful change manifested tself in the child's face and body. The esults wore remarkable, even for GrapeMuts. "Both husband and I use Grane-Vntn jvery day and keep strong and well and iave three of the finest, healthiest boys rou can find In a day's march." Many mothers instead of destroying :he children's stomachs with candy and ;ake give the youngsters a handful 01 3rape-Nuts when they are begging for something in the way of sweets. The 'esult is soon shown in greatly increased jetmn, strengtn and mental activity. "There's a Reason." Look in pkgs. for the famous little >ook, "The Road to Wellvllle." Ever read the above letter? A new >ne appears from time to time. They ire genuine, true and full of human interest.
