The Ministerial, Sunday school and ‘Keystone of Christian vor convention for the Center district of the United E ical church was held in St. Lukes United Evangelical church in Millheim, May 20th to 22nd inclusive. Twenty-one ministers and about sixty delegates were in attendance, represent- ing eight different counties. ; singing, under the direction of chorister Rev. A. F. Weaver, was inspir- ing and uplifting. The officers of the convention were, president, Rev. Hen A. Benfer, D. D.; vice president, Rev. J. C. Reeser, A. M.; Secyetany, Rev. H. W. Buck Jr.; treasurer, Rev. W. J. Dice. The ing address of the convention was made by iding elder Rev. Henry A. Benfer, D. D., of Lewisburg. He spoke on the subject, “The Preacher and the Demands of the Times.” He said, “the times demand novelty, sensationalism, flattery and compromise. The preacher must not yield to the demands but preach the word." Wednesday morning and afternoon sessions consisted of subjects bearing on ministerial work, such as “Effective Preaching,” “Care and Development of Converts,” “Pastoral Visitation,” “The Value of System in Church Work and Finance,” etc. The various subjects were well presented showing thoughtful reparation, and giving many practica ints and suggestions. Some of the sub- jects were largely and profitably dis- cussed. Wednesday evening the session opened promptly at 7:30 o'lock. After song and devotional service, two of the local -Sun- day school classes beautifully. Rev. S. A. Snyder, of Middleburg, also sang a tem song, entitled “Molly and the by.” The speaker of the evening, Rev. 1 C. Reeser, A. M., of Lew- istown, was then introduced. He spoke magnificently, in an earnest, forceful manner, on “The Imperative Need in the Present Temperance Crisis.” He pictur- ed the saloon asa tic foe, but con- vinced his audience that the day is not far distant when it will be a thing of the past. He showed clearly that only successful way to overcome it is by the vote cast at the polls, and urged that each one vote for the men who will use their power for National prohibition. Build the wall solid, high and complete. Shut the liquor business out everywhere, A solo entitled, “The Twin Ballots,” was sung by Rev. Snyder.

Buck, Jr., of Mifflin, spoke very earnestly on “The Importance of Maintaining a Christian Home.” The subject, “Music in Our Churches,” was very Aly presented by Rev. A. F.

Young, of Altoona, read a well prepared paper on “The Great Com- mission and the United Evangelical Church,” setting forth the urgent need of missionary activity on the part of the church.
