Lovell, of Clark's Qiccn, at tho Evening Session. The winter rally of tho Baptist Young People's union of Ablugtou as sociation was held ot the Dudley Street Baptist church, Dunmore, yesterday afternoon and evening, Dr. B. G. Bed doe, presiding. Notwithstanding tho bllzzaid, there was a fair representa tion piesent. Among those who failed to fill their appointed plnces on tho tiruraramo were Rev. R. F. Y. Pierce nnd W. R. Ellis and Mirs Maud Es telle. The other numbers wero carried out. Rev. R. N. Roderick, pastor of the Dunniore church, gave n pleasant ad dress of welcome, to which response was happily made by Dr. iieddoe. Ml.' Edith Williams, of tho Scranton Street church, gave a valuable paper on "Tho Eaptlst Young People's Union a Help to the Pas.tor." She tald that young people can be a help In four different ways, by securing attendance at the church services, part'etuaily prayer meeting; seeming an Inci cased spiritu ality by visiting and prayer. An im portant feature of the woik is that tho society member pledges himself to do something at the prayer service be sides singing, ir this can bo done in sincerity nnd truth. Rev. R. N. Roderick spoke of his ex perience with the meetings and that the pastor could aid the young people very much In their work. Mrs. Andiew Dershlmer made encouraging and in teresting remarks. REV. Jill FORD'S REMARKS. Rov. W. J. Ford spoke on his meth ods. Tho Christian culture course had not been a gerat success, but the other work had been kept up. He followed In a discussion of the paper read by Miss Williams. On the night when the Thirteenth regiment went out. fle deacons of his congregation wero ab sent, but tho young people were all there. Later they all went to see tho departure of the troops, but they went to prayer meeting first. The pastor does not need coddling, but he needs encouragement, and the young people should encourage one another as well as the pastor. Dr. Reddoe paid a tribute to a for mer president ot their society, Miss Roso Phillips, now deceased, tho In fiuence of whose beautiful life still remains as help to pastor and people. The young people of the Scranton Street Baptist chinch are not Riven to card playing or tlnuclng. All the pastois say that their work would not bo half done without the young people. Rev. J. L. Williams, of Forest City, continued the discussion and gave hearty endorsement of the paper. Rev. Mr. Lowell spoke most interest ingly in the discussion. He stated that there are cases where tho young people do not give the aid they might to the pastor and to the wotk of the chutch, where they simply attend tho young people's meeting and neglect the other services. These cases ure, however, ex ceptional. Rev. W. G. Watklns made interesting remarks, giving many time ly suggestions. THE RUSINESS SESSION. A business besslon followed. It was decided to go to the Derean chuich, Carbondale, for the June meeting and that the matter be left to the executive committee. Rev. W. H. Lowell waa ap pointed transportation leader, with re gard to tho convention nt Richmond. Rev. Mr. O'Neal, also a southern man, was to be his assistant. Rev. J. L.

I.IIood&Co.,Lowel),MaB. to add its protest to tho Wow bill re garding Sunday laws, Rov. S. J. Arthur, of Pittston, then gave an excellent address on "Train ing Demanded for Our Young People." Mr. Atthur Is n man of lino appearance, and Is an able speaker. He gave an excellent address. The central thought was emphatically brought out thai training is absolutely necessaiy. Tho ago of specialism shows tho piemlum put uuon trained men. A study of tho disciples' mission must bo mode. The aim is to effect dlsclpleshlp. Tho training must bo to renllro thu character of the Christian life. It must effect thu culture of thu Ciirlstlan life and Its mission. Thu evening scsclon opened with n service of song, with sjeclal music by tho Dudley street church choir. Tho address of tho occasion was delivered by Rev. W. II. Lowell, of Clarfa Green, who is a man of great ability. His dis course was purely doctrinal and might lw said to be devoted to Perseverance, or rather the "Preservation of the Saints." SALVATION THAT SAVES. He emphasized tho Importance of sal vation that saos. A man can not bo truly regenerated and still fall back into sin. He urged the objection to the argument of what use Is it to keep thu law if one Is to be saved anyway, that this theory is based on tho idea that the Christian desires to sin and simply restrains himself through fear of the consequences. This is contempt ible In tho eyes of those who lovo God. It Is tho unconverted man who plunges headlong' Into sin, because he lovea It. "The lovo of Christ constroineth us" to his service. The session closed with a consecra tion senlco led by Rev. W. G. Wat kins. Delegates to the rally were as fol lows: Dr. R. G. Beddoe, Rev. W. II.
