when the cIubs meeting was to us the

of pur lending Northern Now York
churches to the effect that there Is "new

that In some quarters it Is still n power
to hold men to n life ot prayer, elTort,

to participate.
"We should cling to this service, not
because It Is old but because It is ef
fective. Many times new methods are
better than the old, but wn doubt If vv
have yet found the canal of the class
meeting. Iot us raise It out of the ruts,
dispense with cant phrases and stereo

much which will make for sttength and
