es being based under three heads Bi
ble, Mission and Method Study, the

study periods.
Important among the events Wed
nesday at the Conference was the lec
ture given by Dr. Gilbert T. Rowe of
Duke University who spoke Impree
sivciy ana empaaucauy uu aiwa;a
Mm To Do Right".
Dr. Rove sincerely urged the large
gathering of Epworth Leaguer* whom
he was addressing to never lose faith
or trust in God. to always do what la
right, to not wish to wrong anybody.
In explanation. he gave
the vivid illustration and
figurative comparison of the jour
ney up the StreMt of Life in a boat
equipped with twe oars, the oars of
Religion and Morality or Right. It is
only the constant and equalised work
with both oars that carries the boat
rp stream.
Likewise, the Leaguers were shown
bow they should lire squarely _ and
rightly; for, as Dr. Rowe said, when
one does wrong or bad he is catting
across the grain of the way of the
world tor the world is square. Also,
the point of delivering to the public
just' as much as is taken or received
from it was expounded and certified.
Dr. Rowe spoke these words. "It 1*
better to glv? more and receive less
than to receive more and give less".
Finally in completing his reasons
for always doing right. Dr. Rowe ad
ded and discussed a great necessity.
Character. He said. " No one can
yet along without charactter". It
was his opinion that in order to get
along everyone mast sooner or later
determine "to do exactly right".
Also, during the Forum or Lecture
Hoar, Rev. E. (X Harbin, the Central
Office representative, of Nashville.
Tenn.. talked and discussed with the
leaguers the essentials tor a*soc
cessful devotional meeting ad the
Epworth League.
The regular schedule of classes was
followed during the ssornlng. In the
afternoon recreation under the dtree

fun and entertainment tor the Leag
uer* and faculty aa well. Immediate
