(Free Press Staff Correspondent)' Greensboro, Feb. 14. The great Laymen's Missionary. ' Convention came to a close Sunday evening, with the largest attendance since opening its doors , The program for Sunday afternoon and evening was a special fy strong- one, presenting Mr. W. T. Ellis, the noted! journalist end trav eler on both occasions. Mr. 'Ellis posses a most agreeable personally t, keen, scholarly analy- sis and; an Abundant fund of humor and versatile experience. "Sunday af ternoon, despite rain and enow, large audience was present to hear him dibcuss ,the present world wt as a schoolmaster that, is teaching us some very signifioant facts, "This is the day of the movement of the God at Hosts," he declared.: "More than' at any other time jsince -the birth' of Christ" c And : those . who heard him thought he proved his pro position.- He showed that 'God is su pwms strategist, , and that Turkey .is .to ,be wiped 'out,;, no' matterwho wins Jm this conquest A " V Having, by travel thoroughly fam iliarized , himself with Asia .IMjnor, his discussions of the armed, conflict mow waging in Bible lands was high' ly profitable and interesting. " In the evening, -to a packed h6use, Mr. 'Ellis told, of . the meror conception of life that the- hoys are going to bring back from the trenches. How democracy is rising up " everywhere amid the smoke -of battle, how the spiritual life is developing and how a yearning - for social welfare ' is burning, bright. "When British sol diers - went to the ' war they sang ;; Tipperary," he '; said, but now they are singing "My Faith Looks Up to Thee't and the like. And so it is .with ,the other ' warring nations. ' More Bciles have been sold than ever before, and these have gone to . the battlefields of Europe. . ', In addition to Mr. Ellis' splendid address on Sunday evening, Dr. J. T. Henderson, missionary secretary for the Southern Baptist Convention vmade a strong plea for the "dedica tion of our possessions to the King dom. . " - , In a "sumtping op" address on Sundby afternoon, Col..E- W. , Hal ford of New York, sought to give, in , iaibkrtd form, .the. results of the con ventions discussions. He declared that we are driven to the conclusions ; that there is but one God that He is a unit in all essentials, that there is but one compact world, inter-relat- ! ed, that there is but one race, what ever pigment may differentiate,-that thereis but one problem with local .'. phases, that ,there is but one reme dy and that is in the one Saviour, Jesus Christ, and that there is but one church whereby distinctions can be so absolutely swallowed up as that the whole body of believer shall give the whole Gospel to all the world. An especially strone feature of the fre&t convention has been - its . There is nothing of profes- -.lonalism about At most of the evening sessions a trained quartet has rendered a number or so, but the selections composing the larger part of the program were such as "Stand Up for Jesus," "Onward Christian Solders," "I Need Thee Every Hour" and the like, sung whole-heartedly ar.J prayerfully by the hundreds of men present at the various -f'4her- Such song servict ' '. the fre;.i:! real re- quest always met with a large res ponse. - ; The laymens missionary move- jjnent for the United States and Ca n T J- . , . u ,11 young one.. ,. vrganizea . in 1906 it conducted a campaign in Cain ada, and later in the United States, tbout six years . ago. It's second campaign iji' now in full swing with prospects of accomplishing' much more than heretofore. Its purposes are principally to give men a new vision, ennch ""their spiritual " life, unite the churches ih the solution of a common problem, and to arouse the local church and mako it more ertifiont. " ..' In. following up this program' the Greensboro conventionwhich is, typ ical of the 75 flow being held has brought to the platform three classes of speakers: representative' mission aries and travelers from the foreign field who tell .of actual existing con ditions, and how to meet them, sec retaries of the mission boards of the various' churches who tell of the needs of the work and their plans and suggestions, and pastors and laymen who jtell of the woflc in the local churches and consider ways and means looking to a larger con quest. ' Great stress has been laid on pray er as an indispensible factor in efftV ciency. . Dr. Lilly's suggestion . is about this: work transformed by thought and transfigured by prayer furnishes the key to the situation. Laymen can work, think and pray without a theological preparation. Dr. Lilly, who is "a good Presbyter ian," does not discount the theolo gical seminary, but he is in favor of "those fellows who do not do church work, . getting busy." The layman must be restored to his New Testa ment prominence in reHglous life. One of the most touching pleas that was heard during . the conven tion was that of Itev. 3. E.

OHIO S WILLLING ALL KINDS WEATHER MADE SUNDAY A .DAY fdlliii Summertime Until 4 P. M When Cold Came on the Wings of the Wind From the North and Sent the , Mercury Down Pretty little sunbeams and a tern neraturs away up at the summer time stage made Sunday the pleas antest day of the winter, until about four o'clock when the cold wave that held he northern part of the country icebound arrived with tha speed of an express train. Then followed thunder and lightning, heavy rains arid freezing cold. There was a drop of many degrees from 4 p. m. to some time in the morning. The minimum temperature before 8 o'clock a. m. today was 18, just three degrees over the season's minimum. Sunday night there was sleet, and this morning a fair-sized blizzard, although, the snowfall at no time was great enough to cover the ground. Goldsboro had fancy little snow Sunday evening. Everywhere in the North and over a largo range of country to the west of here the mercury was trying to climb through the bottom of the ther mometers, while snow and sleet pre vailed generally. What damage the weather will do to growing things can hardly be es timated. There is likely to be only third of a pear crop, it is said, because many trees, were in bloom, were wet from , the rain, and froze stiff when the mercury tumbled to well below the freezing point.

VALENTINE, PATRON SAINT OF CHILDREN Many centuries ' ago . there ' lived oversea a good monk, who was the most idle one in a monastery of hustlers, because' he had no specialty. His fellows all shone in various ways, but Valentine, for that was his name, seemed to make progress in none, Thatj is, none that he could realize, But, it is related ( the Holy Mother appeared to him , and declared that his work was extraordinary, for Val entine had specialized all the time in little children and flowers, and did not realize the greatness of what he had ; achieved. This as reckoned to be the date of his martyrdom. The ancient Romans might have been surprised, could they have seen the to-do that Christians have since made over what they most have con sldered a small affair, as: Assume that the place is Rome, 48 B. C, 26th day prior to the Kalends of May.. It has come to pass here today that Emperor Claudius, though busied with the taking of the census and sore pressed for time, walked abroad in the city unattended and. upon being approached and petition ed, gave ear to the babblings of a soothsayer and seer, who spoke to him the words here set down; . "There has this day been put to death a Christian, by name Valen tine. He is looked upon by his f el low-Christians as a martyr and therefore to be sainted hereafter. I have seen in a dream far into the future, and there has been revealed to me a most peculiar and laughable stats of things. It is revealed that, first of all, the Roman calendar shall be changed to make this date read as the 14th of February; and that January, not March, shall, be tha first month. I have seen in my vision a most peculiar calendar, called tha calendar for 'the year 1916, A. D.. though just what that may mean is not irovealed. But! I seem to have seen a writing in a strange book of that far distant time which said: ' 'The fourteenth of February, the festival of St. Valentine, the Chris tian who died a martyr during the reign of Claudius, was marked until the close of the 19th century, , for some unknown . reason (for there seems to be no connection) toy . the exchanging of valentines, or anony mous love tokens; but the practice today, where it survives at all, has been completely vulgarized.' ; 'Ant please you, I cannot for the life of me understand why, if 'this vision be borne out by future devel opments, the date of this man's being put to death should be observed by the exchanging of lovs tokens." And Claudius, remarking casually that it was passing strange, went back to the office to see how. many more Smiths than Joneses there were in the new directory. , - -1. SMALL .
