I've been thinking how foolish I was
not to hnve entered the drive when it

by tens of thousanihi. However, "I

new memliers, as well as those who
have already entered the race. .
That the siecinl offer, which closes

mark the most imiiortant period of

WaIUnrion. Oct. 24. (By tbe As
sociated Press) Wide pnaMbihtlea
affecting re atlont between all coun
tries on tbe American continent may
be Involved In the Central American
conference, called to meet In Wash
ington Deo mber 4 fur discussion
among other things ot a plan for limi
tation of armaments. In Latin-American
circles here today the opinion
was-expressed that tife conference
might prove a step toward the for
mation of Pan-American Association
of Natl-inn.
It was pointed out that the agenda
of the conference, as out.ined hi Sec
retary Hughes' invitation (n the Cen
tral American powers, is of such scope
as to permit the dlscubsion of , any
subject of mutual Interest to the na
tions participating. In vw of this,
and because of the recent- suggestion
of Chile for a South American agree
ment on limitation of armament and
the movement in Uruguay for Pan-AmerU-an
league as a peace measure,
R would cause litt'.e surprise in gov
crment circles here if the Central
American conference made at least
tentative suggestions for a Inter gen
eral agreement among all . Latin
American countries.. Naturally such
a step 'would be dependent on the suc
cess of the Central American con
ference, which is confidently' expected
in government and diplomatic circles
in Washington. . .
The Central American conference
willdeal only with -land armaments
since none of the five countries in
vited lias a navy. Treaties resulting
from the conference might well pro
vide however, it was suggested, 4hat
none of these countris should at any
time plan naval expenditures except
for necpssary police work in their
waters.
THE McGILL STREET REVIVAL

A large and very - attentive con
gregation greeted Rev C. J. Black
Monday night, at Mctlill Street Bap
tist Chnrch, where he spoke very In
formally hut wry earnestly on "The
Kind of Revival TBtit Is Needed To

which already exists and that a re-
vival is not merely the upstlrrlng of
emotions and the appeal to sentiment
as many regard it to lie. .
Selecting for his text Psalm 85:0.
the preacher first answered the ques-
tion, "Is a Revival Worth While?" by
showing that practically all religious
enterprises of Importance have sprung
out oi u revival, atom cnurcnes ana
most religions educational institu-'was
tions, he said, may lie traced to some
revival; every outstanding missionary
undertaking came as a result of a re-
vival ; a large majority of Christians
were saved mere, ana most preacners
first heard their cull to the ministry .
under its uplifting influence. He Is
strongly of the opinion that a revival
is worth while. I
Discussing some of the things that
a real revival will do, the speaker
mentioned first. It revives conscience,
lines it up with the will of God and
the Word of God. Christianity he
said, has lost, its conscience and vlo -
mi nit? iii uuii uru i uini wiiu-
out embarrassment. It will clean tip
the lives of men mnke them pay old
debts, , bury old grudges, right old
wrongs, forgive old injuries, quit old ,
habits. It wlU promote Bible reading1
and the practice of secret prayer. He
iiiuiiy ot-ueves uuir h ru revival oi
