MARY'S—Miss Edith Spar­ ling, Canadian Missionary, on fur­ lough here, told a graphic story of her experience in Cheng-Tu, capital city of Sze-Chuan province in China. Braving the fire of Chinese rifles and machine guns, Miss Edith Spar­ ling told of walking across the com­ pound of the Women’s Missionary Society, in Cheng-Tu, in full view of the rival armies to bargain for a temporary truce. The fighting, Miss Sparling recall­ ed, opened November 1 last, sanc­ tioned by the Nanking Government in an attempt to wipe out four war lords and consolidate control of the city. Eventually, the compound of the United Church Society, enclosing the hospital and girls’ boarding school and sheltering 300 people, became the no-man’s-land between the rival troops. The modest missionary declared she walked to the compound gate during a lull in the firing and the rival armies chivalrously held their fire. After arguing with officers In charge of both armies, Miss Sparl­ ing said one side retreated and a truce was signed. — AT — Zwicker’s General Store - CREDITON - WE ARE OFFERING GOVERNMENT GRADED SEEDS AT THE FOLLOWING PRICES Number 1 Red Clover.................... . .

ZWICKER Evangelical Conference at Crediton The 69th annual session of the Canada Conference of the Evangel­ ical Church opened Wednesday af­ ternoon of last week at Crediton with clergy and lay delegates from |he Stratford, Hanover, Han^lton, Waterloo and Ottawa districts in at­ tendance, Bishop F. J. Dunlap, D.D.. of Cleveland, presidea. In his open­ ing remarks Bishop Dunlap said that the church and the nation face a serious situation and there is an ur­ gent need for religious awakening. Too long has the nation followed the false gods of money, power, pleasure and high living. William Sweitzer, reeve of Stephen and Joseph Woodall, village trustee extended the welcome of the muni­ cipality and Herbert K. Eilber for the congregation. Mr. Eilber said the congregation started in 1851 with a Huron mission. In 1854 a church was built and in 1866 a brick church was erected while in 1897 the present fine edifice was dedicated. Like Dashwood and Zurich, who have given sons to the clergy, Cred­ iton congregation has provided no less than 15. At the evening- meeting Rev. W. J. Zimmerman presided and the Zu­ rich choir provided appropriate mis­ sionary music. The speaker of the evening was Rev. C. H. Stauffacher, of Cleveland. His topic was “The Missionary (Situation in Recent Times.” Rev. Mr. Stauffacher, of Cleve­ land, gave a report of the mission work of the church as a whole. Every effort had been made to bal­ ance the disbursements with receipts and in order to do this expenses had been cut to the bone. Bishop J. F. Dunlap, D.D., Cleve­ land, Ohio, took the devotional ser­ vice on Thursday morning. The first part of the session was spent in rou­ tine affairs. A pleasing interruption in the routine of the conference came when Rev. Mr. Johnson, of the Unitea church, Crediton, was introduced and extended cordial greetings from his congregation. Mr. Johnston said that he expected the conference would be not only of great spiritual benefit to the Evangelical Church but that the splendid address in which he referred in glowing terms to the fact that evangelical work was emphasized by the clergy pres­ ent. t With Bishop Dunlap presiding rhe j 3rd day of the conference was mark- ’ ed by a memorial service at whicn l tributes were paid by the Rev. H. A Kellerman and Rev. W. H. Wagner to the memory of the Rev. J. C. Morlock and the Rev. L. K. Eidt (members of the conference, who died during the past year. Rev. J. G. Litt spoke feelingly of Conrad Piffer and Ezra .Schmidt, lay dele­ gates, and also of Mrs. S. F. Brown and .Mks. J. W. Hemmett, widows of clergy, who had also passed away. A grant was made to the Lord’s Day Alliance. Dr. E. W. Pretorious extended the greetings of the gener­ al board. Speaking on Christian teaching, he stated there were three peaks of Evangelical success, the greatest being on youth of 12 to 13. a lesser one at 15 and 16, and a third one from 19 to 21. Stress Evangelism at the age it will do most good and build along definite lines a Christian character, urged the speaker. Rev. Dr. J. H. Niergarth, convey­ ed a message of greeting sent by the Illinois conference in session The speaker went fully into the sup­ erannuation situation. The church has .$1,950,000 invested.. Rev. W. O. Haynes read a report from Dr. Kimmet, of the religious seminary of North Central College, Naperville $8.40 a bushel 7.50 a bushel 7.00 a bushel 6.00 a bushel 5.00 a bushel 3.50 a bushel 3*00 a bushel 2.10 a bushel 1.80 a bushel 2.50 a bushel Ill., showing 54 in training for the ministry. Rev. E. H. Bean, D.D., presided at night and for the third consecu­ tive evening the auditorium of the church was filled to capacity. It was moral reform night and the speaker was the Rev. Dr, John Co­ burn, of Toronto. Music was provid­ ed by the Dashwood choir. The speaker referred to the chal­ lenge of the present situation to the Christian church. Many people think of the depression in terms of money and economics, but he spoke of it in relation to human life and its ef­ fect on people. Thousands of youths of the ’teen age are roaming the country. The youth have a supreme right to mar­ riage and a home and Nature’s laws cannot be denied without disaster The duty of the church is both mor­ al and physical following the exam­ ple of the Saviour, jt is the duty of the church to proclaim fearlessly the social principles of the Gospel. The Ladies’ Aid Society served meals at the town hall during the convention,. Act Being Violated Secretary McLean of the Lord’s Day Alliance made several requests to the society, including one for the. financial support and for an appeal to be made to their congregations. Before an audience which taxed the capacity of the chuch Dr. E. W. Praetorius, of Cleveland, Ohio, de­ livered a scholarly and interesting address appropriate to Brotherhood Night. “Religion” said the speaker “was originally an affair particular­ ly of men.” In support of this he referred to man’s place in the anc­ ient Hebrew’s religion and in the temple worship of the Hebrews, where the males were required to at­ tend three times yearly and that the Court of Men was next to the priest and that man’s place with its privi­ lege called for responsibility in the Christian church. Our Lord chose 12 men to do His work and seven deacons were appointed. Outside the church in civic wel­ fare the Lions, the Kiwanis and the Rotary Club show that men are still willing to do their part. In view of the fact that 9'5 per cent, of the men doing church work are vitally relat­ ed to the body brotherhood be form­ ed in every parish. The chairman was R. A. McGillivray, of Kitchener Choruses were given by the men’s chorus and instrumental music was provided by the Sunday School or­ chestra of the Crediton Evangelical Church.

W.' M. Sippell, in con­ nection with the conference were praised. The church was beautifully decor­ ated with flowers for Sunday’s ser­ vices. In the morning Bishop Dun­ lap, „D.D., gave a sermon on “Keep Yourselves in the Love of God”. The dangers of opostacy, the call of love our neighbors and the necessity of keeping in accord with what God loves were among the points of an eloquent and spiritual appeal. Rev. Dr. Edwin Fry and Rev. Dr. Prae- torious delivered able addresses in the afternoon and evening respect­ ively. The Crediton choir, with Miss M. Gaiser at the organ, and Charles Hoffman soloist, sang. The minis­ terial quartet, Revs. Sippell, Burns, Sauer and Gretzenger, also sang. One appointment made, that of J.
