July 26th, 1918.! •••• THE WAR SITUATION The seeond battle of the Marne is still in progress, but sine last week the tables haVe been entirly changed, Last week it was the Germans who were on the offensive, now it is the Allies. The enemy drive has been brought to a speedy end, and all the plans and losses sustained by ehe Ger- mans have been for nothing. On Fri- day last the French, Americans and Italians commenced a counter -offen- sive that has- developed,into an Allied drive and their succes has been won- derful. Not only did this offensive halt the Germans on the Marnebut it drove them back over the river and far beyond, and it inflicted tremendous tosses upon thein. •A conservative es- - timate of the German losses since July. 19th, it said to be 180,000 men in killed, vtoundk and prisoners. Add- ed, to this the Allies have captured over 400 guns and an incalceable a- mount of war booty of all kinds. The offensive came as a com.plete surprise - to the Germans and consequently they were taken at a tremendous disad- vantage Ete is shown by the number of prisoners taken. When the enemy opened their offensive their- plans are stated te have been. accurately known by the Allied command, even to the time at which it would be launched. Consequently General Foch was enabl- ed to withdraw the majority of his troops and artillery to prepared posi- tions behind the front line, so that when the fist rush came, therewas little or nothing left for the Germans to capture. The German command, however, was by no means so for- tunate. The Greaten front was heav- ily held both by men and guns, and' when the Allies counter -attacked and swept them bac, they were forced to leave their guns and ammunition beet hind them, the attack being so unex- pected, and the pressure so great, that - they had 'not even time to destroy them. Ali' the ground taken by the Germans. and a good' deal more has been retaken by the French and Amer- icans, and they- are now further a- way from Paris than ever and every- thing points to the distance being still further increased day by day. Heavy fighting is still in progress in this section, but any gains that have been :made have gone to the Allies. The Germans are fighting desperately to stem the advance.sacrificing their rear- guards to a man to save their main body of .troops from -a route. The British troops, whose line did not come under the German -drive are 11.0'W in the fighting at Rheims and it looks as if General Foch had not only de- cided that he was able but that now was the time to start the Germans On their homeward march after their four years occupany of French territory. Ou Tuesday the French carried out a most successful minor operation a- gainst the enemy on the Somme front,, when they captured three villages and made an advance of upwards of two miles, giving them control of the - heights dominating the valley of the Avre river, the possession of which is of great importance. The Somme of- fen.sive in all probability was design- ed as a diversion aimed at keeping the enemy occupied arid preventing him from sending large reinforce- ments sonthward towards the Marne, where they are- badly needed. • TheGermans are, still a tremendous- ly strong fighting force, but they can become no stronger. All that they gained by Russia's collapse, has been added to their own and used against the Allies on. the Western front in vain. On the other hand the Allies have held their own, while no !where near the zenith of their strength. In the present offensive they -"have been. strengthened by the addition of ap- proXitnately, 250.000' American troops of whom there are now a million in France and another million on this side of the cean. If the Allies can hold their own without the Americans we can confidently look for big things vrith them. 11/1/1~2Immme•IMIIMINNISI4 REPORT OF THE INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION. In attempting to prepare a report or describe any important event or great gathering, one realizes how im- Possible it is for any individual to ad- equately pourtray or transmit to4th- ers the personnel, atmosphere, in- spiration and enthusiasm which make L;uell nief.tings memorable. The fif- teenth eomrention of the International • Sunday School Assocation held in Butrahy from June 19th to the 25th, was on,- of unusual interest and im- portan,:e. Two thousand delegates representinfr every state in the Un- ion, except Texas, Wyoming and New Mexico; representing also every Can- aian province, the colony of New Zea- land, Cuba. Alaska and South Amer- ica. with, distinguished visitors from China, Janet% Korea, India and the Phillipines, constituted a convention that was notable alike for the charac- ter of its membership and the high quality of its Christian service. The delegation from Nebraska showed its zeal bie motorini twelve, hundred miles to be present. ' As one looked into the face of these thonsends eameat-minded men and women representing the various Pro- testant denominations of the whole American contbsentiand all classes of the community fromthe statesman and educator of. Internet onal reputation to the humblest whit or coloredwork- er, one felt proudefr to be j their company than if they had been a- mong peers of the realm. and realized as never before that the 'Sunday School is the bi gest business in the world and pays the largest div,idends both for time and eternity. The con- vention continued for seven days, The morning and evening sessions were held, in Elmwooditilusic jlall.which has a seating capacity of 4000,- the audi- torium. being brightly decorated with the colors which the American boys on the western front are going to carry to victory. Conspicuous also among the decorations were the Union Jack, the International Service flag, a ban- neg. with the convention theme: "Thy Kingdom Come" and another bearing e motto, "The Men of America for tile Man of Galilee," The afternoon conferences were held in, the different chiunlies of the city. Four great outstanding features of the convention, were emphasized, viz: Patriotism, Education, Christian Uni- ty and Progress. With, splendid un- animity and' unbounded enthusiasm, the Convention pledg.ed fullest support to the, President of the United States and to the Canadian Government in their ever"' effort to make the world safe for democraey and to bring about suah a type of democracy as shall be safe for the world. • President Warren, who announced, when he readied Buffalo, that owing to impaired health he -Would not be a candidate for re-election. although he will continue to work on the committee of !whichhe is a member. Perhaps no one stood so, '.high in the af- fection of the audience fis the,genial unassuming president, whom someone ' described as having fa heaft as big. as a tea kettle; with his bright, witty it- terjections which always provoked round after round of applause. In in- troducing his remarks the president, Mr. Edward K. Warren, of Three Oaks, Michigan, held itti a type -writ- ten inanuscript and explained that he Would make no apology for reading hie address closely. In, support of this he cited his experience on one oc- casion when he had .been asked to give an address on Palestine. He said it. took three rponths to prepare and come mit to memory and half an hour to deliver it and he never was asked to repent it. He began by referring to the ' arvellous evidences of the hos- pity of the Buffalo people and their desir to make this meeting a blessing to 1.16& r. Warren spoke very feel- ingly i f the farmer president of the Association, Dr. Howard M. Hammitt of Na hville, Tennesee, who had pass- ed to, higher service in 19.15, being with un in spirit, and we hold his mem- ory very precious. Death has greatly -depleted the ranks of the International leaders. In the service flag - en the International Sunday School Associ- tort for the four years of the present quadrettnium, June 1814-18, there are fifteen golden stars; each star repret seats a fallen hero. a victorioue pr - motion to the life beyond. It is 'an inspiration to know that these proino- tions came in the midst of active ser- vice. With md'untain peak ace lishrn.enis each heart was filled. *th the desire to complete yet unfinished plans. Our "Fallen heroes" Will be missed; their voices are hushed, their, work is finished but they are not dead and in their places, we who are spared must uphold their standards, press toward the markt and maintain our high calling, Me. Warren spoke -of the organized class movement and said there had been more than three mil- lion full grown men brought into the Sunday school during the past ten years. The Home Visitation Depart- ment is bringing out the great heart throbs of the nation. It is a systemat- ically organized interdenominational movement through which every home in the largest city or most inaccess- ible country district cah be visited in a few hours. Its purpose is to place a printed invitation in every home, in- viting all the people to attend the church orsynagogue and Sunday school of their choice, and to seucre a record of the church connection or preference of every individual which is given to teh pastor, priest, rabbi, or oranzation reperred. In. nearly every city it has had the hearty co-opera- tion of all Protestants, Catholics and' Jews. Many of the strongest busi- ness men say this is a Practical thiog. The printed invitations have been given in twenty one languages. Gov- ernors and Mayors issue proclama- tions and- the city and parochial, schools are closed on the day set a- part for visitation in order that the children of foreigners may go home to oneet the visitors and act as inter- preters. Few large cities have so much as fifty per cent. of their papu- lations connected with any religious organization pireferred. In nearly every cent. of the more than forty seven million people visited through home visitation have expressed, a religious preference. , Thousands of people who are not of your faith or mine are being brought into the kingdom, through' this- The progress in the secondary division or Young People's Work of the Continent iit the last four years has been phenomenal. Everywhere we hear the call for new leadership. It would be nothing short of a catas- trophe were we to purchase world lib- erty, at the price ef the moral and re- ligiout developmeint of boys under draft age: Apostles of the new vision of boy hood and girlhood are sorely needed. We are faced with new prob- lems arisino• out of war conditions. Juvenile delinquency has increased from 37 to .100 ijer cent and 200 per cent. of the twenty-five million child- ren. of all races and nationalities on the continent abOut tinrteen million are receiving relfgious education, as follows: 6,800,000 in. Protestant Sun- day Schools: 5,000.000 in Catholic ins- titutions; 400,000 in Jewish institu- tions; 1,000,000 in other institutions.

President Warren said and to get it and to keep it ev- ery generation must be willing to pay the price. May we all receive a new vision of what preparednees in Our Sunday school work Means. rhe peo- ple who have been most prominent in promoting reform measures of the past generations were trained in our Sunday Schools. The church of the future will be a great religious de- mocracy. _ Rev. George Caleb Moor,- DID. ,, of New York, who is a Canadian, chiliad the first session. in Elmwood Music Hall with, an able sermon' on the con- vention theme: "Thy Kingdom Come" ' When Jesus prayed this player, th4 military spirit of Rome -and the, ec- clesiastical element in Jerusalem were all arrayed against it, and yet Jesus said "Thy Kingdom Come." The priv- ilege committed to the men and wo- then of this convention' is to pray fer and help on the coming ofthe Kingdom. One thing that is absolutely necessary . to bring about the corning of the King- dom is sincerity. No Sunday School officer ior worker can have any in, fluence unless there is in them 'sine cera', which in the original means without wax. A child is more in- fluenced by personality than principle —The is too young to understand prin- ciple but not • too young to be im- pressed by personality. If we prove • to be what we are' and What we pro- fese to be, the child capitulates. We must 'have common sense also. The modern Sunday School must recognize the individuality of the child. Early influences largely determine char- acter. .t.tx old lady who was travelling in, a street ear had some dificfulty in rising from her seat when the car stopped- A young man shouted out "Old lady, you should use better yeast." "Young man.," she replied, "iftyour mother had used better yeast you would have been bred." There are thousands of Sunday school teach- ers not looking forward as they should to the time when they can lead their children into the Kingdont of God. Unless the_unday School teacher puts himself alongside of his scholar and italizes toast scholar with the prin- ciples of Jesus Christ that Sunday School teacher is a failure. We have been too puny in' our ap- peals in the oast to the people in our churches. We have wanted them to come in to do them good, instead of putting up a plea to comb in in order to do good. Some Sunday School teachers are not intereeted enough to be willing to sacrifice. We have to pay the price for service for souls. When the church of Christ saerifices to the extent of her ability .it will not .be long until the King comes to feign. - The thought that we have been thinking in community terms and liv- ing the community life, to, exclusively both in a natural and religious sense was e phasized by several speakers and made one of the central themes of the clonvexition. We must have the world `sion in order to bring about the •co ing of the Kingdom. D. Brown, of Calvary Baptist Clprch, Buffaionin reply to the question, what ie the matter with the world," said the, matter -with the world is that the world becamet a neighborhood with- out becoming a brotherhood., Chorus Leader Excel!, who led the. magnificent body cif 40a singers, pre- sented the "tar Spangled Banner", "Americit," 4'God Save the King", and "Kee e the Home Fires Burning" at every session and other gatherings, From bricklayer to a position, at a single leap, where he is recognized as one of the greatest chorus leaders in the religious world, describes he career of Professor E. O. Excell. n- cle Ex., as the professor is called by his friends is a man who would sta d out in any assembly and on the plat- form he is doubly impressive. He is six feet two in his stocking feet and tins the scales at 285- Professor Ex- cel! has a baritone voice of long range and power. He has travelled many thousands of miles ancj has led the music at the Illinois State Sunday School Convention 34 times in the last 36 years. What gives the Sunday sehoOl leaders courage for the future and a firm confidence that their work is corning into its own, is the fact that so many business 'men of large af, fairs, whose time is valuable, are novit taking an intgrest in the work of the Sunday School. The real power be- hind the throne appears to be Vested in the General secretary- who is often spoken of as a man with a woman's name., but Marion Lawranne is a man for a'• that. A master of wit and re- paitee, as well as of administrative ability and `a, sort of human reservoir of exhaustless energy, Marion Law - ranee is a prince among men. What drnpressed the writer most was ”the deep spirituality and -solidity of • the seen and women who compose the per- sonnel of the various international de- partments and committees. A move- ment inspired and guided by people of such consecration, faith and world wide vision must go forward by the help of God se victory. ! The World's Sunday School Pil- grim's banquet at the Hotel Statler was one of the most interesting gath- erings. There swere about 150 Pil- grims and- gui.,thsts at dinner, a.mong the number soine who had attended several of the world's conventions al- ready held. 4. missionary program was given at the close at which Mrs. J. Ar Walker of Denver. Colorado, ave a granhic account of, the Alger - Ln Mission Band, which was organ- ized in 1907 during the trip of -the American and Canadiart delegates to the World's convention in Jerusalem. The party stopped at Algiers and while there became deeply interested in the speeia1 work beirif.-,, done by Miss Trotter, As a result a keen in- terest was arou,sedl and the women on shipboard decided to undertake the summit of a mission in Algiers. The Algerian Mssion Band is the first organized Missionary SocietY in eon - ton with the Sunday School As- soc:ation for the World's Mission work. The hope has been expressed that it wH1 he the harbinger of the great 'future world missionary organ- izatio:i that will not be confined to any creed,pr country. The Algerians are the dkscendants of the Amorites. They were once a Christian nation like America but they were conquered by the Mohammedans who killed. all the grown people and brought the child- ren up in the Mohammedan faith. As a result they were left for hundreds of years without any hope for them- -selves' or their Children Mrs. • J. A, Walker, the secretary, is 0116, of tho most unselfish, selfteacrifichig women on God's roll/ of honour. She has de- voted iters,elf, her, tithe and her means Misparingly in the service of the Sun- day scheol first as Elementary State Superintendent for 27 years without pay and later in connection with the Algerian 'Mission Band in Mrica. Pledges for $1200 were given. by the delegates to make it, possible for her to return there to assist Miss Trotter. The burden of this work has rested very heavily upon Mrs. Walker dur- ing the past three years, She has had practically to finahce the mission by faith because their only source of sup- port is pledges given at the 'World's Sunday School Convention and the proposed meeting in Tokio, Japan, had to be postponed until the end of the wax. She gave a very inspiring and helpful testimony to the goodhess of God in supplying every need of the Mission -.hi answer .to prayer. The first cradle roll in Africa was estab- lished bir Mrs. Walker. Mr. Warren said we had better eall her themother of the Cradle. Roll in Africa. Mrs. Walker replied that she would love that name. Dr. Biehler, son-in-law of D'Aubrigney, the late noted Frencli historil Bn also gave a short address. 3; T. McLauchlin, a mis- sionary to the Phillipine Islands in. an illustrated lecture described thewen- derful work being done there. The story of the religigus and educational development of that country since the American oceupation reads like a romance. In tveenty years the Am- ericans have succeeded itt. doing what the Spanish in three hundred years of their occupancy failed to accpmplish, viz: make their own language dom- inant. To possess a ' Bible under Spanish rule was a military crime. To -day it is taught all over the land. Seven year 'ago there were 7,600 Christians, now there are 70,000. (Continued on Page 3.)
