The order further speciiies that if the men have no telephones in their own homes or places of buiuess, the near- est instrument. no matter whether public or private. must be given. and subscribers‘ will be compelled to deliver a message sent over their wire. The object of the order is to reach the mil- itary men immediately, either by day or night. if called upon by the govern- 01'. Work was commenced soon after re- ceipt of the order in compiling the list. it will include the numbers of the tele- phones is the places of employment of all the men for s day call. or the num- bers of the Inhaovibers' telephones nearest the company men for a night call. Similar oven-s have been dis- patched to all the telephone es, changes in the state and the list will soon be completed.

Stamford and other places. after reviewing their methods. express themselves in favor of them and greatly in sympathy with the movement. The purpose of these meetings. as of the many others along the more lines which have preceded them. both in this country and in Eng- land, is the deepening of the spiritual life of Christians. The promoters of the movement believe in the possibil- ity of a realisation of those high ideals of living and happy experiences in Christian life and service which the early disciples enjoyed and which some few claim to have attained today. These are the ideas that they advance wtliat. by certain processes laid down in the gospel. yet not so well under- stood as they might he through more diliigent and careiui attention to the rules or methods given by Christ. cer- tain results can be attained by which Christians may attain a higher stand- ard of life and consequently more ill- ness for Christian service. The conse- quence of this would be. not dead. half- hearted churches who have to be push- ed along and urged on by overburdened pastors. but live churches fitted to grapple with the great problems of the day; not only those of religion. so desw lgnated. but also civic. national and social Mont-e questions. These if church people more closely followed the example of the primitive (flirts- tians in their mode of living. would be greatly reduced and would be strolled eswrimentsliy instead of abstrusely. Christian lindenvorcra. not only in Norwalli but in other places, are much interested in the mating convention and it Is expected that they will send large delegations. it is known that itev.

Consequently the old and young. the convicted and the merely accumd. were day and night in close companionship, injuring and influenc- ing each other with vile conversation caged like boasts at a meuagcrie. and having. also like them. nothing to do.
