BIG CROWD AGAIN

FILLS JE CHURCH At S. S. Convention Last Evening, Excellent Program Was Offered. KT EVANSVILLE IN 1913 Southern Indiana City Chos en Over Logansport Dr. McKinney Spoke. Another great crowd heard the spea kers before the convention of the In diana Sunday School Association last evening in East Main Street Friends' church, the S. R. O. sign being out long before the commencement of the pro gram. Great applause greeted the state ment from President Hall that Evansville had been selected for the convention next year, its claims having been presented overwhelmingly before the Board of Directors which met yesterBiay afternoon at about five o'clock. Ijlhe Logansport rooters, however, 'showed their good sporting spirit by announcing through a municipal yell that they would keep after it until 1915 when they hoped to land the con vention prize. nce with his piano improvisations on LLymnal themes and Professor Excell with his direction of the congregation al chorus and his own solo numbers. Dr. Woel f kin, pastor of New York, continued his series of brilliant and I "The Dilemmas of Knowledge," Mr. Woetfkin's subject, was treated with 'scientific erudition, but from the or thodox point of view, his conclusions being in accordance with the accepted conventions of the Christian religion. "The mind will not rest with the ifiimple 'I don't know,'" said Dr. jWoelfkin. ? Science, said the speaker in effect, (has its scope but also its limitations, iand has never answered the deeper questions of the soul. Philosophy has Its contradictions and its speculations but which leave this mips tion unan-

ri Bwered. Formal religion has the I (same limitations and the realities U 'of religious experience are only discoverable by sincere experiments.

Dr. Woelfkin's clear and logical presentation of his subject and his witty and apropos illustrative interpolations j called out one of the most prolonged j testimonials of appreciation yet heard ! (from the convention audience. I jLr. mcivinney resumed nis popularly put studies of boy and girl psychology in the adolescent period in his address on "Fool Hill," an epigrammatic rhrase overheard by him in a description of a boy by his younger brother the latter saying "I wish Willie would hurry and get over Fool Hill," Dr. McKinney stating that, broadly, this included the period from twelve to sixteen, although its confines were not entiiely determinate. "At the very outset," stated Dr. McKinney, "I wish it understood that we do not speak with absolute correctness when we put the period between twelve and sixteen but are merely considering the average, healthy, normal individual. "The majority of this class," contin ued the speaker, "come up to the foot if this hill, get up on it and remain there for three or four years, and this generalization is concurred in by secular educators. "Some boys, however, go round. Othtr alternate sometimes up and sometimes down and this often causes that fallacious statement that the bad bov

If makes the best man. I "This is a mistake. The bad boy does J not make the best man and the sooner I we. get away from that confused estir mate the sooner will this difficult I tproblem be solved."

i j Dr. McKinney then went on to point V, out why this period in the boy's life

was hard for everybody and hardest for himself. That unknown and mys terious forces were being brought into l.iay at this stage of his development pitta which he was frequently wholly

llfnable to cope. In "There are great battles being

fought in that boy's mind." said the (speaker. "For this is 'the time of storm land stress in the boy's life. And it is ;here that there are morasses, pitfalls tund bypaths that lead him to perdik'.vn. I "And shame to us as a nation," cried 3r. McKinney scathingly, "that tTTere ynre wicked men and wicked women jivhc are helping to lead them astray, 'liberately luring them to their ruin v.'hlle we sit apathetically by, deploring a condition which we are making ric vigorous effort to correct." ; The speaker here referred to the investigations of Anthony Comstock and Ma anti-vice crusade and of the literature which is sent out with the deliberate intent of debauching boys and pirlB. At this period, declared the speaker, more boys went astray through neglect of parents and teachers or through misdirected, if well intentioned effort, than any other time. That this was Lhe -formative period when at a crucial noment a boy's life might be made or arred by the wise counsel and the endly helping hand. vThe speaker also stated that too lit.le consideration was given the fact hat a boy's mind- was in a ferment at hip time and that his ideals clashed with his embryonic development. "W must meet the bov on the plane jpf his day dreams," said Dr. McKinfney. , f Afternoon Session. I That it pays to have a practical busness man at the head of an organizaI ton was proved yesterday when W. C. f lail, president of the Indiana Sunday f 3chool Association, raised $2500 in about an hour's time with which to carry on the Sunday school "work over the state through an additonal field worker. This was regarded as a rec-

ord breaker for any state convention and an international officer present complimented Mr. Hall upon its success stating that he had attended many state conventions and at none had he seen a like situation handled with as much ease nor with a more generous or with a prompter response. Oneof the pleasant features of the afternoon's procedure was the recognition of the counties which were called upon by name and which made brief and apropos responses. One of the most eloquent addresses of the convention followed and was made by W. C. Pearse, assistant general secretary of the International Sunday School Association, Mr. Pearce's subject being "The World's Greatest Syndicate," in which manner he characterized the world wide union of Sunday school organizations. Dr. Pearce, however, stated it to be his purpose to emphasize the meaning, not the greatness, of this great combination of Christian workers who numbered 30,000,000 and whose influence upon the social body is incalculable. Dr. Pearce's description of the immensity of this syndicate's operations, of the catholicity of its organization and of the exaltation of its ideal thrilled his audience to enthusiastic response. The speaker referred to the perfection of its organization. Of the world Association which held its first convention in London in 1889 and of those held more recently in Washington, Rome and Jerusalem. To the International Association which included the whole of the continent of North America; of the na

tional body, of the State, the county, the township, the city and the local school upon which the whole foundation rests. And of its purpose which, the speaker stated, was to '"help the folks to know Christ and serve him." "Who do I mean by 'folks?' " inquired Mr. Pearce. "Why I mean my own boy and yours." Mr. Pearce animadverted at length upon the benefits of co-operation stating that "I have always thought cooperation one of the sweetest and most powerful doctrines in the world and that it should be more universally applied." The co-operative aspects of the various affiliated bodies of the Sunday school organization were dwelt upon in detail by the speaker who stated that there was neither ecclesiastical or any other kind of authority vested in the organizations' operations but that its activities were directed by a sort of unwritten fraternal law. That 17,000 Sunday school conventions with an attendance of 3,000,000 persons were held each year in North America alone, was, the speaker declared one evidence of the perfect machinery of the "syndicate," and that these conventions were efficacious in inspiring individual interest was shown over and over again. "The young man who attends a convention for the first time feels its thrill and its passion and recognizes that he is in touch with an institution big enough to girdle the world." The speaker also made the further point that the methods of the organization were not based on mere desultory acton or passing enthusiasm but upon orderly, systematic and scientific procedure under the direction of trained experts and that these methods, no matter how handled, were current in every Sunday school the world over. Mr. Pearce's address was absorbing in its showing of the tremendous impetus of such an organization toward the Cliristianization of the world and as indicating he onward sweep of the Christian ideal. NOTES. One of the interesting features of the state convention is the display made by well known publishing and Sunday school supply houses in the audience-room of the church. Here you see extensive exhibits from all the well known houses, some of international reputation. Here you learn that there are weekly and monthly papers and magazines of enormous emulations, running up into the millions, all depending upon this clientele. An illustration of the vastness ct the ramifications of "The World's Greatest Syndicate" about which Dr. Fearce spoke yesterday afternoon. One of the exhibits shown in this I room is that of the Knights of the Holy Grail, an international organization similar in aim to the boy scout movement and with which it is affiliated. Dr. Perry E. Powell, its originator, end who is in charge of the exhibit made in this city, states. "This movement was originated eleven years ago, and has now spread into all the states of this country, to Japan and South America. The three ranks are Pages of the Holy Grail, for the boy twelve to fifteen years; and the Knights of the Holy Grail, for the young man. from fifteen to about thirty years. It is the cn)y brotherhood that gets the young man. It stands by the side of the Young Men's Christian Association ind is as well indorsed. "It is an incorporated body and has 'tp own rituals, charters, books, mem-1 l"-sbip cards, etc.. and has over 60.000 i members in the United States. It has a membership of nine hundred young lien in Indianapolis, an average of 90 to a church and is doing the largest young men's work in Indianapolis not excepting the Y. M. C. A." There will be a camp of the order at Bethany Park, Indiana, August second to twelfth. One of the interesting book displays is made by the Meigs Publishing Company, of Indianapolis, of which Mr. C. IX Meigs, the veteran Sunday school worker of this state is head. Mr. Meigs has long given his time and services to the Sunday school propaganda in Indiana without remuneration and is, at present, Superintendent of the Home Division. ' ...

SUNDAY SCHOOL IS

So You Find Out When Attending a Convention, Since It Is World-wide in Its Operations. Psychology of Audiences Very Interesting.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. An attendance upon any sort of a convention is enlightening. Why? Because yotj see there the concentration of a set of activities, which indicates a social condition. A social condition of which you may have little knowledge or previous comprehension. This is one reason that the professional frequenter of such assemblages as a reporter for a newspaper takes on rapidly a sophisticated understanding of things in the enBemble which is the marvel of his former confreres. A "cub" soon graduates into a star reporter, given certain educational and temperamental qualities, and gets a catholic viewpoint which his fraternity brother or classmate is years in acquiring, if he acquires it at all. Nothing is more interesting than an assemblage of human beings. Nothing more absorbing than watching the effects in the mass made on such a body. A theatre audience is no more malleable than a conclave of bishops. A convocation of brewers is as fine a sight in the swaying as a Sunday school convention. In any event you will see their speakers kneading them like a woman a pan of dough. It is trite to say that the psychology of an audience of whatever complexion is curious, unexplainable, fascinating. Like a child it is cometimes open, frank, pliable, ingenuous, easily led, impressionable, emotional temperamental. Again it is sullen, stubborn, apathetic, subtle, cold, stolid or cynical. A speaker has an advantage over an actor in that he can take an inventory dkectly over the edge of the platform. Peing the one performer, centering tb? interest, focussing all eyes and concentrating the attention he can, if he be either canny or trained or both, play on his hearers like a musician his instrument. There are eccasional instances of pure genius where the speaker possesses neither acumen, preparation or canniness but grips through the force of personality or a mysterious talent. Ordinarily however, the averi age addressor has attained sophisticaj tion through a long and severe initi ate. But the actor talks into the dark. He neither sees or is able to determine his effects save through an occult knoweldge born of the practice of his art. That is the reason you sometimes notice that the lights are not turned out in the auditorium. Some actors, mainly comedians or burlesque performers, or presenters of broad farce, request that the lights be turned on. They thjen are able to visually take stock of the audience atid their influence on it and play it accordingly with any tactical acumen they may possess. This is one phase of an asemblage formed for a common object and the discussion of a common interest. But the greatest effect made on the outsider is the new vista it opens up. You are able to see, through this medium, the complexities of the social fabric.

GREAT SYNDICATE

The Sunday school convention now under way in this city, In instance. To the average person not affecting church services this will be a revelation. Here, as one of the speakers calls it, is one of the greatest syndicates in the world. " The Sunday school nowadays is a training school for life. Not theoretically but practically. Its manipulation has been reduced to a system and its teachings to a science. It has its text-books, its artists, its publishers, its own literature, its papers and its magazines. Some of the latter of which, as referred to elsewhere, with weekly and monthly circulations that go into the millions. A publication the rank and file has no cognizance of. And yet which can play to an audience of 30,000,000 people. The Sunday school is no longer a mushy sort of place where resort the sissy men and the left-overs among the women, there to recite the Golden text and make plans for the annual picnic. But a unit in a world scheme for the Christianization of humanity. If the Sunday school were perfect in every part this would soon be accomplished for its principal activities are concerned with humanity in its formative and plastic period. If, therefore, its manipulations were in their ideal state, the spirit of Christ would prevail in one generation. It must take into consideration, however, an avalanche of human error which slides down the ages with increasing momentum. A momentum that becomes greater as it gets nearer the bottom. But when that is reached then the equalizing forces will have an inning. It is toward this state that the promoters of the Sunday school syndicate are directing their energies. For this end that they are formulating and molding and licking into shape. Christianity is, after all, the greatest fact in human history. And the impetus of its spirit the leaven which will finally leaven the whole lump. The disinterested labors of those who are engaged in forwarding one of its by-products, the Sunday school, and their altrurlan spirit, touch the heart and appeal to the imagination. And fire with the determination to see every little child put within the purlieus of its ministrations.

BRYAN

RYAN ET AL BALTIMORE, June 28. William Jennings Bryan threw the Democratic mtional convention into a turmoil immediately after it convened last night by demanding the repudiation of J. Fierpont Morgan. August Belmont end Thomas F. Ryan by the Democratic party. In a sensational debate the Nebraskan called on a suspesion of the rules for a vote on his resolution and the convention approved the motion. A two-thirds majority was necessary for the suspension of the rules. The Anal ote on the resolution was: Ayes, 889; Noes, 196; not voting, 2; absent, 1. Mr. Bryan's resolution originally called upon the convention to oust Messrs. Belmont and Ryan, delegates from New York and Virginia, respectively, from the hall, but he receded from this stand at the indignant protest of delegates from Virginia. Hisses catcalls and boos mingled with cheers for Bryan during the sensational fight. Vote Clearly For Bryan. The resolution roll call was taken in the midst of the utmost confusion. At first there was appareptly much opposition to Bryan's demand. The secretary suddenly called out of their regular order the states of Virginia and New York. Virginia, of which Mr. Ryrn is a delegate, voted 22 H to Vz in fnvor of the suspension of the rules ana New York cast its ninety votes solidly for the proposal. That, turned the tide and the vote thereafter was practically unanimous in favor of the resolution. At the conclusion of the roll call on resolution, Mr. Bryan had the following to say in regard thereto: "This vote eliminates all of the reactionaries and we can now proceed to the electon of a progressive, put him on a progressive platform and go out End win. There are some things which I think it would be wise for the candidate to do, but they need not be announced until his nomination. Urged by the generally distributed Information that the nomination of a presidential candidate would be made before the convention adjourned, crowds of spectators began to file into the convention hall early. By 7:30, half an hour before the hour fixed for the session, the galleries and the guests seats on the floor were filled and the spectators were beginning to crowd tiie aisles. William J. Bryan entered the convention hall shortly before 8 o'clock and as he made his way to the rear of the platform was cheered again and again. Mrs. Taft arrived soon after Mr. Bryan and went to the place reserved for her. The band played "The StarSpangled Banner." At 8 o'clock all the doors of the armory were ordered closed by the police. Admission to the galleries, which i.T temporary structures, was denied after that hour. Many ticket holders oitside the armory clamored in vain for admission. Senator La Follette was present at the night session, sitting among the newspaper men. Chairman James called the convention to order at 8:13 p. n:. and the Rev. J. Ross Stevenson of Brown Memorial Church. Baltimore, effered prayer. The prayer concluded. United States Senator Smith of South Carolina proII You Make No Effort to Assist Nature?

tested that delegates were being kept out of the hall by the police. "It is an outrage on decency, he ttouted. There was much confusion. Chairman James directed the sergeant -alarms to see that delegates were admitted. Bryan Springs Surprise. Mr. Bryan here arose and addressed the chair. He was cheered, and then iprung a decided surprise by Introducing a resolution and asking for its im-n-tdiate consideration. Mr. Bryan read as follows: "Resolved. That in this crisis in our Party's career, and in our country's history, this convention sends greeting to the people of the United States, and assures them that the party of Jefferson and of Jackson is still the champion of popular government and equality before the law. "As proof of our fidelity to the people, we hereby declare ourselves opposed to the nomination of any candidate fcr President who is the representative of or under any obligation to J. Pierpent Morgan. Thomas F. Ryan. August Delmont or any other member of the 1 livilege-hunting and favor-seeking class; be it further "Resolved. That we demand the with tlrawal from this convention of any delegate or delegates constituting or representing the above named interests." The Xebraskan was interrupted by cheers several times during the readinn of the resolution. Mr. Bryan then began his argument lor the resolution.

"This is an extraordinary resolution but extraordinary conditions need extraordinary remedies." said Mr. Bryan. "We are now engaged in conducting a convention that will place before the "ountry the Democratic nominee and I assume that each delegate is here because he wants the nominee elected, und it is in order that we may advance the interests of our candidate that I introduce this resolution. "There are questions upon which we may assume the American people are informed," he continued, "and there is not a delegate in this convention who coes not know that an effort is being made right now to sell the Democratic T.irty into the bondage of the predatory interests Denounces Men Named. "It Is a most brazen, impudent and insolent attempt to make the nominee of this convention the bond-slave of the men who exploit the people of this country. He then denounced Messrs. Ryan, Belmont and Morgan as the men involved. The convention cheered the speaker to the echo. "Some one has suggested," continued Mr. Bryan, "that we have no right to discuss the delegates here." "I said it." interrupted Governor Gilchrist of Florida who remained on the platform. "I say." retorted Mr. Bryan, "that if these men are willing to insult 6,500,-(-00 people. Democrats ought to speak out against them and let them know v.re resent the insult. "I for one am not willing that Ryan and Beliriont should come here with their paid attorneys and seek. secret conferences with the managers of the party.
