siowly retraced thwir way to their
seat*. The Rev George Adam had
electrified the va-t audience of thou
sands.
Those who had preceded him had
been dealing with the academic is
sues of ail time The Rev. Mr
Adam came from close to the lives
of the thou.-ands of soldiers that
have been training In England, and
the only ls>ues they know- anything
about are the very issues of life and
death
"They have no time for creeds,
said Pastor Adam ’They are clos«
to life :n Its last analysis."
"And I want to say to you." he
continued, 'that had it not been for
the Y. M C. A, the first contingent
that arrived on Salisbury Plains
would have lost its morale aJ’.ogeth
er. I have been a preacher aoc not
very much of a Y. M. C. A man In
the past, but I want to tell you tha:

boat that brougnt me home, and >aid
to me; 'You may write anything jou

and its work for the British sol
diers ar.d I will sign It.' ”
And then ihe Rev Mr. Adam be
gan the favorite pastime of hack
ling th* church, for h* raised him
s*lf to full height on the platform
with 3.090 eager listeners straining
for his every word, and declared
with emphasis: “And this is because
the church has proved unequal *o
the task."
With complete and qu r s*ior.ne

DETROIT TIMES
v A I.- the beginning of the great
united church that Is tube
Th:.- t'aundian pastor had been
prevailed upon b) John R Mott, the
general -ecretary of the internation
al committee, to remain on tbta side
of (he ocean a few days longer than
he intended, to speak before this
i,rest gathering of the men of Amer
ica. Mr. Adam had come home on
the money raising mission to get
(’an ultan money to help along the Y.
M c' \. work in the British ranks.
"And I am going back with more
than $300,000," said he. while the
Grave armory rang with applause.
He closed thts address at near
midnight, with his 3.000 listeners
crying "Go on." and after he had
done everyone In the hall stood up
to do him honor, while handker
chief* waved throughout the big
building For full five minutes this
enthusiastic applause kept up. and
the little Canadian minister had to
stand to acknowledge the plaudits
of the audience
That was the first instance of the
“heckling of the church" that has
been done in the Y M. C. A meet
ings of the past two days. And It
hasn't all heckling, either. For
the very first speech of the set pro
gram was by the Rev. Dr. Gilkey.
of Chicago, who declared that the
T M C A is but a pgrt of the
cre.r ahurch universal, and could
not set itself above the church It
elf *n anv proper theory of Its ex
leer.. *' His contention was that
the church and the Y M C. A. ought
to work in harmony
But ihe very next morning the
convention quite unintentionally got
»a T o a debate about tbe evangelical
i?sue that has »o often caused trou
ble in the«e triennial gathering.-, and
or.e side contended for certain is
sues ar.d the other contended for a
mor* l.bera! construction, the while
the Rev. Mr. Adam sat quietly on
the stag* listening to the debate,
w hkh finally ended in a compromise
resolution that satisfied every bod)
Th*n secretary Mott asked that Mr
Adam be heard once more for It)
tninut*.a. j he was about to leave
the ci f > on his way back to Canada
end thence to the training Helds ot
Salisbury Plains.
An? ihe V-ay this man. who is
dealing with life in its la.-t analysis,
where pen have no time for thee*
or creed? or argument*—the
v-ay he waded tr.-o ’he arguments of
he !v minutes before that were
pur ly technical —brought the entire
rudience to tt3 t»-e' again In heartv
indv-- m.-nt of hi? ‘heckling’ of the
ere* d-=
"Wh;C no 'hey maf’er?" he cried
' What .’o the creed* mean to ihe
man facing the final Issue? of life’’
Wha to him are the sacrament* of
*he chirnh? Whai to him Is even
the resurrection itself? What to
him . 'he matter of his belief* *• He
ha? only time in deal with the thirg?
that he knov.s
"I-efs K*t rid nf all the erecds
I.er ? all get together on a basis o’
church union und unity that will
make ut> all brethren of the same
Uilh. on the things »e know,
uml not on what »r have got to tuk«
on the basis of belief."
Thu# thi# eloquent preacher, con
verted from the faith# to the gospel
of life, by contact with men by the
thousand facing the ultimate issues
of life, has secu the folly of denom
inations and creeds, and has had a
vision such as was described by the
prophet of old. who cried out to the
world In the old proverb that is
heard to this day: "Where there u»
no vision the people perish."
This great convention of the Y. M.
C. A. has seen the vision of n united
church, and It seems to be the Judg
ment of the mature mind# of the
couvention that unless the church
Itself sees the folly of division, and
Its bishops and leaders have the
vision to take the right way. the
laity will soon rise up and do It for
them.
But it was reserved for the
preacher—Rev. Mr. Adam—in this
convention to show them the fal
slty of the following of the creed#,
and point the necessity of getting
together.
Detroit and Michigan are well rep
resented at the convention by State
Chairman W. H Gay. of Grand Rap
ids; State Secretary Buell, of Do
trolt; Dr A. G. Studer. of Detroit.
,a* well as President Philip Gray,
of the Detroit association, and scores
of others from city and state Th*

‘Nobby’ Tread Tires
on World’s Record Car
World’s Transcontinental Automobile Record Run
From the Pacific to the Atlantic Broken by
Cannon Ball Baker in Cadillac, Equipped
With ‘Nobby’ Tread Tires —
Cannon Ball Baker arrived in New York yesterday (May 15th), re
ducing the world’s transcontinental record from 11 days, 7 hours
and 15 minutes to 7 days, 11 hours and 53 minutes, in a Cadillac car
equipped with United States “Nobby Tread” Tires.
Baker says “No other Tires would have stood the test.”
The superb showing made in this drastic, racking, real road tire test
proves the wisdom of the Cadillac company in regularly equipping
their cars with United States "Nobby Tread” Tires.
The Bull Dog grip of the knobs on “Nobby” Tread Tires and the
quantity of rubber on the tread are what give these “Aristocrats of
the Road” their continued supremacy.
