BIBLE STUDY WORK Conference Yesterday Was Largely Attended—Interesting Talks Were Delivered by Rev. R. Ames Montgomery and Secretary.-••••.- "We do not look upon the boy of to day as a necessary nuisance out of which to make a man, as the people did twenty-five years ago," declared Fred S. Goodman of New York City, international secretary of the bible study department of the Young Men's Christian association in an address yesterday afternoon at the united con ference of church workers at the as sociation building. "Instead we find that he has power and presents an In fluence which was formerly unap preciated," continued the speaker. The address was entitled "What Can the Boys' Bible Class do for the Church?" The conference was well at tended yesterday afternoon and even ing by representatives of churches, Sunday schools,, brotherhoods, adult bible classes, boys' clubs and Y. M. C. A. workers. Well Known Bible Student. Fred Goodman is a specialist of bible study work. For more than twenty-live years he has been engaged in religious work for men and boys, and for eight years he has been secre tary for bible study work for the in ternational committee of the Young Men'3 Christian association of North America. He has held these confer ences for co-operation and efficiency in thirty-eight cities of this country and also in Great Britian. He is an ex cellent talker and his addresses yes terday were eagerly listened to. The conference continues over today and tomorrow. Mr. Goodman carries along with him numerous charts and photographs to Illustrate his lectures. The photographs show the great ad vancement of bible study among the men of the country. -V Rev. Montgomery Gave Talk. Ernest Daggett presided over the conference yesterday afternoon. ?Wfiat Can a Boys' Bible Class Do for a Boy?" was the subject of a short ad dress by Rev. Ames R. Montgomery of the First Presbyterian church. His address was very interesting. In opening he stated that one of the most important -things accomplished by a boys' bible class was to start the boy right. Another important. thing ac complished was the changing of his environments In school and public life. "The bible class gave the youth the right attitude," said the speaker, "and tells him what the bible is and gives him experience." The fourth reason assigned by the Rev. Mr. Montgomery was that it demanded from the hoy, obligations to his home, and the fifth, that It aided him In selecting good companions. Solved Men Problem. "What Can the Boys' Bible Class Do for the Church," was the subject of Mr. Goodman's theme. The speaker brought out that It gave the boy a worthy ideal of manhood and was the best way of winning the youngster to the church. It helped to solve the men problem and helped to develop a strong missionary spirit. Mr. Good man as an illustration told of eleven boys' bible classes at Grand Rapids, Mich., which were giving to foreign missions. Upon the completion of his talk a long discussion followed, in which Mr. Goodman answered all questions sub mitted. He quoted the remarks of a speaker who declared "there is no boy problem." "The only problem," asserted Mr. Goodman, "is securing the Tight kind of adult leadership. Bible study by boys is no longer a dream. Thousands of boys over the country are following regular graded courses of study which requires much work out of class." Points Out Seven Reasons. "A Modern Bible Study Policy— Things Fundamental," was the ad dresB of Mr. Goodman at the evening conference. At the outset he referred to the transition of the old style cf bible study to the new order of things. The readjustment he declared was never easy but painful, and that the changes were in methods and not in principles. From a wide survey of the bible the speaker gave the following seven reasons for the rapid and in creasing interest in the study of the bible: First—Profound and active convic tions as to the nature of the bible and the value in the development of in dividuals in church and natiiral life. Second—Organization devolves in telligent appreciation of difficulties in the way of discovery of men and money and system and wise use of these resources. Third—Increasing use of the bible by the plain average man. A demo tion and special training. Fourth—Adaptation of methods of different types for-men and boys, and different purposes. Fifth—Newer movement enters in an earnest desire to give every man a chance of the gospel of Christ. "Every men is a possible disciple of Christ. Sixth—The newer methods include projection of bible classes not only in churches, but the mines, factories, fire stations, railroad shops, etc. Seventh—In order to stir inertia put fresh vigor into the. church, attract attention of outsiders—such as a pro gram characterized by audacity.

The career of Master William Tog gard Keller, the youth from Farming ton, whom his former caretaker would send to the reform school, was short lived in the local home of the Amer icaji Home Finding association. The boy's career there while it laBted served only to impress the manage ment with his good qualities. This morning, accompanied by Rev. U. B. Smith, the head Of the association, he and another lad were taken to Eagle Grove where homes for each have been found on farms near that-.place. Rev. U. B. Smith- when asked about the boy whose induction into Ottumwl was unfavorable to his good name, showed the high standing in which he made himself felt by those in charge at the local institution. He stated that the boy is very .Intelligent and a per fect little gentleman. Those who at the court house a few days ago were impressed by the marked intelligence of the youth, and felt that he was being unfairly treated, are pleased with their success in having had him accepted by the local home. It will be remembered that this boy was said by Mrs. Jennie Ficktenmiller of Farm lngton, with whom he was making his home, to be incorrigible and possessed of an unusual degree of mean traits. Among those recited by his aocnser was that of driving another person's team around apportion of Farmington when sent to Sunday school. He stated that he was a nephew of the famous jockeys Tod and Bob Sloane and that he did some jockeying him self. Rev. U. B. Smith is hopeful that the home found for the boy will bring out the good qualities that he pos sesses and 1b confident that someone will secure a good boy in taking the lad. Y. M. C. A. NOTE8.
