The Best Kver.
I There Is no doubt about the ft

ence going down in church his- A
tory as the moat successful, in- A
terestlng and enthusiastic ses- A
ftion held by the Colorado con- A
ference in many years. The at- A
tendance at each and every ses- A
slon at each and every meeting, ft
has been great. In fact has been A
record breaking. The Interest ft
I has been keener than manifest- ft
ed in conference work in years A
The program is pronounced the A
best he has ever seen by Bishop ft
Warren, the entertainment of A
the ministers has been superb A
and In fact every other circum- ft
stance and condition goes tow- ft
ard proving that the conference A
of 1907, held in Grand Juuc- ft
tion, will be remembered as A
one of the greatest ever held ft
by the Colorado Methodists. ft

fourth lecture. , _ _ h
| His theme was ‘‘The Book of Jon- jj
ah.” The interpretation of that. Ln Bl
i many waye unique and wonderful .
i book or the Bible, Riven by the elo- w
! quent speaker, simply held the large 8|
audience enthralled. It was a dls
course and a discussion tthat is
rarely equaled and yet it was simply
a clear, emphatic aud beautiful ex- f
I»ositiou of truths.
The latter part of the afternoon
session was devoted to another con
ference on Evangelism Dr. C.
Allen of Denver, was the principal
speaker. His subject was “Evangel
ism and Special Meetings.” He held a
,the close attention of a large audience y
and his discussion was one of great a
value to all, especially to the minis- b
ters It was one of the best talks d
made this week. Dr. Allen is a very v
able man. . .. | 1

attention. It was a fine address, a
memorable talk.
It was certainly most fitting that
two such men as Bishop Warren and

part In the Inaugerat ion of tmal

fail, the man who was chairman of
the first Y. M. C. A. committee and
the man who first subscribed SI,OOO
to the fund and then raised his sub
scription to $1.600 —his son was
chosen to turn the first spade of earth
on the site of the lovely temple which
will stand for years to come us a bul
wark of safety for the young manhood
of Grand Junction and Mesa county.
It was a most auspicious moment,
and as the first spadeful of dirt was
turned by the hoy the great crowd
gave forth a great storm of applause.
Then Governor Buchtel. Bishop
Warren General Secretary House,
President Welles and many others
In turn lossened a spade full of the
dirt and the “ground breaking” was
at nn end.
The spade used, a new one, was
furnished by the L. Schmidt Hard

as a memento of the occasion.
Hundreds of visitors In tho city
to attend the conference were among
the great throng that gathered.
It was a most notable occasion.
