Northfield

Northfield, Mass., synonym for Dwight L. Moody, gives shelter to one conference after another. Its most famous "General Conference" closed last week. Said one Jessie Donahue, acting as special correspondent of the Boston Transcript:

"Taken in connection with a locale such as Northfield offers, with its gently undulating stretches of greensward, its wooded hills and the blue mountain heights which rise in the distance, such a conference cannot but have a lasting value too great to be measured."

The Conference was opened by William R. Moody, son of the great Evangelist. Northfield, said he, unequivocally affirms the deity of the Nazarene.

Science was challenged by an English divine, John D. Jones. He preached on the text: They limited the Holy One of Israel. Now, said he, Science sets a limit to God's power, but: "I will set no limit to God's power. . . . Let us treat our big God in a big way."

Rev. Prof. Archibald T. Robertson, of Louisville, lectured seven times to preachers on the subject of preaching. He warned them against "rote, rut and rot."

Rev. Dr. John Gardner, of California, conducted a course on "Some of the Great Doctrines of the Christian Church, especially Sin and Redemption, from a Modern Point of View."

Another Britisher, J. Stuart Holden, Vicar of St. Paul's, London, preached a series on "Some Aspects of the Highway of Life"--an exposition of the immortal Corinthians I, Chapter XIII. To the young he said: "Don't be afraid of modern thought. There is infinitely more danger in modern thoughtlessness."
