Excerpt from The Challenge of to-Day: The Message of the First State Convention of Methodist Men Held at Columbus, Ohio, March 17, 18, 19, 1915
No feature of the Convention was more striking and augurs larger things for practical results than the intense moral purpose of the men as evidenced by their attendance upon every service and their undivided attention to the matters in hand. One outside Observer, writing in the hope that the results would be embodied in book form, says But the book can never tell the Spirit of the meeting. Such order and quiet and harmony I have never seen in any public gathering. It was apparent from the beginning that the men had come there to serve the interests of the Kingdom, and that that purpose deepened in them with every advanc ing session was apparent to everybody. This was one of the most striking features of the great gathering. What shall it mean for the kingdom of God in Ohio and in the country at large if that intense purpose Shall be carried into every field represented by the ministers and laymen present? In no moment of the Convention was this intense moral purpose more manifest than in the closing moment when the challenge was thrown down to every man in the great body to accept an appointment as Jesus Christ's Man. When opportunity was given to respond, and almost before the last word was Spoken, the vast assemblage stood upon its feet. It was a glorious answer to a high summons, and will never be forgotten by any man who witnessed it. What will it mean for every interest of the Kingdom, for a new and stronger emphasis upon the spiritual valuations, for a more efficient social service, for an effective checking of the currents of evil which run through the life of the people, for the strengthening of the cause of all true and abiding reform, for the salvation of men, women, and little children, if God Shall give grace to every man of us to be Jesus Christ's Man for all coming time and in every relation ship of life?
May the Great Head of the Church who witnessed our vow graciously enable each of us faithfully to perform the same.
