[.Address before Laymen's Missionary Conference, San Francisco, California] ALadEA BAYS WITH J0H1 LIUIH %7 S. Hall i'oung February 23, 1916. Your fellow Californian, and one of the greatest of you, John Auir, was one of the most intensely religious men that I have ever met. His religion was not of the usual type in its outward display.
