Paris, had sent forward a communication which
had arrived Saturday afternoon, called ON Ne
James A. stokes;of the Executive Commit
tee, to read some parts Of the letter and the re-
port thus brought, to the convention. The let

ternal greetings of the Paris Association. and
exhibited to some extent the condition and
character of that organization. it's methods of
work and its conditions of membership being
shown to be much similar to those of the As
socations in this country. It is endeavoring
to do in Paris Just what the Young Mem

and cities of our land and the Provinces on
this continent.
