ercises engaged in until 7:3O D. m
The Convention was then address
ed by h s. Earl of Australia, upon
the subject: Australia aud our Bible
work there" The address was lis
tened to with profound attention, and
proved of great interest to all.
At the conclusion of the address
the thrilling old song, "On Jordan's
stormy banks stand" was sung, du-
ring which the members took leave of
each other by shaking hands. 1t was
a scene to be remembered. It's i'm
press Will remain on the hearts of
many for years.
After an earnest prayer by II. S.
Earl, the Convention dispersed.
