ANNIVERSARIES.

pastors 10 make greater effort TO meet the
apportionment to their charges. Also that
upon examination of character the follow
ing question should be asked each preachers
"Have you taken all the collections required
by the discipline? If not, what have you
omitted ?"
The Sunday school anniversary occurred
at 2:30 this afternoon, Roy. Il. Marsh pre-
siding. Notwithstanding the rain, the au-
dience room was completely filled with the
little folks and their friends. Addresses
were made by Rev. j. II. Bond s. Palmer
and Chaplain McCabe. The singing by the
children was inspiring and the speaking
excellent, and the anniversary was sue
cess.
AT 7.30 p. m, was held the church ex-
tension anniversary, Rev J. L. King pre-
siding. Most earnest and enthusiastic adj
dresses were given by DR.. King and Chap
lam McCabe. The congregation was
crowded. Notwithstanding the large CON
tribution in the morning, the inevitable col
lection came again at the close of The ami
versary in behalf of the church extension
society.
SABBATH SERVICES.
Bright and beautiful the sunlight broke
forth in the stiffness of the Sabbath morn
ing and came streaming through our east
ern window shutters, shedding warmth and
JOY upon the earth, and bringing hope and
happiness TO many hearts. The rain yes
terday and evening both laid the dust in the
streets and caused anxiety in many minds
about the weather on the Sabbath. 1t has
been all that church-gOers could wish. 1t
has been improved by the people of Glen's
Falls and the regions round about. They
have crowded the church with unwonted
and uncomfortable congregations. The
packing process has been profitaby used
in condensing the most people possible INTO
given space. The Glen's Falls-ites seem
to be easily suited as TO sitting or standing
space, and are skillful at finding room for
one more.
THE CONFERENCE LOVE FEAST
at a. m, in charge of Rev. A. Wlther-
spoon, was wonderful meeting in de-
mOnstration of the divine spirit, and with
power. The spirited singing, the touching
testimonies, the fearful eyes, the Joyous
faces, the witnessing of the fathers, the oft
repeated, responsive "Amens." all con.
spired to increase the praises of the people,
and demonstrate the power of grace. Many
rich but brief testimonials were given. The
fathers of the conference seemed especially
hopeful and happy that grace had been
given them to see this day, and that the
young men are rising up to carry the gospel
tidings to the needy with fidelity in the pul
pit and in their pastoral work.
FAMILY RELIGION.
One of the most heart-touchipg things
OF the hour was the testimony of Rev. ID.
Il. Hubbard, who broke so many hearts to
tears as he told how happy he was. and
how full of heavenly hope, ard while he
was speaking in this Joyous strain, his
wife rose to her feet, and took up the tes-
timony of salvation as soon as he sat down.
While the mother was speaking, up rose
their son, who said as his mother sat down:
- think for the glory of God | ought to
be next cannot thank Him enough for
giving me such christian parents" Rev.
DIR. Nelson, agent of the Metho-
dist book concern of New York, told how
when n boy thirteen years old, he lost his
right arm, and while mourning in pain and
despair on his bed, his pious mother said to
him, ':Reuben, you might become chris
tan and be a Methodist minister" He
| said, "Never, no never, will | be Meth
odist minister" And then when he preach
| ed in his district school house, as he left
the door, his mother in tears threw her
| arms around his neck, saying "Reuben,
| D, no, I'll never he Methodist minister"
The effect of this testimony was over
whelming, melting away hearts with ten
| derness and many eyes to tears. Doubtless
more than one of these fathers spoke for
| the last time in conference love feast on
earth. May their mantles of faith fall on
| the young men of the conference.
BISHOP AMES'S SERMON
at 1890 o'clock was founded upon these
words 'And Daniel continued until the
third year of King Cyrus" 1t was an an
| alysis of Daniels character. 1t was clear,
| concise and logical rich in thought and
practical truths. 1t greatly pleased his au-
| dience, and edited and encouraged the
class of young men that were ordained
deacons at the close.

sided. Most excellent addresses were made

CURED another of those pleasant presenta-
| tions of the pastors to their presiding ell
| ders. Rev. j. M. Webster, presiding elder
of Cambridge district, received fine gold
watch from his preachers. Rev. Il. Wat
son made as happy a speech as we ever
heard on such an occasion. To Rev. MIR.
Webster he said "Your friends wished to

character, golden, open-faced, loving but
one face, and when once set right always
right" The recipient broke down in utter
establishment and tears, and said 81 can
