NEW BOARDS, ETC.
On motion, committee Of one from each
State was appointed to nominate new boards.
There was somewhat spicy discussion on
the question OF allowing committees to re-
tire during the hour for devotional exer-
cises.
The Convention voted to allow the COM
mittees to retire, but only two OF them did
so. The
DEVOTIONAL EXERCISES
were led by Rev. DR.. J. B. Hawthorne, OF
New York. He stated that, as the special
order of the day at IL O'Clock would be For
| eign Missions, it would be appropriate TO
make these exercises have special reference
to that work. He earnestly insisted that
. special prayer be made for this work, and
that, along with our prayers and money, we
should give our children to the cause.
Rev. DR.. j. C. Furman, OF South Caro-

touching incident Of the father OF our
Missionary Hartwell, who wrote to his son,
"Go, live, work, stay, and die in China
PRAYERS were offered by Drs. Williams OF
Baltimore, Howard OF Texas, and McDon"
aid OF Kentucky.
| The special order OF the day,
FOREIGN MISSIONS,
was then taken up.
Rev. r. L. Eaton offered resolution 10
the effect that the success OF the Foreign
Mission Board during the past year should
stimulate and encourage to yet greater zeal
and liberality.
Rev. DR.. j. C. Hiden, OF Greenville, S.
c., was then called out, and made COM
pact, incisive, telling speech.
He said that ii any outsider wanted 10
know the use Of the expenditure OF SO much
time, labor, and money in the foreign mis-
sion work the answer was at hand. Ii one
wanted to know aohdt good had been accom-.
piished potent results could be pointed out.
WHY, even as young q man as himself Fe-
membered the witicism of the brilliant John
M. Daniel, who, when the question OF send
