OTHER BUSINESS.
A resolution was introduced to substitute
the word "bring' for the word ''restore" in
Art. of the constitution of the convention,
so it should read: ''We believe that there is
one God, whose nature is love, revealed in
our Lord Jesus Christ, by one Holy Spirit
of Grace, who will finally bring the whole
human family of mankind to holiness and
happiness" The word "restore" was con-
sidered to indicate @ relapse from that
condition of happiness which was previous
upon the table.
The committee on convention debt asked
to be, and was discharged. Moved and
seconded that the previous matter be taken
from the table for reference to committee.
Carried. The matter was accordingly re-
ferred to the board of trustees.
The convention rendered vote of thanks
to tbs president for the graceful manner in
which he had conducted the convention.
The balance of the day was devoted to
business of the convention.
In the evening religious services were con-
Quoted at the Church of the Redeemer. The
house was packed full with an audience
eager to hear the farewell sermon delivered
by Rev. Edwin O. Sweetzer, of Pennsylvania
Thus closed the convention, and to-day dele
gates will take their departure, many of them
never to ste Minneapolis again. Should
those who have met at the convention from
the remote parts Of the union never meet
again they will always hold the convention
In pleasant remembrance.
