ton, six years ago, and remember the cor
dial manner in which we were received and
the royal entertainment extended to us,
the earnest words of the speaker were not
necessary to assure us that a similar greet
ing awaited us now; for the hospitality of
this queeny young city OF the prairies is
proverblal throughout the state--this city
famous for the refinement of her homes, the
enterprise OF her citizens, and the hearty
welcome her Christian people always extend
those who work in the Masters great cause.
Here, Mr. President, we can all stand on
one platform, though in carrying forward
the work of our various church organiza-
tions we may have our ecclesiastical differ
ences. In the glorious Sabbath school
work we are one III sympathy, one i'll hope,
and our efforts will be owned and blessed
by Him whom We call our King and Lord.
May His presence be with us in all our de-
alterations, and His Spirit direct our
words, our conclusions and our work.
Then it will be refreshing to us all
to meet together in our session.
Then we will be better fitted for the great
work Of training the dear children and
youth of our churches and committees, in
the Word which maketh wise into saliva.
ton.
In conclusion, allow me again, Mr. Pres
ident, in behalf of these Christian workers
from all parts OF our state, to express ouI
appreciation of the hearty welcome your
noble people have extended TO us, through
the brother who represented them on this
| suspicious occasion.
May our meeting together be mutually
pleasant and profitable in Christian fellow
ship, experience and work.
