Ter, DIR. Fry and b. Kelly We missed
the familiar face Of Chaplain MeCabe
and with the face, Of course, his famil-
lar addresses on church extension and
for that matter ON any other subject
where he seems 10 be needed. The
chaplain is too busy east 10 come 10 us
this spring. so we do the best we can
without him.
We had with US the Kaw Valley Jubi-
leans, who sang number of melodies
with great spirit. Not having hal any
collection, it was now good time TO
take one TO aid in rebuilding the colur-
ed NJ. E. church at Wyandoite, IL r
which the Jubileans sing and $3.50
was raised.
This morning after prayer meeting
the conference opened promptly. Sew
-eral standing committees reported.
Among the changes of relation we
note A. K. johnson who was changed
from supernumerary to effective. We
are glad to see Bro. johnson again
ready for work.

lations.
C. E. McClintoek was located at his
own request.

A very interesting memorial service
was held at II -o'clock. The memoirs

Thus we stand as it were at the graves

we shall fall and go to our reward.
