to Keep Have and prayer by Rev. E. Hold
stock, the Bishop addressed the class and asked
the disciplinary questions, to which earnest assent
was given by the class. The Bishop urged that

to consecrate their children to God in baptism

church in coming years, so that they shall not
drift away to ruin. The young men were adj
mtted and elected to orders

MORE FRESH AIR FUNDS NEEDED.

Money is needed for THE TRIBUNE Fresh

season 1905 children have been sent out into
the country. During the torrid week just ended

narts of the State committees are daily sending
for more children. There is no difficulty in
placing all that can be dispatched Dut the
manager has taken advantage OIL tnls long
smell of hot weather to send away as many as
possible, and the result has been the exhaus-
ton of the funds on hand. The receipts 80 lar
have been $9,946, the expenditure has

becn used ND that it has been found necessary

the beginning of this week. Aid therefore Is
demanded without delay, and we trust that

ately responded to.
There has not for many years been sea-
