leave for the Hot Springs of Arkansas at once,

now damp and snowy. moderates. The inham-
matory rheumatism, which has been affecting
him for several weeks, is now in both legs his
right arm and his left shoulder so that he is al
most entirely disabled, and at times suffers in
tense pain. 1t has been growing worse for a
week. and the weather has doubtless aggravated
it. Twice day Professor Collins, a retired

asbestos mine in Virginia. and the substance is

day, Dec. IL, to take steps to organize the tenn

of continued aggressive movement against the

appropriate and imposing ceremonies. The

was followed by the opening hymn,
prayer, anthem, Scripture lesson, and hymn.

venerable Bishop Thomas Bowman, of ST. Louis.

and was very effective in paving the way for the
subsequent work of lifting the debt of

The congregation responded generously to the
Bishops appeal to ''ay their all on the altar
and when the columns were cast up at the close
of the canvass the footings showed over Sc, 500.
In the evening additional collection was
taken which swelled the receipts and subscrip-
tons to over $1,000. At both morning and
evening services the house was crowded

the most intensely interesting character. The
fact that Bishop Bowman had dedicated the first
