to him. he appeared to note carefully the flying texts

L. Willard, and General Fisks discerning eye subse-
quently detected the Of the g.
Macarthur, of the Calvary Baptist Church, among tho
interested auditors Of the Conference. and invited him
to seat In his box with Mr.. Shepard The audience

unagging interest In the proceedings throughout
the session The aislcs and the entrances were all
filed with spectators and tho seats In the gallery wero
all occupied
Eshpp Foss made determined effort to restrain
the applause of the delegates and the audience but
not with marked success. He admitted that there
might be involuntary movement Of the muscles Of
tho face In laughter approval when the feelings
were touched. but he thought that an inyountarv
spasm Of the muscles of the resulting in cappng
