christian Hope appeared as a delegate to
represent the church in Denmark, though a
resident of the United States. The question
rose whether he could be admitted as he
was not a resident of Denmark. After dis
cussion it was agreed that properly chosen
delegate, whether resident of the country
represented or not, could be admitted.
POSSESSION OF CHURCH PROPERTY.
The next question considered was the best
manner of controlling and holding church
property, upon which long aud spirited
discussion arose, but finally the report of
the committee was taken up and passed by
sections and then as a whole.
The report of the committee on divorce
was called, when Chairman John Wise OF
Kansas said the food had interfered with
the deliberations of the committee but, he
promised to report during the meeting.
After this a question as to whether the
sisters should wear riding habits was taken
up, and the convention advised that no
superhuitles be worn.
The question of whether gold watches
could be worn was also taken up, and after
discussion it was decided that it
was cause for expulsion from the church.
1t was also decided that ATTENDANCE at

Der who uses tobacco can be chosen

munication to William E. Thompson of

mittee of the Conemaugh valley sufferers
My DEAR SIR-It is very agreeable official
duty to transmit to you by check on New York
the sum Of 81 219 for the benefit of the sufferers
by the melancholy disaster in Conemaugh val
ley. This amount comes from the individual
subscriptions of great many citizens of our
not large city, and testiies the uni
versal sympathy of all of us with our
fellow citizens of Johnstown and Conemaugh
valley Besides this money, there has been
sent on what we know as a South Carolina re-
lief train, containing stores of various kinds,
amounting, we conjecture, in value to the
fund of $780, Receive, l beg you, from me,
in behalf of all of citizens, assurance of our
most heartfelt sympathy. We know well that
gifts of this kind can do nothing to lessen, or
even relieve the grief naturally caused by such
an awful calamity, but it is great satisfaction
to ourselves to be able in this small way to
testify our participation in the feelings which
necessarily oppress you. Yours very truly.
