eration, to make it better, stronger and more prevailing than at present.
 One word about preaching. It must be an awakening ministry, if we are to have converted church. We send for patent right evangelist to come and stir up the neighborhood and then vote men into the church. This is a vicious, criminal work. Many times, Gods house is desecrated by infamous trash, the spontaneous gush poured out from the pulpit. The church can't live by that. We must hold before men their relations to God and to coming eternity. We must be true men, devoted wholly to the work of building this world back to glo- ry. This is the hungriest age you ever saw. Men, women and children are hun gry and crying for bread, but they don't come to church, for they know there is no food for them. Let us get our arms full of bread; let us bring it into the pull pits,-holy, living bread, the bread of Life. Then sinners will come and find that God has spread for them table in the wilderness
 AFTERNOON.
 In the absence of ex-Gov LounsbuTy, ex-Senator EbeneZer B. Hill of Norwalk addressed the conference in reference to Norwalk Methodism. Rev A. K. Sam ford of Peekskill, N. Y., spoke in ref erence to the life and character of his grandfather, Aaron Sanford, the first male member of the Methodist church in New England, who was born at Bedding in 175S. In 17S9 he was converted under the preaching of Jesse Lee and served the church as class leader, local preach. CT and deacon until February s, IS49 when the weary wheels of life stood still and the veteran of so many battles ant victories for God was gathered to his ia thers. Of his descendants, 9 are now in the pastorate of the Methodist church

The early part of Fridays session was occupied by representatives of several leading church reviews, each of whom asked a more liberal support for his pa per. Rev Dr Mendenhall, editor of the Methodist Bi-Monthly Review, spoke of the work which the Review had done in the past and of it's determination to dif- fuse sound, healthy literature in the years to come. ssYou want food to strengthen your spiritual natures and that is what you get in full measure in the columns of the Review. They who would get comfort out of doubt, rather than belief, are here; they who would make kindiing of the throne of grace and envelope the Deity in flames are here; rationalism is here Yale college is the seat of rationalism and many professors of Harvard, John Hopkins and similar institutions are radical rationaIists. Up to this time, we know of no Methodist minister, professor or editor who has gone adrift on the sea of rational ljsnl.

difficult question for me to decide. At any rate, your idea is a capital one and would suggest that you try the exper- iment.
 Prof Marcus D. Bull, representing the Boston school of theology, said that they had sent into the ministry 1900 men and have now in the school 130 students, 80 of whom are college graduates.
 Presiding Elder N. G. Cheney of New York East district reported as follows ]: The unity of Methodism is one of it's con- spicuous characteristics. We are one in faith, in teaching, in discipline and in the genius and methods of our work. What ever affects any one, affects all. A great sympathy enables us to weep with them that weep. The portfolio for this dis trict for the past year presents matter which every Methodist can easily appre- ciate. It has more of the pathetic and the heroic than can now be communicat- ed; it is romance of spiritual labors; a record of battles and triumphs and of sieges not yet fully ended; and is replete N91AOAA5 causes of congratulation and inspirations to prayer and heartiest praise to the Lord. It is not at all common place to give prominence to the discharge of lia- bilities and mortgages on local church property; for the payment of church debts means, on the part of the laity, self denial and, in some cases, true sacrifice and,on the minister's part, conviction and courage, with tact and plenty of hardest work. Of increased, improved and adorn- ed accommodations, the year has con spicuous report.

It is not the deluge but the dews that make the earth rejoice. As move through the hill country of my district and climb up it's rugged ways to little churches, well-kept and neat, perched snugly here and there almost out of sight, for the service of people hidden away in hardly discoverable plac- es thereabout, often think see, as peo- pie dwelling in the shadow of great churches never can, something like The dew of Hermon, the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion where the Lord commander the blessing, even life forevermore.

A Romance Ia High Life

A veritable surprise is caused in society
circles by the announcement of the we'd
ding of Miss Matilda Frelin9huysen, eld-
est daughter of the late secretary of state,
to Mr.. Winthrop Gray of New York city.
Tho ceremony took place at the Freling-
huysen mansion. Park place. The we'd
ding was a very al mple one, none outside
Of the immediate family being present.
The Rev. Mr.. Hart a former pastor OF the
North Reformed church, read the mar.
riage service. There is large amount of
romance attached to the whole affair. In
the first place, they we're in love with each
other years ago. Mr., Frelinghuysen was
opposed TO his daughter making such u
match, consequently the young couple
drifted apart. A few years afterward Mr..
Gray married miss Susan rravers, the
beautiful daughter of the late Wm. II.
Travers of New York This match brought
nothing but unhappiness. and the two we're
divorced Mrs Gray and her daughter
wen to Newport where they resided re-
Gently. The are now living in Paris. Mr..
Gray since the separation from his wife,
has lived In New York. and is one of the
most popular club men in that city 1t is
a well-known fact that Mrs FreinRhuysen
was very much opposed to- her daughter q
marriage to Mr.. Gray, aud this is presum
able the reason for the delay in the mar.
riage. Miss Frelinghuysen is handsome
and very clever lady. She was prominent
In society at Washington during the term
of the lste President Arthur, who had pro.
found respect and admiration for her.
While her father was secretary of state she
resigned as a society queen at the White
House. Had 1t not been for the death OF
President Athur she would have been the
bride OF the latter.
