all Of the evening. Thsse We're only six
schools heard from-Schools seemed 10 be
very indifferent, or, wero too busy 10 bother
with 1t nevertheless, the meeting was unite
interesting, and there was some important
business transacted, besides the small but
nice and cheerfully given sum Of $1i as,
which will find its way through this conven-
tion, into foreign mission fields, that, per-
haps, would otherwise have been spent for
lghtncss.
There was noticeable absence of al of the
appointed speakers, except two, and as the
subjects were very important ones, IL was
thought best that they should be thoroughly
discussed, therefore that part Of the pro-
gramme was postponed until tho next meet
ing, and preaching was instituted instead,
alter other business was gotten through
with.
A section Of the constitution, which pro-
yided for the election of officers for one
meeting only was amended, 10 extend tho
official term of the officers Of the conv sntion
to one year.
On this amendment, Row. b. c. Lampley
made forcible speech, by way Of explana-
tion, saying that the convention was already
organized, and had been for several yearsA
and under the proposed amendment the offi-V
GERS of the body would have authority over
it, which they had not had before, only for
the time it was sitting. When the announce
mcnt on tho first dsy was male that this
resolution would be offered, there was con-
siderable objections, but after the explana-
tion the body was so completely satisfied that
there was not single dissenting vote.
The convention extended an invitation to
Rev. NJ. B. Kelly of the Methodist, and other
visiting brethren, to seats in the convention,
which was accepted by Brother Kelly.

lowing officers were elected for this meeting:
