The East Liverpool Presbyterian
churches accomplished wonders in II
financial way during the past year. One
church society earned $1,000 and an
other nearly $1,000. The Dennison So
ciety will light the church with cleo
tricity. The Methodist Protestant at
Mt. Pleasant is only seven months old.
Toronto, Wellsville, Dennison, East
Liverpool and Bellaire, all wanted the
convention next year. Toronto re-
ceived the greatest number OF votes and
will get it.
Letters were read from the old officers
unable to attend, and wishing the Union
success.
The essay Of Miss Lizzie Garyin, OF
Toronto, "How to Interest and Regain
Lost Members" was very able. The
writer took the highest possible ground
in showing how to bring them back.
The discussion, Loyalty to the
Pledge" was opened very ably bv Rev.
w, II, Lowry, OF WellsvilIe, Those who
took part in this discussion were: Rev.
Hamilton, of Stcubcnyille; Rev. Stuart,
OF Steubcnville; Rev. hurry. of Toronto:
Rev. Charles O'NIera. of Martins Ferry !;
Mr.. ]. q. Barr, Of Bcllaire; Miss Nora
