At $3.50 p. III. the Young Peoples
meeting was held ut the Temple. This
meeting was we'll attended by the older
men and women, as well as the young
ladies and gentlemen. The Temple was
crowded with enthusiastic people who
listened eagerly to the addresses, songs
and prayers.
Before the hour for the evening SER
mon had arrived the crowd gathered ut
the auditorium to listen 10 the delight
full song services.
Rev. Amos Johnson led in prayer, and
Prof. L. o. Excel sang solo entitled,
"The Old, Old Story is True" He pre-
faced it by saying that the song had n
story connected with it. 1t was written

directors ut the election held this alter
noon: ]. w. Bodley, N. w. Beck, O.
II. Snedeker, Geo. Miller, Thos. Finn,
Z. B. Dobbins, w. II. Chapman.
:, The amendment to tho constitution Of
the association was caryied by Il vote OF
II to 8. This makes an important
change. The presiding elder OF the dis
trict, who has heretofore been by virtue
OF his position er-o6iciO director OF the
meetings, was, to use common term,
turned down. The whole matter was
taken out OF his hands, and hereafter
committee of three ministers and three
laymen, to beappointedb by the directors,
will have full direction. This change
grows out OF the difference OF opinion
between the directors and the presiding
elderas to tho propriety of having open
gates on Sunday.
The Young Peoples Temple will be
dedicated this morning, after the morn
ing services. The dedicatory sermon
will DO preached by Rev. swindells at
