followed these remarks up with deep
and heartfelt prayer for the outpouring Of
the Holy spirit upon each and all of the
meetings to be held. Mrs. Naylor in a
few choice words welcomed all the dele
gates to the hearts and homes of all the
good people OF Wichita, while Mr.. R. 2.

secretary respectively Of the Y. NJ. c. A,
welcomed them in behalf of that kindred
organization. Miss Luddington also
made short address in which she very feel
ingly expressed herself on the thought con-
tanned in Heb. ii, L The meeting closed by
singing the last verse OF lI6, Gospel
