one of his old time stirring ~discourses
Bishop Warren arrived on the nine
o'clock train Thursday morning, and the
conference proper was opened with the
Sacrament of the Lords Supper. The

the transaction of business. The after
noon session from 2 till 3 was devoted
to the observance of the Sunday School
Union and Tract Anniversary, and ad-
dresses were delivered by Rev. o. X.
Maynard and Rev. A. j. Cheseman.
