J half hour.
The election of new officers resulted in
the choice of Rev. A. G. Sawin of Newton
for president: Rev. F. Rice of Augusta,
Secretary.
Rev. A. B. McCurdy of Fort Scott was
introduced and read an excellent paper,
subject, ''Doctrinal Unity of the Bible u
The unity of the many books by the many
authors of the Bible is proof of the in
spiration of the Scriptures. The doctrines
run through the book Various doctrines
were taken up-Being of God, unity OF
God, sin, redemption, salvation by faith
and passages given to show how they ap-
pear through the Word.
The next paper was by Rev. Claude
Kelley of Leavenworth. "The Minister
and the Times After speaking of the
ministry of the past he said that the pres
ent is characterized By marvellous intel
lectual activity" and he urged that the
pulpit must not be surpassed in knowl-
edge by the pen. The minister must adapt
himself to the changed condition of our
day. He must have KNOWLEDGE of the
word; lie must be loyal to the Bible, and,
above al things he must have piety.
Ministerial "reminiscences" was re-
sponded TO by Rev. J. Fulton, d. d. of
Mcpherson and Rev. I. J. Farley of Cliff
ton, who gave experiences of their work.
DR.. Fulton is one Of the oldest Baptist
minister in the pastorate of the state. He
began work in New York forty-nine years
ago. His first pastorate was At Rensselaer,
vile, where ne found debt OF 81, GOO.
Being young man he thought church
ought to pay its debts, so he went to work
and raised the money and paid the debt.

work in Illinois. Iowa, California and
Kansas. He is now erecting fine edifice
for the First Baptist church of McPher-
son, where he has been pastor eight years.

was led by Rev. M. Whitehead of To-
peka.
The first paper of the session was read
by Rev. E. p. Brand Of Atchison, subject,
"The Pastors Work in tho Moral and

paper on ''The Minister and Politics. 1.-THE
essayist held that the minister is citizen
and is privileged to become acquainted
