dale in the chair. One hour was spent as
signing delegates, during which lime be-
tween five hundred and six hundred re-
ported. BY o'clock every seat in the

Address cf welcome Oh behalf of the min
listers by Rev. A. b. Brewer, in which he
said: I'VE are here for graduation and
congratulation. AS said by your presi-
dent, the church must be upheld by the
arms of the younger members, such as
compose the Epworth League. We need
old men and old women for counsel, but
we need the strength of youth to reinvig-
crate. These are great factor IN the
great problem by which the unsaved may
be reached and brought to Christ. The
educated brain, it is said. only lies above
a consecrated heart"
Piano solo by Jessie Minnick.
The address of welcome, in behalf
of other denominations, delivered by
Rev. l.. A. Hall of the First Baptist church,
was one of he liveliest efforts of this eX-
ceediugly witty divine. 1t fairly dubbed
with wit, and was one of his happiest hits
since his brief sojourn in the city. There
was so much laughing and applause that
no stenographer present could steady
their physique long enough to take notes.
He spoke to the points of latitude. longi-
tude and altitude, and touched each point
in a happy manner. Organization was
another point. In which he said: "You
must organize Il man internally before you
can organizs him externally"
THE address in behalf of the leagues,
by Hon. w. L. Stanley, Was very fine.
aud fine encomium to young man
hood and womanhood. and the great
work Of the league in its eXalting type.
Here he gave an eloquent tribute to the
banner and eXhorted the ieaguers to exait
their banners high. The fight is not OILY
going on in the leagues of our church, but
over on this side in the Y. P. s. c. f of
the Baptist and other churches"
Solo by W. NJ. Shaver. Response in be-
