members of the Conference assembled in
the body of the Church. The brilliant
sunshine outside played upon the stained
glass windows and brought out
the full effects of the coloring.

plentifully in the audience was a
number of women. whose voices,
blending with the stronger bass
and baritone of the men, made
the singing all the more beautiful. Taken
altogether the gathering was notable

stamped, with great individuality-aud d
earnest.

| ground and the erection of the Methodist
| University in Washington.
"Three years ago. said the speaker
"Banker Corcoran said he had a site for
the University. We rode around, look
| ing for a site and finally
found it on the upper end of Massachu

| by a wonderful accession of common
| sense, appropriated $4,000 to extene
| Massachusetts avenue to the Methodist
/ University"
