Then such selections from that great and extensive literature, the Bible, as will interpret Jesus and enforce His truth should be made. There were inter- spersed here and there solid chunks of wisdom, large and hopeful statements of christian truth, and earnest exhOrtatiOns to take, not man-made creeds, but the God inspired truths of the Bible for our spiritual guide.

The visitors expressed their hearty thanks for the generous hospital ity shown them, and with the benediction the second session was over. Everybody said over and over again what good meeting and what a lovely time we have had.
