CONVENTION OF CONGREGATIONS
ALISTS.


The ninth triennal session OF the
national council of Congregational
churches will be held in Syracuse, n. ",
October 9-14 inclusive. II will be attended
by 400 or more of the leading divines,
educators and business men OF tie coun-
try embraced in that denomination, as
well as the fraternal delegates from Great
Britain, Canada and Australia. The last
council was held in Minneapolis in 1892,
and the first in Plymouth, Mass, in 1871.
The council exercises no legislative or
judicial authority, its object being mere
ly TO "foster their (the Congregational
churohes) substantial unity in doctrine,
polity and work; to consult upon the
common interest OF all the churches ana
their duties in the work of evangelical
tion; the united development of their
resources, and their relation TO all parts
OF the kingdom of Christ"
The delegates will be about equally
divided between ministers and laymen,
each delegate representing ten churches
OF his local association. There are also
delegates at large from each State, one
for each 10000 communicates. The
great missionary organizations of the
| church and the faculties OF theological
societies owing allegiance to it will also
be represented.
| The moderator of the last council was
Rev. ALoNzo ii. QUINT, ID. d., OF Boston.
A new moderator is elected at every
council. The other officers, who arc re-
elected and practically permanent, are:
Secretary, Rev. HENRY A. HAzEN, Bos-
ton; registrar, Rev. WILLIAM II. MOORE,
Hartford; treasurer, Rev. SAMUEL Ii.
TuURBER of Connecticut; and auditor,
DAVID N. CAMP OF Connecticut.
The chairman OF the committee in
charge oil this council is SAMUEL b.
CAPEN, the noted good government man
OF Boston.
Among the topics on which reports will
be made by the committees are capita
and labor, religious needs OF the army
and navy, Christian unity, prison reform
city evangeization, secret and socia
societies, marriage and divorce, temper
ance and Sabbath observance.
1t will be a great convention and pos
sibly our Congregationalist friends ma.
want to meet in Providence in 1898
though our local Baptist friends faile'
to bring their convention here.

THE st. LOUIS.

Eighty knots in 2iO minutes, an aver
age OF 20 miles an hour maintained for
four hours, was the speed called for from
the beautiful American liner to entitle her
to the generous subsidy as a mail carrier
and auxiliary cruiser under our laws.
The trial took place in the English
Channel yesterday, and the fine ship had
knots to spare. For four hours she aver
aged not less than % $40 knots an hour,
and the Stars and Stripes stood right out
straight as the big ship flew through
the Channel. The trial was successful
in every way.
The new American feet OF transatlan-
ic steamers, now comprising the st.
Louis, Paris, New YORK and st. Paul, is
an exceptionally fine quartet OF boats.
We shouldn't wonder II the 81. Louis or
the ST. Paul viii some day seize the trans
atlantic record. And, as auxiliary cruis-
ers torthe navy, they are a fine nucleus
to the feet that 'he future will build.

THE fearful and wonderful editing OF
the Providence morning newspaper was
so particularly well illustrated in today's
issue that we cannot forbear commenting
on it. Superficial glance discovers that not
less than three stories were told twice in
its voluminous columns. There were two
accounts OF the Democratic clam bake,
two accounts OF a story about an Odd
Fellows lodge, and two accounts about a
whale that was burned. The other day
we noticed how the fancy of The Journal
artist pictured valkyrie with all sail
spread "as she appeared at New York, "
when, as matter OF fact, the English
boat, taken in tow far out to sea, sur
prised the New Workers by coming in
under bare poles with all her cruising
canvas slowed away out of sight i'm an
other boat.
