The balloon ascension with fire works
attachment, in the evening, was some-
thing of disappointment to the thous
ands who remained to see it, There
were fire works, TO be sure, but it was
the balloon itself which burned. The
fire works which were sent off from the
pond were very fine, and comprised a
number of new and unique designs.
AS was stated at the beginning of this
article, the celebration was a success,
for when Alma does undertake any
thing it has got to go. 1t is estimated
that more than 5000 people were here
on that day, and that our merchants
realized handsomely is evident, for
very conservative estimate places the
amount of money left in town by the
visitors at $6, 900.

in fifteen western states, from Ohio to
California, from Minnesota to Texas,
assembled on the shore of Lake Geneva,
Wisconsin. Michigan's delegation num-
bered thiTty-one. This was the sixth
annual conference held under the
direction of the College Department of
the International Committee of Young
Mems Christian Associations. The
purpose of these gatherings is to deepen
the spiritual life of college men and to
train them for leadership in organized
Christian work among their fellow
students.
The students dwell in tents at the
camp, but without any of the usual dis
comforts of camping. The lake is very
beautiful, nesting in valley nine
miles long by from one to two miles
wide, and lies from one hundred to two
hundred feet below the level of the
country around. The surrounding
hillsides are covered with groves,
chiefly of oak and hickory, delightfully."-
shady and cool. Many beautiful and
costly summer residences all around
the lake prove its popularity as a
fashionable summer resort.
The faculty of instructors and
speakers of the conference numbered
sixteen, among whom were Messrs.
Mott and Speer of the International
Committee; Drs. r. A. Torrey, Ii. A.
Johnston and w. w. White of Chicago;
and Messrs, Anderson, Williamson and
Burgess of Great Britain. With one
exception, DR.. TORY, they are all
young men, yet speakers of great spir-
itual power. Among the chief features
of the work, were platform meetings,
Bible classes, the missionary institute,
and presidential and life work confer
ence, discussing all phases of College
Association work. The afternoons
were devoted exclusively to recreation.
Excellent facilities were afforded for
boating, bathing and field sports.
The whole session of ten days was
by its depth of spiritual
power. Similar conferences are held
annually at Northfeld, Mass and
Knoxville, Tenn, the total attendance
reaching nearly one thousand. The
influence of the training given and
impressions made on these thousands
of college men from year to year, is
destined to be great and far reaching,
not only in the institutions they repre-
sent but throughout the world. 1t will
no doubt be encouraging to other
workers in the Lords vineyard to know
that there exists a movement of such
import. j. Il. NoRTHoN.
