on the brain, produced molecular ac-

cause of states of consciousness. The
continuity of the states of conscious

Years passed. The man was old. His
senses were blunt and dim and unre-
sponsive. AS a consequence, his facul-
ties of thought and reason began to di-
minish, his memory to fail. His states
of consciousness, accordingly. became
less vivid. All this because the sense
organs found the brain molecules less
sensitive and so less responsive.
Finally, the senses failed to act: rea-

Of recommending limitation clause, pre-
venting assistance to churches costing more
than $4,000. BY the members of the Phila-

of the society, it was maintained that the
original purpose Of the society is being
rapidly departed from. The society was
formed for the purpose OF assisting needy
churches in poor localities, and particularly
in the frontier. In the report it was as
serted that, instead Of this laudable work,
several very costly churches have been
aided during the past four years, resulting
in great decrease in the number of needy
churches which have received help. Conse-
quently the board recommends to the Gen.
erai conference that strict limit be placed
so that no church costing over $4,000 shall
receive aid except IN the most extraordinary
cases. DR.. Neeley, of Philadelphia. started

favor OF the limitation. Bishop Hurst
