In the evening devotional Services

Ogden, and Rev. Bascom, of Bingham,
after which Rev DR.. Payne. of New
York, secretary of the Methodist board
of education, delivered an address on
educational matters. Mr.. Payne, in the
course of his remarks, referred to the
growth and development of Methodist
educational institutions from the
founding OF Cokesburg college at
Chesapeake Bay, early in the present
century, until the present time, when
it has 90 colleges, 60 academies and high
schools, 100 mission schools and 20G
institutions of lower grades, giving in
in all to $4,000 pupils. Be
sides this over 100000 children are re-
ceiving instructions in $4,000 Methodist
Sunday schools.
The doctor advocated making \ the
school d medium of inst sue
ton and spiritual cultivation for gresen
people as well as for children. The
American woman has been discovered
and was taking her proper place in the
affairs of life, and the doctor thought
it was now time the American was
discovered and after graduating from
the Sunday school made an engine of
usefulness to the church and fitted for
a life of honor and credit.
