recommended for election as university
trustees to fill the vacancies in the class
whose term expires next year: Rev. DR.. +.
X. Ollie, Rev. S. G. Evans Jr., Rev. q. b.
Heacock, S. G. Holden, Rev. DR.. f. +.
Jewell, I. B. Hutchinson, Rev. DIR. Eli
McClish, E. ]. Norton, j. A. Percy Jr., |.
}. Truman. Rolla V. Watt and Rev. 7. IL.
Woodward. The committee further recon-
mended Rev, S. ]. H. Williams, William
Angwin and w. S. Bovard as conference
visitors to the San Jose college and the
Reys. Herbert Briggs, ]. f. Jenness and
W. II. Woodward as conference visitors to
the Napa college. 1t recommended further
that an effort be made to establish San
francisco college OF theology at the
earliest possible opportunity.
Speaking in explanation of the debt OF
the University of the Pacific DR.. Jewell
SAID that formerly it took all the interest
from endowment to pay the interest on the
DEBT, and that in consequence one source
OF the running expenses was cut off. The
amount raised during the last year on sub
scrlption, if all paid in, would be more
than sufficient TO cancel the old indebted
ness of $4,000. Last year, however, the
running expenses of the Napa college ex-
ceeded the revenues by $500 and the Col
lege Park institution ran behind 5000.
This years deficit for both colleges will be
only about $4,000. DR.. Jewell said that no
running expenses without assistance either
from endowments or subscriptions.
The Conference Ladies Aid Society held
its ad journed meeting this afternoon and
completed its business for this conference.
The secretary read reports from forty-three
societies in Northern California, with
total of $500 80 collected by them during
the year. 1t was decided to supply every
society with suitable printed blanks for
next year. in order to insure early and
complete reports at the conference OF tie
work done during the year. The Lea
cCnesses' Home was reported upon by COM
mittee. In substance the report was as
follows:
There is a successful home and training
school in San Francisco under the Woman's
Home Missionary Society, with Mrs. IT, Ida
Benson superintendent 1t has been in rented
quarters since last October. Four deaconesses

principally from the churches OF the City.
| During the year the Deaconesses and students
assisted the pastors of churches in San Fran
cisco, Berkeley, Alameda, Santa Clara, Stockton
and Santa Cruz, and made in all 10000 visits
to the sick, to strangers, and to Christians in
trouble. An industrial school numbering over
eighty has been kept successfully in operation.
The committee on Boys Brigade reported
that this institution had in some respects
been an annoyance to the church, and in
bar balT do n
that hereafter the Boys Brigade be organ
lied only where competent Christian lead
ership could be obtained.
The committee on Bible cause reported
that during the past year Al 900 families
had been visited and 5000 found without
a Bible, and that 200 families had been
supplied with Bibles. Sunday school
children had been given 1850 Bibles, other
individuals 5000. Three hundred ships
had been visited in San Francisco during
the past year and 100 sailors supplied
with Bibles Over II 900 Bibles had been
gratuitously supplied TO Sunday-schOOl
children in California and Nevada in the
last four years.
The following resolution was unani-
mously adopted at this evenings session
amid much applause:
WHEREAS, We believe the lotteries are the
fruitful source of gambling, cOrrupting the
public morals, creating vicious, abnormal
commercial integrity OF the State OF California,
tempting in the most insidious manner the
young men of our State from the path of up
rightness, degrading honest labor; that in it
self it is mere device of stealing and whole
sale thieving; that all good citizens should
unite TO stamp il out; therefore,
ReS0lued, That approve of the measures
taken by the POstotfice Department in eXclud-
ing all lottery business from United States
mails; that we also approve OF the recent steps
taken by the express companies in this State in
refusing to carry lottery supplies over their
lines
Resolred, further, that we congratulate the
stand it has taken in excluding from its
columns all matter pertaining to the nefarious
business. II. c. BENSON,
