did likewise. but the present plan

Banding followed more closely the
letter of the law, his predecessor

many impracticable. and a change in
the ordinances is likely to be pro-

outlining the aim of the union, pre-
pared by Miss Blanch Emery, was
read by VIM. j. Taylor. The Junior
union gave an exercise showing the
nature of it's work.
The pastor called attention to the
unification of the Baptist young peo-
pie. There are over 5000 900 Bap-
lists in America and they have
organized an average of three new
churches for every day in the year
for the past ten years. There are
