one of the most successful meetings in
the history of the society, has closed,
and most of the delegates will devote
the rest Of the week to sightseeing in
Boston and vicinity. The day opened
with an overcast sky, but it soon cleared
considerably and permitted the warm
ing rays Of the sun to temper the chilly
east wind.
The services of the day had deeper
religious feeling than any that have
been held since the first day of the con-
venSion, probably due to the subsiding
of the excitement of the opening days
| and the impressive character of the
exercises.

thought in all the score or more of
prayer meetings that began at $50 and
was in fact the prin cipal subject of the
| day. The attendance of all the morn

last week. The address of President

lowed by his great audience with close
attention. President Warfeld's ad

and such things; but now Roscher, one
of the foremost economists, pronounces
man himself the beginning and the
end of economic science and Europe
and America echo the thought. Col.
eridge said that property was the grand
basis of government, but we are far be-
You'd that and know that men are the
grand basis, and property is merely an
attachment of personality. The aim
now is to make the men something.,'
