ton of the program was committed to

BUCHTEL COLLEGE.
DIR. o. Cone, President of Buchtel
College, in a business note. writes; "All
goes we'll here. Zeal and good work are
the order of the day.
A MISUNDERSTANDING
We find that there is widely extend
ed Misunderstanding, in regard to the
action of the State Missionary Alliance
concerning the increase of annual mem
bership fees. Many have the under
standing. that this was voted to take
effect at once. Such is not the case.
The vote was to submit the proposition
to increase the fee from seventy five
cents to one dollar for action at the next
meeting. The constitution requires that
notices of any proposed amendments to
it, shall be proposed one ear in advance.
We publish this statement, so that the
facts in the case may be fairly under
stood, and it will be seen that the whole
matter depends upon the action which
will be taken at the next State Alliance
meeting.
