Wheat has been injured to some
extent in quality by moisture. Chsngss

Norfolk Ledger: The speech lays
down the lines upon which the Demo-

Sunday schools. Rev. J. T. Mastin read
the first Of these, and delivered an adj
dress on Spirituality" that was calcu-
lated to do much good. He showed that
the great reason why we have so much
worldliness in the Church is that people

courtesies extended and TO the railroad
for reduction in fare. the congregation
sang God BE With You Till We Meet
Again" and the conference adjourned
sine die.
