and fittiDgly eulogized. and tribute to
their memory paid by the several speaAers
| Of the evening.
| During the afternoon the reports of the
| various Committees were presented. These
| included the reports oh education, on Sun
| day school union, OH missions, On assess
mcnts, on audits and the report from the
board OF education. All these reports
We're received and more or less discussed.
| The following resolution was Offered by
| the Rev. William H. Day, ID. d., OF Harris
| burg. secretary OF the conference, and
| unanimously adopted:
THANK JUSTICE HARLAN.
"Resolved. That this conference most
| heartily indorses and gratefully accepts
| the dissenting opinion OF MIR. Justice
Harlan OF the supreme court, in the recent
notable case before the United States
|
stitulionalty uf the epactments in various
| States assigning separate cars for peopc
! OF color. We are led again TO affirm
| that III the questions in which we have
been and are particularly interested, we
have III the trying hours Of our history
| found Oh the supreme bench the justice
| named seemingly our only fr!end.'
| The question of a Christian Endeavor
paper also occupied good deal OF the
delegates attention during the afterDoOTe
and the whole discussion finally was
brought down to the publication of the
Church TidiGgs. paper published IN this
/ city, acd the Advocate. published IN Phila-
I delphia. The discussion was with a view
, of consolidating the two publications, but
evidently without effect, for in the end the
! Philadelphia paper was adopted as the
organ of the Christian Endeavor AsSocia-
! ton Of the district covered by the Phila-
deiphia and Baltimore conference presided
over by the bishop, C. c. Petty.
