an hour and when the gavel finally de-
scended the hall was well filed There

had been generally known as leaders of
the regular Democratic party in years
gone by, and as these entered the ball,

an address covering the political ground
almost as carefully as ex-Gov. Flower
had. done. He was followed by John

morning. There being no regular session
of the convention in the evening, the
hall was given up to a mass meeting,
at which several noted speakers were

This boom was squelched in the morning
by the publication of the following cor

Elder Rose states that at the District
Conference in Garden City last week, the
ministers under his charge reported .
total of 672 conversions in the district
during the past season. This Is big
showing for the sparsely settled country
that comprises the district. This number
is the report OF one churh only-the NJ
E. church-and we have no doubt when
the other churches are heard the number
of conversions will be double thi:
number. In a previous issue we stated
the number of conversions was estimated
at 500 in the NJ. E. church, and al
official report shows the number to b.
greater. People who are manifesting 81
much concern about the second comm,
of Christ, can relieve themselves OF an!
further anxiety. Christ is already her
