all the members of the conference will
contribute one per cent. of their sal
aries to the superannuated fund.
Rev Daniel Roberts, of Wagontown
Pa, in making his report said that he
had little to say, as times were SO hard
up his way that he was glad he was
living.
AT last nights session Bishop james
c. Wilmore, of Ontario, preached, ant

held.
When conference reassembled this
morning a praise service was led BY
Rev. w. J. Ryder, and devotional exer
cises were led by Rev. ]. l.. Hood.
The business session this morning
was given up almost entirely to tn
receiving of reports on the variou
churches Of the conference. The re
ports generally showed that notwith

Washington in his farewell address ad-
nonishes that the success of a republican
form of government depends largely unon
the education OF the people for as a stream
can rise no higher than its source, so
neither can government rise higher in
wisdom than its sovereign, which with us
is the people. Hence it is indeed true I'VE
