PROMINENT MINISTER'S PRESENT.
List of Ministers Present-Program
For Balance of Session.

On Tuesday ministers began to arriv
and the unusual mixture of clerical garb
among our busy little population wa
quite noticeable. But by Wednesda,
| evening they had taken the town, ant
then black frock coats and white necl
ties predominated. The preparation fo
, their reception was admirably conducted
| by those having it in charge, as no hitcl
occurred any where, and the visitors fttec
in as if they had always lived there. Or
Wednesday night the church was crowded
to listen to a powerful sermon by Rev
DIR. Smith, Missionary Secretary. On
Thursday morning the opening of the
45th Annual Session was conducted by
Rev. Dr. Parsons-Bishop Foss not
having arrived on the scene until noon oi
that day.
