Whose powers have brought down sc

Where splendid scenes arrest the

And music sweet enchsnt the ear,
Where fit before the shining light
Fair forms to heart of man SO dear.
Where converse sweet enshrall the

Where smiles bewitching, live ard die
Where friends so loving meet and part
Where soft the lover heaves his sigh.
But far away, for miles and miles,
On wings which none but pure love
gives
Ny spirit few to drink the smiles
or her Who in it's bosom lives

ing and touching speech on his work in
that country.
At the afternoon session of the fourth
day a collection OF $7.46 was taken for
the Old Folks Home of Kansas City,
Mo, A very warm discussion arose as
to whether there should be o sepsra-
tion of tho females into o convention.
The discussion went on between the
leading sisters, but the brethren were
strongly in favor of the one conven-
ton, expressing themselves as being
unwilling to carry on the great work
by themselves; some declared that
they would not remain pastors il the
sisters should leave them.
The Committee on Divine Services
for Sunday reported. All the churches
of the city including some of the white
churches had their pulpits supplied BY
our ministers. Rev. w. Bishop John
