CHURCH CONVENTION.
Another Days Session of the Kansas
Christian M citing.

Wednesdays afternoon session of the
Kansas Christian convention began at
1:30 o'clock by a devotional service of
80 minutes, conducted by Mr.. w. NJ.
Mayfeld. Following this the reports
of the various committees on the bible
schools were made and action taken
on them.
Instruction and helpful addresses
were delivered during the afternoon
bible school work, the following persons
leading on the program: w. T. Adam,
Chanute; w. W. Burke, Parsons; P. c.
Herbert, Burlington; J. R. Charlton,
Caney; and @. NJ. Sharpe of Lawrence.
At the conclusion of these addresses,
DR.. Knox p. Taylor of Bloomington,
Ill, delivered a lecture on Present
Day Bible School Problems DR.. Tay-
lor is a forcible talker and one of the
most noted bible school workers in
America. He said that the Sunday
schools ought to take higher ground,
make better plans and more definite
ends. The afternoon session closed with
a conference conducted by r. T. Wag-
goner of Kansas City, Mo.
The evening session was occupied by
two addresses. The first one was de-
livered by Rev. L. E. Sellers of En-
pOria. Mr.. Sellers ably discussed the
relations of parents and children, de-
veloping the thought that fatherhood
and motherhood are the child's inter-
probation of God. The address empha-
sized the need of consecrated woman
hood and Christian manhood in the
home and in the Sunday school. The
second address was delivered by DR..
Knox P. Taylor of Illinois, entitled
"The Bible and How to Teach IT, The
speaker used charts to emphasize the
chronology, geography and history of
the bible
This mornings session was like all
the previous ones, well attended and
every seat in the auditorium of the
church was filed. The session opened
with devotional services after which
Rev. F. f. Mallory of Topeka, made an
address, followed by the annual address
of the president, W. Chenault, of Fort
Scott. Mr.. Chenault is a prominent
business man of that place, and has
been at the head of the state boards
for many years.
State superintendent of Missions Rev.
o. L. Cook, of Topeka, made his report
for the year, showing that he had de-
HVered 267 sermons and addresses, and
that $4,150 had been raised for state
work. Twenty-four revivals had been
held, twenty-four new churches had
been organized, 1892 additions had been
added to the church, Seventy-six pas
torless churches had been supplied, and
the number of communicates reported
were 46, 600.
Following this report Rev. W. S.
Priest of Atchison delivered a forcible
address on Looking Forward" which
was attentiVely listened to.

ment is expected now at any time.
D. w. Eastman of EmpOria says he
was promised the position, but the poll

CroweH.
In these appointments the recon-

ator are followed. This was true when
Senator Baker recommended Morton
Albaugh for receiver of the First Ma
tiOnal bank at Emporia. The poll
ticians say the same rule will govern
in the AtchisOn case.
The leading politicians of the First
district have Joined in recommending
Mr.. CrOwelL Cyrus Leland, who has
been a warm friend of CrowelPs for
years has also added his endorsement
which is important because he has the
friendship of the comptroller of the
currency.
A story circulated today is to the
effect that Leland and Baker have en-
dOrsed Eastman. These men and East
man are good friends, but neither of
them has endorsed him for the receiver
ship. The request that CroweH be
named has been sent to Washington by
Mr.. Baker.

G. A. r. Criticises Pension De-

Evans Name Out.

Judge J. G. Wood offered the follow
ing resolution, which was unanimously
adopted by a standing vote.
Whereas, The administration of the
pension bureau becomes of the most
vital Importance to the rapidly depict
ing veterans and their dependents, and,
Whereas, We believe the present
conduct Of that bureau is contrary to
the spirit and intent of the pension
laws and consequently adverse to vet
Grams beneficiaries, and contrary to the
fundamental principles of interpreting
statute law, thus subjecting claimants
to demands in support of claims un-
heard of in judicial annals, therefore,
be it
Resolved, That we heartily endorse
the prompt action of Department Com
mander o. H. Coulter, and the able con-
duct of the western Veteran upon the
issues arising out of the current ad-
ministration of the pension bureau
Resolved, That we strongly endorse
the action of the Kansas delegation to
the 33rd national encampment of
the G. A. r. at Philadelphia; and un-
Qualif1edly approve the report and res
OlutiOn of the permanent pension COM
mittee of the said encampment, which
sustained each and every contention of
our state encampment.
Resolved, That we, who VIGOROUSLY
ran the gauntlet of fire and sword
forced upon US by the enemy of a high
er sivilization, repose supreme conf
dence in the ability and fidelity of COM
mander-i in chief, Albert D. Shaw, and
rely upon his Jealous determine ton to
carry out the letter and spirit of the
report and the accompanying resolu-
tins of the national encampment based
upon the earnest demands of our COM
rades in behalf of themselves and their
dependents, who daily suffer from the
cruel and oppressive administration of
the pension bureau.
Resolved, That a copy of these reso-
1utions be published in the Kansas
State Journal, Daily Capital, Western
Veteran, and the National Tribune, and
that Department Commander O. H
Coulter, is hereby requested to send a
certified copy to commander-in-chief
Albert d. Shaw.
