KNIGHTS OF LABOR ASSEMBLY.
Boston, Nov. ls.-It was business all
day and dance in the evening at the
general assembly OF the Knights OF
Labor yesterday. General Master
Workman John NJ. Parsons, of New
York, presided at the business session.
The greater part of the session was de-
voted to action on the report of the
committee on appeals and grievances.
The proposition of the United Mine
Workers of America to turn over that
body to the Knights of Labor, ~, OOC
miners, provided John Flannery, editor
of the Trade journal, was dropped
from the order, was received coolly as
the assembly seemed to doubt the
ability of the officials to make such a
stupendous transfer without the IL, 900
men having anything to say about it.

the indwelling and uplifting Christ
that has given this early effort
Its reproductive power but this very

The work of the early Christians
was to disseminate the new idea.
They accepted no heritage from the
past, and they used the means at
hand according to their light--a light
which fell through medium like
their own painted glass. A subsid-
iary but equally important office was
to educate the people to appreciate
pictures, and these two things define
the place of the early Chri stians in
the development of painting.
