Sunday Devotions.
Sunday was the great day of the con-
ference. By s. A. NJ. the house was
filled to begin the love feast, which
was conducted by Rev. NJ. Stahl of
Shelby. At the close of this meeting
the Bishop took the rostrum and
preached an able sermon from 1. John
and 4, every one that loveth is born
of God .and knoweth Him." The
Bishops theme was heart service. He
showed by many illustrations and much
reasoning that there is realm of the
mind and perfectly distinct realm of
the heart. That the complete Christian
is one who worships God with all his
heart and all his mind. At the close
of the service the deacons, who had
been elected, were ordained.
At 2:30 p. M. the memorial services
were held, at which time was read the
obituary notices of the preachers and
the preachers wifes who had died dur.

own habitation.'' 1t was a mastery
setting forth Of that part of Gods word.

York gave a missionary sermon. His
i object was to show how economically
our money was collected and how easilv
tits expended. This talk was one Of
the best given during the session. DIR.
Palmer, who is we'll known to western
audiences as a lecturer on the platform,
was at his best and his sermon had
many rhetorical flights.
