entertain the two hundred British CON
g~regationalists who are coming to the IN

Falls and be ready to return Immediately
the council adjourns. Receptions almost
without number are planned by Boston,

from New England, are by no means all
anti-expansionists, and a heated time is
not improbable. A matter which this

probable that the conference win estab-
fish a boys school, with the Rev. Theo-
dore c. Williams as head master.
