aud evil influences to capture soul.
There were some good subjects for dis

fully discussed. Talking is not always
discussing in direction. They are too

''Oi gee'd and Oh haw d and Oh COON alang'd;
Ny Efforts were splindid, but Oh niver Cow 4

songs by the children were good. Little

gave lively Bible talk. The next con-
vention was assigned to Ford in Septem-
