AFTERNOON SESSION.

The afternoon devotional exercises were
conducted by Rev. 4. 81. Davies, after
which Mr.. Aiken proposed that the North
Deering parish, which had scnt delegates
to the present meeting, should he made
q member of the conferences. Tits mott on
was passed as we'll as one appropriating
SIS from the conference treasury for the
use OF the Abyssiniau church, whose
losses during the winter had been SO over
whelming. MIR. Sinyth as pastor OF the
church, greatly acknowledged the gene
rosity OF the conferences, ing. that al
though heir sorrow had been great, they
still hoped for victory in the future.
Deacon 4. b. Percy read carefully
prepared paper as to "what is the signiti-
canoe of the Lords supper" Mr.. Percy
dwelt upon the identity of the memorial
part of this sery ice in all the Christian
churches though differing somewhat in
certain ceremonies The speaker expert
enced something of the historic develop
ment of this ssrvioe, from the lower form
of the Jewish Passover, up to the more
spiritual Significance of the service as 1t
is known today, and concluded with an
earnest appeal TO all to realize the uplift
ing power of the sacrement.
MIR. wiison, the former venerable pastor
of the church, then conducted with great
solemnity and impressiveness the servicr
OF the Lords supper.
Then followed the reports from the
churches of East Baldwin, South Port
land, Ligonia, Woodfords. Free Church,
Falmouth. First Parish, Portland Second
Parish. Fourth Church. Bt thel, State
street, st. Lawrence. West End church,
Williston, Bethlehem, scandinavian
church, Standish Westbrook, Warren.
wiudham and Yarmouth by the respective
delegates all of which had word of1good
cheer TO offer.
1t unfortunately happened that MIR.
Rolin /. Hack was unable to be present
at the meeting, SO Mr.. Wright opened the
discussion of the question, lis the pr, s.
ent demand for worldly amusements im-
pairing the usefulness Of ChristiansY"
Mir. Wright stated that there could be no
doubt that there is great difference in
regard to this matter Of amutenenti dur
ing the past 20 years. From this the
speaker called attention to the fact that
the question was not whether the amuse-
ments were in themselves harmful:
but If they impaired their influence as
Christians. This is the result which Mr..
Wright felt was brought about with this
indulgence, for the influence of the
church is surely weakened thereby. Some

Irregular start, owing TO the fears among
room bulls that the Investment public would
continue its liquidatng process, so prominent
yesterday afternoon. Initial sales showed a
decrease of points on some positions, while
others were scaled up with tho loan advance
of points with the market barely steady
in tone. 1t was soon concmsively shown
however, that commission house brokers had
almost no selling orders whatever. while
shorts were nervous inasmuch as the ornp
movement was not keeping UP with predc-
items and the Liverpool market had made
practically no response to our decline OF last
night. Before midday an advance OF several
points had been established and from that
time on the tendency was steadying inward
on feverish demands from the hear side and
nurries OF fresh buying, the latter chiefly ON
wall street account Naturally the conflict
ing war rumors in circulation aud the orratIc
action OF the stock market created feeling
OF unrest. But a strong bull crowd was
friendly TO higher prices. Bullish convic.

leading markets in the South that holders
