| THURSDAYS SESSIONS.
The fOrtieth annual convention of
| the Michigan State Sunday School AS
ISOLATION closed its labors at the Bap-
, fist church last evening. Asat every
! other meeting there was large at
i tendance, although not so large as
/ Wednesday night. for every one last
! evening was comfortably seated. Many

for home but almost corresponding
ly large number Of OwOsso people
turned out in their places.

cess there cannot be the slightest
doubt. The foreign attendance was a
little disappointing as there were
something less than 600 delegates in
attendance from outside the county.
when about 1000 were expected.
Those who came, however, have moth
ing but kind words to say of their en-
tertainment and of the convention
program. Owosso people, too, are
glad the convention was held here.
We entertained many guests. and the
general feeling is that we entertained
! them well.
Last nights services were begun by
song service. Prof. Excel led as
brilliantly as ever and the singing was
very enjoyable.
After bible reading, Prof. Quincy,
who presided, introduced Hon. e. K.
Warren, of Three Oaks, chairman of
the new executive committee. Mr..
Warren said that he voiced the senti--

clared that they had never been better
entertained than by the people of
Owosso. "There may be something
lacking to make our visit perfect" he
said, "but If there is, assure you we
haven't been sharp enough to discover
it,"
Mr.. Warren, in the name of the ex-
ecutive committee, heartily thanked
the OwoSso people for their coopera-
tion and praised the newspapers for
help extended during the convention.
The report of the enrolment COM
mittee was then presented and was
