valuable by the interchange Of views and
reciting experiences; make it a grand
spiritual uplift. NIr. Dadmun spoke rkEth
great force and fervor. and his eloquent
address, like that of Mr.. Maxeys. made
profound impression and seemed to en-
tlluse the Ieaguers with renewed zeal and
determination. -
Mr.. Maxey very earnestly impressed
the Importance Of d general recognition
Of the real objects for which the State
League Conferences are held. These
gatherings should be productive of great
ana practical good. The conference, he
declared, was not to be regarded as a
holiday, but that it was a spiritual gath
erng. Said he: 1.-The uplifting influences
of contact with Christian hearts in such
a gathering as the League Conference

ey's address was delivered with fervor
and greatly enjoyed.
