ments of A. B. Chamberlin, on his
return from an investigation trip with
Mr.. Bechtel, to the effect that, Of all
the halls they had seen, the Boston
Symphony hall was best adapted to
Minneapolis purposes. The organ or
the Church of the Immaculate Con-

The discussion of the amusement
clause Of the church discipline was

Of indorsing the recommendation of
the committee that the category OF
certain specified amusements, includ-
ing dancing, card playing and theater
going should be removed from the
prohibitory list to the chapter OF spe-

eliminating specific catalogue of con-
demned amusementS and putting a
general statement into the chapter OF
special advices.
Memorials favoring the conso1ida-
ton of the publishing departments OF
the book concerns and the benev-
olences were passed.
Rev. J. e. Smith made an address
before the Congregational ministers
on Jonathan Edwards" whom he
classed as philosopher rather than
theologian.
The Baptist ministers listened to q

negative view for the unsayed man
because the essential characteristics
of the earnal mind and of the new

the possibility of the presence of any
spark of the divine nature in the I'm.

cised by some of the speakers.
