welcome, that for the ministers being
by Rev. Henry Baker, of the First M.

T. Manson, of this city. The responses
were by Bishop II. w. Warren and

and the leaders of the church. He
spoke spoke feelingly of the retirement
at the last general conference of sew

crisis in that country when the great
armies of Russia and Japan clash, and
disaster seems to threaten, their adj
vicd and wisdom are sought to lead
