summer, lingering still, lends its charm to this unsurpassed Tennessee valley re- zion, and every finer feeling is inspired, as the hundreds of devout worshippers turn out from their homes today to crowd into the churches to hear the word cf God dispensed by members of the con ference.
 At all the churches. Methodist, Presby- terian. Baptist and Bible Christian, crowds thronged. The greatest fuss was at the Methodist church, filled to it's ut most capacity, to wait on the ministry of Bishop Galloway. Professor J. R. Grass head of the musical faculty of Athens Female college, presided at the organ and young ladies from the college constituted a special choir for the occa- sion; they being supplmented by H. B. Malone of Athens and D. c. McNutt, an Owenton student, as bassos, and Henry Blnford of Athens and Rev. A. J. Notes tine of the conference, as tenors. Father o. Hear Us," was sung by the choir. The bishop then announced the hymn, Come, Thou Almighty King

 Bishop Galloway read lessons from Ezekiel filth chapter and Mathew 7th chapter The text was taken from Eze- kiel filth chapter, 9th verse.
 Bishop Galloway Speaks.
 From this text, from the vision of the waters issuing from the temple, the bishop drew lessons typifyng the revelation of Gods power and glory and the ongong in triumph of the Christian church. It is significant that the waters issue from the altar and from the right side. God, through the church has poured upon the world the life giving stream of truth In comparing the sacredness of the obliga- tions of various orders and organizations. the bishop said, there are no obligations so sacred as those of the church.
 The text taught that truth comes not man-found, but God given. and the in- fuence of Christianity has always been characterized by the bestowment of bless ing upon everything that it touched.
 The man in the community who may scoff at religion, yet owes to Christianity the very blessings and possessions that he enjoys.
 It was a great sermon, thoroughly ap- preciated by the large audience of cultur- ed Athenians and visitors.
 Following the sermon, the ordination of deacons came. Those ordained being C. D. Brooks, J. II. Harris T. M Purcell, R. R. Hall, w. A. Hambrick, J. M. Best and H. M. Hurst

 Improvements at OWenton. It is understood that the board intends at an early date. to enterprise very sub stantial improvements at Owenton; and | in this direction quickened energies, great ly accelerated motion, and new combina- tions are expected to turn the vast posses into glorious esses.
