CONVENTION IS CLOSED
MISSIONARY MEETING ENDS WITH
LECTURE BY DR.. GAMEWEIL ON
s'SIEGE OF PEKING.

The interstate Methodist missionary
convention drew to a successful close
at Wesley church last evening, the
event Of the final session being an ad-
dress by Dr.: F. D. Gamewell on "The
Siege of Peking.'
Mr.. Gamewell was in charge of the
mission at Peking. Before entering
mission work he was educated as civil
engineer. At the time Of the siege the
British commander knowing this, asked
him to take charge Of the defensive
Notifications. This Mr.. Gamewell did
with great success. His tale of the
siege and its hardships was a fascinat-
ing recital listened to by an audience
which filled every pew in the large
church. The siege lasted ffty-six days,
at the end Of which time relief came.
The speaker interestingly described
the dreary, days when food grew scarce
and the Christians were forced to kill
their horses and eat them; of the nu-
merous messengers sent for help, but
killed on the way; Of the storm of bull
let's which constantly whizzed into the
city, and of the final long-delayed de-
liverance. Thru it all Mr.. Gamewel]
traced the guiding hand Of an all-wise
Providence.
Bishop E. G. Andrews presided at
the meeting. F. H. Sheets, who had
charge Of the arrangements for the con
vention, was given a vote Of thanks
and the Chautauqua salute by the en-
tire audience.
