THE BIBLE CONFERENCE.

THE BIBLE CONFERENCE.
Not to mention the spiritual
good the people who attended the
Bible conference. brought to a
close at the Presbyterian church
last night, may have derived,
there is one gain to the city of
Bemidji which all may realize and
participate in: From one to two
hundred visitors from outside
points in the state and the
country at large leave with a
better knowledge and apprecia-
ton of the beauties of Bemidji
summers, and the hospitality of
her people.
That the conference was a
success is a matter of as much
concern to those Indirectly inter-
ested, as to those directly con-
cerned. To one on the outside,
the ladies' of the church seem de-
serving of especial praise for
their invaluable work before and
during the meetings. The labor
of entertaining fell entirely on
them, and they arose to the oc.
casion in way that is worthy of
comment. Without their aid
the conference must have fallen
far short of what it was.
Nor would it be just to omit
the name of Rev. A. L. Hall Quest
of Blackjack. Rev. Hall-Quest
was a leading spirit in the conven.
ton and, as musical director, was
responsible for the success of
the meetings along musical lines.
His enthusiasm and advice were
also felt in various other direc-
tions. ... s.

that the rays seen by the left and right
eyes differ, and that If the head be

that the source Of the rays is not in the
