bishop breaches Sermon.
! Bishop Mcdowell preached the confer
ence sermon in the morning He pointed
out the fact that, the great thing which
the Bible shows is that Christ Is the re-
deemer of the world.
! Some people admire the Bible for the
fine system of human ethics it teaches;
others admire It from the literary stand
point, while still others read II for the
/ theology 1t teaches" said he, but all these
are only secondary to the great story of
redemption"
He also assailed the higher criticism of
the Scriptures
1T makes no difference whether there
was one Isaiah or two or forty. The great
thing is the doctrines which are recorded
under the name of that prophet"
The ordination of deacons and elders
took place at the morning service. At the
afternoon meeting the conservation of
deaconesses and memorial services for de-
ceased members was the order.
