and closes on June 80. 1t embraces the
district ministerial convention, the Ep-

ary convention and mid-year exarlina-
tion of probationers in the conference.
A commendable program has been pre-
pared. We extract the following in
formation from the 'La Crosse District
Assembly Herald"
SPECIAL FEATURES.
A series of bible lectures will be Civ
en- by DIR. f. L. Eaton. 1t is not ne
cessary to speak of the lecturer, for he

been prepared for and delivered before
some of the largest assemblies in the
land and have everywhere been receiv-
ed with heartiest appreciation.
