PARIS. July I3.-The French Society
of Hypnology and Psychology, under
the presidency OF DR.. Jules Volsin. has
just held its annual meeting. when the
important question was discussed OF
backward children and abnormal adde's

Quite a large number OF distinguished
physicians and scientists spoke on the
subject, including M. Cascie and NJ.
Scie-To-Fo, a Chinese scientist, who
spoke OF the manner In which these sub
jects were dealt with in his country.
The most important communication.
however, was that of DR.. DOyens who
has studied this subject for many years
He declares that, contrary 10 the con
clusions OF some English and American
physicians, II Is absolutely useless 10

whom such operations can possibly have
any effect are children and young people
who are backward and lacking IN IN

formed. and has been with markedly
satisfactory reTults.
In some cases DR.. Doyen has in few
weeks after this operation noticed a

ISSOy SS1lou SuuI(u lNOlSS.
The Christian workers conference at
LaMoure this week was very success
full and a great inspiration to those
who were there. The speakers present
from outside the state were Revs.
R. N. Adams, D. D., home mission
field secretary for the northwest, Rev.
Otis G. Dale, pastor evangelist for
Minneapolis presbytery and Rev. Grant
Stroh of Warren, MINI. A similar
conference for Fargo presbytery begins
at Tower City today. Three others
will be held in the northern part of the
state.
The many friends of Rev. E. P.
Lawrence and family will be grieved
to learn of the death of Mrs. Gray.
For long time Mrs. Gray has had
weak heart and an attack of Indigestion
was too much for the struggling organ
which ceased to beat Saturday night at
1880. Our sympathy goes out to the
family in their bereavement.
The :.midweek service will he held
tonight at 7:3O, lesson, Numbers 2O:36.
Services will be held next Sunday at
the usual Ihours, 1O:45 and 7:3O. At
the evening service the pastor will
preach on the subject, "Too Small to
See Jesus" All are welcome.
