AFTERNOON SESSION
Rev. S. J. Porter conducted the de-
VOtiOnal service, which opened the
afternoon session. In his remarks he
emphasized the fact that in every
life there comes the time when the
individual must stand alone so far as
human aid is concerned, and must
lean only upon God, showing that in
the Garden of Gethsemane that time
came to Jesus himself, this fact EN-.
phasizing the need realizing the all.
suff1ciency of Gods sustaining power
The business session of the after

with the consideration of Sunday

is now in a better condition than a.
