an address by Miss Mary Danforth,
formerly missionary in Japan. In the
evening the anniversary OF the Board of
Foreign Missions was observed, Rev. !.
M. Frost of St. Johnsbury, presiding,
and there was an address by Rev. F. B.
Fisher of Boston, pastor First Metho-
dist Episcopal church.
The annual temperance report was
presented by Rev. W. X. Davenport,
stating that the purpose OF the confer
ence was to take no backward step in
this cause, to do their utmost to secure
the enforcement of every law now on the
statute books, pledging to the regular
town. city, and county officials their ut
most cooperation in the work of pre-
venting all illegal selling, and securing
the arrest of all drunken persons peram-
| bulating the streets.
| They insist that the immediate and
supreme temperance duty of the hour
is to secure the repeal of the present local
| option liquor law and the substitution
therefor OF sane. sensible, upto-date,
statewide prohibition law.
Rev. E. A. Bishop made a spirited
appeal for Montpelier Seminary. Rev.
X. F. Lowe offered a resolution that an
assessment of $1,000 be levied to aid the
school until such time as the endow-
ment fund became available and it was
adopted. Rev. G. W. Hunt offered
resolution urging that funds pledged to
the seminary conditionally be released
from such pledge, and it was adopted.
An invitation from Hardvick to hold
the conference in that town next year
was accepted.
