are temples to the many gods
which the natives hold in great
reverence. Miss Wishart relat
ed an account of a great religious
fete of the natives as she had wit
messed 1t, IN which two millions
of people participated. One could
not but be strongly impressed by
the pitlableness of the ignorance
of these people displayed in their
worship of their priests. The
speaker made an earnest plea IN
behalf of these people, dwelling
on the responsibility of the en-
lighteded uations TO take to them
the gospel of the Lord Jesus
Christ, who alone can save them.
Miss Wishart closed her address
with some interesting personal
experience In the work. The au
dience counted it a rare treat to
hear these words from one so ex
perlenced and so competent to
tell of her knowledge of this IN
terestlng country and people.
The second speaker Mr.. Ian
des, after some well chosen re-
marks expressing his delight to
be with the convention and pay
ing pleasing tribute to the beau
ties of our mountains and valley,
spoke on the subject, "The Nam

which he placed unlimited value
on the Sunday school as a power
for bringing persons to Christ.

pleasant words won for HIM the
perfect attention of the entire au
dience.

by the choir and benedlctlon
pronounced by the Rev. Rice.
WEDNESDAY, A. M.
AT 7 o'clock on this morning SER
vice of prayer and song was held.
Considering the early hour of this SER
vice, the number present was com
mendable. The service was led by

The Superintendents' Conference,
next on the program, was short owing
to lack of time.
Mr.. Landes spoke on the subject of
Sunday School Management, giving
much that was clear and practical for
every school. He dwelt emphatically
on four essentials for every success
full Sunday school; promptness, or
der, program, and results. Every
school must begin on time, as a mat
ter of education to the pupils; no
school can accomplish spiritual good
for the pupils without order-an order
which must not be confused with still
ness; program adapted to the lesson
of the day will add to the interest al
ways; and then results will follow as
form of large numbers of young per-
sons deciding to stand for Christ and
His church.
Rev. Bryner of the M. E. church,
talked on the Grading of the Sunday
school, showing the benefits of the
grading by illustration of the advan.

plea for the continued attendance Of
adults upon the Sunday school.
