briefly on mission study, mentioned
several new books on that subject, and
closed with an illustr alton used by
Mr.. Stone of Rutland, of a baseball
game where but few could be on the
field, but many were near to cheer
and encourage them.
Rev. ]. J. Williams of Newport was
unable to preside over the Officers
of Irasburg filled the chair very accept
ably. The discussion brought out
several interesting facts. We need
conference at the beginning of a term
of office between new and old officers,
encouragement to the timid ones and
best of all, broad minded consecrated

new members of ten thousand new
