proposition Of recommending to The
Legislature the appointment of reg

tiary. to be paid for by the state.
While some members of the union were
in favor OF it. there were a number
on the opposing side, who held that
it was an unhealthy mixing of church
and state. 4 resolution was finally
passed, providing ,sat each denomi-
nation appoint its own chaplain to
work among the converts, and that
nothing be asked from the Legisla-
ture for their support.
A resolution was adopted requesting
the Legislature to vote down the
Rison bill, stating that it was the
sentiment Of the ministers of the two
cities that the law, unless 1t could
be made more stringent, remain as at
present.
The following officers, elected at the
last meeting, were installed: Presi-
