turned Friday night from the meeting

Of this great gathering, says Mr.. Trot-
ter. The convention furnished preach
ers for all the churches for a radius
of so miles during its meeting. Mr..

kon, the town fifteen miles from On
lahoma City from which large ship
ments of -four are made.
The plans for future work were all
pitched on a high, plane by the con-

place for the next convention.
New Mexico has heretofore been
occupied by both the Northern and

committed exclusively to the South
ern body.
