operators and they create a great
difference in the temperature of the
rooms during the hot weather. We
have also recently put in individual
electric motors with which to operate
our machinery, a separate one for
each press and for our type setting

memories Of our beautiful city and Of
the hospitality of the people. In the
Saturday sessions plans were adopted

make the coming year notable one
in Epworth League work in the
district. Sunday was day of in
SEPARATION. First was the love feast,
held on the court house lawn. AT the
morning worship, Rev. L. g. Lemon
preached an exceedingly strong and
helpful sermon on Some Funda-
mentals of the Christian Life. In
the afternoon. at the life work con-
ference, four young people publicly
declared their call to some form of
Christian activity. In the evening,
at the close of the winning sermon by
Rev. A. B. Bourquard, the leaguers
bowed in conservation at the altar of
the church. It was beautiful sight
and indicative of strong work for God
in their home leagues. Expressions
by some Of the delegates were that
it was not only the largest but also
the best convention held in recent
years.
