The annual session of the western

being the passing of a number of reso

The assignments for the coming

tire conference at the 0. c. W. were
spread upon the minute book OF the
conference there to remain a perma-
nent record of the sartiments of the
conference.
A fitting compliment to the good i'm
presslons created by the conference
upon the citizens of Chickasha was
the unprecedented and unexpected
ontpouring Of the people Of the Bap-
tist. Methodist, Christian and other
churches Sunday morning. Each
church overflowed with attendance,
even standing room being impossible
to secure minutes before the sermon
began. There is a general exodus Of
delegates for their homes today and
church work will so on with quick
ened pulse and higher aspirations as
a result OF this splendid week.
Rev. ]. A. Colds, who was appoint.

several years he filled some of the
most important stations, among which
