ATTENDANCE.

Friday was the closing day of the
Assembly and in RESPECTS was the
choicest of the whole session. The
devotional spirit which was evident
in all OF the deliberations was excep
tional even in a meeting Of this char
acter and the impression made will
be carried Dy the several workers
back to their various fields of labor
and by them used in the extension
and nplift of their work.
The session of the morning opened
with a very helpful and instructive
paper GA The Church and Civil Life
by DR.. David M. Edwards of Penn
College. The round table discussion
was conducted by Rev. A. J. Hanson
of lie Grande and he was followed by
Others. The whole trend of the pap.
er and the discussion afterward seem
ed to lead out to a better condition
of public life. The church in civic af-
fairs has heretofore been too conserv.
alive and has not assumed the re-
sponsibility that they were entitled
to as Christian citizens.
and results are being reached now in
public life as never before. The Bible
Hour by Rev. George e. Guile was
on the subject THE Advent of Christ"
and in this talk, His second coming
was glowingly depicted. The Bible
Hour" during this assembly has been
one of unusual blessing and benefit
to all. The scriptures have been pre-.
scented in a new light and to many
they will be read and studied with a
new light and a new interest. Rev
Guile is an unusual teacher and ex.
positor of the Bible and his visit to
Oskaloosa has been a delight to all
