and achievements of our country.
This is q commercial age and civ
ilization is bearing it's most golden
fruit in America. We are noted for
our industrial achievements as Egypt
was noted for her pyramids; Jerusa-
lem for her religion; Greece for her
art; Phoenicia for her fleets; Chaldea
for her astronomy and Rome for her
laws. Likewise we have men who will
go down in the worlds history as pow
erful products of their age. For, stand
ing at the source of every gigantic
movement that sways civilization is a
great man. The greatest minds travel
in the greatest direction and the conn.,
mercial geniuses Of this age would
have been the sculptors, poets, phil
osophers, architects, and artists of
earlier civilizations.

cepting a very few, the entire

Blue, who proved himself to be
an excellent presiding officer,
transacting the business of the
conference in a careful and
pleasing manner. Excellent re-
ports were heard from all the
charges in the district, and from
them it seems that the churches
are in a more spiritual condi-
tion than previously, as there
appears to be a general revival
spirit pervading the whole dis
trict. T.

member of the conference board
of missions, was present and
preached an eloquent sermon
on the missionary cause Friday
at the eleven o'clock service.

the assemblage during the Fri
day morning session. Saturday
morning Rev. Fred B. Cox, of
AlgoOd, delivered a very soul
searching sermon on Hunger
ing and Thirsting After Right
eousness. Saturday night Rev.
s. M. Ensor preached a very
helpful and inspiring sermon,
especially SO to the young peo-
pie; his subject was Man, the
Crown of Creation. Rev. B.L.
Lyle, of Lebanon, preached a
great revival sermon Sunday
morning to the largest congre-
cation of the conference.
A feature of this conference
was the singing by the quartet
composed of the Ensor brothers
(Dow, John and Simon) andW.
M. Lantrip of Livingston.
Five young men having been
recommended by their various
quarterly conferences, were
granted license to preach.
Taken all in all this was a
splendid session and the good
people of Elmwood certainly en-
tertained the preachers and del
egates in a royal manner, and
attended the services in large
numbers.
The next session will be held
at Algood in the early summer
next year.
