in Kernstown."

a start of surprise.
And that unhung villain entered our
garden during the night and picked

An invitation to attend a river
party Wednesday afternoon wa
accepted by rising vote.
In the discussion Of the matter
of Christian education, which
was incidentally and accidentally
sprung, it was brought out thai
some Of the state officers of the
missionary society who are insist
ing on loyalty to church institu
tons, are patronizing state insti-
tutions instead of Southern Col
lege in educating their sons and
daughters. 1t was also shown
that some of the trustees Of
Southern College are patronizing
other church schools. IT was not
shown upon what ground the APP
parent disloyalty appears.
On adjournment, the confer
ence took recess until 80, when
Rev. w. G. Fletcher, commits
sioner Of education, addressed a
large audience on Christian Edu-
cation with special reference to
Southern College.
The attendance on the confer
ence is excellent, and the interest
in all Christian effort is manifest.
