1t was impossible to have the even
ing service on account of the terrible
electric storm which came at that
time. The evening address was to
have been made by Rev. John A. Gee
Shipley, who for nearly score OF
years was a missionary in China. He
had addressed the conference in the
morning and it was a great disap-
pOintment to the leaguers to miss this
last address. The program was to
have been concluded with the
pledges for Africa Special and the
beautiful conservation service. The
meeting place of the conference for
next year was left open for later de-
cision.
