the opinion of some Of the delegates
she best ever held in this part OF the
state. y
About 1875 delegates and visitors
from the Methodist and Congregations

This number together with those from
Hanska and the surrounding country

its capacity, so that it seemed an over

experience in connection with Sunday

some things that can be done by the
Sunday Schools of our community
through the cooperation of the Sunday
School. While discoursing on this topic
