There is to be a fund known as
the DR.. Edmond endowment fund.
1t must be increased TO $4,000.

portioned $4,000 of this amount,
which meanes three memorial mem
berships of $50 each for the Allan
tic district.
Mrs. L. B. Gray, of Stuart, who
has charge of the Young Women's

is loved and admired by all for her
untiring efforts in this work and
for the many sacrifices she has
made to carry on the work.
A paper entitled What Would
You Say?" was assigned TO Mrs. H.
c. Ford, of Guthrie Center. On ac-
count of illness she was unable to
be present, but her splendid paper
was read to the convention by Mrs.
G. +. Harmon, of Lewis.

The Closing Session.
The closing session was not so
| largely attended as those of the
day before or the afternoon session.
Many Of the delegates who drove
| overland left early, while many of
the others who came long distance
left on the afternoon trains. How
ever, there was a good attendance.
Rev. Shenton substituted for Rev
Arnold, of Guthrie Center, in the
evening devotions. Miss Dorathea
Thomas, Of Guthrie Center, render.
ed pleasing and appropriate vocal
solo. She has a splendid voice and
many would have been pleased to
have heard her again.
The speaker of the evening was
Miss Liers, the same lady who APP
peared the evening before. Her talk
was continuation of the story she
started on Tuesday evening. While
she is not a polished talker, yet she
is very impressive, from the fact
that her soul and entire being is
wrapped up in her work for the
Master. The delegates and those
who attended both evening sessions
were deeply impressed with her
story.
On invitation of Rev. Prather,
the convention next year will be
held in Abel.
Delegates Well Pleased.
The delegates to the convention
numbered something over 60 and
ali of them were more than delight
ed with the hospitality shown them.

vcntions for thirty years said she
had never been in town where ev-
eTythiDg worked out more smooth
ly and where everyone worked as a
unit with such a degree Of perfect
harmony as in Audubon.

excellent. Mrs. Conklin had charge
OF tho banquet and also had charge
Of the dinners and suppers which
were served in the dining room both

rying out of every little detail. Il
