most interesting. In the morning
after the business session, a plain and

ed by Rev. a. V. Bliss, the secretary

speaker, who told much iof the work
being done in the south among the
negro population. His graphic word
pictures held the closest attention of
the audience and many points were
brought, which threw n light on the
missionary work in the south. He
spoke very forcibly in regard to the
lynchings of the south, believing, he
said, that there was not greater
cruelty in the war, perpetrated by
the Germans, than the torture of
lSnchlnS in this country's southern
states. lie urged that the convention

now before Congress, and q vote was
taken later to do SO, the secretary
sending copy Of the resolution to

supporters of the bill to prevent
lynchings in the future.

jOyed.
