CONFERENCE OF YOUNG PEOPLE

The Conference of Presbyterian
Young People, which had been in
session in Lcwisburg for eight days
beginning with Tuesday, the 18th,
closed last Tuesday evening, the 20.
More than two hundred young
people were in attendance from all
the various counties included with
in the territory of the Synod Of w.
Virginia.
This was highly instructive and
entertaining meeting, consisting of
Bible study, methods of Church
work, devotional, spiritual and in
spring. III common with all the
leading denominations, this is an
annual feature of the Synod of West
Virginia. The Baptists of the State
hold their Assembly at Phillip, in
the Broadus College building. The
M. E. Church holds its summer meet
ing at Buchannon, in the West Vir-
ginia Wesleyan College building:
and the NJ. f. Church, South at Bar
louisville, the home of Norris
Harvey College. This meeting at
Lewisburg has been great success
and all the young ladies and gentle
men in attendance have been de-
voted to their work and were de-
termincd to meet the purposes for
which they came and achieve the
ends sought. They arc the repre-
sentative young people of their re-
SpeCtive Churches in The various
communities whence they came.
We are not advised where the meet
ing will be held next year, but we
trust the committee having this
work in charge may beside to come
to LcwiSburg again next year.
Conventions of the young people
Of the various denominations held
each summer have great influence
on the lives of those in attendance,
and they in turn exert great in
fluence on the lives of the young
people in the home Churches who
are not in attendance.

This promises TO be busy session
OF the Board as owing 10 the action
of the Tax Commissioner to have
all values raised, the question of
taxation and Of values has become
OF intense interest TO every one, and
practically every one in the county
Will be interested to know the value
which has been placed on his prop
crty. The question ftaXation and
Extravaganza has reached point of
intense proportions and it may be
that the great burden which has
been laid on the poplc by those who
have taken an interest in govern
ment will force all the people to a
higher sense of duty and interest in
government and that interest will be
sufficient to demand doing away
with laws of extravaganza and the
enactment of a just and sane tax law

have been enacted under the in

peculiar benefit.
