topic. "What Is Our Duty to Our
God?" The choir under the leadership
ot Thomas Joplln rendered a number
of line anthems which were greatly
enjoyed.
Tho sacred concert given by tho Sun
day school at the evening service was
the crowning effort of the day. The
beautiful edifice was crowded to the

Walkey, never played sweeter. The
choir was ut its best and kindly re
peated two beautiful Easter anthems,
and then Prof. Elijah Stevens nnd his
orchestra captured his audience and
thrilled them with as fine muslo as
was ever rendeted In our church. Tho
singing of the Sunday school, led by
the orchestra and choir, was grand
and inspiring. The recitations of Rob.
ert Hull. Nellie Evans, Florence Mil
ler. Mifflo Osborne nnd Emma Rob
erts, were of a high order and de
serve sptclnl pralze. The superintend
ent of the Sunday school Is Justly
proud of his young talented people.
If more of these services were held
In our chuicli we would have fewer
empty pews and a larger number of
church attendants."

of the social adventuress, Stephanie, known as
Forgct-Mc-Not, and was well presented by tho

ried oft the leading part, and did some very
clever acting. J. Harry Richmond was cast as
"Sir Hoiacc Welti," and in his t;ccnc with tho
adventuress In the second ait was at his best.

APPOINTMENTS MADE
BY BISHOP FOSS
(Concluded from Page 1.
tligo, the destruction ot the Spanish fleet, one
of our great commanders called his men together
on doik ami while tbe guns were ct smoking,
laid! "Let us first of all give thanks to Al
mighty God for Ills wonderful ctory." So amid
the cicltemcnt of the closing moments of this
memorable conferemc session, let us stop long
enough to devoutly render praise to the Great
Head of the burch, tho God snd Father of our
lord Jesus Christ, the God of all grace and
comfort, for the lctorles of the pat snd ere
the smoke ot the conflict vanishes away, conse
crate ourselves to the more arduous duties which
await us. The review of our work at the con
ference calls for nralse to the Giver of All, espe
cially for the large Ingathering of souli to Christ
In all our borders. More than seven thousand
have been converted.
To some this conference has brought great
honors and responsibilities, In that they h.vc
been selected by their brethren to represent
the church In Its great council, as tne geueril
conference. As the ear has gone by t'n-sJ
questions have been unxlomly asked: "Whom
will tho brethren send?" "Who will go for us?"
Is It I?" The mind Is now at rest. From soine
the burden has been lifted and they go on Jlielr
way rejoicing. Others among us still say: "Th s
Is the way I long have sought nnd mourned be
cause 1 found it not." The latter will bo com
torted by the thought that "All things co.na
to those who stand and wait."
The mest bitter personal feud In our navy's
history has stirred the whole country and even
become a national political question, namely,
'Which shall rank first, Sampson or Schley? We
can take our vole s tree men; ae, we enn
take our places where the bishop may assign us,
In tho front or rear ranks, In beautiful city or
quiet village, or on Hardscrabble Circuit, and
with the love of Christ burning brightly In our
souls and with no rankling Jealousies eating our
lives, say "We be brethren,"
