Hunts, steam heat and u new kitchen and dining room 'fiulpmont have cost over $20,000. The Bcliool Is now In a line condition. It Is among the vtry best In appointment of the preparatory schools of the country. "Wc don't have card-playing nnd dancing at Wyoming seminary," said Dr. Sprague. "We are thoroughly Methodlstlc in our rules and shall pro hibit these amusements until they are t'Xpurged from the Discipline." Dr. Austin Grlflln added his plea for eo-operatlon from the entire conference In aiding the Institution. He was fol lowed by He v. H. M. Crydenwise, who epoke in the same strain. Rev. Thomas Harromt, who has been preaching for half a century, gave the historical sermon of the conference. The gentle, kindly face of the old man looked forth earnestly over the great congregation and a subtle sympathy went out toward him. The people had lust been singing "I'll soon lie ut Iioinc over there Kor the end of my journey I see," nnd those who have never attended a Methodist conference do not know how Methodist ministers can sing. The quavering old voices, that have been brave and ringing, mingled like a minor chord, with the strong, cultivated, rich tones of the young men and led per haps by the remaining members of the famous Wyoming Trio, who will sing Meetly until they die although the silence of the one 1 oice Is a rift within the lute. It Was .n Event. Mr. Harroun possesses, perhaps be yond the power of almost anv other minister in the conference, tho gift of beautiful thoughts expressed in beauti ful language. Full of Imagery, poetry and tenderness, his address marked an event in the conference. He spoke from Exodus, U:K: "Speak unto the chil dren of Israel and tell them to go for ward." "I have been fifty years in the way to heaven," said he. "I have had a great many ups and downs, but no outs and ins. I am still in the way. Abra ham Lincoln emancipated the black man. It is our work to emancipate black and white. It is a pielerred life that we lead. Sometimes we must ex change songs for prayer. I like to ride oft on it wave of hallelujahs as well as anyone, but somebody must get the boat ready. Kven the sun himself can not alone make the flower bloom in your garden. It takes rain and snow, and light and dark, and cold and heat, and thunder and lightning. God makes men this way. He hardens them and putse them in a tough place. It makes them tough and they are able to en dure." In conclusion, the speaker said that he began his work In the ministry fifty one years and four months ago. He entered this conference in 1869, and had been present at every session since. He added, naively: "I have had good ap pointmentsmostly. I have never been changed but three times, except at tho end of the law. Where the law Is to end now I don't know." As he con eluded with the words, "I hope you'll all bo then-' .; scene typical of Metho dism of the old time was witnessed. The entire congregation stood and gave the Chautaua.ua salute as the words "We'll be there" were sung, and emo tion was evident on every face. An Offering Made. A voluntary silver offering was presented to lite veteran clergy man, and the bishop supplement ed the occasion by a few re marks, when he said that he himself had been fifty-seven vrtrs In active work, and began It in a "circuit" of twenty-two preaching places. "In going forward," he said, "we have lost some thing. We have lost the old-time love feasts and the quarterly meeting." He congratulated Mr. Hanoun on the result of his service nnd the love and respect of the church. Those who worry and fret over appointments and salary are apt to drop out along the way. Dr. James Morrow, lepresentative of the American Bible society, the, ....i, a brief address. He spoko of the 1C0 000 foreign-speaking people in the Shenan doah valley, where he hopes to see a Methodist mission established, u is foreign missionary work on home .soli The Bible society's great mission was emphasized. Kev, U C, Murdock offered u tesolu tlon touching on this question in the AVyomlng valley, where, he said, the Presbyterians had done much, it was adopted, Tho resolution is: In view of tho fact Hut there uro 7.-..000 for-lgn-spej.lnsr people within tlio boumw of thl. conference, and Wbereaf, Tho Methodic Kpirfopal ihurcli . doing no dlstlnclho work: tlitufc-rr.

' Action was taken on tho memoir of Mrs. Lynch, who died on Tuesduy, and v s the widow of a member of this conference, Dr, Webster followed on the subject of church insurance. Boy. CI. II.

Thorpe gave a most Inter esting account of "Why Organize tho Wyoming Conference." I Tho most affecting Incident or an afternoon tilled with sentiment was connected with the Wyoming Trio, whose names appeared on the pro grammeone black-lettered "V. U. Westlake, absent but not forgotten." It was a duet and not a trio that stood on the platform, for Hev. W. H. Westlake's voice ceased on earth three yeais ago.

The voices seem not to weaken or grow harsh by tho yeais. and there was a unanimoub sen timent of approval when C. A.

Mr. Sumner Is known the world over nnd has been translated into numberless tongues. It is, "I'm tne Child of a King." Mrs. Dale's Paper. Mrs. Thomas II.

Jt had necessitated an inter minal task In research and selection. "These pages could be filled," said Mrs. Dale, "with facts stronger than fiction and fireside tales as charming as any romance, for fifty years ago the tingo of Revolutionary valor and enthusiasm had not entirely faded from the hori zon; indeed, had been carried Into tho church, where perhaps there was quite as much need of bravery and sacrifice. AVe are proud and thankful to be able to trace back through this line of de voted Christian ancestors, our right to belong lo the grand association of Daughters of the Revolution, and quite as proud and thankful of our lndis- ported Roosevelt for speaker of Iho house.
