Every session was pitched to a high key, and the sermons were by men of great ability and were greatly enjoyed by the large congre gation. 4Pr. J. C. Woo ten, Presid ing Elder, ' presided, and with his long experience in such matters, made an ideal presiding officer. The report* from the various churches showed, notwithstanding the depression, that the churched .were nearly all going forward in the great work o t the Master, not only In dollars and cents, but In the number who were being saved and added to the church.

The buzzard land ed squarely in Clayton's lap, and it was an uncertain question which was the more surprised. Since rid ers as a rule are not allowed on commercial vehicles, the huge bird was abruptly shoved off and after a few moments of indecision, soared away, to report his experience to the Buzzard's Believe -It-Or-Not.
