These State, institutions are, with

levoid of every leature; of evangell

Bible Is never taught or even read,
n them the voice of prayer is never
ieafd.! They are almost as Christless
io far as respects their curricula as

four appeals during the day, from the
decision of the chair. One question at
issue;, , the continuity of the service of
the members of the board of finance,
was lost, in , the maelstrom of talk on
tactics. A. resolution introduced by
delegates from Virginia held that .as
the Senate of the United States; had al
lowed the claims as a "great charity,"

superannuated: preachers, widows, etc.,
and that no -portion of the amount be
