One of the most interesting questions
connected with the meeting of the

M. I). Stockton and ('. II. Ireland. |
They passed resolutions pledging their
patronage and sympathy, .'11111 endors-ing
the plans projected by the alumnae
The growth during the past year was
not confined to membership, the finan-cial
reports also showing considerable
development. The churches in the
bounds of the conference collected
more money than during any previous
year. The assessment for home and
foreign missions were overpaid by
alxiut $1,400. The other collections
showed up well also.
