These resolutions were heartily approved of by delegates. Tea was served at 5 p.m. after which many took advantage of the opportun - ity of examining the latest missionary j literature, forwarded by Dr. Stephen- son. Rev, W. H.

His subject was "The Relation of the League to the Rural Problem". He referred to the place the League should occupy in the social life of the young people in rural sec- \ tions--it should take the lead, and associate associate good clean sport, temper i nee, and clean politics with the work of the church, and bring these things up to the level of Christian principles and citizenship. Rev. Frank L. Langford was a stranger to many on this district, but after the excellent services rendered by him at this convention, it is safe to say he will be a welcome speaker at any time. He referred to Rev. G. W. pan hixh tribute. Rev.
