One of these was the Prohibition Convention, called to consider the Liquor Bill of 1002, the other was the Quedrennisl gathering of the representatives of the Student's Vol. unteer Missionary .Moyement from schools and colleges of every province in our Dominion and from almost every state in the American Union.
