The removal of the largo turaiiar window from the reay of the pulpit has dispensed with -’ the painful glare of light .upon the eyes o f the congregation. But the most ,- extensive and most -magical , transformation is to ho found in the decorations and frescoing. Thiswork -was done by Bouts Syberktop and Bdn, of Crestoii, Iowa, and it is no flattery to say that it cannot be ex- celled. The frescoing executed is in the Empireetyle ofwork.

The Bible is open at the 23d Bsalm,while n leaf lies ready to turn over with alt the natnraluess .of. the teal. Beneath this a large alcove is painted. The. beam over head .is supported by a pillar of Corinthian style. Iu the rear of the alcove is a huge arch supported at each end by - double fluted- pillars with Corinthian capitals, through this arch a land­ scape "of n placid lake with rocky shores on one. side, and low, lying shore on tbs other covered with tropical plants is to be seen, while in the distance the bills fade uway^uto the clouds, leading away. from the arch fhe stone balustrade of a wide piaziu is to he seen' • The walls of the alcove are decorated iu a very strik­ ing Arabesque pattern, gathered up into folds to each of the large pillars in front nangs » very pretty, yet J heavy curtain in lilac and old gold, suspended, while hack of these 1 huug so ns to obstruct the view of any ceiling is a rich tapestry curtain, with gold fringe.

Howard: “Few men can move and sway at will a large audi­ ence ns lie doc3,” Gen. Butterfield: "Perfect, and immensely entertaining,” Gen. Miles: “The grandest heroic P'k',m I ever heard.” Gen. Began: “The only roan who emldgot the multitude quiet.” Gen. Alger. "California never doco anything by halves, Titis ir. an original, not a ehrotno." Gen. Biefcle:.-: “They laughed ai:d laughed, and would havo more.” Cm, King: ‘"Fall of humor nnd pathos. The best.” Olmiuesy M.

He began*his address by speaking of tlie ”imderground' railroads iu slavery times and of the men who aiifcd slave* to freedom- .H e then spoke of. the. many who tito staves to Sin. The young people are working ou the underground road, which is carrying many out of the slavery of sin into the freedom of Jesus Christ. Workmeu ou this road have three titles, those given by Paul to Epa- phroditie: “My Brother,” ‘ My Fel­ low I-aborer,” and “My Fellow Sold­ ier,*'« The significance of “My Brotlier,” is sympathy. This uot only implies sympathy lor fellow Christ­ ians, but also sympathy tor those who are out of Christ. Many nre enjoy­ ing the friendship of companions, and forgetting tlie hungry hearts that are ytnrniug for Christian sympathy. The world needs a Christiany of sym­ pathy, which is the Christiany of Christ. The significance of “My Fellow Laborer,” is service. The first thought of Paul after conversion was service. He delighted to speak ot himself as the servant of Christ. There are many kind of servants of Christ in this world, good, bad and iudiflerent. Some are like the fanner’s old leaking pump. As much water hud to be poured into it to start if as was gotten out. Others ur,« like a sulking gas jet which would only burn if it was the only light in the roam. Still, others may he called invalid servants, and imagine they will have nothing to do hut to he wailed upon. Christ needs faithful, hard working servants. The eiguificauce. of "My Fellow Boldier,” is steadfastness. The histoiy of Christian heroism is the grandest, the noblest the world has over seen. The charge is made that tho Christians of to-day must be popular and they will not servo Christ if it costs them anything. This is partly true, hut Christ has still many faithful servants. The convention then adjourned with music, conducted by Professor McClelland, The esmvention met again yester* day morning promptly at 8:IJ0.

June Graham, of Reynoldsburg, was to conduct the devotional exercises; but as she was not present. Prof. D. O. Campbell opened the meetiug with devotional exerdtos. Mias Echo Williamson had prepared a paper on the subject; “How May Young People Promote Sabbath Ob- aervance. Arsho W aV^ present, it was read by* D» W. Wil­ liamson. Young people may Jpro- mote Sabbath obiervanec: 1. By having supreme regard for the name. 2. By reverencing the ;Sabbath day more. * 3. By being watchfiil of their own conduct and employment on the Sabbath day. Wo need to remember tho Sabbath day. j The key word of the fourth commandment is remem­ ber. Mr. F. II, Dean of the Xenia bnr next gave an interesting talk on the subject of': “The Christian’s Attitude to Civil Law.” The speaker empha­ sized the fact that we must work for specific laws. Tlie Christian should not only obey tlie tawsthemselves, but should do all they can to see that the laws arc enforced- “The Songs of the Ages’* was the subject treated hy W.T. Mahon, of the Theological Seminary. He gave an' interesting history of the psalms, and spoke of those who have been the grentest’psalm singers.. Seventy-three of the psalms were written by David. The experiences of David well fitted him for writing the psalms. The speaker emphasise*! the fact that we siioutd love the. p_Mms,.; because an many of them speak of Christ. The remainder o f the session wa* taken up with conferences on these subjects and a conference by B. W. Sebring on “Tithing.” These confer­ ences were interesting, a great many takiug part. Dinner was served tho visitors and delegates in the Orr room. & The afternoon session opened with devotional exercises, conducted hy Miss Jennie Brock, of Fail Creek. Three very interesting papers were now read entitled: “Our Warfare/ “Our Weapons,” and “Our Watch­ word.” The first was read hy. Mm. C. H, Cox, of Springfield* .Ohio, in which she spoke of the war constantly going on between right a, >1 wrong. The Christian must enlist iu the ser­ vice, ever remembering that the fight is God’s. “Our Weapons,” hy Miss Emma Bigger* of Sugar Creek. The weap­ on of the Christian „is the Word of God. , Our watchword: “Whose We Are and Whom We Serve,” was" the^aub- ject given to Mr. George Harper. He emphasised the two facts that wo be­ long to God and are in his ?! »\ ices. After a c mferenc ■ - u these sub­ jects tho report« of the different so­ cieties were given, which showed that the societies were alt doing good work* The following officers were then elected. Pres., 15. C. MeCmvn, Ccdnrville; V. Pres,, Miss Lucy Btewart, Clifton; Sec., Mi«3Clara E. Coyncr, Greenfield; Tress., Clifford E. Bradford, Dean, O." Executive Cota,, Rev. F. 0 Ross, Ccdarville; F . II, Dean, Xenia; Misa Belle Jobe, Xenia; Mrs. Rev. Dobbins* New Cali* fornia; Mary Moorcbead, Xenia. Tithe See., Mils Francis Prugh. The music of the convention was conducted by Prof. A. C, McClelland and was one of the most interesting features. 4Owing to tho time of going to press it is impossible to report the evening session. But as the address was given by the 'gc|icr*l secretary, Dr* McGill, we are safe in saying that it was fine, Howard Andrct;-, of Dayton, a j former student of this college, was in !atteudanre at the ronvention. j ................ .

The Town in Total Darknets—Qoun- ell Palls to get TogetherWed­ nesday Night. " At the meeting of Councii iaet Monday night a resolution was offered by Shall for the purpose of taking $100. .or as much ns was necessaryI out of the general fund to light the Streets till the first of March ' When’ tne vote was taken the yeas, were three and the nay# two. Shroade* being absent. Iliff and Townsley voting most' em­ phatically against it. A , recess was then taken till Wednesday night for Its second reading. The meeting that evening was something on the order of the parabla of the great supper* where all begged to be - excused Three were present; the fourth was takeu very suddenly ill and jnuRt needs remain in out of the night air,' The other two took a very wise step in the matter, and deemed it not wise to venture out in the intense darkness. ' If we recollect, at a meeting not many months back, oue of these same councii men made a very neat little address, as to what the council were there for and who they represented, • and did not want a franchise till he knew hoW the people stood. If this poor humble servant would only use his services towards carrying out tho sentiments of the people equally at «U time*, there never would he any­ thing said. There will be but one piore meeting in which you can express yourselves for or against the present lighting system. We know that it is no good, but we are getting all we are paying for, and when a person gets his money’s worth he ought to he satisfied: When there is. money enough iu tho general fund for this purpose and the council makes uo provision what­ ever, the proper legal course will be taken to force the continuance of the present lighting system. Enough has already been said in regard to the “ electric light” for the town, ami because these very thoughtful “servants” did not get their own “way,” about it they try to get even hy taking the above steps. Above all, the the lights should have been used during the dark of the moon; and especially while we had so many of the representatives of the Y, 1\ (J. II. Convention with us. These “servants," if eervantstheyho, should draw the-mantle of shame over their faces and never corao before the public in such a manner as this. The people are in a manner to blame foe this; oft times, at the meetings, not one single citizen is present, and but low«uf them are familiar with the council proceedings. 'fhe room should’ he filled at every meeting, not only to show the Interest you are taking in the town’s welfare, but that each may he aware of what the city is capable of doing. The next meeting will be December 11* when we want to esc every tax* paying citizen out “ When you wish to purchase) Robes or Blankets come in and ex­ amine my stock, as I have the best lino of such goods that is kept in our city, and remember I will not lie undersold, Dorn, the Harness Man. ‘■■■■Laxative tablets same os cas* carets, Se, dozen. 0* M.
