principles of the Church.
Dr. Phillips' speech was a great Home
Mission plea. He made a happy combination
of that cause with Lis own
great work for Sunday school extension
and intension.
Dr. L.. J. Coppedge, of the Congo Mission,
made a fine impression, In his
vigorous though hurried address. The
Synod would gladly have heard him

Each member claimed that he had
the best place to stay in all Ruston.
We know they thought so. We know
It, for ourselves, and the others would
have agreed with us had they stopped
where we were.
Dr. Phillips, Superintendent of Sunday
School work, had a good opportunity,
as it appeared at first, that he
was the only representative of the executive
work of the Church. He made
a ringing speech and stirred all who
heard him.
A delightful reception was given to
the members of the Synod, in the rooms
of the Ruston Culture Club, on the af(Continued
