in the interests of that institution.
Mr. W. B. Morrison, president of Oklahoma
Presbyterian College for Girls,
spoke in behalf of that institution. The
college has enrolled this year 110 pupils.
It has a class of seven juniors, eleven
teachers besides the president and his
wife. The Christian work among the
students in the college is earnest and
successful. It is regarded as a special
mark of divine favor and care that not
one family connected with the college
has suffered with the dreadful disease
that prevailed in the town of Durant
and in so many other places. Both of
these addresses were greatly appreciated,
and appropriate action was taken
by Presbytery with regard to each of
them.

the needs of Ihis rapidly growing field
the Presbytery asked for another missionary
to be placed In the field.
The sessional reDorts showed some
growth all along the line. It Ib much to
be regretted that eo many small churches
are vacant, and have no one to visit
them even occasionally. Steps are no^'
In contemplation whereby some one ig
to be secured, to give his whole time
to the small vacant churches, visiting
them as often as he can and ministering
to them.
