songs of praises, conducted bvProf.Excull. As expressed on' the pro¬gram. "Xot only the singing, but theway it's done counts most." Forthe most part this service consistedof old-time favorites that are dearto the hearts of all. To'Prof. Excel!undoubtedly, Hie greater-part of thecredit for the animation so preval¬ent this, perhaps tlio greatest ofall Sunday school conventions.

Every delegate had nothing butpraise for the oue of liMlo at Wheel¬ing, but it is expected that beforethe present one terminates it willlie unanimously voted the best of all.As every.hour passes .the. heart felt in¬terest and enthusiasm becomes moreand more apparent. One topic ofconversation among the delegatesand visitors that seems to predom¬inate. is that of the hospitality ac¬corded by Clarksburg people. Xotenough can Ik* done by. the ladies toentertain and the strangers do ap¬preciate it.The afternoon opening song ser¬

vice was even more successful thanthat of the looming. It is due tothe fact that the attendance in the.afternoon was much-larger than inHie forepart' of the Jay.At 2:1."> o'clock flic Round Table

was taken up and tlie! following sub¬jects wer? iiflmig tijfc tines discussed:

1. The County and DistrictProblems.

2. The'City Problem.fl. The School Problem.4. The Extension Problem.President Puriuton called at ten-'

tion early iu ilftfaftcrnoon meetingto the fact that several counties illthe State are back with their pledgesand apportionments financially.This will undoubtedly be satisfactor¬ily arjustcd before the husims# forthe new year is begun. Such will-!ingness to contribute in every con¬ceivable manner, mental, oral, vocaland so on. insures all the monetaryassistance desired.
