An Interesting Subject.?-?? '"What shall-we~-dh-to deepen the consciousness of God in the church os?"?Dr. Jesse E. Beard, was the order of the day for the Interdenominational Union session hero : this, wetk. to discuss the above sub jeet. rrTvns-fm inspiration to ev. ei y* mimster to hear Dr. Bhrtvd on this subject. In fact- his argument should- have !>eeH heard by multi tudes of neonle of eVOTy-denomt^ ~ nation iirspecfive of color. - To know him is also to know one of the most 'pointed speakers of this aye. "The 'following:, ministers ~ spoKo -li hlu'-ivst forms of the same: Revs. It. K. Rrngdon, T. O. Mills, It. I. I.fi u?n an : F. H. Ausioriuan. Itcv.

"Koine 'the salt of tt|c earth," said the speaker, they go not come in contact with sinners. And salt savs in proportion" as it is Jrpplied J ? to the meat? While -the Union agreed with the speaker it is indeed a serious indictment against chrig"* tinn= the ""world over. After" aTl who is trying "to"save souls? Who eVurvh?
