A feature of the-session was
the sermon preached on Sunday
afternoon to the colored peo
ple by Rev. B. B. Tyler, the only :
colored minister attending the
council. He gave them a splen
did sermon.
The business meetings showed
the work of the church through
out the Diocese to be moving
fortfjgrd in a very gratifying
manner.
An address by Rev. F. L.
H. Pott, of Shanghai, China,
late of the faculty of St. John's
College, was greatly enjoyed.
Rev. C.'O, Pearson; of'Morgan
town, gave a talk that was very
higlily complimented.
Sermons and addresses du
ring the session that were much
enjoyed were those by Revs.
Brittingham, Swope, Bishop Pe
terkin, Scollay Moore, Gibbons,
F. H. Lacey and others.
Rev. L. E. Sands, of Wheelieg,

Charleston, Hon W. S. Laidley,
a well known lawyer of the same

ley, of Morgantown, and Mr.
Derbyshire, of Huntington. Char
leston was well represented by
JohnEngleby,Esq.,a gentleman of

who -will hope this will not be
his last visit

Wheeling.
^ Dr. Forrest, of Christ Church,
* this city, said to a Tklborasi re
porter that he could scarcely find
words to express his .high .appre
ciation of the very grand and
beautiful manner in which his
church members, and those of
?ther churches, had assisted in
making the Council of the prfes
ent year one of the most success

Reports of depression and
aster come from many, localities
in the south and west; out
Olarlcsburg pursues the eyen
