He said wej needed not more light, but move power, the lack oi whiuh produced iailure m our imsbion. That power came "horn on high," and could be obtained by turning m consecration and expectancy to GoJ. The Key. Isaac Jolly, of Palmerston. North, followed with an exceedingly able and powerful address on "The Value of Bible Study," m which he said that its chief value Jay hi its importance /or 'he spiritual lite. Yesterday morning, at ten o'clock, the chair was taken by' the Rev. «J. A. Asher. Miss Strong, 8.A., of Nelson College staff, read a most comprehensive paper on "How to Secure Spiritual Results." In the discussion that followed it was noted that from St. John's class, Wellington, jin one ytar, 28 members had professed conversion through "the influence of their fellow-members. Mr J. E. Stratham delivered an eloquent ad-' dress on "Conventional Evangelism,' 1 and Mr Boal, leader of the St. John's young women's class; dealt with '"The Price of Personal Influence." In the afternoon the visitors were entertained by the local members to a garden party m the Botanic Gardens, kindly granted for the purpose by the municipal authorities. Votes of thanks were passed by the visitors to the Napier friends for their indefatigable labors and hospitable entertainment. A special vote was reserved for the travelling secretary, the Rev. J. C. Jamieson, and for Mrs Jamieson, to whose genius the school owed its conception, and whose skill had guided the local workers. At the evening meeting, the last of the series, a large congregation again assembled. The Rev. Isaac Jolly, of Palmerston North, delivered a powerful address upon "The Crisis of Spiritual Life." Thereafter the meeting was resolved into two sections, junior and senior. At the close of the sectional meetings the congregation reassembled for the final testimonies and leave-tak-ings. The meeting was the most impressive of all the series. Those who have had experience of previous summer schools are of the opinion that this school .has been by far the most significant. Apart from those who have received complimentary tickets 975 persons have formally registered as students. There have been 28 foimal addresses delivered by university graduates and prominent educationists, followed by general discussion. The school ended to-day. Some of the Northern visitors left by the steamer last night.
