A memorial service to Ozora S. Davis was held in the First Congregational church, St. Louis, March 26. The Congregational churches of St. Louis united with the City Missionary Society and the Missouri Congregational Conference in this service. St. Louis has long been one of the important centers of Congregationalism in the Middle West, and it was peculiarly fitting that the First church should be chosen for this tribute, because Dr. Davis' predecessor in the presidency of Chicago Theological Seminary, Dr. George, was twice a pastor of this church, once before his term of office and again after he had retired and, as a memorial to him, the church gave the Joseph Henry George Commons in the men's residence halls of the new Seminary buildings. Dr. Davis had spoken many times in St. Louis and was called on to dedicate the chapel unit of the new First church building, and, a few years later, the auditorium unit. Furthermore the present pastor is one of the board of directors of the Seminary. (For other details see "Necrology" in this issue.)

Warden has been re-appointed by the governor of Montana a member of the State Highway Commission for a term of four years. He was re-elected chairman at the first meeting of the new commissioners. He planned to attend the meeting of the American Society of Newspaper Editors, in Washington, April 16 to 18, and also the annual convention of the Associated Press and the sessions of the American Newspaper Publishers' Association, in New York city, April 20 to 26, and then the annual convention of the United States Chamber of Commerce, in Atlantic City.
