Nr- Clinton addressed the members of the con-
ference relative to their responsibilities and
duties. After speaking of the progress their
church had made The past year, and congratu-
lating the conference on the punctuai attend
snca of 50 large number of their body, he
gave them some good advice as TO how they
should Comport themselves during the delibe-
rations. They would be visited probably by u
great numhfr of people. Some of the visitors
Heuld come from curiosity. others because
they were friends of the race and wished them
well, and others Gniy TO see if there was any
intelligence in the body. There were MANY
things. therefore, the members should do, and
Inany more hey should leave undoue In the
first place n wanted them to be punctu;l in
:hclr attendance. 20 have members Struggling
IN after tbs. other after the hoEr for opening
was exceedingly .li-looking. When they were
there he wanted them % attend 10 The business
hand. lie had often observed that tile mem
6ers did not give sufficient attention. Many of
them would stretch themselves out on the bench
Tor nap. rms looked exceedingly bad. They
should sit up straight like men who felt the
responsibility of their ministerial calling. An

especially females. II had grieyed him much
members sitting among q LOT of women
and chatting while conference was conducting
business, This might be very pleasant 10 TIT,
participant, but II locked very bad.
There was another forthcoming hr wanted
them to correct. Many OF tho members took no
part in the proceedings and had nothing To say,
or any suggestions 10 make when none We're
present except the i'm mediate conference body
But as soon as a crowd came in ESPECIALLY if
IheTe w-re females they wanted 10 make an
oratorlcal display This was all wrong, and
Sheuld he speedily corrected. Again members
should always speak plainly, intellIgibIy, and
~ the point. Not use words of which they did
not know the meaning, and then pronounce
those words III such way as TO be unintel-
iiglble to the hearers, and show that they did
not understand il themselves. If they wanted
TO use big words they should first examine the
dictionary, and see that they got them right
In conclusion, hr hoped that their deliberations
would be conducted in a spirit of friendship
and harmony.
