FRATERNAL MESSENGER.
Rev. Cicero HafrkA of Guilford, was
then received rs a messenger from the
North Carolina conference representing
the Methodist Protestant Church. Mr..
Harris spoke OF union between the two
churches; hoped the time would come
when all that bear the Methodist name
from the Penobscot To the Rio Gande
would be one fur the glory OF God. He
said the propositions made by the messen-
gers of this conference when they were
met in Montgomery laid just as IL was
and to be candid, his conference felt that
the proposition ifacccpted would lend to
absorb the little branch Of the church he
represented in this State.
Bishop Pierce replied and assured Mr..
Harris that they didn't want to absorb,
that already one of his conferences had
united with them; that now they had
adopted lay delegations he thought all diff
| ferenccs between them silenced the arms
! Or tIisconfernre were open End they In
tended nothing but to unite with them on
a basis Of absolute equality.
A BROTHER EiGToR IN TROUBLE.
The Rev. Mr.. Moran OF the Washington
District took TO task brother isobbitt Of the
Raleigh Episcopal Aethedia for eaying Of
one Of the brothers District Conference
that Il was "pooF eonecnn and "the
District was lean and iaugnishing.r Bro
ther Moran said he rcefoned brother Bob
blu was discouraged because he didn't gel
any more subscribers down there. He in
tended to joke him about that " little ar.
ticle y wien he come to Conference.
Brother Bobbitt saidbe didn't remem-
Der using any such language. An editol
wrote 80 many things he couldn'tremcm'
ber what he did say. Anyway heconldn'l
he blamed for writing facts, Though h,
didn't mean any reflection on brother Mo
ran's district. He got more subscribers
thee than he expected. Wished brother
Mornl had written tollim he'd have mad,
n private explanation.
Brother Moran didn't want private cx
PLANTATION; certainly not, IL 10 better thar
The one just made. He helped brothel
Bobbitt TO get his subscribers ;-hc NIGH
hsfve thought II was big thingl lIt wa
just . good naturcd little spat between th'
two, that caused much humor)
