that could be desired, each performer
sustaining himself well in his part.

vented many from turning out, and
consequently the audience was small.

NE extract the following interest
ing item from the proceedings of the
late Tsnnsssee Conference: ff
Nheh the character of the vener-
sb]e De Maddin had passed, Bishop
McTyeire called on the Doctor to ad-
dress the conference, and then follow
ed one of the most, if not the most,
affecting and interesting incidents of
the session. The Doctor stated that
when he first became acquainted with
the Tennessee Conference it was a
small body, and of those then in the
conference, not a single one at this
times He Joined the Tennessee Con-
ference Kink 1913, In Seompapy with
twenty two others, and Of that class
only three are now living, viz: Bish-
ops Paine, Harwell and himself. Nine
teen of that number had crossed the
river and were now at rest, and he was
now. standing on the margin of the
stream awaiting his summons. But
few of the then members of the con-
ference had ever seen college walls,
yet they had great deal of faith and
their labors were attended by the pres
ence and influence of the Holy Spirit.
The minister of G cd had many speeu-
liar trials; was frequently without
money, and yet he was glad to be able
to say, after varied experience, that
God looks after His servants. His
first appointment in this conference
was on Stones river circuit in 1918, and
his first sermon in this State was at
old Haysboro, and among his auditors
was DIR. Craighead and all his students.
The day he preached at HaysbOro he
had less than one dollar that he could
call his OWL, and still he was prepared
70 statein his place to-day that the |
God he served had never forsaken
him. He made feeling address to |
his brethren in the ministry, and the |
many hearty responses and the copious
tears that fell from many manly eyes,
told in unutterable language the effect
his address had upon his hearers. He
concluded by asking his brethren to
pray for him, that God would continue
20 bless him in his, declining days.
