AN AFFECTING sCENE-HELP FOR THE
NEEDY.
DR.. Morgan called attention of members to
the fact that ID. w. Arnold, a member of this
conference, was at home very low. This
brother was without means; he had been in
our conference all his life. He thought it
would be well to assist him. and recommend
him also to the Preachers Aid Society for
relief. He stated that two laymen would
start a subscription for his aid with $50 each.
Then began a scene that brought tears to
the eyes of many and thrilled the hearts of
all. In few minutes the sum of 81 900 was
subscribed, Messrs. l.. +. Morgan, j. p. New
man, j. w. Hedges, and many others giving
large sums, and nearly all the clergymen and
laymen subscribing literally.
Mr. Arnold was then made supernumerary.
Also, j. w. Cullom was made supernumer-
airy, with an appointment.
The report of missionary collections for the
year was read. These aggregated the sum of
s29,o3l76, decrease of about $1,000 as COM
