day for the superanuated ministers and widows
and orphans of tho conference. In the course
of his address afterwards the pastor estimated
the days collections at the modest sum of 1926.
and, as Rutherford's hand dropped piece of
currency into one of the plates, it is probable
he was not disappointed.
After the collection several announcement
were made, among which was that Bishop
Foster will preach next Sunday morning at the
First M. E. church and in the evening at the
jackson street church.
The subject of discourse for the evening was
introduced by reading from the 136th Psalm,
20, give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good;
His mercy endureth forever" and the pastor
stated that according to previous announcement
he would review the conference year now end
ing. The labors of the year, he said, had been
peculiarly hard on account of persons who, in
addition to being themselves discouraged, had
the faculty of Encouraging others. There
over-confident in their minister had
left all the work to him. But, on the whole it
had been year of success. There was peace in
the church, it was financially prosperous, hav-
bership was increased; and there was an en-
couraging large attendance at the purely devo-
tional meetings.
The discourse at times sounded enough like
family talk to make the reporter and the ex-
governor of Ohio feel like intruders-that is,
if the ex-governor can feel that he is an intru-
der. For instance, when the pastor mentioned
lady who said to other members that
the glory of old Jackson Street
Church had departed, and then took her
self away from it; or, when speaking
of former losses and late exemptions fro m
losses, by death, of the pillars and veterans Of
the church, the pastor said: Brother Brown
uated, but veteran" and modestly pitched
voice answered ''Amen." Or, again, when the
pastor, reading his statement of the money
contributions of the congregation for convey :
ance of gospel truths remarked, that
all he read was not paid and pointed the broad
hint by saying it was the history of this church
that it never let its pastor go to conference
without having his salary paid up. If Mr..
Hayes felt it was not good for him to be there
to listen to these family matters he might
have meekly accepted his punishment as much
less than he deserves for being the wrong man
in the right place.
The discourse was ended by a conclusion
that the results of the years work required
thanks to God and the prayer that followed
was appropriately one of thanksgiving. The
final hymn, sung by the choir. and again with
out that volunteer discord, was
II love Thy kingdom, Lord,
The house of Thine abode
a common form of benediction, The most of
the congregation passed rapidly out, but a
score OF more waited along the aisles, smilingly
expectant of notice by the distinguished wor-
shippers. They were not disappointed. Mr.. and
Mrs. Hayes pleasantly submitted to few
introductions, but escaped in courteous haste
bowling, smiling and shaking hands as they
passed out. Across the sidewalk from the outer
door to the carriage the Presidential party
passed between two single lines of lingering,
curious people, and just as Mr.. Hayes was help
ing the ladies into the carriage woman adj
vanced to shake hands, and to say to Mr.. and
Mrs. Hayes that she had at some former time
had the honor of meeting them. In the uncer-
tain light which rendered recognition doubtful,
and, perhaps, with some hesitancy about the
expediency of stopping to solve the
doubt, the addressed parties seemed
embarrassed and as their carriage rolled away
in one direction, the reporter, walking in the
other thought, 'Well, that sort of stolen fruit
isn't always sweet"
