davis Conference Dali.
WELCOME.

MOI SauloNu HAS AINalS pSSH
noted as conspicuous example
Of genuine Virginia hospitality.
She proposes on this occasion to
be true to her ancient traditions.
She is the first place in the State,
outside of Wheeling, that has had
the courage to attempt the enter
tainment of both the lay sad
Ministerial conferences. How well
she has succeeded in arranging
for the accommodation of these
bodies we leave her guests to de-
clare. We, however, venture the
assertion that, with the exception
of very few persons, who, with
their horses, are accommodated at
farm houses, the Conference has
rarely found accommodations 50
near the church-one advantage
of a small town. The very hospi
tality Of the place came near de-
feating the arrangements for the
entertainment of the Conference.
Every one who had any acquaint-
ance in Morgantown, presuming
on her reputation for hospitality,
began to plan for visit during
Conference. 1t has only been by
skillful management that such
deluge of visitors has been avoided
as would have crowded out the
Conference. Members of other
churches, and people outside of
all churches, have nobly come to
the help OF the heroic Methodist
Church. May the presence of our
Ministers and Laymen among
them be like the presence of the Ark
of God in the house of Obed
Edom. The Presbyterian and
Baptist churches have been placed
at the disposal of the Conference
during the week. The spacious
University Hall has been rendered
for the accommodation Of the i'm
mense throng which will assemble
on Sabbath to hear our golden
mouthed Bishop Simpson. The
comfort of our guests will be our
study during their stay. The
people Of Morgantown are on their
feet to greet the Conference.
