whole conference that was able to sus-
tain my report, but they not asking me
to do so,wrote out lies to make the pub
not. My next protest is not giving the
proper report, as given tLem by the
President, of money that the President
had received; the st. Thomas church at
Glasgow, Del, collected some $40, the
President received in all some 1894.
The delegate from the A. L. church
Wilmington, brought in a report of q
dollars and some cents. and would not
receive the report and he saw that he
had some money and he did not know
how much the treasurer had, and he
would make it good; he gave Inc 20 cents
making in all that had $66.l6 out of
over $l60. Besides the two collections
according to the quota Of members
St. Thomas, Glaagow, Del, reported
