At this point of the meeting the lay
delegates arrived at the church and the
clergy rose in their seats to receive them.
After they were all seated Bishop Simpson
addressed them briefly in his usual happy

the laity with the conference affairs of the

same. He cited several instances, since
lay delegations had been instituted, where

materially to the interests of
the church. He hoped that they would
always harmonize and work together for
the good of Methodism.

and R. 2. Briggs responded in behalf of

speeches.

Hanlire, then addressed the conference
in the interests of that institution. It
was greet work and one that must be
supported by the church. It was needed.
The debt was now only $4,000 and he
