The recent Methodist Conference
IN Philadelphia has enacted that minis

ware and Iowa and other Northern
States shall be permitted to join the
conference in which they are geograph-
ically situated.
The English Wesleyan Missionary

been held, reported an income of
$4,000 391 circuits, 165 chapels, 100
missionaries and assistants, 1884
church members, and 1866 Sunday
School pupils.
The twenty-ninth annual session of
the Southern Baptist Convention met

This is the report made by pastor
of the membership of his church:
Two-thirds of the members of my
church are honorary members. They
don't come to prayer meetings; they
don't attend Sabbath School; they don't
add to the life of the church; they are
passengers on the Gospel Ship they
bear no burdens; add no strength;
their names are on our books; they are
honorary members.-B0ptist Weekly.

sion work was APPLY illustrated by q

London. SAT Colombo he met one

but here's a black preaching to us"
There is a temperance revival at the
Zulu mission, South Africa, which is
being followed by an increased relig-
ious interest. At series of meetings
held for a week at Maritzburg, nearly
900 pledges to total abstinence were
secured. These were English people.

couraging. "-DetroU Post.

She Took Him.

At eleven clock yesterday forenoon
couple of eXcursionists took seats on
| the east portico of the CITY Hall, directly
under the window of the Chief of Po-
lice. He was bean-pole looking chap
of twenty-three, with dust an inch deep
on his back, and she was an auburn
haired angel of twenty, wearing a solid
shoe, and chewing three guilds of gum
rolled into one. For long time they
sat and looked at the fountains and
| sighed and were silent. Then he ten

More silence and signs, and then he
took her elbow in bis hand and said:
"Hanner, I'm hungry now"
"Didn't you bring biscuit along ?"

''TwO dollars"
"Have you got the money ?''
"Hanner, do you doubt my love. I've

"Hanner-Hanner! Think of the

"And you really love"
Then they slipped.
They caught the sight of a six-foot
farmer coming up the walk with big
cane on one arm and his wife on the
other, and the girl slid for Michigan

as he lodged through the City Hall:

SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 26, 1888.
Editors Herald:
The recent speech of Senator Gull
lom, of Illinois, in the Senate in
favor OF his little Utah legislative
commission bill is very poor,
miserable, slanderous effort. But
that Of Senator Brown, of Georgia,
in opposition to the bill is most
mastery and crushing, almost ex :
haustive. It ought to be republished
in large type in pamphlet form and
scattered broadcast over the whole
Union. It would be likely to do
much good in these times when IN
scrupuIous, determined, and reck-
less attacks upon constitutional free
dom are so rife. 1t is a glorious
thing to defend the liberties and
rights of the people and the provi,
si0ns and principles Of the COnstitu-
ton against the attacks ofits ostens-
IDLY SUPERFICIAL friends, but real
enemies. SALT LAKER.
