The Closing Session of the Missouri Com
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church-A Lively Days Business-The
Appointments.
GLASGOW, No., March 23.-This morning
ut $3.50 O'Clock Bishop Harris called the
Missouri Conference to order, and after
half an hour spent in devotional exercises
conducted by Rev. w o. Lynch, colored,
the Conference settled down to work and
proceeded to rush business through at
railroad speed. Committee after COM
mittee reported, and each report was
adopted with scarcely any debate or COM
ment.
The Conference appointed Reverends
Austin Burton, J. Clark, J. G. Colby, J.
A. Lee, Alexander Hubbard. g. e. Curry
and g. B. Abbott, all colored, as delegates
to the st. Louis Conference to confer with
the colored members of that body in the
matter or organizing separate confer
ence.
Rev. C. n. John was elected as fraternal
dist Episcopal Church South, with s.
Ware as alternate.
Working under the second question,
John w. White, Charles Riggle. Albert M.
comb, g. q: Bendy, J. T. Bishop, w. B.
Hedburn, c. W. Miller, B. NJ. Danford,
George Praisewater and James Stalbert
were admitted on trial.
w. A. Wilson presented credentials
from the Protestant NJ. E. Church, was
admitted on trial, and, on motion, was
elected to the Elders order. The Bishop
congratulated the Conference on the acqui-
sition of so creditable class of novitiates.
The committee ON memoirs reported on
the deaths of L. L. McNeily, L. n. Bowdle,
L. N. Taylor, and Ellen, wife of Samuel
Taylor.
Some debate arose over the report of
the committee on temperance, but the Con-
ference finally put itself on record as ia
voring constitutional prohibition.
At noon the conference adjourned until
p. M, when the hearing of reports from
committees was resumed. The sum of 1892
was disbursed to conference claimants,
and $3.50 was distributed by the Preachers
Aid Society.
The most interesting feature of the day
up to this point was the report of the ed
vocational committee. The committee made
a detailed report of the origin, history and
present condition of Lewis College, which
is the only college in the State directly un-
der the supervision of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, and urged it as duty up
on members of the conference that they
should do all in their power to aid in sup
porting and building it up.
After a warm contest between the cities
of Brookfield, Savannah, Memphis, Hanni-
bal, Louisiana and Moberly, the over
towering eloquence of Rev. B. T. Stauber
secured the meeting of the next annual
conference TO the latter city.
Rev. Waugh, of California, then adj
dressed the conference briefly, relating his
itinerant experience in Missouri forty
years ago.
