The secretary or the ministers
conference refuses to become re-
sponsible for any revision or error
that the Rev. A. S. Thomas may
maze. While we accord to him
every right to retract from, or re
wise, any subject or assertion, he
denies him the right to DESTROY a
record by method of ruinism.
The ministers conference met at
the Zion Baptist church on the 22d,
and large body of the pastors
and other ministers were out in full
force. President Robinson offered
prayer at 10 o'clock to the minis
ters, after which the secretary read
the proceedings of the Monday
previous which were unanimously
adopted. The full textual exposi-
tions, contexts and exercises OF
Easter were given, which attracted
great attention and interest.
The following order of the morn
ing will be found interesting to our
readers:
President Robinson preached
from John ID: Is, The important
conditions of the gospel which we
preach. 1st. If you love; I'd, The
work of love; 81, The object OF
love-"
Rev. w. j. Howard, ga glOriou:
time we had a baptism; baptised
ninety, twenty-five males and sixty
females. He preached from Ephes
ians 4: 5. Subject, "The esSentia
unity of faith and works." anC
preached ably upon the power o
faith through the works of grace
in the soul.
DR.. Geo. w. Lee enjoyed full
the day, having been greatly aided
by the Rev. u. LII. Berry, of Nortl
Carolina. The Doctor only preach
! ed once, and that was from Matt
rs: 26. Subject, ''Death, hell ant
and the grave defeated by an empt.
| tomb"
The Rev. DIR. Brooks preached
from Col. 8: l. His impressions
were sublime, and covered will
eloquence through all of its parts
1. Obedience 2. Usefulness; 3, Til,
eternal joy.
Rev. Allen Goodlow, OF Pa, was
introduced by the Rev. w. j. How
ard for whom he had preached, anC
he addressed the conference.
Rev. Geo. McGoius, upon an in
troductory, was received into tht
| conference.
Rev. A. s. Thomas, 81 have
nothing to say more than to say
that l wish to make corrections in
the secretary's record where ht
misquOted me as saying, shat il
| the divinity of the God Head there
is no such a thing as a sonship, in
a biblical and a theological sense,''
but having been overruled the min
| uteS were sustained.
The very fashionable wedding o
Mr.. Peter Lyons to Miss Marths
McCauley on Monday night las
was largely attended.
The inquest in the case of ths
| old gentleman's, Notion Riley's

The letter of Mr.. Henry Baker
in the BEE this week shows con-
clusively that Mr.. Frederick
Douglass assertion that there is
no inventive genius IN the colored
race is false and malicious. Mr.
Douglass should read little
history. Mr.. Douglass attempt
to intimidate the administration
will not work. His recent speeches
in Florida and the District Of
Columbia are universally con-
demned.

HOW TO STAND WELL.
a Thing Essential to Women Who Wish t
Re Handsome.

a Thing Essential to Women Who Wish to
Be Handsome.
Women who wish to preserve the
slimness and contour of their figure
must begin by learning to stand well.
says a writer in Dress. That is eX-
planned to mean the throwing forward
and upward of the chest, the f1attening
of the back, with the shoulder blades
held in their proper places, and the
definite curving in Of the small of the
back, thus throwing the whole weight
of the body upon the hips. No other
women hold themselves so we'll as the
aristocratic English women. Much of
their beauty lies in their proud car
riage, the delicate erectness of their
figures and the fine poise of their
heads.
The same aristocratic carriage is
within the rearh of any American girl
who takes the pains to have it; it is
only the question of a few years of
eternal vigilance, never relaxing her
watchfulness over herself, and, sitting
or standing, always preserving her
erectness and poise, the result being
that at the end of that time it has be-
come second nature to her, and she
never afterwards loses it. This, in a
great measure. preserves the figure, be-
cause it keeps the muscles firm and
well strung, and prevents the sinking
down Of the flesh around the waist and
hips. so common in women over thirty,
and which 1t is perfectly easy to es-
cape. Another thing to avoid is bad
habit of going upstairs, which most
women do, bent forward, with the chest
contracted, which, as we'll as an indo-
lent, slouchy manner Of walking, is in
furious to the heart and lungs. Dress.

A GOOD Soldier.

It is maintained by some military
authorities that it is possible man may
be good soldier, in the sense at least
of his fighting qualities, without hav-
ing the least morality to recommend
him. There are sometimes unsuspect-
ed virtues brought to light by violent
means. a certain British regiment,
noted for its Ill discipline, served un-
der Lord CORVALLIS in the American
war. Two of its soldiers went into
house and abused its inmates in the
most cruel and shameful manner; a
third officer, who knew their names,
refused to disclose them and was SEN
fenced to be hanged for that offense.
The commander-in-chief rode up to
him when on the gallows: What a
fool you are, Campbell, to die thus;
give up these fellows names and you
are free man." mo, my lord, " was
the unflinching reply, you are in an
enemy's country, and can better spare
one man than two. San Francisco

Prosecuting HinaSelf.

This reminds me of a story once
heard Frank F. Davis tell few wears
ago, when he was prosecuting attor-
ney. He was defendant in the same
kind of suit as Jameson. and prose
cuted it SO vigorously that he won the
suit and had judgment entered up
against him
well, said 1, that was bad Did
your attorneys appeal the case?"
NO" said he, "the judgment still
stands "
Why" said 1, in surprise, "wasn t
an execution issued against you?"
No, b" said he, with slight twinkle
in his eye, you see the prosecuting
attorney forgot to turn it over to the
sheriff"
But l believe he paid it just the
same.
Many years ago when Judge 81. G.
Hicks was not as popular as he has
been in later years, SO am told, he
owed little bill of $25 to a well
known firm, and one of the members
came to see him about it. The judge,
then a plain colonel, lately returned
from the war. frankly confessed that
he was busted" and asked for an ex-
tension of time.
Cant do it." said the gentleman.
IF you don't pay it we'll have to sue
you"
"How can l pay when I haven't got
the money!" asked the colonel. ALI
want is little time"
We'll, weU have to bring suit,
said the gentleman, as he started off.
Hold on" said the colonel, as a
bright idea struck him. IF you must
sue me, why not give me the casel
You will have to employ some law
yer"
That's so, said the gentleman, "all
right, bring the suit"
Col. Hicks brought the suit. con-
