ard. The Colonel managed to wedge IN
his address q solid advertisement for his
newspaper. He claimed that it was the
greatest Christian newspaper in the

Il <.f lEor. mn
! opened with every pew filed at the Cen
| tenary Church, and it was without doubt
the most enthusiastic session of the con-
| ference.
Bishop Newman and his staff were
early on hand, but the Bishops usual
| dispensed with. The greater part of the
morning was taken up by the reports OF
| the various committees, almost all Of
which offered resolutions concerning
their respective work. Educational and
other matters were discussed at length
| and numerous resolutions were presented
and adopted.
| The presence of Counsellor S. B. Ran
som, of this city, was explained this
morning by the reading of a paper pre-
| pared by the Counsellor relative to some
property belonging to the Newark Con-
ference. Mr.. Ransom Is one OF the trus-
tees and on behalf of the trustees he re-
quested that the property be conveyed to
i recently organized Methodist Society,
I located near the property.
A motion was made that committee
| be appointed to take subscriptions for the
Aged and Retired Preachers Fund.
/ There was considerable 0pposi tion to the
motion, as the matter Of subscriptions
is q dreaded subject to broach to most OF
| the pastors. DR.. Craig spoke vuhemently
| in its favor. as did several others, but the
mover OF the motion finally Withdrew 1t
| by request. That was the fate of all reso-
| Iutions requesting financial assistance.
| Resolutions were passed thanking the
| Newark pastors for their kind hospitality,
and also thanking Bishop Newman for
| his helpful presence.
