into the hands of the Methodist clergy
and much interest has been manifesto
here in the sessions of the Newark An
nual Conference.
A most cordial welcome has been ex-
tended to every body in any way con-
nected with the Conference. The people
of the town have wed with one another
in hospitality and from one to half
dozen ministers are CHARTERED in almost
every home where they can be suitably
accommodated.
This hospitality is shown not only by
the Methodists but by members Of other
religious denominations as we'll Ia fact,
the Presbyterians, who have the largest
congregation in the town, are entertain
ing more guests than are the Merhod1sts
