cIOht-A FLEA FOh THE MISSIONARIES.
The noble gathering Of men who are here as
delegates to the great ecumenical Methodist
conference met at 10 o'clock this morning for
the third day of their deliberations. The in
terest in the conference broadens and deepens
every day, and it may well be said that the
eyes of the Methodist world everywhere are
turned toward the Metropolitan NJ. E. church.
christian Unity was the general topic for
the essay and the addresses at the morning
session today, and the Rev. II. G. Marshall,
president of the Methodist new connection. was
presiding officer of the session, and occupied
the handsome Wesley memorial chair.
As usual with this deliberative body. the pro-
gram included an essay on the general topic
tor discussion, followed by two briefer ad-
dresses. one by a delegate from the western
and one from the eastern section

REV. J. ERNEST Chaplain. LONDON.
("Home Secretary" of Wesleyan Methodism }
the NJ. E. church of New York city, and Rev.
Thomas Mitchell of the Primitive Methodist
church of Hull. England.
The first hour OF the session-that from 10 to
II o'clock-was given to devotional exercises
and to the transaction of whatever of routine
and preliminary business there might be to
come before the conference. All such business
refers directly to the sessions themselves and
has no effect outside of the walls of the Met
ropolitan Church. as the ecumenical confer
ence is deiberative and not a Legislative
body.
The attendance today both of delegates and
OF spectato was rather larger than usual and
the papers were listened to with the closest at
teution.
ROUTINE BUSINESS TRANSACTED.
The morning session was opened with the
hymn. 'Blest be the tie that binds" and then
Rev. James LIE Huray Of the Metho-
dist New Connection church OF Southport

the morning and an earnest PRAYER for blessing
and plenitude of the Holy Spirit of God was
delivered by Rev. George Packer of Halifax.
At the conclusion of the devotional services
score taries OF the conference, read the minutes
OF Yesterdays sessions, and after some little
discussion and q few corrections they were
adopted. Rev. j. NJ. King presented number
OF resolutions and memorials which had
passed the business. Among these was one
nominating the presiding officers for the vari-
GUS sessions for several days ahead. These
were as follows: Second session. third day.

The Matter of Pensions.
The following document will explain
itself.

The following document will explain
itself:
PENSION DEPARTMENT, !
OFFICE OF CoMPT'R GENERAL,
COLUMBIA, January s, 1891,
Circular No !.
County examining boards Of pensions
are required by law TO meet on the
third Monday in January Of each year
for the purpose of considering applica-
tons for pensions, as provided for by
the laws of South Carolina. There were
no changes in the pension law by the
last Legislature, and these boards are
expected to follow the same rules
governing them the previous year.
The law, as we understand it, does
not contemplate a re-eXanination Of
applicants passed upon and approved
heretofore, but county examining
boards of pensions will receive new
applications under the rules heretofore
governing them.
When all applications shall have
been acted upon, then the county eX-
amining boards of pensions and the
board of pension commissioners elected
by the survivors of the respective coun-
ties shall meet together and examine
the pension roll for such county, and
select therefrom such number of the
most needy applicants as will be sut1i-
cient to consume the appropriation of
such county, allowing to each applicant
so selected the sum of three dollars per
month from such appropriation. In
selecting such applicants for pension
the said board shall have regard to the
physical condition and financial means
of such applicants, and also to the
financial condition of near relatives of
the several applicants, and shall, in
every instance, select the most helpless
and needy applicants for aid that can
be found upon the pension roll.
A majority Of the members present
composing the two said boards shall be
necessary to determine any matter
presented to them, and a majority of
each board shall be necessary to form
said joint board. Where survivors
failed to meet saleday in October, 1880,
or in November, 1890, and to elect the
five members of the board Of pension
commissioners, as required by Section
10 Of an Act to amend an Act, etc,
approved December n, \. D. 1855,
county examining boards are requested
to report such facts to this office at once,
and when such meetings were held
and the five members of the board Of
pension commissioners elected, report
to US the names ofsuch commissioners.
All applications approved by said
county board, with the papers upon
which they act, shall he filed in the
Comptroller Generals office by the first
day of February of each year, to be
submitted by him to the State board of
pensions for their review.
