The Tennessee Conference


The Tennessee Annual Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South, met Oct. %, in the West End
church, Nashville, and closed Nov.
3, at 10 p. M, Bishop A. M. Wilson
presided. He is regarded as one of
the ablest preachers in the South.
Very large congregations Of resident
people and visitors attended all of
the sessions of the conference and
manifested much interest in the pro-
ceedings. In marked contrast with
the last conference at Pulaski, this
conference was very harmonious
from beginning to end. Due time
was given to the consideration of ev-
cry question. The McMinnville

past year in the conversion of souls,
the building of churches and in the
missionary movements Of the church.
Our fellow townsman, Capt. j. w.
Irwin, is an influential laymen in the
conference, being d member Of the

Tribute from the Board Of Education
to Miss ada Thurman.

MISS THURMAN:-The Board of
Education have learned with pro-
found regret that you will no longer
retain the position in our City
Schools, which you have for four
years so efficiently filled, and in ac-
cepting your resignation as Principal
Teacher in our High School they in
struct me to convey to you this ex-
preston of the very high esteem in
which they hold you personally and
professionally.
They instruct me to say that they
are deeply sensible of the very great
value of your services, and to declare
that the efficiency to which the
schools have attained has been due
in no small part to your faithful eff
forts. They bid me add that they
most unwillingly part with you, be-
leiving as they do, that it will be
difficult to satisfactorily fiji your
place.
The Board wishes me further to
reiterate that confidence in your abil-
ity, loyalty and perfect moral worth
which they have often heretofore ex-
pressed by repeatedly calling you to
serve our people and instruct our
children.
They desire me to say that you car
ny with you wherever you may 60
their best wishes, their cordial es-
TEEN, their most unstinted admira-
ton, and their lasting appreciation Of
your most valuable services in our
schools.
remain, with great respect,
Very truly yours,

We, the undersigned members of
the Board of Education do most
heartily endorse the sentiments con-
tanned in the within letter written by
Mr.. Beech to express our regrets in
having to give Miss Thurman up as

to convey to her our high apprecia-
ton of her many noble qualities of
head and heart.
We will simply say that in our es.
timation, both as teacher and as a
woman, she is as near perfect as it is

Come to STAY.

The terribly aggravated form of infu-
enza, which physicians on the continent
OF Europe designate as ia grippe"
seems to have effected permanent lodg-
ment this side the Atlantic. 1t makes its
temperance as soon as the cool weather
sets IN, and not infrequently during the
summer months. In the spring it is ram
pant. Nothing checks its first attack, or
so eHectually counteracts its subsequent
ravages, as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
The fortifying, invigorating influence of
that benefcent tonic protects the system
against the dangers which beset q feeble
physique and aweakly constitution conse-
quent upon abrupt transitions of temper
ature. 1t diffuses a genial warmth
through the diaphragm, which is the best
corrective or preventive of q chill, and is
means of neutralizing the effect of ex-
posure in damp or rigorous weather. In
dyspepsia, liver complaint, costiveness,
rheumatism, malarial and kidney
troubles it is never resorted to without
good results.

Both boys and girls consider themselves
too old to go to Sunday-school after con-

teachers could be employed. as in public
or private schools, tho orderly study OF
the Bible, book by book, would be pref
erable. Boys when they are taught Latin
are not called upon to recite snatch
from Virgil one day, u passage from
Caesar the next, and a chapter from
Cicero another day. They study ono
book at time and when it is finished
pass on to another. The discursivo study
OF the Bible from selected passages taken
here and there is Illogical. It would be
wiser to have q class after it has mastered
the catechism take up one of the Gospels
and study it chapter by chapter in an
orderly way; then the Book of Acts, and
finally the Old Testament in senior
Bible classes. In an ideal Sunday school
there would be less hymn-singing aud
wearisome practising for festivals. and
vastly more Bible study. There would
be system of grading and classification
based not upon chance acquaintance and
social preference. but upon work and
study done in the school; there would be
annual promotions from one group of
classes to another, and there would be
systematic study of the Gospels IN Junior
Bible classes, and finally senior Bible
classes for the special training cf teach

this decline in the home production can
