niversary meetings. DIR. j. w. Spen-
Ger of Philadelphia, another eminent
secretary, will present the cause of
Southern Education and the Freed
mans Aid. DR.. Schell of Chicago, re-
Gently placed at the head of the great
work of the Epworth League, expects
to be here in the interests of that
branch of work. The ladies' mission
airy societies will, it is expected, have
eminent ladies present to speak in
their behalf. There will be others of
more or less note, in and out of the
denomination, and as representatives
of the religious denominations of the
State, who will speak. OF the minis
terial brethren of the denomination,
nearly all, about 100 will be present,
with generous sprinkling of wives,
both included, making about 10 who
will, as the custom has always been
with two exceptions, receive free en-
tertainment. There will be many Law
visitors who will not expect free en-
tertainment, but who will help to
crowd the hotels. An invitation will
soon be made by canvass for places of
entertainment, and while the people
of the M. E. church are expected to
do all they can in the work, they will
be obliged to invite, though not to
burden, others. The conference must
be so entertained as to make their
stay among us agreeable, while we
get in return very much that will be
helpful to all churches and will be
great treat in the good things heard
and good people seen.
