If you want all the news
all the time, take the STAR.

The election is over, and the
business stagnation incident to
the campaign has been dissipated.
Already commercial circles have
taken on a new activity, and the
prospects are that the general
prosperity of the country will be
as great from now on as it has
ever been, not on account of the
result of the elects On, but for the
simpl. reason that the issues
which have been agitating the
public mind to the exclusion of
everything else for the past four
months, nave been definit ely set
tied for term OF years.

DIR. Smith took advantage of the cour-
tesy, and made splendid, or:ltorial ef-
fort against the provisions of the resolu-
tions. He charged that the system as it
now stands has too much friction. and
was hindering the course of Methodism.
He believes that oppose it as you will,
this removal of the time limit is coming,
as sure as the sun shines. The whirls of
progress cannot be blocked.
DIR. Handley made splendid argument
in favor of the resolution, and fairly cap
tured the entire conference.
DR.. John Morris moved the previous
question, and the resolution was carried
by vote of 158 to 13.
The election of ministerial delegates
was then taken up it having been made
the order of the day for eleven o'clock.
The tellers were appointed by the Con-
ference as follows:

Spring
Activity.

It don't take long for store like
the Corner to jump from one sea-
son to another. From a winter en-
porium to Spring palace, is an
effort that only can be made here
in a wee bit of time, and to the
entire satisfaction OF great many
people.
There is unusual Spring activity
here. The goods from all parts Of
the world, that our buyers thought
would suit the fastidious tastes of
our shoppers are arriving. They
are here in quantities, but the car
loads are still moving this way.
The preparation for this glad,
bright, happy season has taken
much careful speculation, much
time, effort and the expenditure Of
money that means thousands. But
the Corner has made big efforts
from the time the Corner sprang
into being, and nowadays our
friends look for much more than
can be expected from other stores.

DR.. Handley offered substitute for the
appointment of a committee to arrange a
mature plan and report in two days. The
substitute was adopted and DR.. Hanlon,
DIR. White, DR.. Handley, Rev. John S.
Heisler and Secretary Roe were appoint
ed committee.
Business was suspended while the
Bishop presented to the Conference Bish-
! op Foss, DIR. Hamilton, Secretary of the
Freedman's Aid Society; Rev. Walton
Skipworth, of the Idaho Conference; and
Evangelist Thomas Harrison.
The Board of Stewards list of Confer
ence claimants was read before the Con-
ference, and it was suggested that other
names might be added.
On motion of Bro. Heisler all names
suggested to be added to the list were re-
ferred to the Board of Stewards.
Daniel E. Lyon, William Adams, w
G. Hagaman, Wright Eckersley, George
Eckersley, George R. Middleton, Alfonso

questions, and being favorably reported
were admitted into full connection,
Pentecostal Lecture.
One OF the most interesting services ar
ranged for during the Conference, are the
Pentecostal Lectures, by Rev. DIR. G. L.
Oliver, OF Ohio. Yesterday afternoon he
conducted this splendid religious service,
in Central church, every seat being taken.
The song service, which was unusually
spirited, was led by DR.. Gilmour, of We
nonah. The subject of the lecture yester-
day afternoon was "Nature and Design
OF Pentecostal Grace, or the Holy Ghost
in Symbol" The scriptural basis was
first presented, and taken part in by the
congregation. The lecture was especially
adapted for service of this kind, the
four fold symbols being air, water, fire
and oil, and in his own manner he pre-
sented wonderful, far reaching lesson.
This afternoon the Pentecostal service
will be held in the Commerce st. M. E.
Church.
Thursday Night.
There have been few occasions when
the handsome Central Church Audi
TORN has been filed with such a large
congregation as last night crowded with
in the walls. Many were turned away,
every seat, including the chairs in the
aisles being filed before half-past seven
O'Clock, the hour of service.
1t was the occasion of the anniversary
OF the Conference Temperance Society.
After the voluntary by Louis Elmer,
the capable organist of the church, the
choir, special one arranged for the Con-
ference anniversaries, sang specially
bright anthem.
President James Moore, of the Temper
ance Society not being present, the
meeting was presided over by Rev. John
w. Morris, of Gloucester city.
The singing of familiar hymn and
prayer by DR.. Geo. X. Morris, preceded
very effective and charming duett by
Bridgeton pioneer., 1896-03-19

posed to the doctrines REV. j. HANpLEY.
of the Methodist Church. He challenged
those opposed to the removal of the time
limit to give their reason for that belief
DR.. Marshall, of Camden, made a
lengthy and very forcible argument
against the preamble and resolution. He
declared that the efficiency of the Metho-
dist Church would not be impaired by
the removal of the time limit.
DR.. Jesse r. Thompson, of Salem,
made a most vehement speech in favor
of the resolution, and spoke scathingly
of the effort that was being made by GER
tain big preachers to hold on to the best
places and crowd back the others in the
rear rank.
DR.. Hughes, of the Bible Society, an
old veteran of the Conference continued
the argument in favor of the resolution.
DR.. J. B. Graw, of Camden, was most
enthusiastic in his approval of the reso-
lation and in the interest of Methodism he
urged the continuation of the limit.
DR.. Handley, while not in favor of
this resolution, was still in favor of
the removal of the time limit. He made
an eloquent speech and urged that re-
ferendum act should be adopted by the
General Conference, which would give
the laity an opportunity of expressing
themselves.
J.W. Gamble, of Red Bank, secured
the floor, and said he arose to move the
previous question, but he was willing to
permit, through courtesy, to allow DR..
Smith to make a speech.
