Conference Delegates.


Special to the indianapolis Journal
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Sept. 12.-For the
first time in the history OF the Northwest
Indiana NJ. E. Conference it has not been
invited by city in the conference terri
tory to hold the conference in that city the
succeeding year. This fact brought out
witty, and yet very pointed, speech by the
Rev. Allen Lewis of Valparaiso. A motion
had been made to refer the question OF
place for holding the conference OF 1881 10
a committee. Mr.. Lewis said that there
had been comment that the people ana
newspapers of some of the cities dld not
give enough attention to the conference
He wanted to advise the brothers that
they would fare much better in TINS re-
spect if they selected place for holding
the conference without regard to free en-
tertainrnent; if, in fact, they should pay
their way Then they would attract as
much attention as political convention.
which pays it's way and gets plenty of
space in the newspapers Ii the ministers
were not able to pay the bills out of their
own funds, the congregation should raise
the money. In CLOSING Mr.. Lewis said the
ministers in the conference go to cities
where they are not wanted, "and you
know it, he said, pointing his finger at
his hearers in a meaning way. The motion
was carried, and the presiding elders were
made the committee. The trend of senti-
ment in the conference seemed to be with
Mr.. Lewis. The ministers, like the Y. M.
c. A., are beginning TO believe that it
would be better when they hold their
meetings that they should pay their own
bills.
