op Gaines, in opening the fourth days
session of the Virginia Conference OF
the African Methodist Episcopal
Church at Richmond on Saturday, an.
nounced that ne would make his ap-
pointments on Monday night, and that
any man who was known to drink
whisky, chew tobacco, smoke cigars, or
was guilty of any immoral act would
not be appointed to any charge in his
jurisdiction. This statement caused
quite a discussion among the ministers.
The men who used tobacco declared
that it was filthy, and they would use it
10 more The smokers said it was un-
becoming a gospel minister to smoke,
and they were glad that they would be
forced to stop, while one or two men who
had been drinking whisky and beer de-
clared that it was injurious to their
health, and they would use it no more.
The bishop also told the preachers who
were in debt that they would be re.
uuired to settle before they received
their appointments. BE said that
preachers received favors on account OF
their standing in the church, and they
should not abuse it.
