At yesterdays session in Danville Of
the Virginia Conference, Methodist
Episcopal Church South, question
twenty, "Are all the preachers blame
less in life and official administration ?'
was resumed. The call was continued
until all the districts mad been conplet-
ed, and all the travelling preachers pass
ed the character examination and their
reports almost without exception show
ed progress in the work. The greatest
progress was shown in the Eastern
Shore district.
The committee on conference enter
tainment submitted a report that the
conference had been invited to hold
next years session in Richmond, in
Petersburg and in Portsmouth. The
committee had decided upon Ports
mouth ss the place. The committee

ing tired out and a large number of
them having much committee work to
