pOKIHG FUN AT THE PRESIDING ELDER

NEWARK, April IA, lS97.-When it
became known that the appointments
would not be read until late yesterday
afternoon the members of the Newark
Methodist Conference were very tardy in
putting in an appearance in Centenary
Church. But by the time fixed for the
afternoons session, half past two o'clock,
the galleries were crowded and outside
OF the members seats the ladies had
m~onopolized every place. They even sat
within the bar of the house and when
| the ~unpunctual brethren turned up they
were. obliged, some of them, to find seats
within the chancel rail, on the rail itself
and in the aisles.
When the session opened Professor H.
A. Buttz presided IN the absence of
Bishop Andrews who was with his cabinet
fixing up the appointments. AS there
was not very much business to do the
brethren became frivolous and had lots
of fun with each other. For instance
replied Professor Landon, n Conference
Institute, moved If the presiding elders in
making their report would not fill them
| SO full of undressing details the Con-
ference would cheerfully accept the
change.
That's not fair since the presiding
elders are not here to defend themselves
said Rev. DIR. j. /. Boswell.
They'll read 1t in the minutes" airily
Professor Laudon moved that in future
roared with laughter.
Rev. J. M. Freeman in presenting the
report of the HackettStown Collegiate
Institute moved that the Legislature be
petitioned to pass an act giving permits
sion to change the charter of the college
so that there may be twenty trustees in
stead of twelve. 1t was carried.
Rev. j.. R. Daniels was unanimously
elected Evangelist for the Conference.

the memories of wives of pastors be.
printed in tho minutes but not read
alNJ1d at tIn rnapo0riol carxiaac for fho
reason, he said, that they ought to be
allowed to rest In peace.
