The first meeting Of the week to which
the public will be invited is the session
Of the Methodist Historical Society,
which meets on Tuesday night. These
sessions are always full of interest and
largely attended. The session this year
will have unusual interest. Perhaps the
greatest man Methodism of the last half
century has produced was the late Rev.

ablest living member of the conference
Elder Of the Raleigh District On Tues
day night at eight o'clock, DR.. Yates
will deliver an address on DR.. Gloss. The
speaker knew DR.. Gloss well for many
years, served under him as young
preacher and was afterwards his asso-

therefore speak from a thorough knowl-
edge Of the man whose greatness he will
portray.
EXAMINING CANDIDATES..

an approved examination. Then for the
two succeeding years, he must pass still
harder examinations before he can be or
dained as a deacon. Two more years
must he be examined and pass satisfacto-
rily before he is made an elder, the high
est rank in the Methodist ministry. The
