of Baltimore rendered hearty reception

Rev. Anthony Bikousky and wife. The
greeting, extended with true Maryland
hospitality. was in honor OF the pastors
advent here as the successor to Rev. Il.
HI. Pullman. The parlors of the church
were crowded with memb ers and friends
of the congregation and an enjoyable
informal evening was spent.
Mr.. Bilkousky was introduced to the
gathering by Mr.. Herbert G.. Geer, Su-
perintendent OF the Sunday-school, in
a brief address of welcome to which the
pastor responded in pleasing style. en-
phasizing the beauty, the worth, the
necessity of Christian fellowship, and
thanked all for their cordial greeting to
himself and family.
During the evening miscellaneous

sic. and recitations was rendered. At
the close of the reception bounteous re
freshments we're served by the ladies OF
the church.
On Sunday, September 10Th, Mr.. Bill

text. Bilkousky extended word of
greeting to the congregation and ex-
pressed his qualification at the new re-
lation Of pastor and people. The SER
mon from Matthew vi, 33.
This ministry in Baltimore bids fair
to be one of rich reward and the church
looks to him confidently for the main
tainance and healthy growth of this
large faith in the community. Mrs.
Bilkousky comes to Baltimore from the
Third Univerealist church in Lynn.

and energy into the work.
Mrs. Storms reports this pleasing in

which she says is from a gentleman
who did not give anything to us at the

THE NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE.

The second annual session of the State
Conference of North Carolina met at
Red Hill church. Sampson county, Sept
17-19. Much interest was manifested
throughout the meeting. At our Satur-
day and Sunday services the whole grove
was thronged with people eager to hear
the sermons of DIR. @. H. Shinn. So
large was the attendance on Sunday
morning that it was deemed expedient
to have grove meeting" on Sunday
afternoon, in order that all might hear.
The beauty of the grove meeting" how
ever was slightly msrred by threaten
ing cloud which began to rise near the
close of the discourse, which surely
must be ranked among the grandest SER
mons that ever resounded in that forest.
The rising cloud caused many to dis
perse; and so the appeal for funds for
church extension in recommendation
submitted to the Conference and adopt
ed-was not responded to as it other
wise would have been.
The people who attended the Confer
ence at Red Hill went to hear, and they
left benefited. The sermons of DIR.
Shinn were irresistible, and no unpreju-
dicial mind could fail to see the truth
which they portrayed.
Among the reports of the various
committees is that submitted by the
com mittee on resolutions, and is as fol-
lows:
~. Resolved that we greatly regret
the absence of DIR. Clayton. the venera-
BILE pastor Of Red Hill, who has for many
years faithfully proclaimed for us the
gospel of good news" On the behalf
of the State Conference we hereby ex-
press the sincere desire that he may yet
be spared many years to consecrate to
the noble work of his life.
~. Resolved that we desire to express
to DR.. @. H. Shinn our appreciation of
the grand work that he has accomplished
in our state; and we hope that every
sincere Universalist will heartily CO.
operate with him in his untiring efforts
to extend our faith.
The appointment of the time ard place
of the next annual session of the State
Conference was left with the Executive
Committee as follows:

Matthews. Secretary; Mrs. O. j. Carroll,
Treasurer; Hon. w. M. King and Mre.
