 We thank the Rev J. H. Lane, O. Gaylordsville. for his interesting article concerning the New York Conference and which he voluntarily furnished the NEWS. We cannot understand how ht found time to write it while attending Conference, therefore we doubly ap. preciate his kindness. By the way, M Lane did noble work, labor of lov e in the spring of 1875 when he was p as tor of the M E. Church in Canaan ant preached m historical sermon concern ing Methodism in this section. Sait sermon was published in the NEWS il April 1875, and some idea of its com pleteness may he gained from the fac room could not be made for it in on, issue of the NEWS, and it was continued through three subsequent issues. M Lane builded better than he knew to better than others knew) and that ser mon IS such an authority on Methodisn in this section thas even to this day tn, Methodist ministers in this section come to the NEWS office and on the fl of the paper read said sermon whicl gives historical information that the, cannot obtain from any other know source.
