REV. c. c. WOODS, D. D.

Rev. c. C. Woods, ID. D., was born in
Rocky Mount, Va, July 4. 1885, hence
has just passed his sixtieth mile-pOst il
LIES journey. lie joined the church
when in his sixteenth year. One yeal
later his father moved to Missouri and
settled near Versailles. lie was educa'
ted in Central College, Fayette, Mo-,
where he was licensed to exhort by Rev
S. ". Cope. His license 10 preach was
signed by Rev. W. NJ. Prottsman, and
dated 1860, which year he entered the
st. Louis conference.
1t has been said of him that he read
Clark's Commentary through before he
was eighteen years old. In 1879 Trinity
College, N. G., conferred on him the
degree of d. D. During his thirty
eight years in the ministry he has served
on missions, circuits, stations, districts
and as college president.
The doctor is a thorough Mason, and
has filled the highest offices within the
gift Of that noble fraternity in the state.
He was first elected secretary of the
Southwest Missouri Conference at
Miami in 1876, and has been reelected
every year since. He is one of the most
fluent preachers in his conference. Pos
sibly no other nan in the state has so
large, full and complete vocabulary of
choice words. This may be accounted
for in part by his having been born in
Virginia, and especially on the Fourth
of .July.

Rev. Mr.. Moore has been for foui
years a member Of the conference, and
in that time has done a wonderful work.

stone church costing over $1,000, leav-

Rev. W. T. Mcclure, formerly = pastor
OF the Methodist church, in this city,
preached, Tuesday night, the regular
annual sermon TO the undergraduates.
The sermon was full of fine thought and
vigorous expression. The advice was
good, though the young preachers will
find that 1t will prove hard to follow.
His theme was seli-control, which was
handled in a mastery mi The SER
NOR was more than an hour In length,
but no one felt tired. The singing was
grand, as it always is at a Methodist con-
ference.
One OF the best reports presented to the
conference was from Rev. w. c. Hill, OF
the Nevada district. 1t was as follows:
Neosho station-Sixty-three accessions;
forty on profession and twenty-three by
letter; twenty-seven dismissed; net gain,
thirty-siK; built a new church at a cost OF

and pastor paid in full; all assessments
paid in full. The bishop asked: what,
have you built a church, and yet have
your collections fuu?" MI. Hill an
swered: ayes, sir; we have the best
people on EARTH" The bishop answered:
"They seem to have a pretty good
preacher, too" The audience endorsed
the last remark.
The meeting Wednesday night was de-
voted to "Christian Education" The
address was delivered by DR.. ]. ID. Ham
mond, and was n Of deep thought and
eloquence. He proved that man was
intendedto be educated. He said there
are now secret influences at work which,
II not combatted by christian influence,
will, In fifteen years, change the face OF
civilization. He thought the state should
know that the Bible is the word Of God,
aud should say so to infidels and agnostics.
The civil authority Of London compsls the
teaching OF the Bible one hour each day.
London has learned that as the Bible 10
not read, crime increases. As education
