THAT ministers are human was very
forcibly illustrated at the M. E. Confer
ence in Camden last week during spirit
ed debate on the question of changing the
time for holding the annual sessions. DR..
Gamble stated that DR.. J. B. Graw had
told him certain thing. This brought
the latter to his feet with the assertion
tibet DIR. Gamble was misrepresenting
Another minister made fiery speech in
which he resented ''the dictation of a GER
tain few members of conference" So
heated did the discussion become that the
Bishop presiding said more excitement
was being shown over this affair than over
the possible war with Spain. At another
point the Bishop called a member to order
with the remark that the language being
employed would hardly be tolerated in q
political convent on, at the same time
ordering the discussion to cease.

AN instance of how easy it is for a hot
headed and rash person to create excite
ment and unnecessary uproar was given
last week in the city of Beverly. Orders
were sent to the captains of the militia
throughout the state to have their COM
mands in shape to respond on minutes
notice. Among those thus notified was a
captain in Beverly. Perhaps he had in
mind those lines:
His not to reason why
His but to do or die"
or possibly he thought the honor and
safety of the nation conferred in his COM
mand. At any rate, he literally obeyed
the ORDER and with the ringing of bells
and the blowing of whistles he soon had
the city in an uproar. The fact that some
members of the company lived in a town
a dozen miles away and were engaged in
earning their bread was of no account in
this great emergency and they must haste
away, don uniform and stand ready to
march. And so far as we know they are
still standing. There are those who are
disposed to criticise this officer, yet it is
hard to tell whether to censure or praise
him. What motives actuated him Did
he carry out the order as he actually un-
derstood it 7 If so, is he ignorant or is he
much smarter than the many other Of
fcers who received the same orders, but
who did not put their commands in uni
form2 IF he is ignorant should he be
punished? If he obeyed orders that 9th
ers disregarded should he be promoted to
higher position while those who failed
to see as he did, are contaminated, or
otherwise punished1 If he compelled his
command to assemble without any neces-
sity therefor, should he be made to pay
the members for their lost time Of course
the excitment and distress of mind af-
Aicted upon the community cannot be
compensated. If the gallant captains in
tention was to literally obey orders, to be
prepared as he thought he was instructed,
he is above criticism for calling his men
together, although the means employed
are not If his desire was merely to show
that he had fine company, under strict
discipline; if he only wanted to give an
object lesson to crafty vanity, he should
be given another lesson of very different
character. The situation is one of gravity
and demands GOODNESS and deliberation
rather than superficial exhibitions.
