Annual Session Masonic Grant Lodge
Here To-day.
MEETINGS ALL INTERESTING.

The forenoon conference met at 10
O'Clock for the purpose OF finishing the
business OF the conference.
At request OF the bishop. Rev. A. IL
Sutherland opened conference with devo
tiOnAl exercises, after which various com.
mittees made their reports which were
adopted.
Especially was the report on memories
OF interest and pathetic. The Rev II. G..
Matthews. presiding elder OF the III Paso
district, had died only a few days before
conference convened last week. tie came
TO this conference from the Kansas con-
ference two years ago and last year was
pastor OF the church at Roswell and this
year presiding elder OF the III Paso dis
trict. Feeble health brought him 10 this
country with the hope Of recovery, but,
like many others do, ne came too late for
recovery. In the death OF Mr.. Matthews
the church has lost one OF its most faith
ful servants and ablest ministers. He
leaves wife and four lovely children TO
mourn hia untimely death. These have
returned to their old home at Trenton,
Tenn. Many OF his brethern present this
morning spoke affectionately and feel.
Ingly OF the "fallen soldier OF the cross"
Not to mention other interesting fea-
tnres of this mornings service, we come
TO the last and most important OF all the
questions: .Where are the preachers
stationed this year,"
All other business transacted that ap-
pertains TO an annual conference. the
good bishop arose and pronounced most
sensible and touching address to the a.
semblei preachers and audience. He
dwelt on the respective and relative du-
ties OF pastor and flock In such way as
to make deep and, AZ we trust, a lasting
impression on all present for their mu-
tual good, after which he read the follow.
