The Board of Church Extension of
the Methodist Episcopal Conference of
West Virginia held an important meet
ing yesterday afternoon in the Fourth
Street NJ E. church. There are nine
Presiding Elder districts in the con-
ference and each district was repre-
scented at the meeting. The object of
the board is to grant financial aid to
needy churches. This is not done by
direct method, but the conference board
hears applications and makes recon-
mendations to the parent board in Phil
adelphia, which are usually granted
There were nine applicants for aid
considered at yesterdays meeting. All
come from churches in the poor noun
tain or hill districts n the interior of
the State. The requests for aid were
very modest, and the representatives
from the respective P. E. districts were
familiar with them, and furnished in
formation to supplement what was
stated in the written application. The
aggregate of requests was about $1,000,
and all were passed upon favorably.
Rev. S. X. Arbuthnot, who was chap
lain of the First regiment West Vir-
ginia volunteer infantry, was in the city
yesterday and accepted the invitation
of the Rev. DR.. j. L. Seoy, to address
the congregation of the Fourth Street
church at the regular weekly prayer
meeting held last night. He spoke at
some length and succeeded in interest
ing his hearers in the work in which
he is now engaged.
There is a general movement in the
Methodist Episcopal church to raise
what is known as a Twentieth Century
Thank Offering. The amount which
it is desired to raise by the entire
church body is twenty millions of dol
lars. West Virginia's share Of the sum
is SIPS, 900. Each conference is privi-
legged to say how its own amount shall
be expended, and the West Virginia
conference has decided to use the
money to be raised as permanent en-
dowment fund for the Conference Sem
mary at Buckhannon.
The Rev. Mr. Arbuthnot is engaged
in this work, which is a big undertake
ing, but which he engages in very
cheerfully and hopefully. He stated
to a Register reporter last night that
he expects to return to Wheeling, and
to devote two months to his work in
this city. He will close with big raj
ly at one of the churches.
The Rev. j. r. Thompson, Of
Brooklyn, N. Y, was in the city yes
terday to attend the funeral Of the late
Mrs. S. P. Hubbard. The Rev. Mr..
Thompson is a former Wheeling clergy
man. He was pastor of the Chapline
Street II. E. church quarter of a CEN
fury ago, and was one Of the ablest and
most popular ministers in the city.
He was scholarly, cultured and mag
nifcent pulpit orator, and his ability
soon placed him in more exalted posi-
tons. After conducting several charges
in West Virginia, he became President
OF the State University at Morgan
