sermon preached by DR.. f. f. Hoss, on
Luke 1877. His discourse was wholly

Sunday school Arniversary.
The last annual conference realizing
that they had 581 Sunday schools, consist
ing of $4,000 pupils, adopted the resolu-
tion that the second night of each annual
conference should be devoted to a Sun
day school anniversary. The anniver-
sary last night was the initial one. and
addressed by DR.. James Atkins. Sunday
school editor. in a deeply interesting
speech, which held the large audience
for more than an hour. 1t was full of
interesting and encouraging facts, given
in an earnest and impressive manner.
The second day of the conference
rounded up, as the first, without anyun-
pleasant features. The session is marked
with good nature, earnest work, pru-
dence and skill in the dispatch of bust
ness, and a rather extraordinary revela-
lation of brotherly kindness and unanim-
ity. The Bishop pushes the work with
out hurry. This Is his second presidency
of the Tennessee conference. and it is
safe to say that no bishop has given more
satisfaction in the chair, on the plat
form, and in the pulpit than he,
