Of New York, entered upon MS pastorate
at the Washing on Street Baptist Church to-
day In introducing himself to his congre-

will and the kindly words which had been
spoken concerning his ministry. Kind
words. he said, went a great way. but they
must not expect too much Of him. He did
not think he said. he had come &c preach
TO a congregation Of angels. and they might
find him a bundle of contradictions. but
they must bear with him in his work. He
selected as his text this evening the words.

tional services.
The strains OF the opening hymn had no
sooner died away than stranger with long
whiskers arose in his seat and began TO
harangue the audience. He gestieulated
wildly and shouted at the top OF his voice.
The proceedings of the Conference were in
terrupted for several minutes and the
eyes OF every delegate were on the speak

Ushers stepped up and finally persuaded
the man to sit down and remain quiet. The
man created scene one evening last week
by interrupt;ng the anniversary meeting OF
the Sunday School Union and Tract Socie-
ty. He is delegate to the Conference. but
his name could not be learned.
The discussion on the amusement ques-
tion filled much of the spare time OF the
delegates and there seemed to be a general
feeling among both ministers and laynen
that two important problems will be soon
brought before the big gathering for So
luton. amusements and the time limit on

small changes in discintIne will probably
be made, but the clergy viii stand united
