~ BEAUTIFUL etRAiYER
/ Or. Starr offered up an exceedingly
] beautiful ard touching prayer ,nat affect
ed almost the entire conference to tears.
Atits conclusion q resolution was adopted
authorizing the Bishop to convey TO Or.
Smith the message CT it's love and SYM
pathy.
BLshop Duncan then called Rev. ]. II.
AIniss, presiding elder OF The Rappahan-
neck District, TO the chair, and took his
departure. Before conference adjourned
telephone message was received stating
that DR.. Smith was better and might be
able to attend the morning session to-
morrow.
The discussion OF the Bible Society of
Virginia was renewed DR.. Whitehead
making an eloquent address in its behalf
! He said that the trouble was. that the
/ collections for this cause were taken up
/ once year, generally after all other col
| lections had been taken. often on the last
| Sunday of the conference year: that other
! collections were by assessment, but this
/ collection was crowded into q corner and
/ the cause of the society was not pushed.
/ Mr.. J. P. Branch, of Richmond, mem
| Der of the society. endorsed the remarks
! OF DR.. Whitehead. He declared that
while the management of the society was
not all that it might be, that did not re-
/ litNc Tie Spi4S! eilte Oh us TSSpcHSfDiilLS ,
! that the Methodist Church was collecting
| thousands for foreign heather and only
| $500 a year for Ike heather right at our
| doors The society, he said. was selling
its publications at less than it cos to
make them, and was doing a great work
| in the State.
SAVED TO THE PEOPLE.
Mr.. Lipscomb declared that he had no
I Intention Of making an attack on the So
EletE, but he thought that information
was needed. He asked Mr.. Campbell what
/ the sales for the year amounted to- Mr..
| Campbell said about 5000. Mr.. Lips
comb asked how much of lnis was used
for the expenses of the business. Mr..
Campbell said the society saved the peo-
pie $1,000 year in the purchase of Bibles.
| About this time Rev. DR. j. W. BIeGsoe
made the point of order that there was
| nothing before the house. and that the
discussion was out of order. The presid-
| ing officer said that the discussion was n
| legacy beGueathed to him by Bishop
| Duncan, and he knew nothing about it's
| sta tbs rs to ORDER. There was some
i further desultory discussion. bringing out
the fact that the society furnishes it's
publications gratuitously when properly
called upon.
