As noted in these columns IN our
last issue the 10th annual conference
of the Methodist Protestant church
for the North Carolina district con-
vened here on Wednesday night OF
last week. The program for that oc-
casion however, consisted only Of in
troductory remarks by the pastor,
Rev. J. S. Williams, the address of
welcome (by Mr.. T. T. Hicks, the re-
spouse (by Rev. H. J. HartselD, ap-
propriate song service, and some an
ncuncements for the following day.
The real work of the Conference there
fore did not begin until Thursday
morning. The president, Rev. G. l..
Whitaker, presided.
The sessions throughout were well
attended, the services for most part
being of an interesting and enjoyable
nature. While the number Of visi-
tors was not quiet as large as had
been expected the delegation, both OF
ministers and laity, was quite full,
and the GOLD LEAF believes it but
voices the sentiments Of every one
when it says they thoroughly enjoyed
their stay and left favorably i'm
pressed with Henderson hospitality.
Much routine business was trans
acted. The talks made, the work
done, the spirit which the occasion
seemed to imbibe and which all felt,
visitors and home folks alike, had
tendency to greatly uplift the hearts
and strengthen and encourage both
participant and spectator. We cannot
undertake to follow the proceedings
all through-to give full and COM
prehensive account as we would like.
We had been promised such but our
'reporter' had his hands full Of
other matters and we were unable to
attend all the sessions ourself. Suffice
it to say the people of Henderson
have most favorable impression of
of the conference body, those who
attended the services greatly enjoyed
the privilege and were benefited by
so doing and the visitors returned to
their homes carrying with them most
pleasant memories of Henderson and
its hospitable people.

elected president of the Conference.
