All these being done the brethren began
suggesting things. Rev. Daniel Halleron
asked for an executive session on Satur-
day. Mr.. Halleron explained that when
the conference, as it often did, desired to
discuss very delicate matters relating to
the character of pastoral candidates it
wasn't fair that these dreadful news
IA ls-lat Z,
proceedings.
They are omnipresent, you know" ex-
planned Brother Halleron.
Then, whats the use of an executive
secret session; they'll be there, too?" said
Rev. DR.. Charles R. Barnes, and there
was a hearty laugh.
Secretary Dodd's reading of the cost of
publishing the minutes started fifteen
minutes of talk whether or not the
memorials should be printed. The ex-
pense was the stumbling block
1T isn't necessary to put in a long
eulogy of the dead BROTHER said Rev.
]. /. Boswell. Put in his appointments
and one line win do for his character"
That's right shouted Rev. DR..
Thomas H. Landor of the Bordentown
Military Institute, one of the funny men
of the conference, land should recomm-
mend to the editor to study and follow
the advice of one named Barnabas, in the
Old Testament, on brevity." Cloud laugh
ter, in which the Bishop joined.)
This advice is like everything else
gratuitous-not appreciated" said Rev.
J. L. Hayes, whose rising drew all eyes
TO him, for the brethren always hear some
amusing words from the venerable pas
tor; ''let the editor publish what he
pleases; it amuses him and the fellow he
is writing about can't kick" (Mueh
laughter.) Now, talking about executive
sessions"
who was?" interrupted Rev. DR.. Bald
win.
IT was and am,'' retorted Brother
Hayes, "and l think if we had one on
Saturday morning it would be the right
thing
This, started discussion as to the hold
ing of the secret session. Some wanted
it on Friday and others on Saturday.
Rev. DR.. J. R. Bryan said there should be
committee to arrange services on Sat
urday morning in side chapel for the
ladies' while the pastors were locked up
in executive session; but Rev. j. L. Hayes

op, he said:-
Now, there's no need for the committee
to do anything of the kind. The ladies,
God bless them. will have their domestic
duties to attend to on Saturday morning
and can't be here" Gaughter)
"You are bachelor and consequently
your knowledge of their duties is unre-
liable" said pastor near him, and there
was a shout of laughter.
It was agreed that the executive session
should be held on Saturday. The confer
ence then adjourned. This afternoon will
be held the Womens Foreign Missionary
Society, with Mrs. F. d. Gamewell as the
principal speaker. Mrs. ]. H Knowles
will preside.
Tonight there will be two important
meetings held in Jersey City. The first
is the anniversary of the Sunday School
Union and Tract Society, to be held in

man will preside and the speaker will be

The second meeting is that of the ami
versary of the Church Extension Society,
| to take place in Linden Avenue M. E.
