little mild fun at the expense of
Governor Voorhees's city arose over the
place to hold the next conference. Rev.
DR.. George c. Wilding of Elizabeth said
that the pastors of that city extended an
invitation to hold the sessions of 1902

mere is Elizabeth?' asked one
brother
do we have to live in the country?''
exclaimed Rev. DIR. j. r. Bryan, who
lives at Someville
"oh, no." replied Brother Wilding, ''you
don't, and there are trolley cars even to
Somerville and Plainfeld." Gaughter)
win be well entertainment asked Rev.
Dr. Chas. r. Barnes with an eye to
worldliness.
Il can only write history and not
prophesy." was the guarded reply and
the preachers laughed heartily.
When lady by the name of Eliza
beth invites us we ought not to decline
said Rev. DR.. Boswell. and the invitation
was accepted.
Whlle all this was going on Presiding
Elder John Krantz was fidgetting in his
seat. He had a piece of paper in his
hand and when chance to catch the
Blshop's eye came he was on his feet.
The paper contained resolution signed
Revs. Charles R. Barnes. ]. R. Bryan
and J. B. Faulks. requesting the Bishop
to combine as far as possible charges in
rural districts.
1t is all very well to say combine and
initiate trusts" said the presiding elder.
but it is very delicate matter There
are something's which we ought to do and
want to do, but can't do, just like the
cabinet with the transfers. There are
some charges which we ought to COM
bine and yet we can't. Why, there are
some charges which pay its pastor $3.50
a year, pay their taxes, own their build
ings ana pay their benevolent contribu-
tions. Combine two of these and each
say will pay half of the $780, and the re-
suit is that the preacher of these com
bined charges has to preach two or three
times Sunday and travel five or six
miles over the country. Our young
preachers have got to have a place to
begin in They must have some people
to practice upon. Gaughter) I want
to say that have sixteen supply men
on my district and they do the best work.
We should, I say, go slow in this matter
of combined charges
DR.. John L. Hayes popped up at this
point ana Kept on shouting, privilege,
while the bishop was hammering with his
gavel for order.
'.State your CASE said the biship.
81 want Brother Krantz to with draw
the reflection on many preachers when he
made a comparison of work done in his
district. He
"Oh, I'll withdraw, If that's what wor-
rying you, brother" said the presiding ell
der. and then the incident closed.
