"True Christian Faith and an I'm
true Fanaticisn," was the subject un-
der discussion during the thirty min
utes' devotional exercises Of the Will
mington NJ. e. Conference at this
mornings session. Many Of the pas
tors expressed their views on the sub
ject.
Bishop Goodsell, in expressing the
distinguishing FEATURES as he saw them,
said that fanaticism never is humble,
never is teachable, and never is Iowa
bic. but always is ready to pour out
gall and bitterness. Where love is alb
sent, Christ is absent. The bishop
quoted a portion of a sermon from an
eminent minister in which the differ
ence was explained in the expression
that The Christian man possesses his
ideas. while the fanatic is possessed by
his ideas"

length upon the young pastors sue
cessful work. but finally withdrew his
motion and Mr. Covey was continued

MINISTER'S AID THE AFFLICTED.
The case of K. n. Cantwell was by
far the saddest case considered, and the
members Of the Conference, including
Bishop Goodsell, dempnstrated their
sympathy in a substantial manner. BY
request of the presiding elders the
bishop informed the conference that
Mr.. Cantwell was afflicted with rheu-
matism. from which his joints we're
becoming stiff, and unless he could
have perfect rest for a short time the
disease might prove fatal. It was on
account of this affliction that the com
mittee recommended his continuance
on trial.
The bishop followed the explanation
with an appeal to the pastors and men,
bers of the conference to make up a
purse of 5000 for the purpose of helping
Mr.. Cantwell to maintain himself and
family until his health was improved
Some minister in the church said:
Pass around the plate"
NO" objected the bishop. III we do
that the contribution will only amount
NJ to s4S.56."
The bishop led off by giving s. to the
NJ fund. and in an incredible short time
there was 1904 subscribed. Mr. Can't
well was then called before the bishop
NJ who presented him the money III brief
but touching manner.
When sufficiently controlled, Mr.
81 Cantwell thanked the contributors IL
