Conference Personals.

Rev. E. r. Taylor, one of the
new Presiding Elders appointed
last night, is an example of what a
man may accomplish in this coun-
try and in this age. With the
greatest difficulty he secured the
training from the preparatory de-
partment of Wofford, working his
way through. By the use of the
strictest economy-his expenditures
for board for one month were only
$1.75-he worked his way through
this department. He entered Wof-
ford College in 1882 with a wife
and only ten dollars in his purse.
He and his wife were boarded by a
brother-in-law during the first year.
The next year he taught school and
made enough to pay his back in
debtedness for board and to carry
him in college for another year.
The same course was pursued
through his sophomore and junior
years. He entered the senior class,
in his own words, "penniless but
with strong determination" He
made his way by chopping wood.
earning by this means some times
as much as six dollars per week,
and. having mechanical turn, by
making picket fences and such
other things as he could sell. He
says that he had the good fortune
to make fifty cents one evening by
taking the place of a washer
woman and doing some washing
for good lady"
He was given the janitorship of
the college, and for this work re-
ceived $500 per month. In De-
cember of his senior year he was
made pastor of Bethel church, the
city mission. His work was ex-
tremely heavy, but he successfully
passed his examination and received
mis- diploma, his little daughter car
rying him handsome bouquet on
his graduation day.
He is faithful and thoughtful
preacher, and his ministry has been
crowned with we'll deserved sue
cess.

CONGRATULATIONS OF THE BISHOP
Extended to Rev. W. I. Herbert Upon HIS
Good Work While In Newberry.

During the receiving of reports
at the session of Conference yes
terday morning, Bishop Duncan
complimented Rev. W. I. Herbert
very highly upon his work in New
berry, and congratulated him upon
his SUCCESS in building the hand
some church in which Conference
met. It was a compliment grace
fully done and we'll deserved.
The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1902-12-09

The appointments of the Metho-
dist preachers for the ensuing year
were read by Bishop Duncan last
night and the fearful tension has
been relieved. The number Of
changes made is not as great as that
for some years preceding There
are only three new Presiding El-
ders, seven having been retained,
but each was given a new District.
The Bishap's Address.
Bishop Duncan, before reading
the appointments, made a short
talk, which he said could not ac-
complish any special good at this
fine, bnt which he hoped would
hear fruit in the future. He said
be had been greatly embarrassed in
making the appointments by the
persistence with which some of the
ministers and many of the laymeu
had persisted-''you will under
stand that, the persistence of these
brethren who persisted in trying to
make the appointments without
consulting me. They seem to have
forgotten altogether our itenerant
system. IF one preacher has a right
to indicate his appointment, every
preacher has; if one charge has the
right to indicate its pastor, every
charge has the right You involve
yutr authorities in this matter in
such embarrassment that it IS al
nacst impossible for them TO exer-
else their best Cody Judgment.
Z beg you, quit that. IF you can
not trust us to do the very best we
can. then you ought to put your
self in somebody else's hands.
These good people in the charges
give mp most Of their rights to Sc
lect their preachers. Every man
of as ought to surrender our rights
to select our charge. I have dared
10 think-and if it was a rash thing
ON my part, I hope you will pardon
une for i'll have dared to think
chat possibly there are some who
would wait a long time before they
would get a call, if cur system were
like that of the other churches. But
your book of discipline makes me
give you an appointment whether
they want you or not.
'sNow, brethren, I have tried to
do the best / could. Some Of you
have hampered me by your re-
quests, and you have kept me from
doing as well for you, if you had
!let your case alone, as ! could have
done. have to send some of you
where you do not want to go, and
ifI could keep you from it would
not send you; but these places must
be filled. Now take it as the best
that could be done, and I beg you,
like honest m u who have vowed to
be men of one work, go to your
charge and do the best that you can.
DO not condemn it before you go to
It. Go, and try to do the best you
can, brethren. Possibly next year
you will have more pleasant
charge.
4 pray the blessing and the
guidance of Almighty God during
the coming year in your ministerial
life"
