Other Appointments for Oakland
District-rlt. Lake Charge Vacant.

The Fifth-Eighth COME euce of the
Methodist Episcopal church of West
Virginia which met at Grafton last
Tuesday, complete its labors Mon
day of this week and adjourned after
the appointments for the current
year had been announced
Prior to the appointments being
made known there was considerable
uneasiness apparent among the gen
tlemen composing the Conference as
none knew exectly what was to hap
pen-whether they were to be return
ed to their old charges, removed to
new ones in the district or be sent
into entirely new territory.
Rey. J. B. Workman, who has been
pastor of the Davis congregation for
the past five pears, has been appoint
ed to the pastorate of the St. Paurs
church in Oakland. DR.. Scott. who
has very acceptably been in charge
here for three years has been appoint
ed pastor at Terra Alta. While the
people of Oakland, irrespective of de-
nomination, have become greatly
attacked to the Doctor and will be
sorry to learn of his removal to an
other part of the district, they will
nonetheless heartily welcome Mr..
Workman who has been looked upon
as a strong man in the Conference.
The appointments for the Oakland
district are as follows:
DR.. R. B. Ward, presiding elder.
Albright, E. O. woodward.
Aurora, l.. A. McNemar.
Bayard, D. F. Carder.

together with county Sunday school
officials. All of the speakers are
| specialists on the subjects which have
been assigned to them, and will speak
with authority and from a thorough
knowledge of conditions.
Six sessions will be held, beginning
Thursday morning, October 81, and
continuing until Friday night, three
MEETINGS. day. The sessions will be
held morning, afternoon and evening
with sufficient intervals for social in
tercourse and refreshments. 1t is in
tended that these services shall af-
ford the Sunday school workers of
Maryland considerable instructionand
enthusiasm and the results will read
lily show in the renewed interest taken
in each school in the State. 1t is hop
! ed that the workers who attend the
sessions will return to their schools
and give them the benefit of the iu-
struction afforded by the convention,
thus building up the Sunday school
work all over the State.
The delegates will be seIec ted O the
basis .of the numerical strength of
each school. Each school will be en-
titled to one delegate for everv 100 pu-
pills or fraction thereof, and each
county will be entitled to two dele
gates, who shall be appointed by the
county executive committee or county
secretary. 1t is estimated that there
are 100000 pupils inthe various schools
OF the State, and on the basis of rep
resentation the entire number of
schools should be entitled to $500 del
egates. twill not be possible, how
eyer to induce this number to attend
the convention, although they could
be cared for were they all to attend.
1t is also estimated that each delegate
that attends the convention repre-
sents 90 workers; thus, on the basis of
1000 expected delegates, putting the
the total number engaged in Sunday
school work in Maryland at 10000.
The convention delegates and speak
ers will be entertained in Baltimore
homes this year, as in the past, on
what is known as the "HarYardn
plan-lodging, breakfast and supper.
Lunch will be provided by churches
in the vicinity of the convention
church for the delegates, visitors are
expected to make other arrangements
for their entertainment. On arriving
in the city the delegates will report to
headquarters in Grace Methodist
Episcopal Church, where they will be
greeted by the local entertainment
committee, registered and assigned to
homes prepared for them. They will
also be welcomed at the office of the
State Union, $40 MOI tn Charles street.
A feature of the convention each
year has been what is termed an "ed-
ucational bazar." This is an exhibit
of Sunday school publications, appli-
ances, ETC., and carries with it an edu-
cation similar TO that afforded by
trip to the Worlds Fiar, This year it
is planned that the educational ex-
hibit shall be located in Grace Meth
odist Episcopal and Cummings Mem
orial Ref. Episcopal churches, and the
booths will be presided over by the
special representatives of each firm

BANQUET THE MEN
WALThAM COMPANY GIVES FEAST TO
ITS EMPLOYEES THURSDAY
MOST PLEASANT RELATIONS EXIST
EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES PLEDGE
LOYALTY TO EACH OTHER

Officers and directors of the Waltham
Mining and Milling company rendered
their employees a banquet Thursday
night at the Hotel de Paris, and the
event proved TO be most pleasant de-
parture from the usual custom OF sever
ing social relationships between employ
ers and employees when the monthly
pay checks exchange ownership The
occasion furnished the company with an
opportunity to publicly express to their
employees their belief in and regard tor
them, not alone as workmen, but as
associates and fellowmen. That the men
fully appreciated the spirit in which
the banquet was rendered, was evidenced
by the voluntary and spontaneous ex-
pressions from each participant, aud
without doubt today there is closer
relationship existing between the
Waltham company and the employees
than ever before, and where such feel
ing is found. there is harmony and
singleness OF purpose-success. Mining
affairs and "shop talk" was eliminated,
the central idea being to dismiss business
cares for the time. enjoy social commun-
ion and feast upon the good things pro-
vided. While there were no attempts
made at boquet throwing, both the
officers and their guests pleged fealiy
to the cause in which they were
mutually interested. and the whole pro
dueed a spirit of good fellowship that
was most enjoyable.
The banquet room OF hotel DE Paris
was thrown open to the fortunate guests
at $500 O'Clock, all arrangements for the
feast being left entirely in the hands Of
that prince Of Chefs" A. II. Page, which
was a sufficient guarantee that nothing
was omitted, overlooked or unperformed,
