was again referred to Il committee oi
fifteen composed of preachers and lay
members to report to the conference
for final action.

pioneer preachers of the conference

of appreciation by the conference loi
lis faithful service.

Frank f. Mossman, Martin ID. Bush,
and Elmer M. Gable, were passed IN

Whitford and j. Ralph Magee, who had

conference course, were elected to full
membership. At this time one of the
important events of an annual confer
ence took place. The bishop addressed
the class of young men to be admitted
and as this has been anticipated by the
community the church was filed. the
large congregation listened with in
tense feeling to the mastery address
by the bishop. 1t is safe to say that
not only the young men to be admitted
to the conference but every preacher
who listened to the bishop, will go
forth to his work with q better UNDER
standing of his call as a minister of the
gospel.

r,ive,sa of the Womans Foreign Mis-
sionary Society. Addresses were made
by Miss Frances E. Phelps. of Japan,

tended and service of great spiritual
interest.

dresses were made by the Revs. j. B.
Trimble, ID. D., and j. C. Floyd, field
secretaries of the missionary society.
