ing the hospitality shown them in Salisbury.
Dr.. Joshua w. Herring, speaking for the con
ference, said he had been a member OF almost
every conference during the past 35 years, and
that this session from social standpoint is
unsurpassed. The sessions were full OF inter
est and there was nothing of character ap
preaching trial or charge during the entire
session.
AT the morning session the committee on
official character called attention to the neces'
sity of incorporating churches. The whole
question was taken up and discussed by items.
F. T. Benson announced that telegram

member of the conference in 1912 and was the
next oldest to DIR. Switzerland in point OF
service in the church. After the announce
