session al Salisbury, Nd, adjourned last
Tuesday evening. A dispatch to the Balti-
more Sun on April II, says
The delegates and ministers unite in extoll-
ing the hospitality shown them in Salisbury.
DIR. 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 a social standpoint Is
unsurpassed. The sessions were full of inter-
est and there was nothing of q character APP
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 q telegram
had been received that Rev. DIR. j. J. Murray
had died at his home in Pittsburg, Pa, in the
early morning. This announcement caused
intense regret and DR.. Herring moved that q
memorial service be held in the afternoon,
which was done. DR.. Murray was made
member of the conference in 1912 and was the
next oldest to DIR. Switzerland in point of
service in the church. After the announce
ment of the death of DIR. Murray, the confer.

AT the memorial services some very strong and
touching speeches were made on the lite ana
