ty for the support of the church or her
ministers.
There must not be less than three
stewards at any station or on any cir
cult. If a pastor has but one church.
he may have thirteen, or if he should
have as many as thirteen churches or
organized societies on his circuit, he
could have but!thirteen or one steward
at each place. 1t is the duty of the
stewards to Fprovide the elements of
the Lords Supper, to receive the pas
tors salaries and to,pay over the same
as the discipline directs, to pay the NOV
ing expenses of the pastors, to keep an
exact account of money or other resour-
ces received for the7support of the min
istry in the charge, and to apply the
same as the Discipline directs. The
pastor, by virtue of his position, has a
voice in all proceedings of the church
and free access to all her books, such
as church and Sunday school rec
ords, minutes of young peoples societies,
or financial accounts.
There are nO.Quorums or fixed num-
Der required to transact business in any
Of our Observation-Disclosures, therefore,
every member of this body should at
tend all these conferences, inasmuch as
the actions and decisions are as binding
u2On1 the absentees as they are upon
those who are present. The writer has
knOWledge'of case where the Presi-
ding Elder, the pastor and one man Ga
steward composed the first quarterly
conference. When it was known that
this faithful steward had reported that
they would pay the pastor a salary of
500 for the year, the absentees said:
LET him get it the best he can, we
were not;there and did not vote to give
him that amount, so we are not respon-
sible. But when the Presiding Elder
at the second quarterly conference re-
minded the ''absentees" that they were
responsible for the action taken in the
first quarterly conference just as much
as if they had been present, and unless
they decide to do their duty, it might re-
suit in trial 'for neglect of duty" and
exclude" them from the church. They
repented Of their former actions and
did credit to themselves and saved dis
grace from coming upon the church.
1t is the duty of every officer and all
other members of our church to provide
themselves with the law of our church
by securing a new Discipline every four
years and to be constant readers of
their own church papers.
All the officers of this circuit are in
good humor. We have no complaint or
fault to find with any of them.

M. {. QUARTERLY CONFERENCE.
Its Members and Their Duties TO The
Church.

Mr.. EDITOR: As there are many off,
Gals and.other members of our church
throughout the land who are not so well
Informed about the law and doings of
Methodism as they might be, and in
asmuch as this is the largest and strong
est church in all Professionalism, humid
reds of whom are regular readers of
your Wide-awake paper, | am sure YOU
will gladly give me little of your val
liable space for a.few words, if | do not
make them too MANY.
Without.going back to over a humid
red years ago, when the quarterly con-
ference was organized and telling how
1t was accomplished, we simply say
thata Methodist Quarterly Conference
is constituted by the assembling togeth-
err OF the pastors, local deacons and
preachers, the eXhorters, supernumary
and suporannuated ministers, Sunday
school uperintendents, class leaders,
stewards, trustees, presidents of Junior
Leagues ands Ladies' Aids and Epworth
Leagues, who are members of our church
and approved for membership by the
Quarterly Conference.
1t is the duty of.all these officers, ex-
cept the trustees, to make written re-
portLto.not.only one, but to the first,
second, third and fourth Quarterly Con-
ference every conference year which
begins atsthe adjournment OF each SEES
ion of the annual conference having
jurisdiction over them. The powers of
a quarterly conference does not extend
beyond the limits of its own station or
credit in charge of the pastor.
There may be nine and not less than
three trustees in every station, or in
every appointment of a circuit. To il
lustrate: if pastor has but one church
he may haveinine, and if he has seven
churches programmed societies, he may
have forty-nine trustees if he needs
them andgthinks he could manage so

THE WORLDS CASH.

Let US see how much actual cash there
is in the pocketbooks of various nations
and understand by comparison how rich
we really are. The total stock of mon
ey, in gold, silver and uncovered pa
per, in the whole world amounts in
round figures to twelve billions of dol
lars. In the United States the total
stock of money amounts to about two
billions. Hence, we have in .rour own
purse one-siXth~of all the cash of the
globe. These figures and this is a
fact which must be emphasized not
represent the wealth of nations. Far
from it. These figures represent merely
the available hard cash Divide this
hard cash Of the earth among the in
habitants there of, fand each man. wonn-
an and child would have $40. But di-
vide the hard cash of the United State.
among the people thereof and each O
us would have $25. And here is one re-
spect in which the people of foreign
country would have the better of us.
individually. Were each nation to di-
vide its cash among it's own people.
each living human being in France
would have S35, or $40 more than each
person in our country under similar cir
cumstances. Meanwhile the divided
cash of Great Britain would give each
Briton only sl8; in Germany the cash
per capita would amount to only SIT.
Russia SO and Japan So, while in Cuba
each person would get a 50 bill.
Of the worlds twelve billions in cash
two billions are right here in the Unit
ed States. And one-twenty-fif Of all
the cash in gold in the world is stored
in New York alone. This gold, this svn1-
Dol and synonym of wealth comes. like
all things, etc. from the ground, from
mines. Here, again, we lead all ma
tions, for we ourselves produce one
third of all the gold of the earth, as we
produce one-third of all the silver. Our
chief contributors to this product are
the mines of Colorado, South Dakota.
California, Idaho, Montana, Oregon.

THURSDAY, JANUARY %, 1906.
CARNATION DAY.

January tWenty-hinth is the day on
which to wear a carnation especially in
memory Of Mckinley, who was Presi-
dent of the United States when he was
killed by constituencies assassin. The
carnation is worth while anyhow. 1t is
sometimes red like blood; again white
like the new fallen snow, or it may be
pink like the cheek Of a child, and is al
ways spicily sweet with its own fra
GRANGE. When it commentaries the
memory Of a man who achieved great
ness by his own pluck and ability who
when he became the chief executive of
a great country retained all the large
ness of his heart.and freshness of his
character, it doubly worthy of place
on the dress of any strong man, noble
woman, pretty girl Or frohcksome boy.
AS long as the carnation shall bloom
may the tender memory of William Nc
Kinley survive.

Died.

SAVAGE Elizabeth Savage was born
in Wales, July 26, 1880, and died at her
home near Sand Spring, Garrett county.
Md, January 20, 1906. She was con-
verified and united with the Methodist
Episcopal church above forty years ago.
She was a CONSTANT christian, kind
and obliging neighbor and a faithful
keeper of home. Her health had been
declining ever since the death of her
husband, the late Thomas Savage, which
occurred near one year one year ago.
During her last illness she was calm and
composed, frequently expressing herself
ready for the change which was soon
to take place. The funeral services
were conducted by the writer in the
presence of large assembly of SYM
pathizing friends, and her body was laid
to the last sleep by the side of her
husband until awakened by the Arch
angels trump in that Morn.

of the small tumble down houses and
the dirty tenement, where the really
poor live, the cheerless, i'll ventilated
rooms and the dark narrow halls. Just
the other day our attention was called
to such, down on Eigh zenith street.
Such plague infected areas are the pro-
life source of disease and particularly
Of tuberculosis, for it is prominently
house breeding disease.
In every city where attention has
been given to the matter, houses have
been found where every family who had
lived in them had one or more members
to die from the disease. In my former
paper l called attention to such house
in Wheeling. No doubt there are many
such. After death or removal there
should be thorough disinfection of
the premises by the health authorities
in all cases. 1t is absolutely essential
for the authorities to know that they
may carry out disinfectant measures
" nv \ oNANAA clLC necessary.
There should be a vigorous, intelli-
gent, efficient, practical campaign of ed
ucation carried into the home. People
should be taught that consumption is a
preventable, durable disease, but there
is no drug known to science that will
cure it. 1t is not inherited, but there
may be an inherited tendency that rem
ders some persons more liable to take it
than others but even they may escape
under proper living and conditions. In
some cities committees on the proven
ton of tuberculosis are doing excellent
work. In Chicago this committee has
visiting nurses who give attention and
instructions how to prevent, and how to
cure consumption. 1t enables the sick
to get the best information and advice
in regard to treating and curing the dis
ease, prevents them injecting other
members Of the family and enables
them to secure outside aid when needed.
The antispitting ordinance should be
Strictly enforced, the gstreets cleaned
and sprinkled,g for it Eis in the dried
sputum the danger lies. We cannot too
soon provide for the inspection OF meat
and milk, for it is well known fact
that, tuberculosis in cows causes the
disease in human beings. And the prac-
tice of hanging meat outside of butcher
shops should be stopped, for it is impos-
sible to keep them from the dust of the
street, laden with disease germs.
How can the state help in this cru
SADIE? BY establishing state sanitarium
for the cure and treatment of tubercu-
losis patients toopoor or too ignorant to
take care of themselves, and in whose
squalor, filth and carelessness lies the
chief source of infection. In such
sanitarium they could not only be cured,
but taught how to live.
There are at present in Pennsylvania
1000 free beds for consumptives, count
ing city and county institutions. Hos
pitfalls should have insulated wards,9 as
for other contagious diseases. The state
should require registration Of every
case within its borders. What are we
going to do about it?
Wheeling can undertake and accom-
pllsh what other cities have done.

HEREDITARY TROUBLE CURED
BY DR.WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
How Mrs Rsnnells Freed Herself
From an Inherited
Disorder

Sufferers from ailments that have af.
fiicted in regular succession one genera
ton after another Of their family are, as
rule, inclined to submit to them as in
evitable. The case which follows proves
that such hereditary difficulties arc not
beyond the reach of curative forces and
should inspire hopefulness and a readi
ness to try remedies that have effected
signal cures, such as that which is here
given.
Mrs. Elizabeth Rannels, of No. 40s
East Seventh street, Newton, Kansas, is
a well-known resident. whose disinclina-
ton to make known her personal affairs
is overcome i'll this instance solely by her
sense OF obligation to others who may be
ignorant of the possibility of relief from
the physical sufferings which she for.
merly experienced. She gives the follow.
ing account OF her ailment and her cure
"For two years suffered from trying
nervousness in my lower limbs from my
