"Quakerized," that is, they have not
been taught to give, but we are deter
mined to Methodize it by the help Of
the good Lord, if that shall mean to
lay upon them the obligation to give
more literally to the benevolences, and
to pay their pastors better salaries.
The conventions of the year have
been we'll attended, and profitable
withaI. The District Lyceum, held
in Ridgeville in October was an occa-
sion of brotherly love and spiritual
pentecost. Emphasis was placed up
on the vital things of the ministry.
Not a disappointment was experience
ed in the attendance, faithful perform
ance of duty and profit derived
The gatherings of the young people
in the District Epworth League con-
vention in June at Farmland, was a
storm of youthful enthusiasm. Spleen
did interest was manifested at every
service
The Benevolent conventions were
held throughout the charges according
to the plan projected by the mission
airy secretary of the district. Some
have thought them needless. if not
worthless, but the consensus of opln-
ion among the brethren is that they
are educative and helpful.
Ladies' Societies Alive.
The ladies' societies are manifestly
alive TO their interests. The Woman's
Foreign Missionary society is a splen-
did educator of the cause of missions.
The latest news from the field is
cleaned each month. and given en-
phasis to in their monthly meetings.
The district meeting this year was held
at Economy. and pronounced one or
the very best Mrs. Ruley, the district
president is Vigilant in her work and
enthusiastic. The Woman's Home
Missionary society keeps even pace
with her sister society in the work Of
building up the kingdom. Many from
tier preachers have been sharers CT
the beneficences of, and many kindly
ministrations offered by this society.
A delightful and profitable convention
was held in Ridgeville in October.
/ cannot speak in too high terms OF
the work of the Ladies Aid society
Suffice it to say. many churches would
never be built nor repaired. old debts
would not be paid and many preach
er would do on less salary were 1t not
for this society of elect ladies. who
take I'D any burden. their too often in
dolent brethren put upon them. How
some people have heart to condemn
do not know.
For me the impression of my child
hood has not faded. that the chief |
business of a Methodist preacher Is
TO save sinners and strengthen believ- |
ers. To this work the preachers ad- /
dressed themselves. Early III the
year we began planning for an az
campaign of evangelism.
Two district campmeefIngs were al
ranged for. The one for the south
ern part of the district was held IN
