course that was great theological
study and an excellent moral lesson.
II is the custom in the church for the
annual conference sermon to be deliv-
erred by the presiding bishop on the
Sunday of the session, and it is usually
the most important event of the con-
ference. Bishop Cranston preached for
an hour and twenty minutes.
The music rendered by the excellent
church choir was most appropriate in
the service.
Conference Love Feast.
Preceding the morning preaching
service the conference love feast was
held, and it was one of the most inter
esting services of the conference SEES
sion.
The experiences of DR.. ]. G.. Evans,
one of the oldest members of the con-
ference, was a feature. 1t was just So
years ago when DR.. Evans became
member, and he stood yesterday and
related his experiences of over half
century of effective work. He has
done great work in his ministry; has
accomplished much for the church, and
when these facts are known his re-
marks can be appreciated to the full
est extent. DR.. Evans said that he
had enjoyed good health during his
long term of service with the excep-
ton OF the last year or two when he
was i'll on different occasions. He said
that he was grateful for these things,
and hoped to do even more work for
the cause
DR.. Evans was for many years presi-
dent of Hedding college, and was pre-
siding elder also for a number of years
III which work he was successful to a
marked degree. He has been in the
forefront of every reform movement;
has done the church great honor and
himself great credit.
DIR. Cummings Talks.
DR.. Joseph Cummings, also one of
the oldest members of the conference,
spoke very briefly and related inter
esting incidents of his ministry
He too was one of the successful pres
idents of Hedding college, and one of
the conference presiding elders during
which work he has left a very potent
impress upon the religious life and
educational institutions i'll Central Hi
noiS.
Rev. Henderson Ritchic.
Rev. Henderson Richie said that
with one exception he was the only
surviving member of the conference
present at this session of those who
were present at the time of his en-
trance many years ago. These remin-
iscences were exceedingly interesting
| and the prompt and varied testimo-
MES were full of inspiration. In ac-
cOrdance with the custom at the close
of the love feast collection was tax
en- for the superannuated ministers
which from the apparent response
amounted to Il large sum.
Annual Conference Sermon.
At 1G:20 the services commenced
and the annual conference sermon was
delivered by Bishop Earl Cranston
Rev. II. B. Williams, d. D.
pastor of the First Methodist church
presided. Bishop Cranston's text was
specially appropriate for the service
He selected his theme from the text
God saw everything that was mad
and it was very good" 1t was a great
effort; a masterpiece of consecutive
and lucid thinking. and at times the
impression upon the audience was pro
found. Through the entire discourse
the bishop received excellent atten
ton.

More Funds RAISED.

During the regular service preceding
the dedication exercises Rev. w p. Mac
Vey made an appeal for another sub
scription. and in a short time $204 was
raised in large subscriptions. Rev
MacNey, who shortly goes to Hedding
college, at the close of the evenings
program also made a short address to
his congregation expressing his regret
at leaving Il charge where he had OBJ
tanned many fond relations. The church
and its people he stated will remain
ever happy remembrance with him,
and no matter where his work takes
him. his associations here can always
be looked back upon as forming one
of the best periods of his life.
The speaker of the evening during
the regular exercises was Rev. Thomas
DOney, ID. D., one of the ministerial
delegates to the Methodist conference
who dwell upon the comparative worth
of the generous church member and
the well-tO-dO man who enjoys only the
world and its luxury. He emphasized
the blessing and the peace of mind
which permeates the man who aids in
benevolent church associations and the
satisfaction obtained from knowing
that others less fortunate have received
a ray of sunshine from its work.

shin. In figuratively describing the
meaning of the figure of an angel whose
bare feet in treading the earth would
be cut by the thorns and rocks he
added that he chad never been such q
fool as to not know when he had hurt
or injured his own physical person and
did not respect the people who claim
jury" Another error which he men
toned was the manner in which some
religiously inclined persons like to live
entirely in space and not keep their
feet upon the earth, believing that their
righteousness is such that the earth is
not a fit place to live upon.
In closing the speaker made an ap'
peal for every person to accept the
peaceful rest of the mountain and the
sea. and above all the pure and up
lifting rest which comes in association
with Christ.

CHILEAN Oddities.

There are some oddities in Chill
connected with the sphere of woman
that deserve mention, One is that
women act as conductors on the
street cars. Everywhere, the passen-

with her bag, and collecting the coins

petitor, and much more politely, In
the shoe store all the statesmen are
girls and women, and in the telegraph
offices in city and country, young wom-
