The thirty-ninth annual session Of

the North Nashville District, read the
Scripture lesson, after which Bishop
Lee sang 81 need thee every hour"
The -Decalogue services we're OBJ
served.
Bishop Lee made a few remarks to
the Conference in which he'expressed
himself as being glad to see the
brethren and to find them apparently
in good condition spiritually, phys
ically, mentally and financially, and
to report him apparently the same.
He said further: "But do not pray for
my winding up. / am not winding up.
If holding conferences was all bish-
op had to do, six could do the work,
for any one of us can hold twenty
conferences a year, but holding con-
ferences is a very small part of our
work. | am not speaking in the in
terest of any candidate, but the day
has never been when we needed over
ten and | doubt whether the day will
ever cCme when we will need more
than that number It is an imposition
upon the people to elect more and pay
them twenty-five hundred dollars a
year" The Bishops remarks were
very pleasing to the ministers and he
was roundly applauded.
The secretary called the roll and
with few exceptions all answered to
their names.

porters would be appointed for the
daily papers. Bishop Lee stated that
the daily papers had reporter pres
ent who would look after their inter
ests, and they would pay him for his
services. He said: 81 am not in ia
e vOr of furnishing reporters for these
. dailies for nothing when they reap g
" harvest from our people," He sale
