CONFERENCE AT HUMBOLDT.
Preliminary Exercises and Services
in Progress.


in Progress.
| Humboldt, Tenn, Nov. IT,
Numerous Methodists arrived on
every train this morning with the
hope Of hearing Bishop f. R. Hem
dirk preach at II O'clock at the
Methodist Church. A full hour
before the appointed time, how.
ever, every vacant seat in the large
church was taken and scores were
disappointed. The Bishops great
sermon was one as is heard in
Humboldt probably twice in a cen
tury.
Rev. w. e. Thompson, of Cen
trail Church, Memphis, preached a
great sermon at IL o'clock to an
audience of 800 people-the seat
ing capacity of the house--and a
number also failed to gain admit
tance into the church. AT the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church
DR.. w. I. Boiling, of Broadway
Church, Paducah, delivered char
acteristically strong address to an
audience that filed the house to
overlooking.
Or. j. II. Stevenson, of Nash
vile, preached at the Presbyterian
Church; Kfsey. j. w. Watera at the,
Christian Church and Rev. +. +.
Smith at the q. M. K. Church at
II o'clock.
Among the big lay delegates to
Memphis Conference whose faces
have been often seen in Humboldt
during the past FIVE days are Edi-
tor Jack Reeves, Of the Hardeman
Free Press; Hon. w. S. Coulter.
of Dyer; Judge X. Bond, Of
Brownsville; Hon. I. B. King
and John r.. Pepper, of Memphis,
and Jerry Porter, Of Clinton.
lit doesn't matter how much
money q Methodist preacher takes
to annual Conference, be always
goes away broke, was the remark
Of prominent lay delegate, upon
witnessing collection being taken
up for some charitable purpose.
He was right; the preachers al
most run over each other to give
their money to any cause that
bears the earmark Of worthiness,
md there may be rich preacher
md a poor one the first day Of
Conference, but the two leave it
IN an equality.
AT the anniversary Of the Board
i Education Of the Memphis Con-
erence last night, Dr. Collins Den
y, of Vanderbilt University, made
notable address in which he i'm
'ressed upon his hearers the value
t helping the youth to form
ign ideal.
Following are some extracts
rom Bishop Hendricks address:
Selfshness is the bridge where
ian goes back to the animal; self
lcrifce, the wings whereby he
les back to heaven. Friendship
man is stronger than friendship
{ woman. OF man it's the friend
Zip of the high reason--of women
le friendship Of the laborer. OF
