has been greatly enjoyed. Many matters
came up for action and were disposed of.
merry jaunting party, consisting Of
nearly every one of the delegates in the
city attending the Epworth league con-
ference left yesterday afternoon for
Summerfeld to visit the Methodist
orphanage there. The delegates met at
the Church Street Methodist church,
where there was a number of convey
ances which were there for the pur-
pose Of carrying them to Summerfeld.
The trip proved a most pleasant one to
most of the delegates and the ride to
Summerfield and back to Selma last night
was most delightful one.
After arriving at the orphanage the del
egates were shown through the orphan
age and shown the work which is being
done there by the many little fatherless
and motherless children. Last night the
delegates witnessed the closing exercises
of the orphanage school and the showing
which the children made was a most
creditable one indeed, and the delegates
were loud in their praise of the work
which had been accomplished during The
session by the matron of the orphanase,
Miss Sudie Hunt, and those who had as
sisted her.
The delegates to the Epworth league
conference have a deep interest in the
little boys and girls at the orphanage
Every chapter of the league in the state
is helping to take care of one of the lit
tie inmates of the institution, and no
doubt the visit to the orphanage will be
the means of renewed interest upon the
part of the different chapters in this di-
rection.
