A. M. E. ZION CONFERENCE
 OPENS IMPORTANT SESSION

The Central Alabama Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church met yesterday at 10 o'clock at the Zion Star Church on Pollard Street. Bishop J. w. Alstock, D, D., presiding.
 The usual opening services were con- ducted by the Bishop with the assist ance of Revs. A. S. Watkins, W. H. Fin ley, N. s. Meadows and M Rankin on the platform.
 The Bishop commenting on a Script ural lesson gave some strong advice to the preachers and took a strong posi- ton against tendencies toward habitual wickedness of any kind. Citing Judas Iscariot as an instance, he pointed to the disposition of many preachers of in- fuence and power by the simple means to encourage habitual wicked thoughts and acts which in themselves and apart from other acts, would be very small, but in connection with others form a powerful engine of destruction.
