QUARTERLY CONFERENCE
Excellent Financial Report Submitted
 At Methodist Quarterly Meeting

The first quarterly conference for Newark station was held Monday, and the reports showed the work in good condition. Rev. A. F. Skinner, the popular and efficient presiding elder, came in Sunday night and preached both Sunday night and Monday night to excellent crowds. His sermons were strong and edifying.
 The stewards made fine report at the conference Monday morning, hav- ing collected for the support of the ministry for this quarter S144. 75. This Is the best report ever made at this time of the year. This does not in- clude something over $200 collected and expended on the parsonage. New ark Methodism can do things when it sets out in real earnest. Everything indicates prosperous year.
 The resignation of A. C. Martin and ]. w. Adams were presented and accepted and F. NJ. Martin and F. C.. Hoyt were elected to fill their places on the board of stewards.
 Presiding Elder Skinner was de- lighted with the work done on the parsonage and the new arrangement in the church, and it goes down as cold facts that Newark station is no longer an experiment, but phenomi- nal success et all hands hearts and heads lay to, and work for a rise from year to year to higher gound and nobler endeavor.
