Conclusion was reached that there

country as refuge for the down
trodden black man.
Phillips high character and his
moral bravery made his oratory ire
sistible. He never lost his self con-
troll even in the most trying times.
His appeal was always to the highest
and noblest there is in man.
The devotional exercises Wednesday
morning were conducted by Rev. H.
III. Parish of North Branch. The con-
ference sermon was then preached by
L. H. Koch of Melyose, who took for
his text Colos. 1:28. His theme was
the preaching of Jesus Christ. He
spoke of the dual character of Christ;
dwelt on his work as teacher; en-
phasizing especially his work as saw
ior. The discourse was able, argu-
mentative and listened to with great
interest.
"The Preacher and His Voice" was
the subject of an interesting paper by
Rev. Charles Fox Davis of Brainerd.
Mr.. Davis held that one infallible
sign Of being "born again" is the de-
sire of a young preacher to train his
voice., He regretted that many
preachers pay little attention to their
delivery. Hamlet's advice to the
players would, he thought, be good
advice for clergymen. A good voice,
he said, was valuable instrument to
any preacher. Mr.. Davis enumerated
several common faults in ministers
voices, namely, indistinctness, the
ministerial tone, loudness, too low a
key and the nasal twang. Referring
to loud voices the speaker said: "a
preacher is not necessarily in earnest
because he can be heard mile away.
The whistle of an engine is not the
measure of the engines power" He
urged upon his ministerial hearers to
give due attention to their delivery.
A discussion led by Rev. III. A..
Cleaveland followed during which sew
eral valuable suggestions were made.
Rev. John Blackhurst read a paper
on s'Pulpit Mannerisms that Mar the
Effect of Sermons" Mr.. Blackhurst
held that the preacher must develop
himself; he must stand as the ambas-
sador of God and hence must eschew
any mannerisms that interfere with
his pulpit power. Above all things he
must be natural. He cannot please
every one: and must not necessarily do

consistent with the highest religious
development and the evangelization
of the world. AS no individual, so nc
church, is without imperfections.
They should all seek to overlook each
others faults and join hands on the
essentials and work together for the
betterment of mankind. Mr.. Oehler
closed by extending to the visiting
clergymen hearty welcome from the
other churches of Sank Centre.
Mrs. G. B. Brecount then welcomed
the conference briefly in behalf of the
Sauk Centre Methodist church. Mrs.
Brecount, being the widow OF. one OF
the pastors who did much to bring the
church up to it's present effectiveness,
is in positionto speak intelligently
of the past. She referred to the early
days of the church, thirty-fiye years
ago when there was weak and strug.

years later the Sunday school number.
ed only q, and the pastors salary
consisted of fifty cents in cash, sack
of potatoes and few things like that.
Mrs. Brecount said that the hearts OF
the Methodists of Sauk Cenere were
open, the prophets chamber is ready
and arms are open to receive the Wis
iting clergy. Their entertainment,
she said, was labor of love.
DIR. ]. A.. Du Bois extended formal
welcome on behalf of the city. DR..
Du Bois is always happy in his re-
marks and the public is always glad to
hear him. He said he appeared for
two reasons, the first being that he
had lived long enough in Sauk Centre
to have learned that when this city
says she is glad to welcome visitors
she means it. She employs no per-
functory words. He was glad to ex-
tend welcome and hoped that when
the visiting members of the cloth
should depart they would take with
them something of value as well
as leave behind them something
OF value to the city. The doc
tors second reason for speak
ing, he said, was that after listening
to preachers for, fifty years he now had
the first opportunity of his life to talk
back. He had heard exhortation, ex-
postulation and castigation, now he
had an opportunity to return the COM
piiment with half,a century of COM
pound interest. This friendly sally
elected laughter and applause The
doctor then, in a serious vein, spoke
