iOpelfka, Dec. l0--tSpecial--Th committee appointed by Bishop Nor, rison to investigate the charges of in- toxication preferred against Rev. J. T. Mangum of Enterprise. reported Friday morning to the Alabama Con ference. which was the first business of the day to occupy the attention of that body.
 The committee recommended that Mir. Mansum should be reinstatej to full membership in the Conference, after a further punishment of three months suspension .dating from December 6. This punishment is to be additional to ten weeks that he has already been under suspension.
 The report of the committee is said to have been somewhat sensational, but 1t was not permitted by Bishop Morrison to be read In open Confer ence.
 MT. Mangum has signified his de- termination to abide by the decision of the committee. In fact the report of the committee was based upon a confession made to 1t by MT. MangurI. It is said that the charge at Enter prise, formerly the church of MT. Man gum. will be filled by @ substitute until the expiration of his term of sus- pension. when he will be returned to 1t as pastor. This report cannot be confirmed,
 The opening prayer meeting Friday morning was led by Rev. J. F. Biibro, after which the report of the Mangum committee was submitted Then Bishop Morrison called for the class on admission to come forward for con- firmation.
 Class is Confirsned.
 The class consisted of E. W. Brooks, c. c. wilkerson. R. J. coxwe1i, F. G. Hastings. L. H. s. Chappeli. Jr.. ]. H. Williams and E. E stafford.
 After a brief introductory talk, Bishop Morrison spoke at length to the class upon the conduct expected of them as Methodist ministers. He said:-
 T do not for a moment pretend that a man may not be a good and com scientious servant of God and still in- .dulge tn some of the minor frailties of the human Face, 1T do not dare say that man may not be a good Chris tian and chew tobacco. but H always grates on my sensibilities to see q man enter home to teach those therein to lead better and more righteous life and have the good house wife place a cuspijor for him to squirt ambier Into the first thing she does after he takes his seat in the family circle. do say, however. that 1t Is tilnecessary and that we are better men without 1t. Therefore let us leave it. alone.
 T should command you to love as God loves and the natural answering qnestion comes: How can we love as God loves? God loves everything that is good and hates everything that is not good When you become so that fnrs t.n In hof SnA as He loves them and hate the things that God hates as He hates them. you can say that you love as God loves.
 Beware of Debt.
 You are commanded never to ai- low yourselves to go into debt so as to embarrass you. At times debt is not only unavoidable but necessary and even wise. In the course of your lives you will. if natural men. wish to become the owners of homes fitted to your station, in life. If you find that by carefully saving, the purchase may be made and small but reasonable debt is necessary and you feel sure that 1t will not embarrass you. then 1t is right and even wise for that debt to be contracted. But always be sure that the debts you Incur shall not embarrass you in any way.
 "I am aware that the best possible foundation for good and effective ser mon is a large, juicy, well cooked, perfectly served beef steak and if pos sible should recommend to you such foundation for your sermons, but If the procuring of that beefsteak means debt. then by all means let the steak go and be satisfied with an egg or two or something even less expensive. if need be, and thank God for the privilege.
 we have heard much of the hero ism of the itinerant preacher and in many ways he Is hero and deserves much. of the praise' that falls to his lot. but what I must say Is that the real heroism Of the itinerant preacher Is in the gentle mistress of his home. who stays there and eats such as Providence permits and Is thankful, while the itinerant preacher Is travel ing about the land. living on the fat thereof.
 ..But 1t must be added that there are women who do not know the value of a dollar and their husbands. to please them. 70 into debt for things that are not necessary. The man who does teis is less than man. What should do if had such wife, would be to put my arm about her neck. If she asked me to buy piesso or some thing else we could not afford, and say to her as I kissed and petted her. darling it simply cannot be-
 . Tt is my sincere wish that each of vou shall ind a true, faithful and low ing wife, one that will work with you and for you and for the grace and Kingdom of God. but when you do get her give her my sympathy.
 ..Finally, I wish to warn you that if ever the shafts should bind or the work seem hard and the pay less than you think you can live on. or should have or for any other similar reason the work eAems burdensome to you. then get out of the work entirely.
 The class having met every require ment was voted by the Conference to full membership.
