Saturday and Sunday were the big
days of the conference and the atten-
dance of laymen and other Methodist
adherents was largely augmented until
it is believed there were at least a
thousand out of town people attending
the Sunday services.
The laymen's convention was held in
the Congregational church Saturday,
where an interesting program was car
ried out. A banquet served by the
Methodist ladies of Edgerton and AL
bion Prairie at the tennis rink at noon
had covers laid for 325 and the meal
was highly praised by all in attendance.
Every service Sunday was attended
by congregations that packed the places
of worship to the fullest capacity. The
program began with the annual love
feast, which was led by Rev. Andrew
Porter of Milton Junction. Following
this came the sermon by Bishop Berry
in which the bishop upheld his high
reputation as an orator and preacher.
Preceding the sermon the bishop or
dained two young men as deacons, the
Rev. Forrest H. Woodside and the Rev.
Henry |. James, while in the afternoon
he ordained three as elders, the Rev.
R. B. Cramer, the Rev. John w. Perry
and the Rev. A. L. Tucker.
Ex-Gov. Hanly of Indiana delivered
the address in the afternoon at the lay
mems mass meeting. His subject was,
'The Irrepressible Conflict" It was
terrible arraignment of the evils of
the liquor traffic. Mr.. Hanly pointed
out the great gains that had been made
In the interest of temperance and out

Amigo was chosen as the location of |
the conference next year.

afforded by local bank were appreci- |
ated as is shown by the following reso-
luton adopted by the conference:
