Two Prelates are Heard This
Morning at Broadway Meth
odist Church.-.Assignment
OF Pastors For Tomorrow.

Bishop Collins Denny. of Nash
Vile, delivered an eloquent address
on christian Education" this morn
ing to the delegates and visitors at
tending the session of the Memphis
conference of the Methodist Episco-
pal church, south, at the Broadway
Methodist church. His address was
scholarly and a remarkably clear
and forcible discourse on the neces-
sity of Christianity being linked
with education.
Bishop Denny, who came to Paul.
cab from the Georgia conference to
make the educational address, was
warmly received by the members of
the conference. He is a pleasing
speaker and handled his subject in
splendid style, evincing a deep study
in education. christian education
is not only what is taught, but the
atmosphere in which it is taught, "
said Bishop Denny. "The ideals
hat are imprinted are important.
There is no higher work than Chris
tian education, and an institution
that stands for God should be fos-
tered and a stand should be taken
against the other kind"
The question of whether there IS
Christian education in the colleges
was answered by the fact that many
students are going to secular schools
in preference to state schools, where
tuition is free and the railroad fare
of the students is paid. In the col
lege days he said student should
give himself to God. Education does
not make a man, but IL he has an
education and starts for good his
sphere is increased, while education
also enlarges his sphere for evil II
he chooses that.

The question of making appor'
,ionment of the assessment OF the
various claims against the confer.

bate. The delegates had gone on
record as fayoring the former
method of assessing the conference
on the basis of the pastors salaries
Since the adoption there has been a
rumbling of discomfort, and the
Rev. III. B. Johnston brought up the
question of a reconsideration. The
vote was favorable. and a lively dis
cussion ensued. Some objected to
the assessment on the old plan, as
sorting that some districts paid in
excess of other districts which were
more able financially, and the
method tended to keeping down the
pastors salaries. The motion of s.
=. Jewell for the adoption of the
best plan for assessing the confer
ence for the payment of the claims
was adopted.
