after the reading Of the minutes of

was taken up, and an avalanche of
speeches followed, the first being
by Rev. DR.. Baketell of New York

by DR.. ] B. Hingeley of Chicago

ate preachers. The Doctor de-
clared that there were 4,I78 super
annuate Methodist preachers in the
country, and that the pittances an
nually doled out to them per year
ranged from $500 to almost nothing.
The plan of his society was to pro-
vide a permanent fund so that the
income from it and from current
collections would be sufficient to
retire every veteran on half of his
previous average salary for the rest
of his life. Bishop Mcintyre pre-
sented to the Conference drafts of
$e48 from the Book Concern and
SIS from the Chartered Fund, the

RELIGIOUS THOUGHT.

Gems Cleaned From the Teaching,
of All Denominations.
In nine cases out of ten it takes
more heroism not to fight than 1t does
to fight.-Rev. G. Fl. Parkhurst, Pres
byterian, New York.
To Influence People.
You don't have to be very wise or
brilliant to be influential. Be pleasant
to your neighbors and thus shall your
righteousness and holiness count for
good. Rev. G. Hodges, Episcopalian,
Boston.
Fight For Your Ideal.
Every man should have his ideal and
should fight for it, as the color bearer
is intrusted with the emblem of the
army's success and refuses to sur
render it.-Rev. c. f. Carter. Baptist,
Lexington. Ky.
Cure For Social Ills.
Family purity is the one and great
cure for social ills. Marriage is wo.
mans destiny: 1t is the aim of her life
Her work should be for her husband,
her children and her home.-Cardinai
Gibbons, Roman Catholic, Baltimore.
The Greatest Prize.
Life offers many prizes, all Of which
may be good and desirable, but the
greatest consists not in physical or
mental but in moral values. That sort
of prize lasts.-Rev. DR.. Charles Bay

In the course of his strong address
Supt. Ferguson of Burlington quoted
from the prophecy OF Isaiah aud called
the present license law an agreement
with bell'', and called for its disannul-
ment. He declared that he was born and
bred republican, but was "no foot of a
republican, and when that party goes
off on whiskey picnic and forgets to
come back it cannot take him along
with it. That his audience was in sub
stantial agreement with the sentiments

CONFERENCE DOINGS.
Great Lecture by Greet
Orator.

Thursday night the opera house
was crowded to the limit to hear
Bishop Mcintyre talk on Button
ed-Up People. " No abstract of
this lecture will do it justice. 1t
was marvellous in its blending of
wit and pathos, and its series of
word painting. The description Of
the Chicago fire was mastery, its
picture of a saucer of Strawberries
and cream makes the mouths Of
his auditors still water, and it will
long linger in memory as master
piece of oratory.
