Of our land. To hear of their arrest anu
Imprisonment is to me hJ"ribie-the charge
u~nthinkable.
When | read the first newspaper accounts
OF this | was dumb with horror. | want
to protest against such treatment Of help
less women, pursued by crooks and insur7
ance men, who for Il few dollars would
scandalize an angel
l write out of a full heart. We think the
whole proceeding an Outrage. A lot of
helpless women among strangers caught up
and treated rs felons is a disgrace to
American civilization.
Save these women from further shame
ard persecution. | am 2orrs truly.

Two VIII Celebrate Jubilee.
Only two members of the conference
will celebrate their golden jubilee in
the ministry next year, and a resolu-
ton was adopted by the conference

Grove, and the Rev. William H.. Hag-
gerty, of Vienna. neither of whom are
actively connected with the service, one
being superannuated and the other &C.
cupying the s-upernumerary relation.
The remarkable circumstance of four
who have completed fifty years in the
ministry was witnessed at the present
conference. when the Revs. Little,
Clement, Johns and Young, all actively
engaged in the church work, were
called to the platform to speak.

dered to the Rev. Charles e. Little ON
the completion OF fifty years ministry
in the Methodist Episcopal Church by
the quarterly conference of the Dunel-
len Church, where he had served IN
his early ministry. The Rev. William
T.. Knox, the present pastor of the
church, presented the resolution, which
was applauded by the members of the
conference, who listened to it with in
terest. Mr.. Little contemplates retir-
ing from his charge at Verona and will
go into the chickon-raising industry.

Croxvned with Half Century,s Work,
The Rev. Gilbert Clement looked over
the faces of the conference as the
strains of Nearer, My God, to Thee"
died away in the dome of the church,
AMI expressed the desire that the great
forces which had gone to populate
heaven would be followed by greater.
He spoke of the men wins had lived and
while engaged in their life work passed
on, leaving earth the poorer. tTenderly
referring to personalities which had left
their mark on the Newark conference,
he spoke of the half a century which
had passed since he had stood before
the conference and taken the obligation
which he had since carried out. In 1860
