BLACK HILLS MISSION MEETS
Philip Filled With ThrOng of
Pastors from All Points
in the District.

Mission of the Methodist Episcopal
church began to arrive on Tuesdays
train. Rev. j. d. Cain. of Speartish,
and G. l.. EillebroWn, of Underwood,
came early to conduct examinations.
Rev. Edmund Thickstun was exam
ined for Elders orders yesterday
morning.
At noon yesterday, Robert McIn-
tyre, D. d., LII. d., bishop presiding
over this, the 3lst Annual Session Of
the Black Hills Mission arrived from
Rapid City and was conveyed by auto
to the home of G. +. Moles, on Pine
street. Incessant recent labors in
conferences and much night riding by
rail, have worn the bishops strength
down. Bishop Mcintyre is still a
young man, as bishops are considered,
being only in his sixtieth year.
Many of the members of the Mis-
sion arrived on the same train with
the bishop. Among them were, R.
II. Dolliver, D. d., Supt. Black Hills
Mission and of the Deadwood district,
Rev. G. d. Royse, Supt. Rapid City
district; Rev. T. B. Wilbur, pastor
Hot Springs; John Hall, pastor Lead;
Rev. R. G. McReynolds, pastor Mid
land; Rev. G. Il. Klein, pastor Sun
dance; f. A. Doty, pastor Custer;
Rev. A. L. Duncan, pastor Pringle;
Rev. G. r. Figles, pastor Nisland:
Rev. L. e. Phifer, pastor Piedmont:
Mrs. r. II. Dolliver.
Other arrivals are: Rev. p. J. Leg
Ter, pastor Ottumwa; Rev. j. w. Ellis
pastor Nowlin: John A. Frohoman,
pastor Kadoka: Rev. D. N. Edlund,
pastor Interior; Rev. A. G. Campbell
and wife; Rev. j. M. Gardner and
wife, pastor Nashville, Rev. G. G.
Wilkens, Belle Fourche: Rev. L. f.

Clough, Belvidere.
Mr.. Otto Oelke, the representative
of the Western Book Concern at Kan
sas City, was. early on the ground
with large stock of religious books
and preachers supplies, which were
opened in the basement of the church.
The Book Concern with it's deposi-
tories in many cities, is the most eX
tensiye publishing business on earth.
Last night Bishop Mcintyre gave
his matchless lecture on Buttoned Up
People. Taking Dickens description
of Tight Barnacle as a point of de-
parture, he described selhshness in
the family exclusiveness or a loofness
in society; prejudice in politics; big
Otry in religion as buttoned-up con-
ditions Of humanity. A kindly humor
was only eXcelled in it's effect by the
soaring flights Of oratory that carried
the audience out and away from their
surroundings. He asserted and nearly
proved that God was buttoned-up
being until he revealed himself in the
person Of Christ. Doubtless there is
nothing on the lecture platform that
excels this one, and very few that
equal it.
Rev. VIM. f. Belling, of the North
west German Conference and in
charge of German work at Rapid
City and elsewhere, arrived to visit
the conference. The communion of
the Lords Supper was administered
by Bishop Mcintyre assisted by DR..
Dolliyer% and DR.. Royse.
At'9:3O Mr.. Alvin Waggoner deliv-
cred "Over the Keys not of the
keys OF the city, but the keys Of
the hearts of he people. His re-
marks were greatly appreciated and
set the conference in great good
humor. "
His speech was responded to by
Bishop Mcintyre, who said in part,
that he greatly appreciates the warm
heart of western hospitality. We
here something old and something
new, in the address of welcome and
its response. New thing in town it.
self. Very seldom is conference en-
tertained in such youthful town.
God made this country and mans
hand has been on it only few years.
Down in the city Gods hand seems
almost obliterated by the hand of
man. Here in Philip you ought to
know much about God because you
are so near Him. Philip is entertain
ing only regiment of the great
Methodist host that has ;halted for
four days.
The conference then went into a
business session, nominating Rev. c,
L. Fillebrown for secretary. He was
elected and called the conference role:
