METHODISTS
MEET in
CONFERENCE
Social News and Personal Mention
Continued on Pages Two,
Four, Five and Six

The twenty fifth annual session of
the Colorado Annual Conference OF
the African NJ. E church convened
Wednesday morning in this city at
Shorter church. Its deliberations are
presided over by Bishop H. Blanton
Parks. The death of Bishop Grant
has brought this conference about
under the guiding hand of Bishop
Parks. The fact that they were the
dearest of friends and that in his last
days ii was the wish of Bishop Grant,
has doubtless had much to do with
the fifth district being added to the
already heavy labors of the bishop
presiding. Also this fact is probably
responsible for the all around good
Will and general feeling that all is
well which seems to be the prevail
ing spirit of the Conference.
The Conference annual sermon on
the morning of the first day was
preached by Rev ]. c. Bell of Pueblo.
Immediately work was taken up and
the reports of charges heard. On the
whole, the reports have shown less
reflection of the hard financial condi-
tions prevailing than was expected. a
fact that shows the work of the min
listers to have been high class. The
appointment of the many committees
and the election of conference officers
has kept the work progressing smooth
ly. Rev. ]. B. Holmes of Pueblo is
recording secretary and Rev ]. S.
Payne of Boulder is statistical secre-
tary. The first day was made no.
table by the presence of Rev. John
Hurst of the financial department who
addressed the Conference. He left
the city Thursday, accompanied by
his wife. Rev. C. H. Boone of the
Tennessee conference who has re-
Gently transferred here taking charge
of Colorado Springs, was introduced.
He succeeds Rev. Braxton who has
now become a correctional officer,
having charge of the National Preach
ers Home at Colorado Springs.

the principal address of welcome on
behalf of the people of Denver fol.

SUCH A 6UIlDlNG!

On Tuesday evening the happy use
to which the new home of Zion
church can be put was beautifully
Illustrated by the most remarkable
musicals success which attended the
presentation by the choir of old folk
songs, With these old time soul
touching melodies, there we're inter
spersed numbers from the classics
rendered by the nightingales of song.
Tribute of praise for the singers
would be doing them only justice.
Mesdames j. NJ. Wright of Topeka,
Miss frankie Buchanan, Miss Jennie
Hicks are singers of merit, the per-
formance of the last named being the
more remarkable as 1t was her first
appearance before n great audience.
Mrs. Wright was in good voice and
showed the range and power OF an
approved singer. Miss Buchanan was
n tender interlude, admirably done.
Morgan jackson played fasorite
"Traumerei" most satisfactorily Zion
choir needs no praise. All that words
can say of 1t have been said. Under
Madam Faulkner it seems to go high
er and higher so that one stops prais-
ing for want of more to say. But the
building! The building was the
thing! Nearly a thousand people con-
gregated in it and were charmed with
Its excellent acoustic properties and
commodious audience rooms. The
rally set for tomorrow will receive
