CENTRAL N. E. CHURCH
First Quarterly Conference of Year
Held Monday Evening.

The first quarterly conference for
the year 1912 was held on Monday

The Conference considers all ques-
lions which have to do with the spir-
itual and material welfare of the

support is generally settled at this,
the first session of the year. The
district superintendent, DR.. c. L. Stat
ford, presided and Harry c. Griest,
the recording steward, was elected
secretary. .E. IT,.
The report of DR.. McClelland as
pastor was full of vital interest and
referred particularly to the great ad-
vance which had been made in the
development OF the work of the Sun
day school. The average attendance
is now about one hundred more than
it was one year ago and all of the
classes have felt the effects of the
helpful uplift of this growth. All

of life and activity and officers,
teachers and scholars are full of
enthusiasm and vigor regarding their
work. 1t is expected that the offer

The attendance at the closing meet.
ing was close to $50.
The winning side will be banqueted
by the losers, but the date for the
spread has not been definitely fixed.
Shockley says his men want some.
thing good to eat, and Spurgin says
he will beat him to it on that PROPOSE
ton if he did get licked in the con-
test.
The captains of the two sides had
splendid help from three fieutenants
and host of willing workers. L. J..
Spurgin was aided by Geo. c. True,
c. f. Brook and T. M. Shockley. G.
w. Shockley had as aides r. d. Wal
ton, Ed Walton and H. E. Davis.
There were no dull moments during
the five weeks and results are a
matter of congratulation to the work
ers and the lodge.
The membership of the lodge will
number almost oUU when all the new
