the night service by Bishop a. w.
Wilson. Of Baltimore. and bishop T..
X. hendrix. of Kansas City. The latter
wa the author OF the resolution adopt
ed at the annual meeting of the church
extension board In 1909. that all coll
lections on Loan Fund Day by the vir-
Binia Conference be set aside as a
nucleus for the Cranberry loan fund.
and that It is tho sense of this board
that special effort should be made In
Virginia to provide an amount suffi-
Gent to constitute n strong loan fund
as u memorial to Bishop John c..
Cranberry"
Following this idea. the Virginia
Conference, ut It's last annual meeting,
resolved that in the event the board
decides upon Richmond as the place
of meeting, the conference set aside
the Sunday tina Will close the session
of the board to be observed through
out the conference as Church Exten-
sion Day. In the interest OF the Gran
berry loan fund;" Therefore. a collec-
ton VIII be taken In every Methodist
Church In the Virginia Conference the
coming Sunday for this fund.
Bishop Hcndri spoke last night of
the memorials to men. He said they
were built out of love. and that the
greatest worxs of art and OF archi.
lecture were inspired by religious sub
jccts.
The best memorial to Christ's hu-
manitarianism would be suitable
church buildings. and the most APP
| propriate memorial to Bishop Gran
berry would be the raising OF a fund
OF $4,000 to be loaned to churches by
the Methodists OF the State which was
his home.

of the Virginian could hardly lave

beginning at 3 o'clock, Bishop w. r.
Lambuth Will speak on Brazil, and
Bishop r. G.. Waterhouse on the work

vice Bishop w. A. GAMBLER Will deliver
an address on Church Extension as q
Missionary Agency" while Bishop John
c. Ktlgo will speak on Church Exten-
sion and the Washington City Repre-
sentative Church."
An interesting point in the report
of DR.. McAfurry, was the statement
that the effort to aid the colored Meth
odist Episcopal churches had not been
met with favor. only a small amount
having been realized. Very few OF
the conferences assumed the amount
apportioned. The people say that when
a colored church Is to be built, they
are thoroughly canvassed by the rep
resentatives of the enterprise. and do
not desire to establish a epara
fund of this kind.
