Those who appeared on the program

and held his audience spell bound.
Sunday at II o'clock DR.. Utley
preached one of his able sermons; he
also preached at night His sermons
were enjoyed by all and were said to
be among the best ever heard at st
James. He has already won the peo-
PIE of Clifton and raised in the quar-
terly conference $780, The members
are all pleased with their new pas
tor and district superintendent, and
st. James expects to do great things
this conference year. The church has
taken on new life and all departments
are at work Mrs Emma West, the
assistant teacher at our public school,
IS on the sick list this week. The
members and friends of ST. James M.
T Church are looking forward to the
celebration of John Stewart, when
viii take place Tuesday night during
the holidays. Mrs Ora Mitchell spent

Nashville Globe has many readers in
our town Born to Mr.. and Mrs.
Culps fine baby boy The Central
District of the Tennessee Conference
Of the Methodist Episcopal Church
met for its first session in Ruffin
Chapel, Humboldt, Tenn, December
7-10, 1911, with Rev. DR.. S. M. Utley,
A. b., district superintendent presid-
ing. Rev. S. M. Strayhorne, B. D.,
was elected secretary, with Revs. J.
H. Thompson and ]. w. Sebastian, as
sistants. Rev. j. W Sebastian was
appointed reporter to the Memphis
daily papers, and Rev. j. H. Thomp-
son to the Nashville daily papers and
the Nashville Globe. Rev. L. M.
Morse, d. d., of LawEenceburg,
preached the opening sermon with
great power and acceptableness which
carried one back to the days when he
was presiding elder of the Cumber-
and River District. DR. Morse has
the old time fire which stirs the heart
of men. Dr.. S. M Utley presided
with ease and dignity He has a
unique way of winning men. His lee
lures each morning were frank, yet
inspiring. Many of the pastors on
the dlstr'C' are new men, though they
soon realized that DR.. Utley was a
friend and brother, jovial yet positive
and sincere in what he says. Many
of the pastors were present with good
reports. Over $500 was apportioned
to the district for benevolent causes.
The Rev. M. H. Thompson, OF Sharon,
preached Friday night. His sermon
was enjoyed by the large audience.
Too much praise can not be given the
pastor, Rev. F. H. McAvory, and his
people for caring for the conference.
The Central District is a new crea-
ture with twenty-one appointments,
which largely embraces the western
divisions of the State and extends
from Lawreneeburg on the southeast
to Martin in the northwest. While
the district covers a large territory
and it is somewhat expensive and in
convenient to travel, it has a broad
minded man, at the helm. Large in
his physique and also mentally, and
his men are behind him for success.
We are just asking the other three
districts ito get out of our sunshine
The next session will be held at Par
sons, Tenn, Rev. j. M. Huddleston,
