paying up the salary. He showed that

which saved from sin through the
preaching of the gospel.
Mrs. s%tilgebouer remarked that we
could help the pastor by keeping still

preacher, ever if it was the truth,
for anything which is told to hurt
the influence of another was SANDER
and sin. Rev. Anderson replied to the
remark and said that several former
pastoSs had been hurt SO far as in
fluence was concerned by unkind re-
marks from people in Lebanon, Dan
bury and Marion. Many more re-
marks were made which space forbid
repeating.

audience heard a business man tell
of how some christians in the audi,

lowed by several more who left a
good influence.
Rev. L. Cam was called on to adj
dress the conference on "The Worlds
Debt to Methodism." The old veter-

and the audience saw Methodist in
the true light.
After recitations and a hymn by
the audience the communion service
took place. At this hour it may be
