Mr.. Mahaffy seemed to hesitate.
Some one gave him shove and he

Some time later the Judge was
aware of a step on the path beyond
his door, and glancing up, saw the
tall figure of a man pause on his

The resolution was adopted as the
action of the conference in this case.
E. II. Rowe spoke to the confe-en &c
the contributions from the member
ship, in order that all of the oppor-
tunitieS of the church may be graSped
and the development of the church
may be hast stoned He presented a reso-
luton in which it was recommended
that every pastor preach in his church
or churches once year on the sub
ject of the duty of ttthing as a means
to increase contributions. and that eff
fort be made to train the young people
of the church TO realize their duty in
this respect.
The consideration of this resolution
was deferred until a later session of
the conference on account of the ar
rival of the hour for the order of the
day for the reception of the class into
full connection in the conference.
New Glass Received.
Calling attention to this fact, Bishop
Wilson said: Yes, We have reached
the time for the first order of the
day, and the neXt order of the day
to be considered is that of the ques-
ton of woman suffrage"
The class received into full coEnec-
ton consisted OF ten young preachers,
who Were recommended on yesterday.
Bishop Wilson addressed the class.
When concluding his remarks, Bishop
Wilson said that young preachers just
entering the conference know only one
side OF the life of the ministry, but
after service of fifty years preach
ing the gospel they will know some
thing of both sides of II. He then pro-
pounded the disciplinary questions. and
when these had been answered by the
. class the vote was put before the con-
ference and the class was received into
full connection.

was resumed, Are all the preachers

IN MEMORIAM.

By the death of our beloved past master, Brother Allen White, Fl Paso lodge No 65 has lost one of it's great est lights. He was ever ready to re- veal the deep mysteries of Masonry.
 We realize that his place will be hard to fill, as Brother White filled it, and as one versed in Masonry, he was one of the greater pillars of wis dom in Fl Paso lodge.
 Brother White, as a Mason, placed his reliance upon a Divine guidance in all his transactions.
