The Night Session.
A special business session of the
Methodist conference was held tonight
to receive the annual report Of the
church extension board. This report
was read by Secretary M. w. Hook.
and said in part as follows:
I'VE are glad to note In our confer
ence in recent years that collections
have been increased for this claim and
such Is also the case in the church at
large.
up to April /, 1912, the total dona-
tions made to churches in our confer
ence amounted to sss,712. of which the
general board gave s17,s65, and the
conference board $48,847.
There are 764. church buildings in
the bounds of the South Carolina con-
ference, and Of this number 344 have
received aid from the conference board
There are 2O9 parsonages and Of these
10 have received aid. We have 40 home
less congregations, and AZ pastoral
charges without parsonages.
I'm line with other conferences your
board has decided to create a confer
ence loan fund, and to set aside each
year at least ten per cent Of amounts
collected for said fund. We believe
that setting aside a conference loan
fund will be a nucleus about which
other funds will gather.
Our conference has been asked to
contribute to a loan fund to be known
as the William Wallace Duncan loan
fund. Response to this fund has been
disappointing. In order that the fund
may be increased, we respectfully ask
permission to add for ten years ten
per cent to the assessment Of the gen.
eral board to be distributed as a part
of that assessment by the joint board
Of finance and to be deducted from the
receipts and applied to said loan fund.
1.-The Washington representative
church claim was presented in our re-
port last year, and we are pleased to
mention that In this enterprise pro-
gress has been made. 1t Is endorsed by
all of our bishops and should meet
with a hearty and liberal response
from our people. We urge our preach
ers to establish in our Sunday schools
the Sunday school loan fund"
