METHOD|STS ENJOY
DAY OF REST
AFTERNOON GIVEN OVER TO
SIGHTSEEING TRIPS ev
BUSY DELEGATES.

Taking advantage OF an AFTERNOON
beautiful with sunshine the Methodists
took their first bit of recreation yes
terday in a trip to the University OF
Montana and to Fort Missoula. Most
of the visitors have been too busy dur
ing the week to see any more of the
city than lies between their temporary
homes and the church. Sessions Of
the conference. church meetings and
committee work have kept most of the
preachers busy 'through the week.
Yesterday they had their first real
glimpse of the city's beauties. The
preachers are all delighted with the
Garden city. They saw its beautiful
homes and lawns and gardens yester-
day and will go away enthusiastic over
the town.
only two sessions of the conference
were held yesterday. and routine busi-
ness was the order at both of them.
In the morning the discussion of the
right of osteopaths to practice In the
Deaconess hospital at Great Falls,
which arose during the meeting Of the
laymen on Friday, was brought into
the conference proper by J. A. Metcalf,
a delegate from the lay organization
A short discussion Of the question fol-
lowed and 1t was finally decided by
the preachers that 1t would be unwise
to interfere in the management Of the
hospital. The matter was allowed TO
rest and the resolution prepared by the
laymcn was rejected.
This and Bishop Luccocks address
TO the candidates for orders were the
principal happenings at the morning
session. Bishop Luccock spoke seri-
ously and coquent'y to the candidates

The illumined life is the true represen-

by His truth and holiness. Ministers
