ance Present-.Homes Opened
to Ministers.

Morganfeld, Ky, Sept. 26.-Bishop
J. II. Mccoy, OF Birmingham, Ala,
opened the first session of the Louis.
vile Conference Yesterday morning
with some pointed and striking re-
marks on the trend of modern thought
as it affects the church. Gan evil" he
declared, (which abou nds today, al
most world wide, is he materialistic
grip, 1t dominates all social and re-
ligious life. The idea is prevalent that
the universe is governed by impersonal
laws, and the personal Christ is left OUT
The resurrected Christ is being elimi-
mated. The need of the hour is for the
church to catch a new vision of the
risen and Triumphant; Head of the
church. Not a Christ of Gallilean hui
initiation, but the high, priestly Christ,
glorious in power.
DR.. f G. b. Mann, of Lexington,
editor of the Central Methodist Advo,,
cate, preached to a great audience in
the afternoon. An old-tine Methodist
scene followed. AT 1880 p. m. DR.. Ed.
F. Cook, for many years president of
the Deaconess Training School, of
Nashville, Tenn, delivered the address
at the missionary anniversary. His
theme was one calculated to bring the
subject of home missions before the
Conference in new and striking light.
