TE.RDAY.
+ Especial to The Richmond Virginian)
Bristol. Tenn. Oct 1s.-rhis is a
tender day with the Holston Confer
ence The first hour of the session
was devoted to an affecting devotional
service.
The conference next heard the re-
ports OF the superannuated preachers
mad # was pathetic To the extreme to
hear these WORKOUT veterans OF the
Cross give their reports. break down
and cry broken heartedly: not because
they were old and feeble and poor,
but because they could no longer
preach and bear the burdens Of the
church,
Then the ladies had their hour.
Miss Mamie Bays a widely known
newspape correspondent and reporter
F., for religious conferences and conven-
lions. was introduced as a daughter
of the conference, her father having
! been for many years an honored
( member OF the body Mrs. W. Il.
Sulins, of Knoxville, Tenn, spoke to
the delegates in the interest of the
conference orphanage.
Mrs. ]. d. Hammond. of Augusta.
Ga. made an appeal to the confer
ence for the enlargement Of the work
Of the church among the negroes Of
he South. Mrs Hammond address
was inspiring, and under the direction
Of Bishop y aterhouse a collection
was taken for the work she repre-
sents
i The interest of the children In the
Sunday School was the subject Of an
address by Rev. Charles d. Bulla, of
the Baltimore Conference, and one of
the secretaries of the Sunday School
Board. DIR. Bulla stirred the hearts
Of his hearers
On the third day of the session the
business Is not far advanced and the
impression prevails that the Bishop

progress in arranging the preachers
appointments for the ensuing year.
The spiritual tide of the conference
lis rising high. Rev, l.. G. Bridges
I preached this afternoon. The preach
'ers about all Of them. and numbers
4 of the delegates, In Methodist par
lance, got happy, and a great shouting
meeting. which was protracted until
nearly 6 o'clock, resulted. They are
a shouting set, these mountaineers
and they back their shout
Rejoice Over the Victory.
