REPORT or SECRETARY J. H. sTRAUGHN.
The Maryland Annual Conference.
''Dear Brethren
I'm accordance with my financial re-
port permit me to make some sugges-
tons. The Secretary entertains an am
bitiOn to make the minutes of the Con-
ference as perfect a book as possible.
Last year, in spite of great care, some
errors were made. One of the causes
arises from the way in which reports
and papers are delivered to the Secre-
tary. Many of them are in pencil some
very poorly written, either by hand or
typewriter, and before they can be de-
livered to the printer must be rewritten
hv the secretary. This of course in ad-
dition to mistakes that are made also
increases unnecessarily the work of the
office. | do not understand that the Sec
rotary work is to edit reports and pa
pers, but simply to publish what Is de-
livered to him. Accordingly, hope the
conference members will see that every
paper is ready for the printer when 1t IS
handed in. -
Il should also like to suggest that the
financial tables lie on the table for a
sufficient time to afford inspection to
every pastor. The Secretary has not
the slightest means Of discovering what
ever inaccuracies there may be in them.
Let each pastor see that the figures for
his charge are correct
"As Committee on Credentials" / re-
port: /, That certificates Of elections
have not been received from Waverly,
Campbell, Lawsonia, Cumberland, Cir
cult. Fairfas, Frederick, Indian River,
Middleway, Nichols Memorial, Patapseo'
Prince George and Talbot. 2, That the
election at Bethany was not held within
the time limit and that at Lewes station
the pastor presided at the meeting"
The financial report follows:
