Orphan
Baby Is A Big Hit At The
M. E. Conference
Occupies Pulpit At Dignified
Church Session


of little Miss Matilda Morefield, 8
months old, sparkled in amazement
Thursday at the northeast Ohio con-
ference of the Methodist church.
She held the center of attention.
Miss Matilda is one of the wards
in the Methodist Children's home at
Worthington, near Columbus. She
is attending the conference with sew
eral other children who were brought
here in charge of one of the institu-
tons house mothers. She occupied
seat in the pulpit yesterday after
noon.
The babe was found in basket on
the doorstep of a Columbus home.
She was given the first name of
woman who contributed large sums
to the Methodist home. Her last
name is that of Methodist church
which the woman attended.
The necessity of churches of all
denominations properly to care for
their orphan children was emphasiz-
ed Thursday before delegates to the
Cincinnati. Advocating expansion of
children's welfare work, Rev. Mr..
Longman urged that facilities be
added to the Methodist children's
home at Worthington, near Colum-
bus. This is the only Methodist or
phan institution in the state. 1t was
established four years ago and now
is caring for more than eighty little
ones. Rev. Mr.. Longman advocated
additions to be built on the cottage
plan, which ultimately will result in
maintenance of numerous cottages,
each under the care of two house
mothers. The object is to rescue
the children from institution uni
formity and bring them closer to
home life.
Balloting to elect eleven pastoral

delegates to the general conference
Rev. S. b. Halmon, pastor of the
First Methodist church here, and
Rev. e. o. Buxton, retiring superin-
tendent from the Akron district, are
considered strong candidates for the
honor in this district. Rev. E. A.
Simon, secretary of the conference
and assistant pastor of the First
Methodist church, Cleveland, and
Rev. Charles Smith were being fav-
ored for election. Eleven lay dele
gates also will be elected to the gen.
eral conference. Laymen will bal
lot Friday afternoon.
Bishop William F. Anderson, who
is beginning his third year as presi-
dent of the conference, was enthus-
iastically welcomed by the delegates.
A paper read before the conference
by Rev. e. e. Wilson, lauded his fine
brotherly spirit, his statesmanlike
leadership and sympathetic interest.
1t extended hearty and loyal coop
Grafton.
The financial report of the Meth
odist book concern brought cheers
from the delegates. The conference
was presented a draft for $7,770,
which is the annual dividend declar-
ed by the official organ of Methodist
churches. 1t is shared among dis
abled ministers, widows and orphans

PASSING OF OLD PIONEER
DEATH OF "PAT" MADDEN
The End Came Quite Unexpectedly
Early Morning After Illness of
Only Few Days

The Xmas festivities were overcast
with gloom in the homes of many of
the old time residents of Langdon and
vicinity when it was learned Monday
that Pat Madden had passed away at
an early hour that morning in his
room over the pool hall and bowling
alley of LeBrun & Matthew. The ILL
ness of the deceased, to the extent of
confning him to his bed was of less
than weeks duration and death is
stated by the doctor in attendance
upon the patient as being due to
bronchial-pneumonia, the patient ly-
ing in practically unconscious condi-
tion for several hours before the end
came. Patrick Madden as near as it
can be learned, was about sixty wo
years old and his coming to Cavalier
county and homesteading in Loan
township dates back to 1885. Since
young man, he had been stone deaf
as the result of an accident in which
he received heavy blow on the head
and which also resulted in partial
paralysis. This aff1iction and failing
health has of late years incapa-
citated him from work and he has
lately been a familiar figure around
town. Ireland is the land of Pat
Madden's birth and he is understood
to have lived near the city of Belfast
up to the time of his coming tc
America in 1882 when he came to
| Winnipeg, later crossing the line into
Pembina county and as above stateC
homesteading here in 1885. His only
known relative in this country was {
brother, Charley Madden, who livec
at Walhalla, and died there eight OF
nine years ago The deafness from
which the deceased had suffered fol
most of his life accounts for wha
may have seemed his unsociable nature
and no doubt took much from his life
that brings enjoyment to the rest o:
US. He at no time accumulated an.
large amount of this worlds goods
but of him it can be said that he hat
always lived an honest straight for
ward life and the announcement tina
Pat Madden had gone to his rewart
came as quite a shock to his man.
