added and all manner of fine Etruscan

1t was not long. however, before
the government began to wonder what

officials knew the people were not
boarding gold, SO quiet investigation
took place. 1t was then discovered that
the makers Of gold jewelry were to
blame. Having found the cause, it was
not difficult for the officials to find a
cure. They did it by "peppering" the
coins with iridium. Resembling black
emery in the crude state, iridium re-
quires a heat of 3542 degrees Fahren-

These suggestions being presented to the
Southern Methodist General conference,
at Oklahoma, in May, 1914. were accepted
''as containing the basic principles of
genuine unification of the methodist
bodies in the United States" According
ly representatives for southern Method
ism were provided for and instructed to
treat with representatives from other
Methodist bodies in celebrating and per-
| fecting the tentative plan laid down.
These same suggestions were presented
TO the Northern Methodist General con-
ference, at Saratoga, in May 1916 That
body declared itself Sin favor of the uni
fication-in accordance with this general
plan of reorganization. But while so de-
claring 1t recommended ~ a general
conference with supreme Legislative, ex-
ecutive and judicial powers under con-

provision for increasing quadrennial con-

I1urisdictional conference. ~
The first recommendation Of northern
Methodism, i. O., THAT the general con-
ference be made the supreme legislative,
executive, and judicial body of the
church." will not meet popular favor in
the south. Theoretically. the proposed re-
organization Is to erect jurisdictional
/ bodies bearing resemblance to the SOW

METHODISTS OF NORTH
ALABAMA CONVENE AT
BESSEMER WEDNESDAY
The Rev. E. NJ. Glenn of Roanoke, Presents Inter
esting Review of Subjects Which Will Come
Before Conference Changes Among
Presiding Elders and Pastors May Result
Bishop Denny to Preside
BY e. NJ. GLENN

In the city of Bessemer, at 9 a. M.
Wednesday, November 1, the North Ala
bama conference, NJ. E. church, south,
convenes in it's forty-seventh annual ses-
sion. For the third consecutive year
Bishop Collins Denny presldes. The bet
ter he becomes known to the members
of the conference the more marked is
the appreciation entertained for him,
alike as a man of wide research and
profound learning. as an able minister
of the gospel, as a painstaklng and i'm
partial presiding officer, and as a wise
and fair administrator.
Heretofore, it has been the custom
among Methodists in the elder confer
ences for a bishop to preside more than
once or twice consecutively in the same
territory. The custom has been for them
TO touch and go. But there Is increasing
sentiment favorable to a given bishop
to come repeatedly to the same field the
better to acquaint himself with all the
ms and outs of the situation, thereby
the more intelligently and the more sat
isfactorily to determine desirable poll
cies. Then, too, such manner of vista
ton affords to the bishop ampler op-
portunity to test his own schemes and
to pass judgment upon his own admin
istration.
On the conference floor matters will
move in rather stereotyped for1n-there
being certain specific items requiring an
swers seriatim. But business picks VI
when the committees report. The policies
of the body, those that are far-reaching,
pertaining particularly to propaganda
and permanence, are threshed out in COM
nittee rooms, and cast into fit form for
the conference to act upon. The COM
plexious of the average committee is
usually the counterpart of the confer
ence; hence the action of the larger body
generally conforms to the judgment OF
the committee. This is particularly true
with regard to matters of missions,
church extension, education, Sunday
schools and Epworth leagues, and finan-
