METHODIST
Sunday was an exceptional fine
day with US in our church services
We had l73 in S. S, and a fine
congregation at the preaching serv-
ice. The ladies rendered one of
the most beautiful songs they have
rendered. as think about it; the
services were good. In the evening
we had q fine congregation, and
the male quartette gave beautiful
selection, and it rained, and rained.
How the people made it home. do
not know. but wet guess.
Next Sunday morning | will use
the theme The Downfall of Ma
tons and the Causes" Prof. Earn
est Cottey. Supt. of the Public
Schools in Knox Co. told me this
theme was one of the best he ever
opened all ear to; he asked me TO
preserve the manuscript. In the
evening Bro. Wynn will hold the
service. this being the third Quar-
terly Conference. We ought to be
in the service. since we are holding
the Communion Service only once
in three months. this year.
| suppose you noticed the uniting
of the Methodist Churches in the
General Conference of the NJ, E
Church at Saratoga. 1t is one OF
the greatest moves in the world
numerically, financially and every
other way; we have 100000 mem.
bers and over 20,00O,000 constitu.
ents. There are so Bishops. and
one residing in all of the nations Of
the earth looking after our inter.
ests. With the progressive spirit
of the northern brethren. and the
religious spirit Of the south flowing
in one great body. there is a mighty
force for righteousness. The repor,
of the work in foreign nation took
two hours. and was one of the
greatest reports ever read; it ere
ated a great sensation in the church
over the wonderful accomplish
ments in heathern lands. The re
port shows about $50 against 43 in
changing the attitude on "worldli
ness amusements." and when we
think of the strictness of the M. E
Church on this subject. it is won
derful for they are stricter than we
are. 583 against a change is great
er than they held 4 years ago. 7
new Bishops are elected. CT Hoy
