. A complimentary resolution rela-
tive to the coming Of Bishop Ander-
son to preside over the conference at
this time, delaying his visit to the
work OF the church In France and
northern Africa until he had held the
Conferences in his Area.
Mr.. and Mrs. l.. II. Wilson of New
port, and Miss Frances Scott OF In
dia were introduced to the Confer
ence.
The time for the noon lunch had
now arrived and all repaired to the
dining room where an elegant dinner
was serced. Following the dinner the
Rev. G. w. Bunton, d. d., Of Dayton,
Ohio, formerly popular pastor Of
several Kentucky churches including
the Third Street Church, was called
upon for speech. And maybe he
didn't speak! The way he poured the
Jokes into his former colleagues of
the Conference was sight. He got
off several take-offs' on the preach
ers that brought down the conference
with laughter and applause. Bunton
/ Is one of the most popular fellows
that ever served Kentucky church.
And now that he has risen in the
world to be the pastor of one of Day
tons largest churches the Conference
rejoices that he is production of
Old Kentucky. He Is now in the thick
of big church enterprise, a
church to cost $25O,OOO. He paid the
Third Street Church the fine compli-
ment that 1t was the only church in
Kentucky that could entertain the
Conference in such royal style on
such short notice.
During the afternoon the Women's
Foreign Missionary Society had
charge. Mrs. l.. H. Wilson presided
and Miss Frances Scott gave the ad-
dress.
