hoping for his reappointment to Mays

The conference then adjourned for
noon hour
One Of the most pleasing features of
the day was the noon lunch that was
served so nicely by the ladies' Of the
church. The other pastors of the city
and Mr.. Carl Dodds, Secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce were present
by special invitation. After partaking
of the lunch, Rev. Hunt as master of
ceremonies introduced Secretary
Dodds who welcomed the Conference
on behalf of the Chamber of Com
merce and the city OF Maysville. He
had prepared in mimeograph form a
splendid description of Maysville, her
various interests and those of the sur
rounding county, a copy Of which was
given to each visitor. Rev. w. B..
Campbell welcomed the Conference on
behalf of the Ministerial Association
of the city. Rev. f. W. Harrop gave
the response for the Conference, and
anybody who knows Rev. Harrop can
guess the kind of speech. He assured
the Conference that he had arranged
with the mayor, police Judge, chief of
police and the force, that the preach
ers should not be molested nor
brought into police court during their
stay In the city. The speaker paid
a fine compliment to Maysville and
her people. He said that when he
grew old enough to be retired he

live and that he didn't care whether
he ever died and went to heaven or
not-Maysville was good enough for
him. 1t was very happy speech and
certainly put the conference in good
humer. The closing speech was given
by Bishop Anderson. The good Bishop
demonstrated the fact that he is a
pretty good after dinner speaker. Fol
awhile he kept the conference in q
roar with his funny stories. He CLOSED
his address with strong plea fol
faithfulness in the work of the Cos.
pei, saying that there never was sc
important an age as the present one.
